citius, altius, fortius!

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.

taggity tag!

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.

Before proceeding to any *ahem* tiring and brain-cracking homeworks...I would like to *ahem* blog [that's kinda obvious]

The school is getting weirder by the day. As we all students of AA know...we should assemble at the multi to have our general assembly every first day of the week...and generally we have it during mondays. And today's an exception, since we didnt have school yesterday.. Anyway, all of us were there...the whole school...seated at the floor...waiting noisily for the so-called bell to ring...then all of a sudden we were told that we would have the general assembly in our classrooms. How nice is that?! And the general assembly was somewhat postponed and will have it tomorrow which is a wednesday...Weird...

Started the day hearing the theme song in Snow White..."High Hoe High hoe...its off to work we go" [whatever the spelling is ;p]...and also started the day by making tiny colored paper airplanes. I was actually doing my friend a favor, who by the way doesnt even know how to make paper airplanes...tsk tsk...What has the world become?! Teenagers like myself can't even create a simple origami...a simple airplane made out of paper?! For goodness sakes! That was one of my first learned origami...along with the paper boat/hat of course.

We crammed during lunch...because of the damn quiz in AP in which I got 1 out of ten in the first part and 10 out of 11 in the second part. Thank you 'irog'!!! She was the one who reminded me what were the 11 countries in ASEAN. ;p

So...I guess it will end here. Still need to draw the some of the cultures of the Igbo people...
