Last year, I attended the World Youth Day Cross vigil here in Cagayan de Oro. The cross was en route to Sydney, Australia for the World Youth Day 2008. I dream of attending the event.
Last year, I wanted to attend a solitary retreat for my birthday.
This year, I would have loved to attend the three-day stay-in holy week retreat sponsored by Xavier University.
In kindergarten, I wrote "Doctor" as my ambition in our yearbook. In elementary, I wrote "Physical Therapist". In senior year high school, I wrote "Accountancy" as my first choice on what course to take. In college, I finished "Computer Science".
From when I was seven until I was nine, I used to draw stick drawings that to me passed as "movie posters" on a cardboards. Now I have this secret ambition of writing a novel. Could I ever achieve this?
In college, I told myself that I would write computer games for a living. Now I write business applications.
We were close. And then far. We connected. And then lost touch.
I dreamt. And then hoped. Changed my mind. And then hoped.
Life is more than a journey. It's a chase. May I gain speed as I grow. And so may you.
God speed.
