My delight and thy delight
by Robert Bridges

My delight and thy delight
Walking, like two angels white,
In the gardens of the night:

My desire and thy desire
Twinning to a tongue of fire,
Leaping live, and laughing higher;
Thro' the everlasting strife
In the mystery of life.

Love, from whom the world begun,
Hath the secret of the sun.

Love can tell and love alone,
Whence the million stars are strewn,
Why each atom knows its own,
How, in spite of woe and death,
Gay is life, and sweet is breath:

This he taught us, this we knew,
Happy in his science true,
Hand in hand as we stood
'Neath the shadows of the wood,
Heart to heart as we lay
In the dawning of the day.

I am shut out of mine own heart
by Christopher Brennan

I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me,
nor in the wonders have I part
that fill its hidden empery:

The wildwood of adventurous thought
and lands of dawn my dream had won,
the riches out of Faery brought
are buried with our bridal sun.

And I am in a narrow place,
and all its little streets are cold,
because the absence of her face
has robb'd the sullen air of gold.

My home is in a broader day:
at times I catch it glistening
thro' the dull gate, a flower'd play
and odour of undying spring:

The long days that I lived alone,
sweet madness of the springs I miss'd,
are shed beyond, and thro' them blown
clear laughter, and my lips are kiss'd:

And here, from mine own joy apart,
I wait the turning of the key: -
I am shut out of mine own heart
because my love is far from me

Wouldn't it Be Nice?
performed by Beach Boys

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

Good night my baby
Sleep tight my baby

The Cloud
by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers,
From the seas and the streams;
I bear light shade for the leaves when laid
In their noonday dreams.
From my wings are shaken the dews that waken
The sweet buds every one,
When rocked to rest on their mother's breast,
As she dances about the sun.
I wield the flail of the lashing hail,
And whiten the green plains under,
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder.

I sift the snow on the mountains below,
And their great pines groan aghast;
And all the night 'tis my pillow white,
While I sleep in the arms of the blast.
Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers,
Lightning, my pilot, sits;
In a cavern under is fettered the thunder,
It struggles and howls at fits;

Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion,
This pilot is guiding me,
Lured by the love of the genii that move
In the depths of the purple sea;
Over the rills, and the crags, and the hills,
Over the lakes and the plains,
Wherever he dream, under mountain or stream,
The Spirit he loves remains;
And I all the while bask in Heaven's blue smile,
Whilst he is dissolving in rains.

The sanguine Sunrise, with his meteor eyes,
And his burning plumes outspread,
Leaps on the back of my sailing rack,
When the morning star shines dead;
As on the jag of a mountain crag,
Which an earthquake rocks and swings,
An eagle alit one moment may sit
In the light of its golden wings.
And when Sunset may breathe, from the lit sea beneath,
Its ardors of rest and of love,

And the crimson pall of eve may fall
From the depth of Heaven above,
With wings folded I rest, on mine aery nest,
As still as a brooding dove.
That orbed maiden with white fire laden,
Whom mortals call the Moon,
Glides glimmering o'er my fleece-like floor,
By the midnight breezes strewn;
And wherever the beat of her unseen feet,
Which only the angels hear,
May have broken the woof of my tent's thin roof,
The stars peep behind her and peer;
And I laugh to see them whirl and flee,
Like a swarm of golden bees,
When I widen the rent in my wind-built tent,
Till the calm rivers, lakes, and seas,
Like strips of the sky fallen through me on high,
Are each paved with the moon and these.

I bind the Sun's throne with a burning zone,
And the Moon's with a girdle of pearl;
The volcanoes are dim, and the stars reel and swim
When the whirlwinds my banner unfurl.
From cape to cape, with a bridge-like shape,
Over a torrent sea,
Sunbeam-proof, I hang like a roof,--
The mountains its columns be.
The triumphal arch through which I march
With hurricane, fire, and snow,
When the Powers of the air are chained to my chair,
Is the million-colored bow;
The sphere-fire above its soft colors wove,
While the moist Earth was laughing below.

I am the daughter of Earth and Water,
And the nursling of the Sky;
I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores;
I change, but I cannot die.
For after the rain when with never a stain
The pavilion of Heaven is bare,
And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams
Build up the blue dome of air,
I silently laugh at my own cenotaph,
And out of the caverns of rain,
Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb,
I arise and unbuild it again.

