Enjoy the little things in life..

"Enjoy the little things in life...

For one day, you will look back and realize they were the big things. "

I love receiving gifts that come from the heart or something that someone has given a lot of thought, too.
So weather it be a card, phone call, dinner or something extravagant I appreciate the fact that they had me in mind when they did it.

THE NYMPH’S REPLY TO THE SHEPHERD BY SIR WALTER RALEGH

If all the world and love were young,

And truth in every Shepherd’s tongue,

These pretty pleasures might me move,

To live with thee, and be thy love.

Time drives the flocks from field to fold,

When Rivers rage and Rocks grow cold,

And Philomel becometh dumb,

The rest complains of cares to come.

The flowers do fade, and wanton fields,

To wayward winter reckoning yields,

A honey tongue, a heart of gall,

Is fancy’s spring, but sorrow’s fall.

Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of Roses,

Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy posies

Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten:

In folly ripe, in reason rotten.

Thy belt of straw and Ivy buds,

The Coral clasps and amber studs,

All these in me no means can move

To come to thee and be thy love.

But could youth last, and love still breed,

Had joys no date, nor age no need,

Then these delights my mind might move

To live with thee, and be thy love.

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love By Christopher Marlowe (1564 – 1593)

Come live with me and be my Love,

And we will all the pleasures prove

That hills and valleys, dale and field,
And all the craggy mountains yield.

There will we sit upon the rocks
And see the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.

There will I make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.

A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull,
Fair linèd slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold.

A belt of straw and ivy buds
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my Love.

Thy silver dishes for thy meat
As precious as the gods do eat,
Shall on an ivory table be
Prepared each day for thee and me.

The shepherd swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May-morning:
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me and be my Love.

Last Week of August

Yes! Our P.T. 1.2 has ended!But say no, it's because the PTC is near, and I am afraid of what my grades would be. I think, I am low in Advance Stat. & Anal. Geom. Wah! It was the 2 subjects wherein I find it difficult to analyze the topics. T_T

Woooh! And now,this week was the last week of August & I think, the Filipino club & Saliw will have to do many preparations for our celebration of Buwan ng Wika will be on Tuesday, September 1. I don't know why should we celebrate it the first day of September. But I guess, it's because Filipino club will lack time for preparations if it will be celebrated earlier.

Yipee! And this was my first blog entry this 2nd grading period. Haha! As of now, to be honest, I don't know yet what to put & what to type, I don't know if my grammar is correct, and I don't know if this week was really the week for us to start posting our first blog entry for 2nd grading. Ahaha!

Tomorrow, we do not have classes for the 4th years will have their NCAE & some of the teachers from our school will be proctoring on different schools. Weeeh! Of course, at first, we're happy. But when Ma'am May told me, Tamio & Justin that saliw members must go to school tomorrow to help make the costume for the street dancing competition, whew, a little bit sad because I cannot grab the time to do what i want to do for that day, but of course, happy also, for I know what will we do will help a lot for those who will be joining the street dance. Haha!

CORY AQUINO

August 1, about 3:oo in the morning, I woked up. I still have to prepare my things because, about 5:00 AM, we will be going to San Sebastian, Claro M. Recto Campus, for the Rotary-Interact Assembly. I opened the television while waiting for the water to boil. I was shocked to see the news that Cory Aquino, considered as the Philippines' Mother of Democracy, died already. I waked up my mother & let hear watch the news. She was also shocked about it.

This Tuesday, August 4, 2009, we had our P.T.A Induction of Officers. One representative of each year level P.T.A officers will perform a special number. I was just inspired when one of the P.T.A officers had sung 'Bayan Ko' wherein he dedicated it to Cory Auino.

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag.
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa.

Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas!
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko't dalita
Aking adhika,
Makita kang sakdal laya.
