yey! new bag!

yey! got a new bag! that Accel bag I was talking about.. guess what? It was on-sale, so 20% off php450, php360 lang ang price nya.. me and my kuya are drooling over those cool Acupuncture shoes... kasi naman, konti lang pera namin.. buti pa ung kapatid naming isa, nabili nya ung gusto nyang Kickers shoes.. that fits well on me.. *grin*

omg! didn't manage to digest any case today dahil sa malalang sakit ko na... katamaran. I'm getting kinda nervous na about that ah... maybe I should really start working on it and maybe this time, I should really mean what I'm saying.. right?

Need to drop off something at Leo's tomorrow.. stuff that Kim needs.. a copy of a case and the Phil. Consti. by H. De Leon.. wala lang, baka makalimutan ko na naman... I'm so forgetful kasi. =D

[ lesson learned for today ]

A weasel word is a word that is intended to, or has the effect of, softening the force of a potentially controversial statement, or avoids forming a clear position on a particular issue. Weasel words can be readily identified in a large amount of corporate correspondence, and are frequently used by politicians. A weasel word can be compared with, but is distinct from a euphemism.

Though the imagery of the term suggests that it implies the concept of a weasel as being sneaky and able to wiggle out of a tight spot, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language says that the term actually comes from the weasel's ability to suck the contents out of an egg without breaking the shell; thus, weasel words suck the meaning out of a statement while seeming to keep the idea intact.

Weasel words are almost always intended to deceive or draw attention from something the speaker doesn't want emphasized, rather than being the inadvertent result of the speaker's or writer's poor but honest attempt at description.