Simula nang makuha ko ang aking report card, dumagsa ang mga malulubhang pangyayari. Ang pinakaunang nangyaring masaklap sa kin ay nang aking masulyapan ang mga marakang aking ginawa[o di kaya'y hinulaan ng aking titser. haha. joke!] noong nakaraang quarter. Tanging CAE lamang ang bumaba ngunit ang iba'y tumaas ng 1-3 puntos at yung iba nama'y ganun pa rin. Pero nagpapasalamat at ako ng lubusan dahil tinaas ako ng 3 puntos sa filipino. Maraming salamat po! :) Dalawang quarter ko yun inintay! Hay! Buong akala ko'y bababa lahat ng aking grado mas lalo na sa geom. Hindi pala! haha. Yey! MABUHAY!
Ang pangalawa'y naman ay naloko ako kagabi! Grabe! Nung nalaman ko ang totoo, parang bumagsak sa aking dibdib at balikat ang buong mundo[pati na rin ang mga problema ng mga tao ngayon]. Parang nahulog ang puso ko nun at hindi ko mapulot. Hindi ko malaman kung anong gagawin ko. Parang naglaho ang mundo at ako'y nadala sa ibang dimensyon kasama ang aking kompyuter na nasa harap ko. Ayoko itigil ang pag-uusap ko kay jen sa ym. Ayoko nang walang kausap na kaibigan sa iskul. Ayoko umalis sa pagkakaupo ko nun. Hindi ko maigalaw ang aking mga paa at tumindig para tanggalin ang kabigatan sa aking puso. Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ang naidulot sa aking pinsala ng taong iyon. Bakit naman niya ginagawa ang ganoong bagay? Bakit hindi na lamang siya gumawa ng isang mabuting paraan upang makuha ang kanyang gusto? Mangmang ba siya? O sadyang wala lang puso at gustong damayin ang ibang tao upang lumigaya ang kanyang buhay? Siguro sadyang manhid lamang ang taong yun. Walang puso. Walang awa. Walang malasakit sa kapwa tao. Walang takot sa Maykapal.
Bago ako matulog, ako'y humingi ng tulong sa Panginoon upang malabanan ko ang paghihinayang ko sa nangyari sa akin nung gabing yun. At lubos akong nagpapasalamat na paggising ko sa umaga'y nabawasan ang aking sama ng loob. At nagpapasalamat din ako kay Audi sa pakikinig sa aking masaklap na naranasan kagabi. Pati na rin kay Nika na nakinig sa akin at pinatawa ako. :) Salamat! :) Salamat din kay jen! :)
Ikatlo, idineklara kaninang CAE na postponed ang palihan. At ibig sabihin niyan....MAY PASOK! AYOKO!!!!!!!!! HUHUHUHU
At ibig sabihin din niyan na magrereport na kami! Kainis! GRRRRR. Rawr. :(
Ngunit sa kabila nang lahat ng nangyari sa akin sa nakaraang mahigit 1 araw, marami akong natutunan.

Huwag magpadala masyado sa mga kailangan ng mga tao kahit ka-close mo yun. Gawin mo lamang ito kapag hindi niya sinabi sa'yo ang kanyang problema gamit ang kanyang boses.
Huwag kalimutan ang mga nakaraang pangyayari sa ibang tao. Baka iya'y magamit mo rin para maprotektahan mo ang sarili mo at maiwasan ang anumang panghihinayang.
Siyasatin mabuti kung bakit kailangan nung taong yun ang isang bagay na hinihingi sa'yo.

Ciao!

**Itong entry na ito ay nasa tagalog na bersyon dahil tumaas ng 3 puntos ang aking marka sa filipino. :)

What is your Perfect Major? (PLEASE RATE ME!!<3)
created with QuizFarm.com

Sadly, I won't be taking arts as my major so just forget it! I'll just make it a minor one. I'm gonna take either nursing or maybe business. Actually, I am so confused. I can't choose between these 2 courses. I so want to study at UP but I'm not gonna study there if I'll be applying in nursing. If I choose Nursing, I'm gonna be thrown to UST. The only advantage of being at UST is that I can just walk from here up to UST which can be a really big help in my college years knowing that I haven't mastered the art of commuting. The only vehicle I can ride all by myself is a tricycle. I'm so confused!!!!! I wanna go to UP!!! But I prefer Nursing because right after I graduate, I can easily get a job and after I have experience, I can easily get a job all around the world most especially at Europe and America. But I don't really want to be a nurse. I'm not that into med. WAAAAH! bahala na!

