ako si corbin!

isang nilalang mula sa isang all-girls school. at ngayo'y pumapasok na sa unibersidad ng pilipinas bilang isang CHK freshie. mahilig magbasa ng mga libro lalong-lalo na ang mga sinulat nina michael connelly, james patterson, lualhati bautista at nicholas sparks. nangungulila sa paglalaro ng softball. mahal na mahal ang pag-aaral ng arnis. mahilig tumunganga, mag-isip, magmuni-muni. at mahilig sa mga outdoor activities at mga hayop lalo na ang aking bebe.

desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

This is just going to be a very very quick one.

I was supposed to post something about what happened yesterday. eh biglang nag freeze 'tong bwiset na ym, damay tuloy lahat! so.. We went to Divisoria. Ang daming tao. First time ko yun. Bought shirts, thought they were not that fitted, pero bwiset di ko type. tapos some other stuff. my dad bought a box-full of picture frames! around 30 pieces worth 70 pesos each, mura na raw since mga nasa 90 pesos yun sa mall. Napabili kami ng payong nang di oras. Biglang umulan, muntikan pa ako 'lumabas' ng sidecar dahil dumaan ito sa isang "hole", siguro instinct ko yun. dumaan kami ng UP, bili ng mangga, isaw at bbq! Dun daw nag'dadate' sila mama, mangga, isaw at buko juice under the trees! o diba? romantic? lol.

So about school. First day namin. Gawd, walang nagbago! To quote what my busmate said "para lang mahabang weekend ang summer". Totoo nga. Hindi ko feel ang pagiging 2nd year high school. Parang freshman pa rin ako, at...dumagdag pa ito, nasa same floor lang kami. kasi ang bwiset na freshmen di kasya sa 4 sections! so sa taas sila, bwiset. at least di na kami ma papagod pag akyat diba? anyway, akala namin na yung c.a. namin, cle ang tinuturo nya, kung magsalita kasi e. Nakalimutan ko kung ano yung ituturo nya. Then...yung pinaka aabangang pag sabi samin kung saang section kami! Bwiset, isa lang kasama ko sa mga kabarkada ko. Hindi ko siya gaanong ka close e. Pero nakakatawa, katabi ko ngayon ang mga naging katabi ko last year! about our t.i.c, okay naman siya! madaldal. Kami nga lang ang maingay e! yung ibang section nakakatulog na! ayyy...may parang announcement daw sa wednesday, sabi ng busmate ko parang " bawal kaming umangal. hindi magbabago ang isip nila" tapos magkakaroon raw ng MAJOR CHANGE! kakatakot...di ko gusto yun. ay! masaya ang buong school ngayon. For 3 days kaming halfday, uuwi kami ng 1pm.

hmmm...sumakit na kamay ko.

;) i think i'll enjoy this school year. especially ang sport namin sa pe ay softballl!! yay!!
