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.

who would have thought that there will come a time that writing continuously in straight english would be a difficult time for me? haha. now's that time. i've been too comfortable with the Filipino language that i've somehow forgotten how to think and write in straight english. *shakes head* oh well, if i continue with being uncomfortable with the only other language that i know, then i should start practicing using it, eh?

*sigh* i just returned from my "anime" days of years ago. we were eating lunch a while ago when i saw a short scene on detective conan on the tube. ha! it brought back the old memories of grade7. anyway, i decided to watch a couple of oavs, i think they were called. and i still can't believe that i haven't lost my ability to shed a few tears because of feeling a wee bit sentimental. oh well *shrugs*, i'm always like that anyway. hah! and funny how watching a few anime oavs have brought me to tears while our graduation from hs was not able to accomplish it at all.

and funny how the weather is acting a bit strange nowadays. its summer now obviously and yet it feels like the start of june. therefore, since it feels like the start of june, it definitely feels like school is nearing again. T.T what a weird analogy, eh? haha! and it brings back a few memories of... never mind.

i've been staring at my keyboard for a long time already since i can't think of anything to write about.. how pathetic. haha! and would you look at how short this entry is compared to others that were written in filipino!

oh, i haven't start cleaning my room yet. yeah yeah, laziness has finally kicked in my system! and i have NO idea when i'll start doing it. i still got my old fourth year books literally piled up across the whole length of my desk.

tsk tsk. now i'm just stating random things. so i guess i'll stop now. yeah, i'm stopping right...now.
