The GREATEST News of the Year (so far)

Wow! Congratulations to your family! Having a lawyer in the family is such an achievement for the whole. I have a cousin who is a lawyer and we were all happy when he passed the BAR. He is now a captain in the Philippine National Police. He practiced being a lawyer for some time before joining the Police. I remember when we were younger and we were talking to our Grandpa and he asked us what we want to be. Grandpa asked him if he wanted to become a lawyer and he said no because lawyers justify all even if it is not right or lawful as long as his clients win the case. We still laugh about it when we reminisce that time. The good news for me this year is that school time is over and summer vacation is coming. It's time to unwind from many paper works at the school I'm working in. It's time to get to the beaches and resorts and bask in the sand and surf.

I am thrilled to hear that your brother has passed his bar. If I remember correctly you had told me you were helping him financially with his studies? I am not sure if it was you or another person. Well congratulations to your brother. As far as good news this year, I can't say that there is any thus far.

Hi neildc, from this day on, whenever you are peeved by someone, do not get angry anymore. All you have to say is See you in court, ha ha! Congratulations! Your brother needs to treat. Give him the cash!

Hi Neil, Congratulations. That is such a great reason for your family to celebrate. it's really tough. He deserved all the treat my friend for passing the board exams. Cheers!

There's a lot of good news but the greatest so far is when my Mom told me that my younger Sister passed the 2009 Nursing Licensure Exam. Another news that I'm looking forward is our Annualization this coming July. We get our Annual Basic Salary increase every month of July and this is a performance- based increase. My stats are good so I'm so excited to know the percentage of my Annualization for this year.

Am so glad for your brother concerning his call

to soon to tell nothing has happen just yet to be great news!

Wow congratulations to your brother.I had seen a one crying lady on Manila Bulletin yesterday, she saw her boyfriend's name on the list of the board passers. I know how you feel and it is a wonderful feeling if you became successful achieving your goals. The good news I received this year is I already starting the operation of my business. I am happy that I can now finally move out of the rat race.

That's wonderful. Did he pass it on the first try? Best news this year, hmmmm.... Naomi doesn't need braces yet. I guess that's good...

Congraulations to your brother, that's quite an accomplisment for him. I can't think of any real good news i have had so far this year but thank god i haven't had any real bad either. Happy mon. to u.

Wow! It is a tough exam.I would like to congratulate your brother and your whole family as well for that. You now have a lawyer and that is one feather in your cap. Not all aspiring lawyers managed to fulfill their dream actually. I know someone who have taken this exam to the limit and still was unable to pass. It is good they've lowered the passing more to 71 percent I think. Again my Congratulations!

I have a grandson who went through that a couple of years ago and I remember how hard it was for him. Now he works to defend children and says learning to pass the Bar was just the beginning, he's now learning how to be a Lawyer.

That is fantastic news! You must be so proud of your brother; that is a great achievement. He must have worked very hard to get to this successful point! So far this year I haven’t had too many news yet, except that my sister in law is going to have a baby due any day now! Congratulations again to your family and your brother, great stuff!

Well greatest news of this year is yet to come this july. Its my brothers marriage and my sisters baby. I will update this discussion in three months after those greatest news!

Congratulations to your brother. You must be very proud of him. Personal good news is that I quit a stressful job, and have just a little work to keep me occupied. On another site where I post my Easter Poem was featured one day, and I was touched by that. I love Easter and what it means.

hi neildc I am so happy for you and your brother, I have read all about the sacrifices and work it takes to pass the bar exam and become a full fledged lawyer. So congratulations to you and your lawyer brother. I really do not have any greatest news of the year yet but the year is still young and I am still alive and kicking so guess thats' great news, not the greatest.

Its a really good news to here. Lawer and lier are quite common. ( dont misinterpret it please ). Here lawers tend to lie to get free their clients from several cases. I am also encountering a case where i was attempted to murder by a youth. I registered a police case and it has run to court just month ago, where our rival lawer confused me with tones of lies. So i hope your brother will be a true lawer, never a lier. Offer my congratulations to him. For me the best news was, when i was declared as 2nd best villain in an international drama competition. Photos added. Take care.
