My first crush was Marvick and he knows it. I don't know kung naging crush din niya ako kasi I really remember that he gave me a valentine's day card when we were in grade three. It all started in grade two. I don't know bakit the memory is still so vivid after almost nine years na. I had a crush on him until high school pero I knew then na hindi siya love kasi I really wasn't selos of the girls he's with. Pure puppylove.
Next is, Junaidi. The smartest guy of our rival school. It was just a come and go kind of thing. I kissed him on the cheeks nung party ni Pupung as a consequence, kilig me pero hanggang dun lang yun, no love at all.
Wala na after that. Owsss... I know you won't believe. Actually, may bago. He's smart, cute and so engrossing.
He's not the point of this entry.
I'm having ambivalent feelings for this guy at school. He drives me mad and at the same time makes me think of lustful and indecent thoughts. He is so kakainis. Argh...

Che, hmm... I don't want to say more of HIM... people just love the idea of love.
Our Eng 111 just became Philo 101. I'm going nuts about our Finals, my last final exam this semester. It's an On-the-Spot Essay Writing Exam, Argumentative to be exact. 
just exaggerating a bit.
So let me just post this question, it's the whole point of the essay and maybe you can help me reason it out. It's not that hard a question. The proving "WHY" part is. Philo is all that--why the amswer is the answer not what the answer is. discussions are very good in Philo, writing is another thing.
So here it goes...
What do you know for sure?

The Confused History of "Desiderata"
The author is Max Ehrmann, a poet and lawyer from Terre Haute, Indiana, who lived from 1872 to 1945. It has been reported that Desiderata was inspired by an urge that Ehrmann wrote about in his diary:
"I should like, if I could, to leave a humble gift -- a bit of chaste prose that had caught up some noble moods."
Around 1959, the Rev. Frederick Kates, the rector of St. Paul's Church in Baltimore, Maryland, used the poem in a collection of devotional materials he compiled for his congregation. (Some years earlier he had come across a copy of Desiderata.) At the top of the handout was the notation, "Old St. Paul's Church, Baltimore A.C. 1692." The church was founded in 1692. [1]
As the material was handed from one friend to another, the authorship became clouded. Copies with the "Old St. Paul's Church" notation were printed and distributed liberally in the years that followed. It is perhaps understandable that a later publisher would interpret this notation as meaning that the poem itself was found in Old St. Paul's Church, dated 1692. This notation no doubt added to the charm and historic appeal of the poem, despite the fact that the actual language in the poem suggests a more modern origin. The poem was popular prose for the "make peace, not war" movement of the 1960s.
When Adlai Stevenson died in 1965, a guest in his home found a copy of Desiderata near his bedside and discovered that Stevenson had planned to use it in his Christmas cards. The publicity that followed gave widespread fame to the poem as well as the mistaken relationship to St. Paul's Church. [1]
As of 1977, the rector of St. Paul's Church was not amused by the confusion. Having dealt with the confusion "40 times a week for 15 years," he was sick of it. [1]
This misinterpretation has only added to the confusion concerning whether or not the poem is in the public domain.
By the way, Desiderata is Latin for "Things to be Desired."
Is Desiderata in the Public Domain or Copyrighted?
Max Ehrmann obtained a federal copyright for Desiderata in 1927 (No. 962402). [2] It was also printed in a collection of his poems published in 1948. The copyright was bequeathed to his widow, Bertha, who renewed the copyright in 1954. At her death in 1962, she bequeathed the copyright to her nephew, Richmond Wight. Wight assigned the copyright (for an undisclosed fee) to Crescendo Publishing Co. in 1971.
The poem was published in the August, 1971 issue of Success Unlimited magazine, and Robert L. Bell, the owner of Crescendo Publishing Co., filed a copyright infringement suit against the publisher, Combined Registry Co. [3]
The defense argued that the copyright had been forfeited and abandoned. Three instances of distribution were alleged to support forfeiture:
(1) In December 1933, Ehrmann used Desiderata as part of a Christmas greeting to his friends.
(2) In 1942, Ehrmann corresponded with Merrill Moore, a U.S. Army psychiatrist serving during World War II. Moore told Ehrmann that he had distributed an estimated 1,000 copies of Desiderata over the years while he was in civilian practice in Boston . Letters attest to the fact that Ehrmann gave permission for Moore to distribute copies of the poem to soldiers as part of their treatment. As late as 1944, Moore confirmed to Ehrmann that he continued to use the poem in his work in the South Pacific. [3]
After Ehrmann's death in 1945, reports of his correspondence with Moore appeared in several publications, each of which included the text of Desiderata without a copyright notice.
