The Streams of Dreams

If I were to liken myself into anything in this world, I'd have to say, I am a wonderful portrait that shows a wide array of hues and forms. This is because, every time my mind isn't busy, I don't deprive myself of thinking some big things. I fill my mind with so many colorful imaginbations and I enjoy transforming myself into somebody else. I enjoy every minute of dreaming and imagining myself to be someone or something. Now, I have come to gain some confidence to put into writing what I had always been dreaming. I know it's fun although some may sound extremely funny (and impossible). Read on...

As I go out with my friends to enjoy some beer and nuts, I feel so jealous why they got those beautiful voices. And so, in my solitary hours, I always pretend to be Sarah Geronimo (if I were a girl) or at least, (take note, at least) Josh Groban or Martin Nievera. As I dream to become a caliber singer, I didn't mean to earn fame and glory. I intend to sing for kids inside my classroom. How I wished so much to really sing a song for them and see them so proud of me.

After my friend Farah passed the Bar, there was a little spark of desiring to become a lawyer. Honestly. However, it turned out to die a natural death because in one of our pizza-and-beer moments, I just found out that it's such a stressful job. I decided to quit. I learned that I should rationalize my choices.

Thanks to Mark Xander Fabillar for inviting me in his TV program @ Random. I had a wonderful experience with him in an interview. It was a spontaneous exchange of ideas. From that experience, I again dreamed of becoming a world-class talk show host just like Ellen and Oprah. I do. I really do. If it comes true, I am challenged to talk with my tact in. My tongue should be a channel of joy and comfort. My words shouldn't be like weapons that wound but heal and give life.

I also came to the point of dreaming to become a commercial model. (WHHHAAATTTTTTT???) Yeah. I did. How I imagined myself to be right in one of those billboards in EDSA. But it dawned to me that EDSA is quite far. I have my classroom where I can be a model not only for a minimal time frame but for eternity. I concluded, if I choose to do good and show this good thing to my kids, it will create ripples to them. It will eventually multiply. What else should I travel for?

You see, I am starting to get bored of enumerating my dreams. Owning a school, becoming a DepEd Secretary, winning an international public speaking tilt, and a whole lot more.

This I know is the sign of my celebration of humanity--in the streams of dreams!
