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.

Im so sleepy. Ive just woken up actually. And when I saw my computer... it's connected. Ive been trying to connect since 6pm. And when I saw the duration of the internet connection... God! Ive been connected to the net for nearly 3 hours! 3 damn hours went down the drain! Without my knowing!

Ive needed sleep for the past few days. Sleeping so late into the night... then waking up so damn bloody early! Then there's that fact that Ive been doing so many things... And this week, I was able to sleep during the bus ride going to school without my busmates bothering me. I was too sleepy to notice them. But Id rather have them quiet in the morning. And when you sum them all... Of course! Sino bang hindi magkakaganito?!

*****

See... I really need sleep. Ive been staring at my keyboard for a quite few seconds looking for that asterisk sign! But if I go back to sleep now... my long hard waiting for that connection will all go to waste. Id rather stay online than to waste that waiting..

*****

We will have no classes tomorrow! *shouts YAY* I shall sleep tomorrow... again as I really need sleep.