(3) As noted above, about 200 copies of Desiderata were distributed by Rev. Kates to his congregation around 1959. (The court stated that this occurred in 1957, but most other accounts report that it happened in 1959.)
The Copyright Act requires copyright notice on materials that one seeks to have protected. [17 U.S.C. Section 10] Forfeiture occurs when the copyright holder authorizes general publication without the correct notice.
The 1933 Christmas cards were not a "general publication" that would divest the copyright holder of his rights. Nor did the distribution by Rev. Kates or the later copies, since there was no evidence of authorization by the copyright holder.
However, the court concluded that the correspondence between Moore and Ehrmann was credible evidence of a general publication authorized by the copyright holder. "Permission to use the work was given gratuitously," and nowhere was a copyright or copyright notice mentioned. Ehrmann had therefore forfeited his right to have the copyright protected. [2]
The federal district court found in favor of the defendants, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that decision, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case. [See citations below]
However, Mr. Bell has been successful in pursuing his copyright claim in other jurisdictions of the United States. One can argue that Mr. Ehrmann tried to protect his copyright, as evidenced by a copy of the poem published by the Indiana Publishing Co. that clearly bears the 1927 copyright notice.
It seems that the courts cannot agree on this issue. Thus, whether or not this poem is in the public domain depends upon your point of view and your place of residence.
"Be Cheerful" or "Be Careful"?
There is some dispute regarding this phrase near the end of Desiderata. One of the publishers claims that Ehrmann himself changed the wording. Another story is that an errant publisher accidently changed it from "cheerful" to "careful."
We have chosen to use "cheerful" because it seems more in tune with the rest of the poem, and it appears in a version published by the Indiana Publishing Co. during Mr. Ehrmann's lifetime. We'll update this section if we discover more evidence of the truth.

DESIDERATA
-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Not "Found in Old St. Paul's Church"! -- see below
Go placidly amid the noise and the 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 vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or 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 in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

the following are my opinions, please bear with me...
>> i want to stop the communication with my HS friends, move on something like that. i'm happy with the life i have now. i know i shouldn't forget the past and that's what i'm worried about because i can't... i can't forget what happened on senior year. i have a penchant to remember every melancholic gory event in my life. i really tried but it seems i haven't tried hard enough. 
>> i feel unappreciated by everybody. siguro i'm not that appreciable huh... the only persons i feel ever appreciated is when i'm with Jamie or Lace Anne. Lace, you're heaven sent... thank you. 
>> i feel stupid because i keep on telling people to not submit themselves to anything that will only hurt them but i keep on doing it especially with friends. 
>> i get so affected by people. they make me feel i'm the worst kind of living thing there is which i am not. i hate them... 
>> Pupung called me when my mom died but i'm torn; is what he shows me true? i'm confused... 
>> i've never been scared in my whole life until now. i think i have just seen fear face-to-face for the first time. waiting for the final grades is so agonizing. i pray i'll pass (kajillion times)... 
>> the world is really full od contradictions, don't you think? especially when you're experiencing post-adolescent pre-adult dilemma like i do. i sometimes call it the not-a-girl-not-yet-a-woman-stage but that's so Britney. well, my point is, it's just so er, funny when a single person struggles for individuality and fitting in a group or barkada at the same time. we usually want to belong to a certain group (if not, we feel incomplete so alone) but then we also want to be different, to stand out amongst peers. it's crazy, isn't it? barkadas who have totally different as in worlds apart characteristics don't exist, or else it would be Utopia for me and the world would be so kind but it isn't. that's the problem with my high school barkada. i don't belong there, i don't feel i belong. there is no coexistence, no symbiosis... everyone wants to have a piece of you or nothing. get the picture?! 
>> i'm a jack of all trades but a master of none. i'm good on most things but great in nothing. it's s***. it's crap. i feel so low... 
>> if i have one wish at Christmas it won't be world peace but satisfaction. like the song, people just can't get enough of anything. i think it's the main reason why there isn't peace in this world. gosh, do i sound like a diplomat now? but truthfully...
