I am being haunted by the living again and I find this type of haunting far more irksome. Give me a nice ghost anytime. This particular crazy, haunting human has been haunting a few well known bloggers. She's been haunting autumn forest of Ghost Hunting Theories and Dr. Heckle. She is a doppleganger...
Let me preface this blog entry by saying that I am no gunner. I do what I have to do to get by, and I do what I personally have to do to ensure that I know what I have to know.Thus, I'm (obviously) taking Barbri to prepare for the Bar this summer. Barbri has been great and has a lot of great features that they tout at every...
Dolls scare the hell out of me so this story gave me nightmares. I'm not entirely sure why, but cursed dolls are particularly scary to me. This is the story of an over sized Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle. Annabelle was a gift given to a young nurse named Donna by her mother. It wasn't long after Annabelle...
Barbri is fantastic, but I also need to work on personal organization and educating myself outside of the scope of Barbri. Which is why I'm creating a new line of posts in which I seek organizational tips from fellow Bar students/lawyers, as well as give a rundown of my organizational process, so to speak.Topic of the day: creating a Bar MBE notebook.I actually plan on having two notebooks:...
Today was Barbri day 5, as indicated in my title. While I realize that many argue that the word excruciating is one that precludes degrees (much like someone can't be "very unique" or "a little bit pregnant"), I personally think that there are degrees to excruciating, like thumbtacks v. bamboo shoots under the fingernails. Or like 7 hours of Barbri review given by the same guy who sounds...

Today I did the 3 hour, 100 question MBE practice test. I got 57 questions right. Which means I got 43 wrong. Of the six subjects:1) Contracts kicked my ass. So did Evidence and Torts. Like, made me want to cry kicked my ass.2) I only got three Real Property questions wrong. Which makes me question whether I took some kind of red pill and wandered into a Matrix-type rabbit hole. As opposed to Adderall,...
Ateneo de Manila University was one of the oldest, and one of the most popular university in the Philippines. The main campus of ADMU is in Quezon City, just beside the Katipunan Avenue and near Loyola Memorial Park and Barangka Cemetery. Anyway, we are not going to discuss everything about ADMU, however we will talk about the other side of this known university. I'm talking about the scary ghost...
Today's Barbri preview focused on Constitutional Law and Evidence and OH MY GOD I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AND WE'RE ALL GONNNNNNNAAAA DIIIIIIEEEEEEEE.But for reals, it was (again) totally demoralizing, although definitely not surprising, with regard to how little I know. Completely.Notes from today:1) Got to see the Criminal Law teacher again...he reminds me of Steven Colbert, and makes my day better....
Hollywood loves to make adaptations. It loves adaptations of television shows, books, video games, author's lives, etc. The recent rage in adaptations appears to be board games. This summer the first of many board game based movies was released in the form of Battleship. The duo that directed Alvin...
Barbri Day #2 is over, although I do have some "homework" I apparently need to go over. Today was a lot worse than yesterday, namely because it went over Real Property and Contracts, and I very much so suck at both of those subjects....particularly Contracts.Guy teaching the courses (same guy for both, both on a video) was funny. He reminded me of Louis Black. Without the cussing. Which may have made...

1) Barbri started today. This means I get to officially learn what's actually *relevant* for the Bar....since the past three years have apparently MEANT NOTHING.2) We started off with a Torts practice exam. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.3) To the douche sitting behind me: BURN. No, really. I'm tired of you already being a douchebag, particularly since we're only one hour into the effing course....

Last Wednesday was Manuscript Meeting night at Nottingham Writers' Club. This is where people can read out a short piece and get feedback from the other members who have a wide variety of knowledge and experience. Two efforts stood out for me.One fellow read out his entry which had come second in one of last year's club competitions - a short story suitable for radio. This was a tale about a gambler...
Haunted objects have always held particular fascination for me and I found this story particularly creepy. I have always wondered about the haunted items on eBay, but this haunted item, known as the eBay painting seems to have turned into a legend. The ebay painting's official name is "The Hands That Resist Him.." The painting was done by Oakland, California...

I'm working on Haunted South Alabama and the sequel to Circe this week so I will be blogging slowly. I hate to leave my blog completely naked while I work so until I get my lazy rear end blogging again, I'm going to give away free copies of my urban fantasy novel, Death's Dream Kingdom on Kindle. If you would...
Ferdinand Marcos, the 10th president, for me, is a lifetime famous influencial politician not only in the Philippines but, perhaps, all over the world. Influencial in a sense that he opened the minds of Filipinos for another unity (well the first was against Spaniards), which also began the protest of other countries against...
News[Taken from a News Portal Website[1]:]Barangay residents fear 'aswang' attacksWednesday, May 9, 2012MAGUINDANAO -- Residents in a barangay here are terrified over reports of attacks by an aswang, a vampire-like creature in Philippine folklore. Alex Lumenda said his eight-year-old child went to the back portion of their house in Barangay Makir, Datu Odin Sinsuat to urinate when he heard the child...
I've been a little slow in blog posting this week because I have been working on my next History Press Book, Haunted South Alabama. The journey I take in writing a collection of ghost stories is always interesting. I begin with an outline I submit with my book proposal package, but as I bury myself in research, I often discover ghost stories are not what I expect them to be. For...

I don't watch much paranormal television, but I've been housebound lately and my television consumption has increased. I was watching Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files today and something they said made me angry. I wanted to say, "Read a book!" to the hosts of this show, but reading seems to be a lost art. ...
AboutMany Filipinos believe in ghosts, and hospitals, being the place where there's always death, of course, they will think that a single hospital is home for a hundreds of ghosts. There was this text message which could be an example of ghost in hospitals. No one knows if it actually happened or not but, for sure, it was...
Things that really bother me while taking final exams:1) Deep sighing2) Vibrating phones (turn those bitches OFF)3) Loud typing--is it necessary to batter your computer?4) People that leave 40 minutes into exam (and it's three hours long)5) Going blank (this one's totally on me--fault completely my own)6) Rustling food bags--open it, get it over with, and for the love of God, please don't smack7)...
Frommer's describes the great bell in Da Zhongsi as a bell so vast and beautiful it could "bring out the hunchback" in anyone.
