Wishful Thinking at 33

For the past two years, there’s no celebration or whatsoever on my b-day. November 30 is just too close to my sons December 9th b-day that I would rather spend for him. Just forget about the usual gathering I had in the past or beer drinking session with my friends. Sorry guys!

With the evolution of our surroundings, from El niño phenomenon to climate change, I considered myself half dead at 33.

In this time, where a possibility of computers taking over the whole world, the last of the Moses clan is nearing its end.

In spite of this, I’m still very optimistic of my future not only for myself but for my family. I list down some of my simple dreams. Some are weird while some can be achieved.

Let’s browse down;

1. A tour around Liverpool England where my favourite band Beatles originates.

2. A courtside ticket in one of Cleveland Cavaliers game (of course to had a closer look at Lebron James).

3. To do a documentary about how the less fortunate people go through their everyday life and expose how much politicians earn during their term in office, illegal money in particular.

4. A conversation with former Senate President Jovito Salonga.

5. To own a 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo.

6. One night with Megan Fox.
