My older brother gave me a tip on how to make a dream come true, or perhaps how to make it less costly. You can buy a TV at the port area for nearly 1/10th of the cost. I thank the Japanese for shipping out what they might’ve thought as crappy surplus appliances, and the streetwise Filipinos at the Pier who sold what we consider out here in the third world as “luxury” items. I’ve been dreaming of having a flat panel, wide screen TV and I gawk at the showrooms at the mall. Although it didn’t meet my 40” minimum, and it wasn’t flat, it was the closest I could get. It made conquer yet another little dream.
With my one-month hiatus from working, I’ve somehow achieved all these little dreams, as well as my whims, even caprices. All these nights out, all the money splurged on food, dating and booze. I nearly drained the savings account.
I’m inclined to feel empty now that I’ve had the little dreams I have left.
