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.

So yeah...classes wasnt suspended today. damn it. But since it was signal #1 early this morning...my brother didn't have to go to school for the second time!! Hate it. It's sooo unfair. Is the sun appearing behind the clouds a part of signal # 1 of a typhoon?!?! It was not signal # 1 awhile ago well not for us! It was like any other day! The winds are blowing and the sun is shining! No change! Nothing flew, nothing swayed. And in fact I never wore my jacket today! The moment I stepped out of the bus service...hot air met my face...removed the jacket the moment I got inside the classroom.

So okey...I was too preoccupied with finishing book 5 of HP yesterday to study for a quiz in AP. I had the entire afternoon to study still I didnt cared...don't know why. I was not surprised when we checked our papers. I guess I was already expecting a failing mark. Didnt put enough effort to even memorize the book! Well the ones I read and understood didnt came out in the quiz and those I just skipped came out! Didnt mind...didnt cared. *removes the thought of the quiz away*

During recess instead of reviewing for AP we had arm wrestling! My arm ached after that. Well both my arms did ache but the left arm waited till lunch to suffer the consequences of arm wrestling. We were making so much noise that 2 teachers 2 tables away from us made us stop. They actually looked amused at what we were doing. They stared at us for almost 2 minutes grinning! I guess we were the topic of their discussion since they keep on glancing at us. We just laughed it off...again didn't cared. In fact, I enjoyed arm wrestling. Feels like your a kid again...as if im not one.

But the real consequence of that arm wrestling came when we had our swimming class. I was going well with doing freestyle until we did backstrokes. My arm really ached at that moment! I dunno...may be it got a little overstretched or maybe twisted when i swam. Good thing the pain subsided...but still my arms are aching right now.

So there...tomorrow's our first choice for our clubs already! And that's the only thing I look forward to every friday now. All the subjects are fine except one and you know that of course...house meetings. I really don't know the purpose of having and sorting us into houses. The only thing i know that we will do every meeting is to practice for the so called 'activity week' where they will stuff all the activities of the whole school year into that one week only!! I really dont know how will that happen...They are just so weird...And I dont like it.
