Desiderata

Desiderata

by Max Ehrmann

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 to 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 perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to 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 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 in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

*"Desiderata" (Latin for "desired things", plural of desideratum) is an inspirational prose poem about attaining happiness in life. It was first copyrighted in 1927 by Max Ehrmann.
I read this a while ago and thought of reposting it. It makes sense - lots of.

What You Want?

"WHO AM I?"


" WHAT DO I WANT?"

Got inspired by an episode of One Tree Hill about wanting and dreaming for something. I'm not really watching the series regularly (I didn't even know their names) but I kind of getting what the characters were trying to convey. The dramas of the people on their early twenties age- career, relationships, single parenthood, changes and whatever issues that came up.While I am listening to each and every characters' answer I myself thought of answering it but find it actually difficult.

Who am I? still blank.

What do I want? Well the last time I actually wrote down what I want (not just material wise) was in my senior year high school, it's actually an activity in our homeroom-thingie in which we have to like plot a timeline of our ages up to 30 (if i remember it right) and beside the age was to write down what you want to have or achieve on that particular bracket. Well most of them came true but when I hit 21 some things are a little bit impossible and some that are actually not listed which i thought were impossible at the time came true.There are a lot of changes. Although i'm still hanging or should i say holding on the possibilities. we don't know what fate has tolled on us. i believe it's a matter of faith and positivity. yes it's hard to go along with the waves of adversities coming from everywhere but we're all going to grave in the end so why not live life to what you want while you're alive. not unless you're a vampire and lives forever and wants to exist in eternal damnation as edward describes it in the book new moon. haha.

Now that I am hitting 22 in less than a month, I guess I have to do something much more with sense. Want for something much more mature. Even if I don't think I'm mature enough to handle anything mature? haha pointless. But still - I had this dream big thing in me - even if it crosses the line of impossibility I think. What's dreaming for if not dream the farthest -and its all free, oh man?! But remember even songs reminds us - "be careful what you wish for
cause you just might get it all" - cause sometimes before you knew it the things you care about the most is gone while on your way reaching for that ultimate want.

But if you really think hard, even the simplest could be the farthest thing you could want - such as happiness and contentment. simple yet hard to get. or is it just me? bacause I'm not claiming it, not choosing it. My wants are as clear as my thoughts are screaming it loud. Maybe it's true what they say - you don't get everything you want, just what you deserve.


Now ask yourself. Who are you? and What do you want?
your turn ^^.

SPILL

may napaginipan ako
ang gulo
gusto kong umiyak
gusto kong tumawa
banas.

pagkagising
dami na pumasok sa isip ko
tapos
sa pagsakay ko kanina
isang oras ako nakatulala
pagdating ko ng katipunan
tsaka ko lang namalayan
pababa na pala ako
windang.

kausapin mo ko
kakausapin kita
sagutin mo ang mga tanong ko
pakinggan mo ang mga kwento ko
magtanong ka rin
magkwento ka
makikinig din ako
bigo.

sasawayin ko ang puso
mali kasi
wat ya think?!
tawa.

sasabihin ko sa'yo lahat
mawawala to
seryoso
pero bandang huli
big time loser
luha.

tambay
inuman.
masusuka.
kwento
matatae.
shit.

may pimple ako
sa loob ng ilong
fudge
di ko mahawakan
bagbabalat palad ko
walang ibig sabihin
kirot.

+ang guhit na nasa taas ay ginuhit ko habang naglalabas ng sama ng loob. mejo nakakagaan ng loob. doodling stuffs. demerts. pinamagataan ko itong spills. kung bakit? wala lang maganda pakingan. kayo na magbigay ng kahulougan. basta yung mga salita na nasa taas yun na yun.+

Raging Water

the wind blew harder

and it flows rapidly

not stopping until the hard hit

yet it continually go

following a path

to nowhere,

it rages -

to somewhere only He knows

then after a great fall

it came to stillness

slowly and then onto the rage again

for when it continues to flow

there it finds its purpose

-jcsm 100708

+ minutes of morning nothingness. just a shout out of what's inside me. my life compared to a raging river +

KAILAN by Bamboo

may fave band is back with this new single "kailan" on their new album "tomorrow becomes yesterday". i've watched them live the first time when i was like first year or second year college at the fort and sobrang akala ko they're just like other opm bands. but i'm definitely wrong. their music creates impact not only to individuals who listen to their music but also if you try to reflect dun sa songs nila sa mga previous albums, they talk about faith, being a nation, being a worthy citizen at ikaw bilang tao. haha may sense di ba?! hehe tama na satsat. di ko alam kelan release ng album.tagal ko ng di nakakadalaw ng music store. demerts. haha. narinig ko to ko kanina habang naghahapit ako ng drawings. salamat sa NU at napatigil ako saglit sa pgcadd haha. laabeeet. (labs na malupit) haha. utot. pauso lang. haha . eto lyrics at video:

Bago ang lahat isipin mo kung nasa tama ka,
Baka magkamali ka pa doon.
At bago mo ayusin ang mga bagay sa paligid mo,
Unahin mo kaya sarili mo


Kailan? kailan ko gagawin kundi ngayon
Tao po nananawagan lang naman ako
Saan? kailangan nating simulan
Tao po nangangailangan lang ng tulong nyo


Nais kong mabuhay ng mabuti't marangal
Nagsisimba nagdarasal ako, tuwing linggo
Sapat na ba kayang itong sagot sa panalangin na
Maging pantay at patag ang mundo


Kailan? kailan ko gagawin kundi ngayon
Tao po nananawagan lang naman ako
Saan? kailangan nating simulan
Tao po nangangailangan lang ng tulong nyo


Kailangan bang ulitin pang muli
Sa awit na sinabi noon
Kailan ba kaya ako malaya sa gulo
Ilang awit pa ba ang kailangan tugtugin ng
Bandang to


Kailan? kailan ko gagawin kundi ngayon
Tao po nananawagan lang naman ako
Saan? kailangan nating simulan
Tao po nangangailangan lang ng tulong nyo


Kailan? kailan ko gagawin kundi ngayon
Tao po nananawagan lang naman ako
Saan? kailangan nating simulan
Tao po nangangailangan lang ng tulong nyo
