Looking Forward

Yay, summer!

I graduated four months ago but I'm joining the Graduation March this March 25th.

We're inducting new members in our Mountaineering Society this March 28th. We're traversing Mt. Ugo, from Kayapa, Nueva Viscaya down to Itogon, Benguet. We're staying at Baguio for a few days after that. Then, I'm planning to go with Issah to their province, Nueva Ecija. I would need at least 3000Php for the the traverse and a few hundred bucks for Nueva Ecija, Baguio and pasalubongs.

My Grandma is coming home this summer. They are going to Bicol and surely stopping by to go wakeboarding in CWC CamSur. I might go with them. I'm also thinking about spelunking. I remember Rubilyn, whose family hails from Bicol, telling me about the caves in Bicol. And I think it's safe to climb Mt. Mayon. No signs of erupting anytime soon. Yum-yum.

PinoyMountaineer is leading 2 Mt. Pinatubo tours on 29th of March and 25th April. I have always wanted to climb Pinatubo. Fell in love the first time I saw it on tv then I read this feature on the newspaper. This trip would cost me 2000Php.

Nestea Beach Volleyball in Bora? Nah. Can't afford that yet. Some people I know are participating and some are coming as spectators. I wanted to too but I don't want it that bad so, I don't mind skipping this one. And it's not like I have beach bod to flaunt when I go there.

Palawan sounds enticing. Royce, one of my fellow mountaineers live there and is always inviting people to go to their place in Culion, Palawan. I've only seen it in pictures but I will definitely go there one of these days.

My friend, Norman, told me about this tour package to Caramoan Island, also in CamSur. Three days and two nights of pure island adventure: island hopping [2 islands], camping, trekking, cultural shows and tours, complete meals and transprtation from Manila to CamSur and back. All for 3000Php. May 1 to 3. How good can summer get?

As fun as these all sound, I have one slight problem...

WALA PA AKONG PERA

What to do? What to do? Manghihingi na lang ako. Hahahaha. I don't even have my own backpack yet. Job hunting is not really an option this Month because I'll be busy regarding the preparations for Graduation and potential employers are... I don't know.  I guess my heart just isn't where it should be. I maybe applying for a job but it's not really what I want to do, what I'm meant to do. I think I know where my heart is. I just have to go there and be one with my heart. Then I'll be happy.

I'm planning something big, career-wise. I'm not sure yet how things will work out for me. How big? Cross-continent big. I'm crossing my fingers, and I'm crossing 'em real tight.

My hero once said, don't be afraid to dream big. And you know what, I am dreaming big right now. How far I can take this, how far my dream will take me: I have no idea. Despite my uncertainties, the only thing that I am certain about, I will go as far as I can.

The greater plan has not yet unfolded but the bigger dream is coming clear.

As to how it would be achieved and when, I am clueless. Nevertheless, I am getting there. I am taking my time as all things must. I have only dreamt it and have only dreamt of wanting it this bad. It's funny why it takes so much to remember what you've realized a long time ago. It's coming back to me and it's coming clear.

If I will ever see it as I have imagined it, I can never be sure.
