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.

Natatawa na lang ako sa sarili ko. Buong linggo nag-aalala ako. Asus, wala palang katuturan ang pag-aalala ko buong linggo! Nagsayang lang pala ako ng panahon sa kaiisip. haha! eh hindi nga ako nakapagreview sa philosophy nang maayos dahil dun. Siguro kahit si God natatawa sakin kagabi. Parang naririnig ko siyang sinasabi ang "Tsk tsk tsk... Kay liit na bagay naloloka ka na. Sige na nga.. Parang hindi ka na mabubuhay ng isa pang araw eh. O ayan! Happy?" :) Opo! Happy talaga ako! Anlabo kong bata. Kahit ang mga posibleng sabihin sa'kin ni God, iniimagine ko pa!

Hay, ang bilis talaga ng panahon. Ilang araw na lang, magsisimula na ang huling sem ko sa pagiging highschool student. Hirap talaga makapaniwala. Pagkatapos nun, college student na ako. Panibagong buhay na naman ang kahaharapin ko. Bagong lugar, bagong tao, bagong guro, bagong sistema na ng pagtuturo. Kakayanin ko kayang mag commute sa bawat araw na may pasok ako? Kakayanin ko kayang makipagsapalaran sa mga magiging guro at kaklase ko sa mga klaseng kukunin ko? Kakayanin ko kaya ang buhay bilang isang college student?

(at magiging iskolar kaya ako ng bayan? Sana talaga...)