I started this day by waking up late. I had a very deep sleep that caused me to sleep till 5 which is for me, already late because I'm fetched here around 6 am so I just have somewhat 1 hour just to take a bath, aet breakfast, brush my teeth and change to my school outfit. I once did all these things for just 45 mins. I myself can't believe I can do that. Amazing.
So we had our second to the last palihan today. We had the chance to visit for the last time SAGADA-AIB. I was quite sad to the fact that I'll be no longer visiting that community with iii3. But we'll never know. Maybe someday, when we are already graduated hs, we could visit it once again. I hope so! :)
So, the whole dorm2 crew [with some from dorm1] rode S6 with Mrs. B. It was a bit hot in the service because we we're like suman there. We all gained weight during the break I guess. Just kidding. So upon arriving there, we started to go to houses. Nona and I went to a new house. I forgot the name of the mother we met. She's just 28 y/o. From 8am pass to 10 am, we just sat there and talked about each other's life which I find very amusing. I discovered a lot from her and also from Nona and myself. She's a lot like us who likes boys and consider them to be the rootcause of chaos in co-ed classes.
I did not had the chance to taste the pizza slice bread. Kainis!
Tas yun, I saw Ara!!!! Weeee! I stayed with her in their classroom! :) hih. She wore this blue spongebob spag dress. hehe. SHe's a totally cute child. :) I love her! I'll miss you, Ara!
We also played simsonsamson and bahay kubo along the streets. Saya! ahha. I miss playing those games. Hay.
After visiting the community, we head back to STC. We answered the guide qs and then copy the long prayer.
BTW, I used my DIY bag. hihi. Yey! First time! Snaps for me!
After lunch, we went to IMC to view some ppt presentations. Muntik na ngang hindi ma-present yung sa iii3 eh. We thought the file was corrupt. Hindi pala! Whew! Oh, we played this ice breaker. It's a racing game. You'll pass the newspaper by not holding it but just letting it fall onto your hands and balance. If ever the newspaper fall, then the race of your team will start again. The first half, iii3 was the one who went first but iii4 won. Well, that's life! :)
And then, Mrs. Valencia gave a brief guidelines for our trip to Manila Zoo on Friday. And then, we went to our classroom and Mrs. B assigned buddy numbers. #19 kami nina Nona, Pat and me. :)
And then, DISMISSAL naaa! :)
Ciao!

Nika just left. She was fetched here.
Tomorrow, palihan again. We'll gonna visit for the last time SAGADA-AIB. I'm gonna miss that place! And the people, too! They were all so nice to us whenever we visit them. And I thank them for letting us visit them and experience happiness with them.
I'm the one who'll prepare the chopped maling and the grated cheese which I haven't even started to do yet. Well, I still have maybe 2 hours to do it. And oh, I haven't even started doing my rel hw. The picture chuva. I was freaking scared last rel period because I forgot to bring a picture of the people I love. Darn it! God saw my fear so He decided to move the deadline of the work to tomorrow morning. Thank You very much! :)
English was ok. Except that our group didn't report well our thoughts. We misunderstood Mrs B.
There wer some misfortunes that happened this day to us, iii3. I won't say it here. It just makes me mad. More mad at him. Rawr. He's sooo...I don't want to even continue this sentence.
I had just fixed my cbox. It's not 2-colored anymore! Yey! hehe.
BTW, I already saw the VCD of the fam day. Well, it was okay naman. My goosebumps came out as I watched my class dance their hearts out.
I'm gonna burn the VCD. Ciao!

