“We read to know that we are not alone.”
—C.S. Lewis
“A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”
—Franz Kafka
“I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”

"Mangyari Lamang" ni Rico Abelardo
Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nagmamahal
Nang makita ng lahat ang mukha ng pag-ibig
Ipamalas ang tamis ng malalim na pagkakaunawaan
Sa mga malabo ang paningin.Mangyari lamang na tumayo rin ang mga nagmahal at nasawi
Nang makita ng lahat ang mga sugat ng isang bayani
Ipadama ang pait ng kabiguan
Habang ipinagbubunyi ang walang katulad na kagitingan ng isang nagtaya.Mangyari lamang ay tumayo ang mga nangangambang magmahal
Nang makita ng lahat ang kilos ng isang bata
Ipamalas ang katapatan ng damdamin na pilit ikinukubli
Ng pusong lumaki sa mga engkanto’t diwata.Mangyari lamang na tumayo ang nagmahal, minahal at iniwan, ngunit handa pa ring magmahal
Nang makita ng lahat ang yaman ng karanasan
Ipamalas ang katotohanang nasaksihan
Nang maging makahulugan ang mga paghahagulhol sa dilim.At sa mga nanatiling nakaupo
Mangyari lamang ay dahan-dahang tumalilis palabas sa nakangangang pinto
Umuwi na kayo!
At sumbatan ang mga magulang na nagpalaki ng isang halimaw.At sa lahat ng mga nakaiwang nakatayo
Mangyari lamang na hagkan ang isa’t isa, at yakapin ang mga sugatan
Mabuhay tayong lahat na nagsisikap makabalik sa ating pinagmulan
Manatiling masaya, at higit sa lahat, magpatuloy sa pagmamahal.——————————————————————————————-
A beautiful Tagalog poem read to us today by our Theology professor, Bobby Guev. May we never forget what truly matters in life.
There are only a few teachers I’ve encountered in university who truly made an impact on my life. Bobby Guev, for all his difficult quizzes and mind-blowing tests, certainly did and still continues to do so. As he was reading this poem during the opening prayer for our Theology 141 class earlier today, I looked to my side and saw @teamfrankiee tear up. I have to admit that I did, too. This man gave me the kind of legendary Ateneo education I have always wanted to experience, and for this I am truly grateful.
“If you’re going to be idealistic in life, you’re going to be disappointed, but that’s not a reason to abandon idealism.”

Here’s a tip for the do-it-yourself crowd:
Go to your computer’s Start menu, and either go to
“run” or just search for “cmd.”
Open it up, and type in “ping [website address],”
Once you have the IP for a website, all you really
need to do is enter it like you would
a normal URL nd hit enter/press go. Typing in
“208.85.240.231”
should bring you to the front page of AO3,
for example, just as typing “174.121.194.34/dashboard”
should bring you straight to your Tumblr dashboard.
Since we’re obviously bracing for the worst case scenario
which would involve you not being
able to access the internet regularly, you should,
save this list.Dear Tumblr-ers, -ites, ettes, and whatever other things you may prefer,
Please reblog the crap out of this. Add to it if you feel there is stuff necessary but missing.
P.S. Thank you to the lovely who wrote this up.
“He does look really intimidating! There’s a three-year-old in me that’s going, ‘Oh my God, that’s Batman! That’s Batman and he’s going to hit me! But I love Batman!’ Then I look in the mirror. And I hit him back. Twice as hard.”
—Tom Hardy on fighting Batman (via youjusthitthejackpottiger)
This is a post about my feelings.
So much for my plans.
