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.

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.

Damn. I feel sick...well I'm actually sick. I think I got the virus from a busmate who's absent today because of it. I would rather have a fever than this...colds and cough...with a dash of body aches from over aerobics. Now, I don't know if I would be able to attend our practice tomorrow for PE. And my illness might get worse if I tire my body to its limits. And the fact that our leader's house where the meeting will take place is so far from our place. I'll quote my mom..."Andun na yun sa kabilang bundok e!" *sabay turo sa mga bundok* I know I may sound cheesy... But I don't want to add to my mom's burdens as of the moment. I don't want anything to happen to her on her way back to our house especially if she's alone and if she's driving in a place unfamilar. Ayokong maging pasakit. So I guess, I won't be able to attend the practice after all..

*****

Yeah! 1 test done...and many moooore to goo! Damn! All throughout the night yesterday.. I just buried my face in my AP book! And...and...Damn! I started at around 7pm...and guess what? I ended my studying at 1am!! Ito rin siguro ang nagpalala ng sakit ko ngayon!

*****

Damn! Our christmas break is just around the corner... And I still dont have any gifts to give! I was planning on making it personally... I have been planning that since before the sembreak. And now, I can't find the motivation to continue this! Para tuloy nagiging isang pasakit na ito... Ayoko na tuloy ituloy 'to...

*****

We continued watching Amistad in English even though our teacher's not around. Anyway, I can't believe that they were able to do that to the african slaves before! And if I know, the movie is just half of the reality of the tortures the Africans have to undergo before... Damn this racial discrimination!! And I can't believe that there are legal slaves?? Damn...

Mga lintek talaga ang mga yun! Kumukuha sila ng mga african slaves na parang nagnanakaw lang ng mansanas sa palengke! Tapos ibebenta sila para sa pagkain at pera?! Ala na talagang mas sasama sa kanila! Tapos kung hindi sapat ang pagkain sa barko maghuhulog na lang sila ng mga pabigat na nakakabit sa mga buhay na alipin na iniisip nila na hindi na rin gaanong "makakatulong" sa kanila. Tapos ang pagkain lang nila ay isang sandok ng mababang uri ng lugaw?! at maaaring pinapakain lang sila nang isang beses sa isang linggo. At hindi pa lahat pinapakain! At ang mga may sakit hindi rin pinapakain! Napakalala talaga...

So gory...morbid...and utterly devastating...

*****

Enough of this depressing matter.

And during English a while ago... Before we were dismissed...We need to pray of course... We were praying..."Glory be" I think... Basta ang mga dasal 2 part siya diba? After niyang sabihin ang 1st part...edi kami naman ang tutuloy ng last part...bigla ba namang nag-AMEN...di pa nga kami nagsisimula....Shet! We can't possibly laugh during the prayer! Pinipigil lang talaga namin na huwag tumawa...

And Ive heard from the other section that our teacher in filipino is getting a little bit forgetful nowadays...Nagqui-quiz kasi sila...So before every question she would announce the number of the question. Pambihira naman toh talaga oh..

MsL: Oh number 1... number 2... number 3... number 4... number 5... number 6... number 1.[period to ha]

Class: Missss! Nasa number 7 na po tayo!!

MsL: Ganun ba? ... number 1.

Class: Misss! Number 7!!

Dami pang mga kabaliwan tong titser na to...*shakes head*
