A Glimpse of Me

I was never really good at saving money so that I could buy something for myself because it always turns out that I buy something for someone else. I think it’s a waste of money to buy clothes since someone else is buying for me and I do not really need a lot of clothes since we wear anything to school. But now I’m trying to save but I still do not know for what specifically. I’ve been thinking of the things I want to buy for myself but there are so many that my mind is in a jumble. Since I am quite obsessed with losing weight nowadays, I think I should buy herbal weight loss pills because it’s natural. But I don’t really need to save for that because it’s not that expensive and I’ve never tried it before so I’m quite scared.

Right now, my passion lies in reading and playing plants versus zombies and I don’t know if money really has something to do with those things. Maybe I should save for another trip to Guimaras because some of my friends are planning to go there. I don’t have the slightest idea what I’m saving for. The only important thing here is that I would learn to save for myself and buy things, things that would make me fly, with my own savings.

In one of my daydreams, I was working in an NGO with lots of children and at the same time studying. The setting is not in Philippines, but still somewhere in Asia. UN is my goal but it’s a very long journey before I get there. The problem lies in the time I spend working. I would like to work with a busy schedule and feel the fulfillment afterwards. Since I envision myself to be working steadfastly and my schedule would be hectic, I won’t have time taking my Master’s degree in Community Development or in Learning and Language Education. Then I recalled that my university offers distance learning program so I could always study abroad while working. I also looked up for the best online degrees in the internet to broaden my choices. One my plans are to work first so I can save money for my Master’s and gain experience before studying.

The drawback of daydreaming, aside from wasting my time, is that it does not work the way you want it to work. Not always. But I know that I have a goal and I am going to reach that goal.
