I am so depreived of sleep.
Pillows, I can't wait to hold you!

My write-up for the yearbook! Tsk.
A woman embodied with graceful disposition and talent, with a heart that is genuine and deeply appreciative of life. Aileen is a faithful friend who never fails to put a smile on our faces and makes us laugh with her witty remarks. She is very much a well-rounded person who lives her dreams by cherishing every moment which gives her an opportunity to grow and connect with people. Her interest with so many things both subtle and deep makes her a person who loves knowledge and experience. After graduating, she will venture into the medical field - a dream she has nurtured since childhood. Aileen wants to do so many things - be a doctor, lawyer, and neurosurgeon, help out people especially her schizoid brother. She thrives on being of service to others. Thus, her motto, "You have not lived until you've done something to someone who can never repay you." But, above all things, Aileen is a loving daughter of the Almighty, and it is her faith in God which really gives meaning to her life.

I've been researching about Pacem in Terris, an encyclical of Pope John XXIII, and I was strucked by this thought:
The world will never be the dwelling place of peace, till peace has found a home in the heart of each and every man, till every man preserves in himself the order ordained by God to be preserved.
That is why St. Augustine asks the question: "Does your mind desire the strength to gain the mastery over your passions? Let it submit to a greater power, and it will conquer all beneath it. And peace will be in you—true, sure, most ordered peace. What is that order? God as ruler of the mind; the mind as ruler of the body. Nothing could be more orderly."
