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.

Guess what?! Guess what?!



ANG GALING TALAGA NG PINOY SA SEA GAMES!!! *ngiting malaki*

The Philippine Team championed in both men's and women's division in SOFTBALL!! *jumps around* Galing galing talaga nila!! I was able to watch the last match of the Blu Boys vs Indonesia sa Pasig. I swear, ang daming tao since the admission was free! And they lost about 4-5 softballs that were hit towards us. Waha! Inangkin ng mga tao :P How I wish ako rin may souvenir mula sa game na yun.

And there was a time during the 2nd inning, I think, that a small little itsy bitsy whirlwind was swirling around and went towards the dug out of the Indonesian Team. Waha. Foreshadowing ba itu na matatalo sila? eeeeeee! Ang galing ng pitchers ng Blu Boys. Inggit ako. Maririnig mo talaga yung lutong ng pag salo ng catcher sa pitches nila. *himatay sa inggit* And when they batted, hanggang 1st base lang sila mostly nakakaabot dahil sa sobrang bilis ng catching at throwing ng mga fielders. Pero mas mabilis talaga yung pagtatapon ng Blu Boys kesa sa Indonesia. Once a fielder catches a batted ball, they would actually wait for a few seconds before they would throw the ball to the bases at na o-out yung kalaban ha! And halos lahat ng batted ball eh fly ball so na o-out din sila. Pero there were several instances during the game that I didnt understand what happened. ;p

Basta, ang galing talaga! "Ibang iba ang pinooooy!" grabe. Sawang sawa na ako sa kantang yan! Tama bang ipagtugtog yan every once in a while? And I guess yung mga ibang teams din nagsawa na ;p

There was actually something I observed about the crowd that greatly saddens me. Ang KJ nila. Wala silang team spirit! Lol. I mean, mas may unity pa ata ang AA sa pag-checheer tuwing intrams eh. Parang pag may sumigaw ng "Ja-U-Na-I-O-Ra-Sa", lahat ng juniors mag chachant na. Hindi sila nagclaclap. :( Lol. Naapektuhan daw ba.

Haha!

I want their agila mascot stuffed toy!

3-2!
