Love notes from my kids

To Risk

by William Arthur Ward

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.

To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.

To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.

He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.

Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.

The pessimist complains about the wind;

The optimist expects it to change;

And the realist adjusts the sails.

I fell in love with a PANDA :)

He is the cutest and most innocent looking panda I have ever seen :)

Define 'HONORS'

I AM WRITING THIS OUT OF IMPULSE.

I am quite disappointed with what's happening in the Xavier Honors' Dormitory for Ladies. I don't know what kind of formation was given to them but what I am seeing now is all BS.

It was two weeks ago when someone approached me and informed me that a 'conflict' was budding in the dormitory. The culprit? The same old people who were consistent violators. I tried to talked to the aggrieved and she was very honest with what happened. The next thing I knew, I have been hearing comments lang 'ang kapal naman ng mukha ni mam tin sa pagtext kang mga rules, dai mi man ngani sya nakakaiba'. Yes, their basis now of rules formulation is how frequent we spend time together.

I am GREATLY disappointed. I wonder what happened to the so-called 'formation' of our dormers. To think that they are 'honors' dormers'. I can't even believe that I had to sacrifice my family for this.

I am ANGRY.
