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.

I'm dead bored. Period. I have nothing to do here. I tried studying in AP but my eyes just kept on dropping.

Tomorrow's a free day for us. Practice for the intrams this thursday and friday. And I really don't know why I don't bother much about it. I haven't pitched for a long time. I haven't played since I quitted Illam. Now? I don't care anymore.

My shoulder blade is aching because I ironed the hankies (or whatever they're called) which were used during the daily masses. There were around 20 or something. I had nothing to do yesterday. *shrug*

I'm bored. Have I mentioned that I'm damn bored?

Wah. I don't want to have anymore lessons. They bore me. They tire me. They make my head spin around. They make my stomach do cartwheels. Er, maybe not. But still, they do not make me healthy! They are not healthful (waha! I finally used you!) to our strained brains! (Eww...strained? Not proper...)

I'm random. I don't know what to do! Wah.

Let me just try a little creative writing since I am so bored. How bout romance? Let's see...this is from a man's POV...Hindi ako magaling magsulat, kay? Just a reminder :p

There I saw you. Day after day I've prayed to all divine entities known to man. I was desperate, I know. I couldn't help myself. That was the only option I could do. Nothing more. You are miles away from me even though I know you are near. And it pierces my heart to know that you will never be mine. You will just be a beautiful stranger. But just the soft twinkle in your eyes as you laugh is enough for me. Even merely a grateful smile from you would make me wish that time would stop from passing by. Those are enough. But then, I would be slapped in the face and would turn to reality again. The fact that I can never have you.

My heart jumped when you noticed me. I tried to act as casual as I could when you approached. You playfully punched me in greeting. And I smiled weakly in return. I sighed inwardly in relief for you never noticed the sorrow that I knew that was swimming beneath my eyes. You never knew but that punch from you shoved the dagger further inside me. How could anyone know that a simple punch would cause so much pain? But I tried to numb the agonizing ache in my heart.

I know that in pushing what I want, I would push you apart from me. I would never live if that happened. Even if it entails great sacrifice. Even if I would never feel any better. How could I? I am just your best friend. I could be nothing more.
