Hello again !

awww... how i missed blogging !

i can't believe the last post i ever put here was way back in 2011 !

( i am deeply sorry, Bloggie. :[ but i'm back now! )

you can't IMAGINE the drastic changes i had in the mere span of who-knows-how-many months ! it just so happens that when you EXPECT LESS, MORE will you receive. :') maybe i got MUCH MORE than i ever expected to have in this crappy life of mine.

SOOOO, i got a new boyfriend and best friend, lost my prior group of friends and earned new enemies, a new perception in life - a new personality, something more genuine, the truest of self i have never known before.

i wandered through my oldest posts here and i couldn't help but let out a laugh. reading them kinda made me nostalgic about my life before as a college freshman. 

hmmm... its just a pity how i have no time for my old hobbies now. writing poems and songs, playing badminton and playstation with my other bestfriend, or pigging out like ther's no tomorrow. even blogging can't be squeezed in my schedule. sigh.

meh. maybe i can simplify everything out when the time's right. :)

bye for now. ♥

 

 

Desiderata (English & Tagalog version) ♥

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.

Humayo nang panatag
Sa gitna ng ingay at pagmamadali, at tandaang
May kapayapaang matatagpuan sa katahimikan.
Hangga't
 maaari nang walang pagsuko,
Makipagkapwa- tao.
Bigkasin ang iyong katotohanan nang mahinahon at
Malinaw,
 at makinig sa iba, kahit sa mapurol o 
mangmang:
Sila ma'y may kanilang salaysayin.  

Iwasan ang mga 
taong maingay at magaspang; sila'y
Nakakarindi sa diwa.
Kung 
ihahambing mo ang sarili sa iba, maaaring
Maging hambog at masamain 
ang loob pagka't
Laging may hihigit sa iyo at may hihigtan ka.
Masiyahan
 ka sa iyong mga natamo, gayundin sa iyong mga balak.
Manatiling buhos ang iyong kalooban sa mga gawain,
 gaano man kababa; 

tunay itong kayamanan sa nagbabagong panahon.
Maging
 maingat sa pakikipagkalakalan pagka't ang mundo'y
Batbat ng 
panlilinlang. Subalit huwag hayaang
Makabulag iyon sa anumang 
kabutihang mayroon; maraming
Nagpupunyagi para sa mga adhikaing 
dakila; at sa lahat ng dako,

Ang buhay ay 
lipos ng kabayahinan.
Huwag magkunwari lalo na ng pagmamahal.
Huwag
 ding tatalikuran ang pag-ibig, pagka't sa gitna ng
Katigangan at 
kalungkutan, kailanma'y uusbong
At nabubuhay itong tulad ng damo.
Maluwag
 na tanggapin ang payo ng katandaan; banayad
Na isuko ang mga bagay 
ng kamusmusan.
Arugain ang tibay ng loob 

 na sasalag sa mga biglaang
Sakuna. Ngunit huwag panlulumo sa mga 
guni-guni.
Maraming takot ang dulot ng pagod at kalungkutan.
Sa kabila ng malusog na disiplina,

maging mabait sa 
iyong sarili.
Anak ka 
ng sanlibutan , 

tulad ng mga punungkahoy at bituin;
May lugar ka rito. 

At malinaw man sa iyo o hindi,
Walang alinlangang bumubukadkad ang daigdig ayon 
sa nararapat
Kaya maging panatag ka sa Diyos, anuman ang 
pagkakakilala mo sa kanya,
At anuman ang iyong mga gawain at mithiin,
 sa maingay na
Kalituhan ng buhay, panatilihin mong panatag ang iyong
 kalooban.
Sa kabila ng panlilinlang, kawalang-buhay at mga 
gumuguhong pangarap,
Maganda pa rin ang mundo.
Mag-ingat. Magsikap lumigaya. 

(those enlarged phrases are what i EXACTLY

need to work on. XD

and if it matters, the Tagalog version's cooler.

NO BIASES INCLUDED. :3 )
