If my mom is right that I could have everything that I dream of when I'm with Uncle Sam, then I'm going to live my dream-- No more, no less. And that includes having my own garden filled with flowering plants, bushes, vines, and trees. Some rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and dogs. Okay, I am exaggerating. But those are some options. Never mind if I have a green thumb or not (haven't proven it yet). I will have my own garden in the U.S.. I'll buy some pots and soil if I have to. I promise. Then if I have my own place, I could adopt a dog. Then we could jog in the park and go to the beach to run and play catch on weekends. Ahhh... I will adopt a dog. Then I'll get some rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks and let them wander in my garden. But first, I gotta work my *ss out, get a car, and pay all my debts. My running debt is around $10,000 as of this writing. I am such a liability to anyone right now and being one is no fun. *Argh!* Well, people say, you can't live in the U.S. without a debt. We (JS, B and I) were just talking about this over dinner (my first time to dine at Contis-- I ran straight from the gym when they said they're in Greenhills) and coffee (the usual Starbucks in Greenhills) last night. We'll see. Hmmm.. When did I learn to manage my money, anyway? Right. I have to if I want my debts to be paid ASAP. JS said that's possible in six months. We'll see. ... then I could get my own place and have my own garden. Then I could get a dog, some rabbits, and probably some domesticated squirrels and chipmunks. Wait, I'll be coming home in three years. To whom am I going to leave my forest while I am away? Maybe I should just find a job at a nearby botanical garden or a zoo-- if there is one (if I have to get a license for this, I'll do it!). But first, I gotta take a plane ride to what my mom calls, the land where all my dreams will come true. "Sleep and rest all you want now, Mae. You will never be able to do those two again..." Hmmm... I don't think so. With conviction, I've said, no more no less, I will live my dream. And having enough (or at least a satisfactory) sleep is one of my dreams right now. Are you implying that I'm going to fail on that? Ahhh... I wish I will never utter the words, "I'm tired", ever again. Dream on, Mae. Gotta stop thinking about my garden, my dog, rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks now. I am leaving for Pangasinan in a few hours. But let me take a nap first. [To the E!s, give Yabz a hug for me. I will miss everyone this Saturday.] |
