One Tip to Keep Those Tinder Convos Going

-

 Everyone has to be a salesman in this day and age. 

You have to be able to sell yourself within the first few seconds before someone swipes left. That requires wit, humor, and accuracy. You don't want to sell yourself short. But you wouldn't want to bore them with unnecessary life details either. Save that for the first date.

That's only half the trick. Once you do get matches, you have to strike up a conversation and sustain that level of energy. Sure, it ebbs and flows, but the goal is to ride the current until the fall. So, how do you do that?

It's a sure sign that you're paying attention. Individualize that match before striking it against the matchbox. Which would turn you on better - a "hi" or a "do you have that many secrets stored in Vegas?" 

Aim for specificity. What's her favorite book, movie or political stance? Then form a question concerning that.

What Your 'Atorni'-Friend Wants to Tell You, But Can't

 Why do I dislike giving free legal advice? The moment I give someone legal advice about a specific problem, they become a client. So what? The moment you become a client, I am bound by lawyer-client confidentiality. That means that I will have to keep any information you impart privy between us (with some exceptions). Isn't that a good thing? For you, it might be. And I'm not acting out of my own selfish interest, but by giving you  advice, I am basically sworn to keep private any crime you admit to having committed, at the expense of the greater public.  We take it upon ourselves to prioritize our clients' interests over our own, but that does not mean that we should give free legal advice to those who are capable of paying for our services.  Also, imagine taking on a client without getting properly compensated for the time and research you have undertaken. When you pay lawyers, you are basically paying for the years we have invested into rote memorization an...

What Does Buying a Mid-Range Phone Have to do with Offering Legal Services?

-
I'M A CHEAPSKATE . It has its benefits. Saving money comes naturally to me. The cheapskate in me would easily brand my recent purchase as a splurge .  It was a mid-range phone without any freebies, and it did not come with a postpaid plan.  It would have been smarter to choose among the phones offered by telecommunication companies that came with a postpaid plan. I'm still subscribed to one, mind you.  But I felt like it was time to buy a phone with a decent camera.  Was it a wise investment? Definitely.  A s a lawyer,   I need to collect pieces of evidence, such as pictures of people or bodies, documents, and even places where incidents were claimed to have happened.  I need to be able to have witnesses identify these pieces of evidence, and present them before a judge.  Both would heavily rely on the vividness of colors (which are important when you're presenting bruises on a body), or the clarity of text (on documents, the genuineness thereo...

If You Want To Travel, Remember To Do This

By travel, I don't mean a lone journey to a foreign location. By travel, I mean  a snorkeling/free-diving/swimming/sun-bathing session in at least 10 beaches,  or even a-couple-of-days-in-between-travel to Ilocos-Vigan-Pagudpud,  Batangas   and  the Hundred Islands-Bolinao-Patar.  You would need an iron bladder for a 8–12-hour ride to  the destinations alone. I told myself I would travel   once every month , but the Scorpio in me decided to travel to as many places in  one month! Here are a few things I learned about traveling: 1. Travelling light isn't always a good thing. I applauded myself for traveling with only one bag to Batangas for freediving lessons.  But I almost ran out of clothing for the multi-city( or municipality, I'm not sure) visit to the Hundred Islands. It wasn't a fun thought reusing salt-dried clothing on the way home. And to be realistic, you won't be able to fit all your items in one bag if you're one to freedive. ...