>> i contemplate about death almost everyday. sometimes, i wish death could come a little earlier. don't get me wrong, i'm not suicidal at all. well, a little bit. LOL... 
>> Honors is just a tag. cum laude, summa and all of the titles mean nothing. it's not that i'm not on the dean's list or Salu lang me nung HS. it's just i feel it's not good to put tags on people. it limits a person's capabilities, don't you think? 
>> i watched two movies in the last week, "Dubai" and "Corpse Bride". both are nice. the former is a tearjerker as usual. the latter is cute, very cool and cute. 
>> since it's only about two months to Christmas, i want to ask? can you imagine christmas without the music of jose mari chan. me, i don't think so. his songs are a part of what christmas is to me. i love christmas, it is truly a wonderful time of the year. 
>> i saw the trailer of harry potter and goblet of fire and it was so fantastic, so amazing. i really can't wait till November 18. 
>> my salute to Korean Love Stories. they're unique and very original. so very heart-warming and lovey-dovey... 
>> we had two symposia about being a CPA. one was last September 30 with Mr. Eugene Mateo, Chairman of the Accountancy Board and second with Mr. Froilan Ampil last October 22. it was very informative lest we do take the CPA board. 
>> this is probably the longest entry in my journal. at least i poured my heart out. i acted like a victim but it's how i feel. if anyone objects then you are suggested to comment as well as if you agree. thank you until next time...

W. E. Henley
Invictus
OUT of the night that covers me,Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I just finished the whole series. It uber nice. May parts na boring pero the plot is really amazing. I love Merriman Lyon, Bran Davies, Will Stanton and the Drew siblings.
The following are the poems that guide the plot of the novels. There are five novels: Over Sea, Under Stone; The Dark is Rising; Greenwitch; The Grey King; and Silver on a Tree.
After the poems are reviews and plot summary from GreenManReview. Hope you can share my enjoyment. Read the books if you can. I especially love The Grey King, no wonder it won the Newbery Medal. 
The Dark is Rising
by Susan Cooper
When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back;
Three from the circle, three from the track;
Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone;
Five will return, and one go alone.
Iron for the birthday, bronze carried long;
Wood from the burning, stone out of song;
Fire in the candle-ring, water from the thaw;
Six Signs the circle, and the grail gone before.
Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold
Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old;
Power from the green witch, lost beneath the sea;
All shall find the light at last, silver on the tree.
On the day of the dead, when the year too dies,
Must the youngest open the oldest hills
Through the door of the birds, where the breeze breaks.
There fire shall fly from the raven boy,
And the silver eyes that see the wind,
And the light shall have the harp of gold.
By the pleasant lake the Sleepers lie,
On Cadfan’s Way where the kestrels call;
Though grim from the Grey King shadows fall,
Yet singing the golden harp shall guide
To break their sleep and bid them ride.
When light from the lost land shall return,
Six Sleepers shall ride, six Signs shall burn,
And where the midsummer tree grows tall
By Pendragon’s sword the Dark shall fall.
Y maent yr mynyddoedd yn canu,
ac y mae’r arglwyddes yn dod.
When I was a teenager I often repeated these lines to myself as a kind of charm. It wasn't that I expected them to make something happen; the words were a "happening" in and of themselves, and just saying them put me into the middle of it. They were a door into Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising cycle, one of the most compelling stories I had ever read. The story compels me to this day, and I continue to re-read it every few years.
The Dark is Rising cycle is composed of five books: Over Sea, Under Stone, The Dark is Rising, Greenwitch, The Grey King, and Silver on the Tree. Of the five, The Dark is Rising was a Newbery Honor Book, and The Grey King actually won the Newbery Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in children's literature. While I do not value books simply because they win awards, the fact that Cooper's books have won them tells me that many other people have found them as compelling as I have.
The first book in the cycle, Over Sea, Under Stone, begins with three children, Simon, Jane, and Barnabas Drew, who are on holiday in Trewissick, a sleepy Cornwall village. With them are their parents and a mysterious family friend named Merriman Lyon, whom they know simply as "Great-Uncle Merry." The Drew children's discovery of a real treasure map takes them on an exciting, frightening quest to discover a grail that has been hidden for over a thousand years. They are opposed by sinister enemies, but find unexpected help in Great-Uncle Merry, who turns out to be more powerful than they ever knew, an agent of what he calls "the Light." By finding the grail, they win the first battle in a great war that is beginning all over England between the Dark and the Light.
