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.

taggity tag!



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.

hah. in a few days, i'm no longer stuck with expert guides. in a few days, i'll be experiencing a TRUE vacation! a true vacation that i believe i deserve after those long hours of taking down notes after each and every instructor. but come to think of it...it seemed we were the only ones who struggled after every word that came out of our instructors' mouths. di bale. mukhang ayos din naman. at least may marereview ako besides yung mga kay kapaaal na handouts na binibigay nila.

hay naku. hirap din pala ang mag review classes. hindi mo alam kung saan ka kakain! yeah, there's kfc just around the corner. literally. but hell! majority of the class went inside kfc during our first meetings because we had no idea what other food establishments are convenient for us. langya. after 3 days of eating chicken from kfc, it's as if i'm going to throw up if we ate there again. buti na lang andyan ang ever labing tapa king to the rescue. pero langya ule. nakakasawa rin pala ang pilipino cuisine. and not to mention the fact that we have to wait for a long time since everybody decided to discover and eat at tapa king. well, let's not forget to mention that they only have a handful of employees. kaya dears, a word of caution, plan where you're going to eat lunch. dapat affordable plus masarap at hindi ka maghihintay nang mataaagal para sa makakain. tsu. kung desperado talaga ako...kakain ako ng isang sakong squid ball na tinitinda tabi-tabi.

*ngiti* saya noh? at kung expert guides kayo at balak niyong bumili ng gamit para lang doon. make sure na magkakasya yung mga how-many-inches-tall-ba-yun na handouts na binibigay nila sa expandable folder slash clearbook mo. at kung mag matiyatiyaga kayo at mag tatake-down notes din kayo tulad ng ginawa namin, makapal po na notebook nag bilhin niyo. pero kung balak niyo tumunganga sa instructor buong session, wag na lang kayo bumili ng notebook. sayang lang :P

aren't you jealous that we're already finishing while you guys are not yet even starting? *innocent smile* wahi. and guess what? pinapakanta ng mga instructor ang mga late pumasok. *evil grin*

scared?

XD
