CRYSTAL BALL, revised.

What does the future hold for me?

I have so many things planned for my life. In fact, it's blown out of proportion since I have no idea of how I could get to that point. Let me tell you about my dreams. Who knows, you may have the same dream as mine.

I'm not such a big fan of the 8-5 thing. I don't want my life to turn into a monotonous routine, I tell you, I will die in that environment. I don't want to get stuck in a corporate rut either.

I've always had this thing for field work, or whatever you call it. Which means that being a lifestyles TV host is one of my dream jobs. Like what Oli Pettigrew does for Sony Style (AXN), isn't that the life? Traveling the world, eating weird & good food, discovering gadgets, music, movies and events, and you get paid, for crying out loud. What could you ask for?

I never ever left the country, EVER. My mom being so kind said that she'll try to send me to Australia when I'm done with school or when my cousins arrive there, whichever comes first. I'll be living with them for a while. Now, that can be adventure. My cousins from this side of the family loves road trips and stuff which is so much fun. My cousins from the other side (father's) live in Australia too, but it would require a 6-hour plane ride to get to them from my other cousins. Ha!

I want to live in a condominium somewhere in Makati, since I feel like it's our local take of New York. I've been eyeing The Loft in Rockwell. I also want to buy my mother a house, somewhere laid-back and fun, I've been eyeing Westgrove but my mom doesn't seem to be entertained with the idea of big houses, so we'll see. I also want to live in New York, eventually. I just find it so exciting. Okay, so a part of me wants to be Carrie Bradshaw or the Upper East Side girls, but whatever. I want New York.

I loved Advertising and the grueling work they have there. All the secret accounts and the brainstorming, ahhh, it makes me feel like its an adventure even if its a corporate job. Hey, Advertising people of Manila get to go to Bora once in a while just to attend an awards show like Kidlat.

I want to be a photographer at some point, but that's just minor.

I love JR Isaac's job. Yes, he is my godfather and at some point I look up to him. The life he has, it seems so fun. He also gets to travel, go to events and such because he writes about them. I find that exciting. And also magazine work, (since JR works on magazines I figured this would fall under this category) I love magazine work, fashion of course. Ahh, it makes me feel like I'm on the set of Devil Wears Prada.

Oh, oh! Have I told you that I wanted to study again? Probably abroad. Hopefully, abroad. I just like it, I mean, I'm still young and studying seems like a good and enriching option. I wanna experience Uni life out there. 'Coz mine felt like high school. HAHA. 

At one point, I also have tons of cars. I like cars. I want to drive, fast!

Media may have played a big part in this, making me think that these dreams do look that way in real life. But I want to figure it out myself. You get me? I want to have fun and be filthy rich (HAHAHA)!

Now, I only have the rest of the summer or less to figure out where I would do my OJT. I'm still torn between magazine work and advertising work. What should I do for the rest of my life?
I have so many things running in my head and I can't figure things out just yet. I hope it works out well.

Now, what does the future hold for you?