The Dark and the Light, you see, are ancient enemies, and the Dark has chosen this time in the second half of our century to begin its last great Rising, to defeat the Light and subjugate the human race forever. In the second book in the cycle, The Dark is Rising, we meet another key fighter in this great war, Will Stanton. Will is turning eleven, and on his birthday he discovers that he is the last-born in the Circle of the Old Ones, servants of the Light. Another Old One, Merriman Lyon, teaches Will the knowledge and skills he needs to win for the Light the next battle of the great war. Will finds the six Signs, objects of power that the Light will use in the final confrontation to defeat the Dark; he also awakens Hern the Hunter to harry the Dark to the ends of the earth.
Will and the Drews meet in the third book in the cycle, Greenwitch. The grail has been stolen, and Great-Uncle Merry brings Simon, Jane, and Barney back to Trewissick to recover it. They are dismayed to discover, however, that Great-Uncle Merry has brought another boy with him, someone named Will Stanton.
Convinced that Will will get in the way, they attempt to leave him behind as they set out to recover the grail. Will, of course, has come to Trewissick to join his master, Merriman, in helping the Drews with their task. In the end, the Drews realize that Will is perhaps just as powerful as their great uncle. But first Jane witnesses the ritual making of the Trewissick Greenwitch, a powerful but lonely creature who gives Jane an important key to the message of the grail in return for Jane's friendship.
The fourth book is The Grey King. Will goes on a lone quest to Wales to find a golden harp whose music will awaken six Sleepers, warriors of the Light. When he arrives, Will meets a boy named Bran who agrees to help Will with his task. To find the harp, the boys must open the ancient green hills of Wales on the old Day of the Dead, now known as Hallowe'en. They are harried by the Grey King, a Lord of the Dark who has his stronghold on the Welsh mountain Cader Idris. While on the way to awaken the Sleepers, they uncover secrets about Bran's past that link him to Arthur Pendragon, another great Lord of the Light.
In Silver on the Tree, the final book in the cycle, Will, Merriman, and the Drews return to Wales, where together with Bran they begin the final battle with the Dark. Will and Bran journey to the Lost Land, a legendary country that was drowned off the Welsh coast, and take from there a crystal Sword, the last great weapon of the Light. Then the Six of them take the Sword and the Signs in a race against the Dark to the Chiltern hills of England, where stands the Midsummer Tree. And there, by Pendragon's Sword, the Dark falls.
Susan Cooper has said that she wrote Over Sea, Under Stone without intending to write a sequel. Sometime later she conceived the idea for the whole Dark is Rising cycle. She sat down, wrote the last page of the last book, and then wrote all of the four remaining books in about six and a half years. She wanted to create a series of books that would develop the great theme of the struggle between Good and Evil, Light and Dark. To accomplish so large a task, she chose some characters who were wholly human and some who were something a little more than human, and she placed them in the great ghostly company of legend.
It is this ghostly company that gives Cooper's epic story its power. As she says, Wales and Cornwall and even Will Stanton's Buckinghamshire are haunted by a long and misty past of history and myth. Cooper directly acknowledges her debt to the Mabinogion, and to the writings of Robert Graves and Walter de la Mare. (For more information about the Mabinogion, see Jo Morrison's review comparing two different versions. And Saros' British Mythology page focuses on the Welsh Mabinogi.) However, she also remembers that, growing up in the places that form the settings for her story, she was immersed in Welsh legend, and in the stories of King Arthur and all the ancient folk beliefs about Hern the Hunter and the Greenwitch and the Brenin Llwyd, the Grey King. They were a part of her daily landscape and conversation. She heard tales about the Lost Land --an ancient Welsh version of the Atlantis story -- and learned about the magical properties of trees and the powerful forces that were released on Hallowe'en, Christmas Eve and Twelfth Night.
The Dark is Rising series is dense with the riches of Cooper's mythopoeic heritage (my thanks to the Mythopoeic Society for such a wonderful word). Will's adventures feel freighted with significance because they take place during the twelve days of Christmas, or, later, at Hallowe'en. The six Signs take their power from the primal elements of which they are made: wood, bronze, iron, fire, water, and stone. The grail, the golden harp, and Pendragon's crystal sword awaken echoes of other old stories, old songs. Because we, the readers, have heard snatches of the old lore before, we feel their significance.
