Words Straight from the Heart
Saturday Night Realizations about Life, Passion & All things Wonderful!
But with a few turnaround of events in the past few days, I guess I would like to start anew.
"I've been thinking about writing this for several weeks now and only until this very moment that I've got the inspiration and the drive to do so. I just feel so grateful for everything that's happening in my life - in the present moment, and I know beautiful things are on their way right now especially for every person who have such faith and determination to make their lives better and more meaningful each day! That's why I would like to share with you some thoughts, realizations, dreams, aspirations which give me enough reason to wake up. Thanks to my wonderful family who is always there to support me no matter what. If not for them Thanks to those random people that I get to talk to every single day who share their wonderful life stories and who also have the time to listen to my adventures as well. :) This will be quite different from the previous travel & pastry blogs that I've posted -"
You might have a lot of thoughts are in my head right now, like
What do I really want in life?
Who do I want to be?
How would my life turn out 5 years,
10 years from now?
Don't worry cause if I got my numbers correct from the 2nd Presidential debate, there are more than 23 million unemployed people here in the US who probably would be asking the same question, trying to have a sense of direction in their lives. Please include me in the list too cause every day, I try to make a conscious effort to finally have concrete and solid answers to such cause these are questions that only us, ourselves, are capable of answering. We might get some advice from a few close friends, from family, even from random people, but in the end, it's those little choices that I make in life that will eventually give us answers.
So let me share with you one important thing that I realize so far, while I am presently away from my family and my so-called "comfort zone", is you really don't have to find yourself in this world cause every single day, those little choices that you make, knowingly and unknowingly, continuously build up to that person who you are today. I know I still have a lot of things to experience in this world and definitely not in the best position to say such things, but hard headed as I am, I guess I still would! :)
Before graduation, I had always wanted to go somewhere soooo farawaaay(literally!) and have some soul searching to "find myself" in this world. Maybe because when you're young, you just want to do everything and feel that you can conquer the world!(HELL YEAH I STILL BELIEVE IN THAT THOUGH!) I wanted to be a diplomat, to set up my own cute little pastry shop as well, be able to travel the world, and even have my own show! When I think of them, I can't help but think how ambitious I am right now! hahahaha! Well the list doesn't end there cause I wanted to escape the familiar too(until now I do! :D) and thus my persistence and countless arguments eventually led me to experience how it is to live here in DC. I do have to thank my parents for allowing me and Auntie Alexie for treating me as a young adult who has the ability to make her own choices and learn from first-hand experience . She gave me the liberty to do anything I want and I can say that I'm really thankfuuul for her doing that. And so far in my stay here, I've got to taste bits and pieces of what professors would always tell their students of that world outside those four corners of a classrom - REALITY. And I would really love to elaborate more on that but I guess a separate blog post would be more appropriate given the length of every exciiitiiing experience that I would share! I swear I don't even know where to start!
Remember when older people would always tell us that life is hard, and we would just brush them off cause we're having the time of our lives - having fun in school, going out with friends, partyiiiing, just name it all! :) hahahha! Well I guess they're riiight! Idealistic as I may be with everything, I guess they're pretty much being honest when they said that! I realized that you really HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE AND NOT LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING SWAY YOU AWAY FROM THAT DIRECTION. Easier said that done, right?
So do you know what and who you want to be?
Well, right now, if you're going to ask me, from the bottom of my heart, from all the things that I experienced so far, what I really want is to set up my own cute pastry shop someday wherein I'll sell Princess cupcakes, Royal Icing Cookies and even QueenBee Cakes(FANCY NAMES HUH? :D) in a castle like bakeshop...and every single girl will feel like a little princess - just as how they think of themselves whenever they watch Cinderallaaa, Snow Whiiite or whoever Disney princess that they aspired to be before. Well for boys, I'll make them feeel liiike..uhm. well aside from being a little prince haha. I'm still working on how I can conceptualize that though! :) I dunno, it's just that it brings me immense happiness to see people happy with the things that I baake. :) I know a lot of people share the same passion that I have and I would really love to hear some advice from you on this matter. :)))
Oh and by the way, whoever might be reading this, I would like to let you know that I'm an AB Consular & Diplomatic Affairs graduate(that explains why I wanted to be a diplomat too!), and you might think that I may be crazy cause I want to pursue a completely different direction. :)
Well, if you come to think of it, I guess I AM. YES, I THINK I AM CRAZY. CRAZY ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY, I WILL MAKE SUCH DREAM TURN INTO REALITY.
I'll be taking a really huge risk on this one but I know it's gonna be worth a TRY. :)
