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.

I enjoyed this year's intrams. Yeap. Even though we didn't win the championship. Frankly speaking, I would not be able to pitch anymore if we won our last game against the seniors. My legs were aching so much that I could not walk properly. Paano pa kaya kung nanalo kami sa seniors tapos kailangan naming talunin ang sophies ng dalawang beses?! Wah. Mamamatay siguro ako sa sobrang sakit ng katawan.

During our last game against the seniors, I really could not help but smile at how great my team mates improved in a short span of time. In the end, I didn't care anymore if we lost. At least we gained something. At least I knew what was troubling my pitching. ;p

I could tell that it was partially my fault. I know I can pitch strikes...er...that was before, about 2 months ago. The pressure on the pitcher is just so big. Nakaka overwhelm lang talaga. I have read before in a book that the pitcher controls the game. Darn it. Yun lang ayaw ko sa pagiging pitcher eh. Ang hirap magkamali. Pero mukhang sanay na ata ako sa pagkakaroon ng maraming mali eh :p

Pero masaya talaga. Can you believe that mariejo was even singing a praise song and a children's song just to lift my spirits while we were on the field? *smiles* Somehow, hearing those songs did calm me. Nakakatuwa.

Yesterday, MsVikai approached to tell us something about our chance to win the championship.

ako: baka hindi po namin kaya..

She suddenly hugged me and told me that "kaya niyo yan ano"

ako: Kung nanalo po kami, bigyan niyo kami ng lollipop ha?
MsVikai: O sige! Mananalo kayo ano!
ako: Eh kung hindi po? May lollipop pa rin po ha? Para naman malift ang spirits namin kahit papano!
MsVikai: Sige! Kahit hindi kayo manalo may lollipop pa rin kayo sa akin!
ako: *smiles*

And she did give us lollipops afterwards. *smiles*