Don't judge the book by its beginning. That's what I learned as I proceed to the 2nd chapter of Maganda pa Ang Daigdig. The first chapter was a little bit d-u-h. Boring. And then, there came the 2nd chapter. My enthusiasm sprout out as I began the 2nd chapter. Salamat naman at gaganahan ako sa pagbasa ng librong toh. And I wish, sana mamukhaan ni Lino si Ms. Sanchez. haha. How I wish!
Anyway, we had no tests this day. Yay! So great! We had our music. Our teacher got mad because of our procrastination in preparing for our shadow play. And then, PE. The 2st pd was allotted for practice. I had entirely lost my skills in volleyball. I can't make the ball go to the other side of the court. I can't hit the ball to the next person or to the opponent. And I still remember that i did well naman when I was in gr6. So I learned my lesson. Practice enhance your skills that will make it purely perfect. Just look at me. I didn't took some time to practice my volleyball every week so I ended up having no volleyball skills at all. And that will ruin my PE grade. Oh please, don't. I need my grades to be high. I mean higher. Higher! Higher!
Speaking of grades. The giving of cards would be on Jan25. Here comes the hell day. Please, let my father see good grades. High grades. But I believe I did not do well in my 3rd qtr. I flunked it. All I want is that my grades would be all line of 8 and 9[sana!]. I don't want a line of 7. Ayoko! Kaya nga I try my best to do well in exams. Yung pinoy talaga! Ms. Noval don't know me. Wah! Sana 80 pa rin ako dun or it's much better if it will be 80+. :) haha.
And then, we had this "Intellectual Discussion" in English. I like the concept of the discussion. :)
So I've gotta return to the real world.
Ciao, my blogger!

* MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWER *
By: Cheryl Costello-Forshey

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read
Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree.
Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown,
For the world was intent on dragging me down.
And if that weren't enough to ruin my day,
A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play.
He stood right before me with his head tilted down
And said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight,
With it's petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light.
Wanting him to take his dead flower and got off to play,
I faked a small smile and then shifted away.
But instead of retreating he sat next to my side
And placed the flower to his nose
And declared with overacted surprise,
"It sure smells pretty and it's beautiful, too.
That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."
The weed before me was dying and almost dead.
Not vibrant of colors; orange, yellow or red.
But I knew I must take it or he might never leave.
So I reached for the flower and replied just what I need."
But instead of him placing the flower in my hand,
He held it mid-air, without reason or plan.
It was then that I noticed for the very first time.
That weed-toting boy could not see; he was blind.
I heard my voice quiver, tears shone in the sun,
As I thanked him for picking the very best one.
"You're welcome", he smiled, and then ran off to play,
Unaware of the impact he'd had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see,
A self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree.
How did he know of my self-indulged plight?
Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see,
The problem was not with the world; the problem was me.
And for all of those times I myself had been blind,
I vowed to see the beauty in life,
And appreciate every second that's mine.
Then I held that wilted flower up to my nose
And breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose
And smiled as I watched that young boy
Another weed in his hand,
About the change the life of an unsuspecting old man.

Supposedly, this entry is long but blogger hanged so sorry nalang to me.

My addiction to posting starts to creep to me again.
Pardon for the blabbing i'll be making right now. I just can't stop posting. I mean, blabbing.
I terribly miss summer. If you just went ol awhile ago, you'll surely see how I miss summer. How I longed for it to come in my way. How I daydreamed I am in a summer mode. How I miss it so badly.
I remembered last summer. I just let the summer passed by without me noticing it. I longed for school days that time. If I can just turned back time. "You can't just turn back time." That's a line from 13 Going on 30 which is one of my fave movies ever. :)
Ayoko na! tinatamad nako! I'll just post snapshots:

anorexic ata toh!

ang payat talaga! ahha
My drawings of girls appear anorexic at times. Kainis!

I don't really know what contextualization means and how will you make a personal one. I must know how to make one now that I'm pretty old right now. 15 y/0. 3 years to go before I become legal to some things and that also means more more more responsibilities to be done. Just hearing the word makes me sick. Bah.
We had the launching and also a mass awhile ago. Pretty ordinary so there's nothing to be blabbed about it. Except for the fact that it was super hot.
And then, we had our chem quiz. 2nd quiz. And I'm pretty sure I'll get a good score. Sana lang. It's a simple lesson naman eh.
Ayun lang. This day was ok. I'm pretty hyper nung afternoon. I don't know why.
I ate carbonara and caramel sundae awhile ago so I'm pretty full right now. I might eat dinner at 8pm or 8.30pm. haha.
Sana summer na. Sana malanghap ko na ang ihip ng hanging dala ng summer. Ay wait, there's no wind during summer cause it's hot. haha. Ah basta, all I want right now is.....SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!

