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.

Quote of the Day:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fireburn and cauldron bubble.

(Macbeth 4.1)

Waha.. Dont mind me. I just wanted a quote for the day! Even though i just started it now... maybe this is the first and last time you'll see me doing something like that... maybe next time you'll see me posting 'Hunk of the day' or something...*evil smirk* Just joking... I will not post something like that, mind you! You'll see that when hell goes dead cold! or if...somebody hacks into this account...hehe...weird.

The day i was able to finish the oh-so-boring Jane Eyre...I was able to read Macbeth afterwards.. I was able to understand it... first time actually. Ngayon lang ako nakaintindi ng Shakespeare ng sobrang isahan lang...I mean on the first read. Oddly enough, I was amused by reading the damn thing. Yep. I was amused. Who wouldnt be? Macbeth here kept on killing people just to be kept king...and that was because of the stupid weird witches' prophecy...and in the end he himself was killed. Ha...nice? Definitely. I guess that was one of the most easy Shakespeare Ive read.

And Im in chapter 4 of Noli Me Tangere... And im thankful, again, since Noli is not...I repeat...is not Balagtas-ish[new word] *smirk*... Hindi siya makata!!! Bwahahahaha! Finalllly! Dont mind me... All my fellow juniors would somehow feel the same way after reading the first line of the novel. But...300+ pages is not what I would consider something to be thankful for!! But still...

Softball! Im again into my softball madness...*faints*

13 days till the start of the SY...and i havent bought my school supplies...damn it
