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.

Actually, ive been writing blog entries since the start of june...3 i think. i just cant post them properly due to some annoying internet problems. i think ive gotten a virus from the unknown world wide web that causes my net connection to be a freaking 2.4!! Fortunately for me, we have no classes since our teachers are going on a field trip! haha...you read that right... they're going on a field trip to the la mesa dam eco park! *shakes head* tapos sabi nila last year na ala nang mga field trip due to austerity measures...;p

technically, first week of classes have gone by and i was able to survive the damn thing! we've got a lot of new teachers... and i cant say i like all of them. since it was their first time of teaching..para bang masyado silang stricto when it comes to our subjects' requirements. and the regular ones that was new to us...well some of them are scary. really intimidating.

Most of them have given us a lot of hws already...and all those index cards that are needed to be passed. fortunately, i didnt cram due to the fact that ive forced myself to lose interest in what ive been watching over the summer. the only problem i think i'll be having this year is the stupid freaking internet connection. especially since most of our teachers are quite into research work. good luck to me...i'll definitely need it.

Nagiging fast-paced na nga ang school ngayon. kung dati'y halfday kami nung unang 3 araw, ngayon ay whole day na kami. kung dati ang scaa orientation ay tuwing biyernes ng club time ng first week, ngayon 2nd day na ng pasukan. masyado na silang nagmamadali. pero masaya naman eh. since this week ay unang choice ng clubs namin. hindi ko nga alam kung para saan pa yan...i mean yung mga 2 choices eh softball club lang naman ang sasalihan ko. lagi naman eh. of course except nung 1st year...na hindi ko talaga makalimutan at pinagsisihan ko. may mass nga kami this thurs eh. at ngayon ko lang naalala na may induction of officers kami. induction ba yung term na yun? ewan. kung ano man yun...yun yun. ;p nga pala.. ako'y naboto bilang treasurer ng aming klase...nakakatuwa? hindi. ;p ayoko ngang madagdagan ng mga bagong responsibilidad lalo na't third year na kami. Ibig sabihin...ako'y maghahabol ng mga tao kapag sila'y nagmatigas at makakalimutin. at baka mag varsity din ako. pero hindi ko alam kung gusto ko talaga. magkakaroon na kami ng mga weekly training after classes at maaaring hindi rin kami magkaroon ng mga labanan...katulad nung isang taon. at saka...sasabayan nito ang training ko sa UP...kahit na isang beses palang kami nakakapagtrain at ayokong ayokong mawala ito.

sa totoo lang.. dapat nasa UP ako ngayon. pero nagkaroon ng emergency meeting sila coach at syempre hindi naman niya ko pwedeng i-train diba? kaya ito, andito lang ako sa bahay. alang magawa.
