Dreams Update: OCTOBER 2010

Bo Sanchez said that when he was younger, he wrote down all his dreams on a sheet of paper, and ended up with a 15-page document which he called Dreambook. Every morning, he would read it as part of his daily prayers. Among other things in his Dreambook, he wrote that he would like to become a best-selling author, a good husband, and a loving father. Now, he has written several best-selling books, and is happily married with two lovely kids.

Tonight, I’m doing the same thing. I’m making a Dreambook. But I’m not writing it. I’m typing it.

BTW, I turn 22 today. Praise be to God!

New Month’s Resolution

Because today is August 1st, I have a New Month’s Resolution:

I will stop complaining.

Instead, I’ll just grab every opportunity God throws at me to be kind to others.

Dreams Update: JANUARY 2010

Today, I still want to become a doctor (either an MD or a PharmD) and become a young millionaire. As much as possible, I want health and money to be the least of my problems. I also like the idea of having my own family in the future, but before that, I want to become really rich that I can travel the whole world and afford a ticket to every concert I’d like to attend.

While listening to Audrey and Kpop Lover’s conversation about Goldie’s parents last January 5, I suddenly came up with a very good reason on why I should become a doctor: It’s because I want to give my future children a good life, just like what Goldie has now.

I wish that I’d still be young by the time I became rich so I’d still have more time and strength to do anything I wanted to do with my life—take piano, violin and guitar lessons, learn different Asian languages, take my Mom and brother to Paris, build my own restaurant, donate a laboratory to my former school, establish my own scholarship foundation, et cetera.

To sum things up, my dreams for today all talk about money. Money, money, and more money. Money may not be the most important thing in the world, but it definitely affects the most important things in the world, just as a famous Filipino preacher had said.

New Year’s Resolution

When I was a kid, I always had a lot of New Year’s Resolutions. Then they got fewer and fewer every succeeding year. Maybe it was a sign of maturity. A person can say he’s already mature when he couldn’t think anymore of a New Year’s resolution. As for me, maybe I’m not mature enough for I can still think of one.

My New Year’s resolution for 2010 is that I will be more assertive and more honest with myself.

Happy 2010!
