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.

Damn. Ive used up the whole weekend just for stupid school projects. And I havent even finished all of them! And guess what? I slept late yesterday which was a saturday just to make more progress in my AP project...I guess it took me about 1 whole day not including breaks and naps, mind you. At least Ive finished that and only 1 more to go. ONLY 1 MORE. And I don't know where to look for stupid philippine medicinal plants and their curing chemical whatever.

God, I can't even imagine how I could live with all these projects and tests if I didnt back out from illam. So I guess there is a positive side to backing out after all. At least I can say that it is a good decision...I just hope so.

We had our recollection last friday. There were times that are boring, I agree but meaningful at the same time. The only thing I did not like about the recollection was confessing second to the last at 12 midnight...darn. And plus the fact that I was not able to get a good night's sleep due to insomia. And with my imagination running wild plus the howling of the heavy rains...who could actually sleep? Hay naku. Kaya ayan! Pagdating sa bahay nakatulog ako ng mga 4 na oras. How nice, eh?

*sigh* I guess that recollection is the only one I will remember. I can't actually remember my first and second years' reco. Ang saya ng pakiramdam. Nakakatuwa nga eh. Yung mga tipo ng tao na hindi mo akalaing mag aaffirm sayo eh nagsalita. Masaya... meaningful talaga.

...

CHEM?! O.o Paano ka na?!
