I finished my law degree in 2011. Passed the bar in 2012.
I am now on my third year in my coursework for my doctorate degree in communication at UP Open University. Next school year, I will already enroll in Comm 400 (Dissertation). I am excited to enter the candidacy phase of my doctorate studies.
However, next year, I need to take the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Seminar. I intend also to enrol in the Master of Laws program of San Beda Graduate School of Law. For my thesis, I intend to write a treatise that will annotate the Philippine Laws on Trust and Investments. Wishful thinking.
Thereafter, I intend to take the PhD in Law and Economics at Erasmus Mundus Program (University of Bologna - Italy, University of Hamburg - Germany, Rotterdam Institute of Law and Economics - Netherlands, and Indira Ghandi Institute of Development Studies - India.). Imagine spending 4 years in 4 different universities for a PhD!
The ultimate question is: What will I do after my doctorate studies? He he he. Am I prepared ti pursue a career in the academe? He he he.

It was really fast. It was really quick.
It is undefined.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.

A new beginning
I opened this blogsite in 2007. In 2007, I was just promoted as Manager and Senior Account Officer at BPI Asset Management handling the investment/retirement/endowment funds of foundations, schools and religious institutions. I also graduated from the Trust School as class valedictorian. I just acquired my black sapphire chevy.
Today, it's September 12, 2012. I can't sleep. So many things happened between 2007 and 2012.
In June 2007, I finally decided to pursue law studies. I was an entrance scholar at the Lyceum of the Philippines University College of Law (Makati). Experienced many sleepless nights digesting cases and memorizing codal provisions of the law while working as Senior Account Officer at BPI. In 2008, I transferred to General Electric (GE) as Account Management Leader for the Trust Banking business of GE Money Philippines. In 2009, GE Money was absorbed by BDO.
I joined BDO Trust as Senior Manager - Product and Market Development (lateral entry).
In 2010, I went back to UP. This time as doctorate student at the Faculty of Information and Communication Studies at UP Open University. My student number is still the same. I am Number 1994-07492.
It was in June 2010 that I was simultaneously a full time employee, full time law student and part-time doctorate student. It was during this period that I got the habit of sleeping only for 4 hours daily. My body rhythm was really fucked up. My relationship with my girlfriend suffered.
I graduated from law school in 2011. Thereafter I took my Pre-Bar Review at the PCU College of Law. The review was extensive since the classes are held only every weekend. It was really a self review. I did not resign from work. I only took a 13 day VL during the bar exams (November 2011).
February 2012 - Miracles do happen. I passed the bar!
March 2012 - I took the oath and signed the roll of attorneys. I am now Atty. Michael G Munsayac. I an number 60706.
May 2012 - I was informed by my boss of my promotion ot AVP - Product and Market Development.
2012 was really a blessed year for me.
August 2012 - I ended a seven (7) year- relationship. It was gentle and swift. I received the most painful slap in my whole life. It was doomed from the beginning. It was just lust. Love is missing in the equation. I believe this was my longest relationship ever. Was it really over? Yes, It's over when I said It's over. I can still feel the scars.
I just prayed to God that I am accepting my destiny. I was prepared to pursue single blessedness. My life is so fucked up. I am what you may call a "damaged good".
September 2012 - Another chapter of my life started. It's not perfect but I am learning a lot from this experience.
