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.

God, ala na talagang mas lala sa akin. It's 2 in the morning and I'm still here cramming for our vigil tomo- ...later. We finished shopping at around 5. And i hate shopping especially if a parent, most specifically your mother, is being so persistent in telling you that you have to leave the mall! Damn. Major cramming talaga. I wasn't able to look for anything that good. erm, at least the thought's there? And i spent all my money...*pout*

Anyway, we arrived at 6. Had to go to mass. we attended the subdivision's christmas party. And sadly, it's not the same anymore. 4-5 years ago, it was fun. Everybody's happy. All were bonding with each other. Andaming pamilya tuwing may party sa subdivision. Halos lahat ng pamilya magkakilala. Pag may mga games, game lahat sumali. Nakakalungkot lang. Kanina, walang masyadong 'old-timers' ang pumunta. Hindi na tulad ng dati. Ngayon, sad to say but it's lame and pathetic. I think kaya pumunta yung mga tao doon just for the food. (well, kasama na kami doon pero I had to leave because of coughgiftscough) Before, parang naging tradisyon na namin na isang kuya yung emcee. Now, *gags* its the president of the association who i don't even know! Dati, kilala mo talaga lahat. Nakikisama nga ako dati sa mga meetings nila eh. ;p Before, once a week, may jogging sa umaga then breakfast at syempre buntot kami sa magulang namin.

Nakakalungkot lang talaga. The spirit of Christmas is really declining, isn't it? It's not the same anymore. Once the child finds out that there is no Santa Claus, christmas starts to be not that enjoyable anymore. Once the child matures, magiging KJ na sila. Ayaw na nilang makihalubilo sa mga christmas party, sa mga gathering kasi hindi na sila mga bata. Parang ang saya tuloy ng mga pasko noon, noong mga bata pa tayo. Noong nauuto pa tayo na may Santa Claus at mga reindeer niya. Noong mababaw pa tayo at kahit ano napapangiti tayo. Ngayon, iba na. Parang nagiging bale wala lang yung pasko sa amin eh. Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagkaganon. Pero talagang ganyan talaga siguro yun. Maybe it has been part of some sort of unwritten law na pagtumanda na yung mga bata, hindi na ganon kasaya ang pasko.

Sheesh. anu ba 'yan. Kadramahan ko na naman. Dapat tulog na ako ngayon, pero mukhang nadala ata ako ngayon ;p

Kagabi nga eh. I was reading my old blog entries. my first ones actually. and i was in first year then. nakakatawang basahin kasi ang bababaw pa ng mga sinusulat ko dun. nakakalungkot nga lang...ang bilis talaga dumaan ng panahon. Ilang beses ko na ito nasabi pero lagi kong naaalala yung class encounter namin nung first year. Chinny was our section head back then. She said "Pag-isipan niyo 'to...apat na taon na lang aalis na tayo sa AA..." Kung titingnan niyo nga...ang bilis lumipas ng 2 taon. parang nung panahon na yun, hindi pa namin masyadong binibigyang pansin ang mga bagay na yan. parang sinasabi namin sa sarili namin na first year pa lang kami, matagal pa ang 4 na taon. naaalala ko pa nga dati eh. nagcocomment yung mga tao na hindi pa nila feel na high school sila. may hangover pa sa pagiging grade school.

at ngayon, isa't kalating taon na lang, alis na talaga kami sa AA. nakakadepress talaga.

anu ba yan. dramahan talaga to dah max...
