napapanatag

kanino ba napapanatag ang loob ko?

sa loob ng limampu't limang delubyo
naririto pa rin ako't naghihintay
ng milagro.

June 2000, 925pm: i heard them play Butterfly Carnival for the Freshman Orientation Program, at the UP Engineering steps for the first time. Ansaya-saya! first concert, favorite band.

Cheers to the great sound of diego castillo, raimund marasigan, myrene academia et al.


i love you guys! rock on.

love

is like a a roller coaster ride; full of intoxicating emotions that makes you end up losing in the long run. it's better to just let it go.

let your life flow

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.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

love is patient;
love is kind;
love is not envious
or boastful
or arrogant or rude.
it does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice in wrongdoing,
bu rejoices in the truth.
it bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.

isang taon na ang nakalilipas
magmula nang ikaw ay huling nakita
sa mundong maligalig

alala ko pa nuon,
freshmen tayo
kasunod kita sa pila sa stfap opis

ka-apilyedo mo kasi ang kaibigan ko

kapagka-gabi
nakakasalubong pa kita
sa mga mapag-iwing pasilyo ng kalai
misteryo, tahimik ka lang

kalayaan para sa'yo
ang aking hangad
