The Tooth Fairy

Upon knowing about the bounty that awaits in exchange for a milk tooth, the 6-year-old nephew barely had any sleep waiting for the Tooth Fairy to come for his first incisor casualty.

As any child would need to sleep at some point, he drifted to dreamland and to his delight, found a candy bar tucked under his pillow the next day.

I am that 6-year-old kid today. Giddy, enthusiastic and hopeful. I always find birthdays a treat and barely manage to wait for it. I turn 29 today and I’m holding my breath for what lies ahead.

Treason to My Generation

Two of my friends posted this link on Facebook, figured it's worth reading.

While the author raised salient points that I feel aptly describes the world today, I have just one argument:

It is remiss not to give due credit to HARD WORK. 

Our parents did not stick to one job for the lack of options or because "the world has not opened up quite as easily" as it has now. They did because they value an age-old formula for success which, I argue, would still hold true generations after everything has been made so convenient/connected. They did because hard work-- or sticking it out patiently with one thing, knowing you get what you give-- is the best way to go.

I for one, will not make apologies for the conveniences of the modern world. They are for us to exploit. But I will also concede to the fact that those who took the back-breaking road have reaped wisdom no shortcuts, no technology, no sense of self-entitlement can ever teach.

The heart never sleeps, it just dreams

Ang galing lang. I believe-

Your dreams yesterday are still your dreams today. Some details may now seem irrelevant, or you may want different things altogether. Of course! We grow! But when you dig into the core of things, the motivation and guiding maxim in their most honest form are still the same.

We remain faithful to the dreams of our young hearts.
So here's to dreaming, wanting new things, and getting them exactly. :)
