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.

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.

Nalulungkot ako ngayon. Dating-dati ko pa ito naiisip, actually. Pero mukhang ngayon na talaga magkakatotoo ang ayaw kong mangyari. Alam niyo naman siguro kung gaano ko kamahal maglaro ng softball. Pitong taon na ako naglalaro nito. Kahit na ba sabihin ko na nung mga unang taon ko dito eh hindi ko naman naseseryoso at di ako marunong nito, napamahal na sakin ito. Lagi ko ngang naaalala sinabi sakin ni coach.lia. Nalaman kasi nila na hindi ako tutuloy sa varsity sa upd. "Alam kong naging buhay mo yang softball. Kaya mo yun ano!" sabi niya. Pati si coach.es nanghihinayang. Halata naman sa reaction nila.

Ewan ko ba. Hindi ko alam kung nagpapakatanga ako dito sa naging desisyon ko. Nakakalungkot lang talaga. Bukas na kasi huling araw namin sa softbelles. Sinong hindi malulungkot diba? Lalung-lalo na kung alam niyang hindi na siya magkakaroon ng ibang pagkakataong makapaglaro ng softball uli. Mas lalo nga akong nalungkot nung sinabihan ako ni coach.es tungkol sa pukol ko. "Next time, wag kang matakot sa mga batter ha? Humihina pukol mo eh." Sabi ko sa sarili ko, wala nang next time eh. Wah. Ang babaw ko ba? Masyado ba akong madrama?

Hay...Mamimiss ko talagang maglaro ng softball. :(
