My Life's Dream

Now, most people do actually have one. And most people I've asked this question to, in moments of awkward silence or plain boredom, answer with either (1) a life partner (2) kids (3) a place to make a home with or (4) all of the above.

While that appeals to most people and that I have a healthy dose of respect for people who do have those domesticated goals. I, for the life of me, cannot see myself as having abovementioned dreams.

I don't hate them. And in fact, in the long run, I might just settle for those aspirations. But then comes the phrase "settle for." It sounds as if I had no other choice and this is what I'm left with. Which I sincerely hope would not and NEVER be the case.

But I digress....

What is my Life's Dream?

Good question. And I wish I had a decent answer. The closest thing to an answer I suppose would be to make something out this existence. What that "something" is I honestly don't know.

Maybe it's to make The Next Great Film.
Or to blow up a prominent Metro Manila structure (at least on film)...
Or maybe it's to cause some sensational scandal in politics...

Heck.... It's all up in the air.

But then again, to those that DO have their life dreams in check. I salute you.

To my fellow searchers, I can only say this:

IT'S OKAY TO BE A BUM.



REALLY... IT IS.

LEAST I THINK SO....
