Don't Stop believing!

It's ironic to see how you can summarize your 19 months of life in two huge cargo boxes. How you can simply put them altogether inside, seal them and head somewhere for a while. 

I intend to travel light. I can stay in my right frame of mind just with my basic survival kit : a good book, a pen and paper and a lipstick , at least give me a weapon to stay nice.
I hardly slept last night, but let me rephrase that,  I have not been sleeping before last night and the nights before those nights. You see, the point of having this two-week vacation extravaganza is to stretch my energy level 'til its last drop in pursuing pleasure in its most wholesome and non-addictive way.

Flying to Doha and back gives me the creeps. Going back memory lane in '07 I took my 2nd international flight out home. With a little money in my  pocket, a BIG dream in mind, and lots of Courage I decided to take the Leap of FATE. It was not a smooth ride most definitely. And yet here I am  after all these years I was able to land with my two feet.

They say that life is a series of arrivals and departures , a continuous cycle, an evolution of who we are as human beings but without the right attitude and the right people behind our back certainly we won't be able to reach our desired destination. And of course having someone beside us when we hit some bumpy air comes as a bonus or a must if we got lucky. Truly it's the journey itself that makes it more memorable rather than having that dream right at the palm of your hand.

And I feel so grateful for each day. No matter how simple or chaotic there's always some valuable lesson worth keeping.

One thing life has taught me over the years is Patience. If we want something so desperately we should have the tenacity to get it, to play around time until we have it. I know that it's not a walk in the park to wait. I don't like it until I learned to be creative while pursuing something worth having, whether it's the dream job or love.

There's so much out there. We have time in our hands. And I never intend to miss any chance. For maybe one moment you missed you cannot get back again. What is certain today may not be there tomorrow.

Thailand was my first flight outside my home country. I remember my nineteen year-old self who was watching the Flight Attendant taking care of each of the passengers. I was still in school and went on tour just because my studies requires it. But I can vividly remember how I felt that day, how I fell in-love with the idea of discovering life one day at a time, to meet new people and learn different cultures and understand better my purpose for being here on Earth. As she handed me the warm towel I did whisper a prayer in the wind. It took time I know but I claim that prayers will never go unanswered  and now I got it after all...
