Invictus

by: William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903

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 unbowed.

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.

• 12:23 Trying to recover Kuya Beng's Hard Drive Data
• 17:21 Data recovery... Done (and some SC4 levels too). Now to reinstall their PC and do some reading in the process.
• 20:24 its official. the hard drive is dead. let's see if I can install an OS on a USB Mass Storage, if not, mag live CD na lang sya ng knoopix.
• 23:39 I therefore conclude it's not possible to install XP on a USB & it's hard to get good connection to the Playstation Network. :( Off to sleep

The Road Not Taken

by: Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Helping Sam memorize this for school.

The Return

Sorry about the long silence. Nursing School was more difficult than I thought. Some random updates:

• just have 3 more 'terms' (summer, 1st sem and 2nd sem) to go before facing the Nursing License Exam (NLE).
• just moved back to my high school town. Purpose: support my brother and sister-in-law in their nursing studies while I also get reviewed for the NLE.

Hope to write some more... Good day to everyone.
