How to Lose Your Job for 16 Months
Losing ones job is hard enough, but losing ones job by choice is harder.
Thursday was payday. Fifteen days ago was also payday. If it wasn't the long lines in the ATM, I would not have noticed these two important dates. Two months ago, I submitted my resignation letter. I wasn't fired, I wasn't threatened of being retrenched, I had a good boss, I had flexible time, but I resigned nonetheless. Quitting my job wasn't a simple decision, it was a choice. It was a matter of prioritizing and focus. Since it was more of a conviction rather than forced by circumstance, I knew I had to stand up for it.

Band of Murderous Brothers: A Firsthand Account
What kind of environment has UP become that it regularly breeds people who will maim and kill one another because a brod was stared at by someone from a rival fraternity?

4:50pm. We decided to do our case conference outside the Supervising Lawyers room. It was my team mates birthday so he proposed to treat the team and have our case conference in Shakey's Katipunan instead. We have two team memebers who are from the Upsilon Sigma Phi - the rival fraternity (currently) of Sigma Rho Fraternity.
