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.

Kahapon, nagbisikleta ako pauwi mula sa training namin sa arnis. Malapit nang gumabi nun. Pagdating ko sa gate, pinagbuksan ako ng kapatid ko at pinasok niya ang bisikleta. Binati ako ni corbin at sa sobrang tuwa niya, tumakbo siya palabas. May dumadaan kaya nilapitan niya, pinapaalis ko siya at iniwanan naman ni corbin yung tao. Tumakbo siya palayo papunta sa mga damuhan. Biglang may dumaan na tricycle. Nagkasalubong sila. Sakit sa puso nung narinig ko iyak niya. :( Grabe, sinigawan ko talaga yung tricycle driver. Pinipigilan ko talaga sarili ko na murahin siya. Pagpasok ko ng gate, narinig ko nanay ko sabi niya duguan daw siya!! Sobrang kumirot puso ko. Ngayon lang kasi nangyari ito. Makita mo ba naman inaalagaan mong aso nasa ilalim na ng tumatakbong tricycle. :( Pinagdarasal ko talaga na sana hindi malala ang kalagayan niya. Nakita ko siya sa may tabi ng sofa namin. Duguan yung nguso. Umupo ako at tinawag ko siya. Lumapit siya sakin kagad. Buti na lang alam niya na hindi ko siya sasaktan. Hinahanap ko sa nguso niya kung saan nagmula yung dugo. Sa may ilong pala. Nagpakuha ako kaagad ng tissue at ice.

Halatang na-trauma si corbin sa nangyari. Nakahiga lang siya at tinatago ulo niya. Buti na lang at hindi siya napilayan. Grabe, kakagaling ko lang ng training sa arnis, tas biglang humarap sakin ang ganitong pangyayari. Naging duguan din kamay ko. Pero wala akong pakialam. Nawalan ako ng ganang kumain. Pero kumain pa rin ako kahit katiting lang. Gumawa akong ng pagkain nila. Kahit siya, nawalan din ng gana. Hindi ko maiwanan si corbin sa labas. Pinasok ko talaga siya sa bahay para mabantayan ko at dun siya muna matulog. Ayaw ko talagang mangyari ito uli. Sakit sa puso eh. Hindi ko pa rin mawala sa isipan ko yung nangyari kagabi. Pero nagpapasalamat ako at maayos na siya ngayon... :)

Grabe, nakakatakot talaga ang mga lola magalit. Malutong sila magmura! X_X At wala kang magagawa kasi kapag pinatulan mo, mas lalong magagalit sayo!

IMO, simply accepting and letting go is the easiest way for your heart to cope with certain changes that you can never control. Holding on will only hurt you more. And it will leave you with many sleepless nights while the person you're thinking of is not feeling bothered at all. :)