I was absent the first 3 days of school this year. Great start for this brand new year. Yeah, right. Just great. I missed the intrams. Especially the participation of the faculty in intrams. Grr. All said to me that I missed a very, very wonderful time especially Saturday. Hay. My stomach is the one responsible of missing the intrams.
Anyway, so we had our Merchant of Venice play last Tuesday and my performance..as usual is a mess. Especially my voice because I have a soft voice so sorry nalang if you don't hear me. Although according to Mrs. B, I acted ok.
I'm gonna change my skin.

Can't believe the break's over. I just arranged my desk awhile ago after watching half of the movie "Bewitched". I hadn't entirely fixed my things for tomorrow. I hope tomorrow's gonna be a "day". I can call a day as a "day" if I am happy that day. It's not necessary that I'm happy the entire day but at least I had been happy that day.
I got over my grief to Duday's death. Whenever I think of Duday, I smiled[instead of crying myself out which I did 2 days after her tragic death] and accompanying that smile, happy moments with her flashbacks in my mind. I realized that I'll have more pets to come. But the very 1st one that I had was Duday. So I guess I'll never ever forget her. Miss you, Duday! hihi.
How I wish it's summertime already. Even if I'm gonna review for the entrance exmas.
That's all! Ciao!

Honestly, my plans for this break didn't plunge into reality because of my laziness. I didn't bother to finish reading Mag-anak na Cruz and jot down the characters there. I ddin't bother to read another Shakespearean play. I just became a couch potato as well as a netfreak. So much for technology. But I believe I enjoyed this break. I had more rest. I had more chance to play with my crazy dog and my cute but mischievous rabbits. I won't have those opportunities when school begins again which is 2 days away and I don't wanna go to school yet. I hate waking up so early and arriving at school around 6 am. I can't wait to be in college. I still am torn between two choices for my college course that i'll take. It's either AB Nursing or Psychology. Hmmm. And then, when I'm finish either of that two, i'll take up Fashion Designing or Interior Design. Oh well, bahala na. hahha
So I finally watched Just Like Heaven. The story was soo sad but I find the ending very very wonderful. I almost cried. Basta, Watch for yourself. It's a superb movie. I tell you. Believe me.
I wish I would still update this till the time I earn my own living. Sana.
And oh, I have this plan for this year. I want to see how I mature. So I would take a picture or pictures of myself every single day of 2006[you'll see it in my photobucket]. Ok ba? ahaha.
So till then. Ciao!

Farewell, 2005! But before I welcome 2006, I just want to thank the previous year for giving me a lot of friends. I had a much wider circle of friends because of the reshuffling of our batch. Last October, I found this piece of paper wherein I placed my thoughts and reactions to the reshuffling that will be done. I wrote it just last February. I said there that I don't want to be with other sections because I prefer ii2 to be beside me while classes are going on. I also said that the reshuffling idea SUCKS big time! All of these things that my immature mind had written months ago were all wrong! All of them! It never sucked big time. Turns out it was a very brilliant idea! I had more friends to interact and be with. I had learned so many things about me. I had a good time with my brand new classmates. I remembered the first day of classes, I was so nervous at that time because I don't know if I'll fit in iii3 and because I don't know how'll I treat them. Should I just smile and stay quiet and just keep all my thoughts and ideas in myself or should I be a talkative one even if I don't know what I'm talking about already or maybe I should just be my own self. Sad to say, on the first day, I picked the 1st one. I just kept my mouth shut. I just speaked with my previous classmates. I didn't bother to have long, flowing conversations with my new classmates. And that day, I really was thankful that there were breaks in between because if there's none, I'm dead. But as time passes by, I realize that iii3 isn't hard to please anyway. They are just a bit like ii2. Happy-go-lucky class, want to have fun, laughs all the time, jokes around nonstop. They don't judge and criticize others. And most of all, they are all pretty[weh?] and smart people. I learned to love my new class.
2005 was really a great year for me. I learned a lot of things. And now, I knew myself better.
As I bid farewell to 2005, I want to thank all the people out there who made this year a memorable and fun year for me.
Farewell, 2005!
Welcome, 2006!
I wish that this year will be a better year than 2005. And I believe it will be.
Duday, I still miss you! heheh.
ciao!:)
