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.

im tolerating a rather annoying headache right now. it seemed the simple reason behind this is being in front of the computer for hours after softball practice and having little sleep last night. and to get things worse...i think im gonna have another case of stye...ka bwiset naman talaga... and just before the softball game, too. *groans*

and since ive mentioned it... were going to have a softball 'tournament' or whatever this coming wednesday and friday, 8am. of course, you're invited to come and watch if you want to. its going to be held at the rosario sports arena, pasig. dont expect anything great from me...im still having a hard time fielding groundballs then throwing it to bases. i dont know... but after all this time of playing softball, i cant still do what i just mentioned. i guess its just part of being tense. i cant do it properly especially during the game. and the fact that the pitcher's mound or the ground where i am located is similar to quicksand. okay, ive exaggerated a bit. but still, that worsens my already bad performance. and i dont know, not being properly coached for 2 days took its effect this morning. tabingi ako mag-pitch..and both of us[aj and i] cant reach the damn catcher. it kept on bouncing on homeplate... this tournament is quite too early for us... and since ive been coached on pitching most of the time...i guess i havent been trained properly at the different skills...bummer. and after seeing my teammates bat a while ago...ive been dreading in doing what i mentioned above. kung magbat sila eh, diretso sa pitcher. and most of them are groundballs...how nice. im just hoping that that will change. a game is quite different from drills, isnt it? and to add to the factors that worsens my performance...there is still my grip on the ball. i cant grip it properly because it got sand on it.. and plus the fact that im hastening things...nagmamadali ako...*raises one eyebrow*

hindi ko na kaya ang sakit ng ulo ko... oh, before ending this... ive found another great HP fanfic!!
