My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 34 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

While the boys were singing karaoke one night, I was dreaming about leather boots, wool coat, cashmere sweat shirt, and a black soft leather bag.

When I started paying my taxes, I promised myself to refrain from buying things that I know I can live without (well, even if I don't promise myself, there's no way I can buy stuff now as I still have to save for my Mom's allowance). Wool coats cost at least less than $200 (the one in the photo costs something like $500 that even if I am working in IT and earning what I should really be earning, I'd think a thousand times to buy it!). Cashmere sweat shirts cost at least $40 (from the thrift shop that I know), the bag that I saw in eBay, I could bid for at least $35.99 (if you're lucky to win the bidding, plus shipping) and the boots would cost around $200.

My friend kept asking me what I want for my birthday and for Christmas. I believe I should want what I truly need. I can't think of anything right now. All I can do is dream on and be thankful-- really be grateful that God has given me a job and people to provide what I need. And for these people, I am really thankful. It just feels good to dream on sometimes. I am sure I'd get the things I want when I get the chance to save again.
