Wishing
"Wishing"
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do:
Set a watch upon your actions,
Keep them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives;
Let your thoughts be clean and high.
You can make a little Eden
Of the sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make a start,
By accumulating wisdom
In the scrapbook of your heart:
Do not waste one page on folly;
Live to learn, and learn to live.
If you want to give men knowledge
You must get it, ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness
As you pass along the way;
For the pleasures of the many
May be ofttimes traced to one,
As the hand that plants an acorn
Shelters armies from the sun.

What Death Note Character Are You?
Hosted by theOtaku.com: Anime. Done right.
Your Score: hyphen
You scored 38% Sociability and 58% Sophistication!
You are comfortable around others. While you don't have to go out every night, yet you take pride in being easy to get along with. This should not, however, be misconstrued as believing (as many do) that you are without subtlety. In fact, you have the power to inform the anal retentive that, indeed, they are discussing an anal-retentive issue. Who else can do that? Quotation marks intimidate you a little bit.

Another quiz result...
Empathy- Your inner power is Empathy! This
means that you have a talent for identifying
others emotions, often by simply glancing at
them. You are EXTREMELY shy and quiet. People
sometimes dont notice youre around and seem
surprised to find out you even exist in a big
class. Youre the often silent, goody two shoes,
and few get passed the walls youve built up to
stop yourself being hurt, as you no doubt have
been in the past. Not everyone understands you,
in fact some think that youre a snob or worse
because you rarely participate in group
activities. Youre extremely sensitive, even the
least harsh of words can hurt you. Only your
very few, closest friends who have earned your
hard-to-get trust know who you really are
inside; a sweet, gentle young woman who is
lonely and so desperately needing friends to
support you. You can get very depressed and not
always know why, despite your power of empathy,
as it seems to only work for people outside
you. Your friends always turn to you when they
need advice or comforting, and in some way you
need to give that helpit makes you feel better
in return to know that youve helped out your
friends. Despite your cold, impassive exterior
and high, seemingly unbreachable walls, inside
you are really a great, intelligent person,
full of compassion and love, if only people
would dare take a chance and try to get through
your tough shell. Never let others get you
down, or change you. You are very special the
way you areeven if you dont have fifty thousand
friends, you are just as, if not more
extraordinary than everyone else. Reach for the
stars, because I dont doubt youll catch hold of
them.
Boy/Girl who will sweep you off your feet:
A sweet, shy and romantic man/woman. The kind
of guy/woman you know will never, ever hurt
you, and will love you for ever. The kind of
person who believes in true love, and soul
mates.
Your stone: Blue Topaz
Your power: Healing. Emotionally,
physically, or spiritually, you heal people
with your words, your actions and presence.
Youre the one that the little children are
always drawn to, because they know youll never
let anything hurt them.
Your element: Clairvoyance (The power to
see objects or events that cannot be perceived
by the normal five senses.)
A quote that applies to you: "True
beauty shines from the soul and warms the world
with its kindness, compassion , and
integrity."
What's your inner power? (Girls only sorry. Beautiful anime pictures, lengthy results)

Falling Leaves...
Serendipity is the occurence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. I looked up the word on the Internet, and I found out that it was serendipity that led to the discovery of penicillin, blasting gelatin, and polyethylene. It also led to the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation—whatever that was. The serendipity I had in mind was nothing compared to those!
When I hear the word serendipity, feelings of delight, tranquility, and bliss come to mind. When I hear the word serendipity,Leaves3_2 I see myself leisurely walking down a path lined with dozens and dozens of trees. I am in deep thought, thinking of how I could mend a problem. But then a soft breeze blows, and the leaves begin to fall. Small, round, brilliant leaves. More and more come showering down like rain, forming heaps on the ground. It is beautiful. I look around, but nobody else seems to notice but me. Without hesitation, I then throw my bag into the air, run to where the trees are, and marvel at the graciously falling leaves. At that moment as I was swirling about with my head looking upward and my arms swinging freely, I feel my worries fly away with every gush of wind. Ah, bliss.
But—going back to reality, I didn’t and I couldn’t do that, for not only would I Fallingleaves_1be very late for class, people would think I’m insane as well. Every serendipitous moment was all but a fantasy. In the first place, I wasn’t walking the path at my leisure. I was thinking of how I could reach the classroom in the shortest time possible—I was fifteen minutes late already. As I was scurrying my way, I saw the glorious leaves falling but all that I was able to do was to glance at them with longing.

First day Funk
I'm using Parokya ni Edgar's song as my blog title not because the song's being played like all over the campus(okay, maybe that was a bit exaggerated, but it was indeed played repeatedly.), but because my first day was really funked-up. Take note that I'm using the word "funk" in this sense:funk(1) informal
· n. (also blue funk) a state of panic or depression.
Let me summarize the whole experience to you:
It all started when I forgot that it was Tuesday and stupidly thought that it was Monday. (Ooh, can you sense the upcoming tragedy now?) My classes for MTh require me to wake up at 6:30 am and leave the house at 8:00. My classes for my TF classes, however, start 1 1/2 hour earlier, and I have to wake up at 5:00 am and leave at 6:30 am. Since I thought it was Monday... *sighs* You know what happened. I missed my first class. STUPID ME!!!! >:-(
And no, my stupidity didn't end there. The whole time I was still perfectly unaware that it was Tuesday and that I should therefore follow my Tuesday sched. And so, I went to the College of Science auditorium to attend Nat. Sci. 2 (which is, of course, a different section.) I had been listening to the professor and chatting with my seatmate (not at the same time, haha) for about an hour already when the professor requested that we line up and get our classcards. And so, I lined up, brought my form 5 with me, and was even puzzled when the professor said that my name was not on the class list. Too bad I had not overreacted and panicked. If I did, that would have embarassed me more.
"You're in a different section!" announced the professor to the large class. "Now, class, check your Form 5s, you might be overexcited and forget that you don't have nat sci classes until Thursday." I was like, (^_^) (x_x)
I felt my cheeks burn and suddenly just wanted to be invisible. I said a quick goodbye to my seatmate and left the classroom, hoping I wouldn't hear the class burst into laughter right after I closed the door. (And fortunately, they didn't. They must have just thought of how absent-minded I was.) You could imagine how much I hated myself at that time. Banghead I just realized that I had already missed one class, and now I'm going to have to miss another. It was already 11:15 and I felt so drained, so depressed, so in funk by my embarrasing moment that I just wanted to slump down somewhere and eat.
Waaaaaah!!! And I thought my freshie first-day was bad enough! (I had to ask where this and that building was located, and all those freshie questions.) That day is nothing compared to this day. My First Day Funk.
(If you're reading this, please make no mention of this post to anyone, not even to me. I do not want to talk about this anymore.)
