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.

Quite a long time since i blogged here... just didnt feel like it... this week had been quite hectic for me.. cant anymore find the time to just relax and do nothing at all! heck, i wont find time at all all! this will continue till the middle of may!! damn...

softball? what can i say? its been alright i guess... didnt make any friends during the first days...well im just starting after all... i didnt expect them to talk to me, either. but i had some sort of hunch that some of them have been my classmates before in spcp... and their faces were quite familiar..ha! and i was damned right! some of them are really my batchmates before! who would actually remember some one like me in a batch of around 400 students?! damn right you read that correctly... its twice the students in aa...so its actually hard to remember them all... and they were alright... i guess[again]... they werent what you might say...suplada...heh! theyre fun to be with actually! quite jolly and carefree... and some of them are intimidating! damn it... nagmumukha tuloy akong baguhan sa softball! i cant do what the coach is telling me... hindi ako sanay! damn it... lol... even though they were teaching us basics... i do really need to improve on that... especially my catching and throwing... and when the coaches are demonstrating the drills... all i can do was gape at them! ang bibilis ng bola at diretsong diretso sa glove! naging idol ko na tuloy sila! i guess i wont regret joining this after all...

the only problem with this training is i guess... being punctual... ive been late twice already... since we had no idea how in the world were going to get there on time! armed with a map... were ready to go! lol...then fridays are really a big problem since color-coded ang kotse namin... we had to commute...taxi actually... and can you believe i was the only one there afterwards since my mom was super late in fetching me... well, it was our report card day...so... lets not get into my grades for now okay? i guess.. im happy with my decision... im not regretting it...

'kay...about my grades? i was actually surprised to see that all of my final grades are line of 9! even that damn bio in which i got an 86 in the 3rd qt received a 90 in average! in looking at all grades ive receive...i can only see 3 line of 8s..cle, filipino and biology.. now, how in the world did i get an 88 in cle for the 4th QT?? *shrugs* maybe because of my lack in recitation hm? we were actually given a lot of chances to recite and not even once did i recite... something deep inside me were pushing me to do so...but no... i didnt do it...;p too coward, i guess... you can say that im actually satisfied with my grades this year...even though i had regrets about that bio issue... grrr...oh well... 'twas my fault anyway...isnt it? for not passing my lab notebook? i guess so... this one's better than last year's...and the previous years for that matter... let me post it...

Anyway, i was able to read 2 books just this week... and im halfway through another one... and all three of them are by Nicholas Sparks... The Rescue, A Bend in the Road and The Guardian... i was able to finish the first two while waiting for my mom after each training inside the store... and i admit...they are one of the best novels ive read so far... and i havent even read the oh-so famous novel, 'The Notebook', others have been crazy about... they were so simple yet you have this tendency to finish it all the way! im actually recommending it! ha! it was quite hilarious that ive been trying to hide the tears that were forming from my mom... bleh! stupid law of gravity...
im so lazy lately... and my room's starting to get crowded! and you can say... a disaster... i cant force myself in cleaning and fixing my room... i just cant find the time... [ and you reply... "cant find the time raw...eh bakit ka naka blog ngayon?!"] haha! excuses...bleh!