Perhaps the strange creatures from folklore affect us most of all. Herne the Hunter, with his stag's horns and his Hell Hounds, gives us a thrill of wonder and a shiver of fear. (See Jo Morroson's review of Jane Yolen's The Wild Hunt for another perspective on Herne the Hunter.) So does the Greenwitch, woven by night of fresh-cut green branches and then cast into the sea at sunrise. And the Grey King, with his creeping breath of cold mist on the hillsides, turns our shiver into a shudder of pure dread.
As if this were not enough, Cooper catches at our hearts by tying into her epic the most beloved strand of all, the legend of King Arthur. Merriman Lyon, as you might guess, was long ago Arthur's trusted advisor, and the power of the Light takes the characters backward and forward through time, so that Arthur's deeds and his mission directly affect their own. In The Grey King this effect is felt most strongly, but the whole cycle bears the impress of the truest of Britain's kings.
In our time, folklore and legends are often relegated to the children's section of book stores and libraries, along with fairy tales. So also is Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series. But although her protagonists are all children with the exception of Merriman, the tasks they undertake and the wonders and horrors they face have the ageless quality that is the hallmark of all great stories.
I am not the first adult to want to have my own children chiefly for the pleasure of sharing with them the great stories that can be found in "their" books. There is nothing so wonderful as being with someone who is encountering for the first time a character or scene from a story that I deeply love myself. But whether or not you are a child or have children to read to, please give yourself permission to venture into their section and find The Dark is Rising. And when you reach the part of the story where Will hears the music of the Doors for the first time, you might let me know, so that I can share the encounter with you.
All five of the books in The Dark is Rising series are still in print, and should be available from your local or online bookstore. Copies can also frequently be found in used bookstores and at public libraries. I recommend that you try to find one of the old hardcover editions of the cycle in order to see the dust jacket art. It is an eerie collage of photography and painted artwork that truly suits the story.

I'm just at home facing the computer and doodling with my father's new phone. Since it still doesn't have a signal, I'm playing with it. It's a nice phone but I'm not sure it'll fit my dad's needs. To tell you the truth, I want it for my own. It's a Sony Ericsson W800--Walkman Phone. It's cool. Super!!!
I am in my dad's room. I was waiting for someone to come in--a nightmare. Someone opened the door and I turned to see my dread. I was shocked. It was my father holding a baby girl (not really, she's 2)--my half sister from the freakin' mistress. Well, I wanted to see her naman so I guess it was high time. She's cute as I expect since she's still little. Don't you wish we never grew up? Nah!
I'm ever so thankful that I passed my ACCTG 201 subject. No retakes for me. God must really love me. Thankful, thankful!
I'm trying to transfer files from my dad's phone to the computer. It doesn't seem to work. There's no techno problem I can't work on. Just yesterday, my father changed the phone language to Chinese. He didn't use it so that he won't incur more damage. Parents are so techno-freaks. At least mine are. I changed it back to Automatic in about a minute. I can't blame him though. SE's are less user-friendly than Nokia's. SE's have very good picture resolution and sound. My dad is supposed to get a Nokia N90 but it wasn't available yet. The N90 is the phone with a floating/flying boy in a trampoline commercial. It has Zeiss Optics which is one of the best in the world. Well, I love Sony Ericsson's the best. Sad to say, I haven't got a mobile phone for a month now. HUHUHU... By November pa siguro.
P.S. I'm under probation on Blue Eagle Scholarships. Tough life!
That's it, until EttezilHour again...

My dad left for Cebu kanina. He, my aunt and stepmother are going to spend Halloween there.
I watched Grind kanina. Nice siya. Marion and I planned to watched Memoirs of a Geisha and Little Manhattan together when it will be shown at Mindpro. As if meron pang ibang lugar. I also planned on watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with my friends. I turned into a movie geek ever since last summer. Wala kasi magawa.
I wanted to watch Pride and Prejudice, the Keira Knightley one. Sad to say, it wasn't shown in the Philippines. I love reading books and watching the movie adaptations.
The computer still doesn't have an Anti-Virus. What the heck?! Later na me mag-download. It's so tagal, grabe!
I can't wait until November 7th. Ewan ko, there is some kind of excitement.
Later...
