dreams, crystalized and revised.

to belong to the twenty-something crowd is crazy. not in a bad way though, i say a plesant crazy way. 

as john ryan recabar (one of the best and extinct men bloggers i follow) put it, “we are in such a perfect time to commit mistakes for we can always reason out “hey! i’m only twenty-something”. so why don’t we risk, commit mistake for we are in the best time of our lives to learn lessons from flops done and still get away with it with a smile.”

being twenty-something is equally the best time of dreaming tall dreams, having multiple plans, as many as we can, as much as our minds can conceive, and uncaring whether they are all parallel or not, doable or otherwise; for twenty-somethings don’t have a concept of impossible.

i had that realization since i started creating my dreams one after the other, scrapping off some later on, and making new ones over and over again. and it feels good doing that, dreaming, then planning the best course of action to take in achieving them.

on a superficial level, i dream of having my own macbook air laptop. i even promised myself that i won’t settle on anything else. but to have a laptop is an immediate necessity for me (i want to be able to blog often, and probably get an online-home-based job) and i still don’t have enough resources to acquire my dream one. so i concede, i consider getting a sony vaio netbook instead. my macbook dream will take a backseat for a while.

on a more serious and long-term note, i dream of enrolling in graduate school this year, get my master’s degree in language education, continue my tutorial job, eventually put up my own tutorial center, with ate and/or my friend joicee, save up, continue making mutual fund investments, drop off being an employee to any company, and become an entrepreneur.

until..

..recently there is an open opportunity and possibility of working in singapore. and i started reconsidering things and tweaking my dreams and plans this way and that. and i realized that the adjustments just fit. i’ll be able to save-up quicker, and aim for my original dreams in lesser time. 

so yes, i'll change course. 

and i'll celebrate my being twenty-something.

and i'll never get tired of dreaming and aiming.
