Dreamy times

Many of us people, we have dreams. I have dreams. I always think of them. I keep on dreaming of the things  I want to achieve in my life. Sometimes, it's hard to disclose them to other people. Other people might think that you think of yourself so highly when you dream so high. I don't care. I dream, for free.

I want to go places, to many place. First, I want to travel around the Philippines. I want to go back to Ilocos. The place is so clean. I could hardly see any slum houses in the high way. Houses are pretty, it's like only rich people reside in Ilocos. The mountains are green. Then there was a place where sunflowers were grown, it's so pretty. The air is clean. The beaches are enticing, they look so virgin. You can hardly get tired of the road trip, because of the beautiful views.

I want to go to Palawan, in both El Nido and Coron. I also want to go shopping in Metro Manila. I want to skate in Mall of Asia. I will go to Camiguin and bring home one bottle of white sand. You know, I always dream of bringing empty bottles to white beaches, and collecting white sand from those. I would line the fill-up bottles and label them with the names of the white beaches where they've come from. I also want to see Chocolate Hills. I want to see the Sunken Cemetery.

Then, I will tour Asia. Hong Kong Disneyland would be my first stop. Next would be Macau. I will go shopping. I will then go to Universal Studios, Singapore. Then I would go to Japan to have my picture taken with the cherry blossoms.

I want to go further. I want to come to Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Spain. I want to go to Netherlands, Switzerland, and Scottland. I also want to tour the United States. New York City, I wouldn't miss it!

Travel would be an expense, but it's one of my dreams and I know that even if I spend a fortune, it'll all be worth it.

I also want to have my own dream house built. It's gonna have that modern vibe, and it'll have the American home comfort appeal. There's gonna be green grasses around it, a kidney-shaped pool, and a porch where I can hang-out with a good book and a cup of coffee.

I'm gonna have two cars. Or maybe one car and a van. A small car to tour around town and get me to and fro work or drop the kids to school then pick 'em up after.

I want to have a great job that doesn't feels like work. Something that I'd love to be doing that they're gonna have to remind to me retire when I'm 65. I want to write books that would touch other people's lives. I want to show everyone that books will never ever be outdated by anything, not even information from the internet. I want to show people the power of words, that it can heal, it can make things move, and that it can keep people going.

I want to be able to do happy groceries, movies, and road trips on weekends. I want good friends I can tag along. And I want the full support of my family when it comes to personal decisions that I'm going to make. And I want godly wisdom that'll give joy and peace to my heart.

Let us all dream. :))

Sunshine today

Every once in a while in our lives, we have to feel the pain of letting things go. Sometimes it's even the hardest part of our lives. That feeling. It's when you've come to that routine and suddenly, just suddenly it wouldn't be the same way again.

Just this morning, I saw my ex with his new girlfriend. Of course, it hurts. Why wouldn't it be? What's even more painful is that I saw him smile at her. She has made him happy the way I wasn't able to. It hurts so bad.
The pain of regrets and longing rushed in like a tsunami.

If I will continue to think about it, nothing good will happen to me. But if I think positively, if I look at the sunshine, and do the things that will do good to me, then things will get better.

After the incident, I've decided to think more about the things that matter. To see the brighter side of things. To help myself out of all the pains of moving on. If looking back will give me pain, then I just have to avoid it. And then it's a brighter day.

Summer unfun

It's summer. I'm so bored. It's so hot. I want to have fun, of whatever sort it could be(eat, shop, stroll, travel, etc.)! I have bought two magazines just for this month, and I've not even ready any of them fully.

I'm glad I have summer school. Without it, I could have been suffocated with summer loneliness. Speaking of, midterm examinations is on Monday. Haven't studied that much, but passed my eyes over so much already. I stopped due to head ache. The heat's scorching. The heat's suffocating. Every time I wake up, my head aches. uggh

I think some of the things which would cheer me up today are:

1. money (lots of this)
2. halo - halo
3. pizza
4. spicy siomai
5. ice cream
6. shopping spree
7. grocery spree
8. the beach
9. new books

Vegetable woman

                The day was breaking when an old woman placed a 2-meter length of stick behind her neck. On each side hanged baskets of vegetables she would be taking to the market. Around her waist is a bag where a pen, a piece of paper, and some coins are contained.

                The old woman walked half an hour to the market. She hasn’t eaten breakfast yet, not even drank coffee. It was not a good day, yesterday. Her luck for the today, whether it be good or bad will deliver her to tomorrow. She has eight children, two dogs, four cats, and her husband’s mouth to feed.

                She sits down the same pavement every day and it is hot as usual. As the sun rises and heats the cement where her goods lay, she patiently waits for buyers. One middle-aged woman purchases her cabbage. A man riding a bike passes and buys carrots.  

                The day ends. The stick is placed again behind her neck, this time lighter. The bag on her waist is happy.
