Okay, so Hayden Kho launched his perfume line just recently and I'm gushing at the fact that he's back smiling at the limelight.

And here he is now. Fragrant as ever with his perfume collection. I bumped into pictures over Chuvaness' page and I suddenly felt an air of nostalgia.

I suddenly remembered my dreams. I suddenly remembered everything that I chose to forget.I dreamt of making a name for myself some day so that my parents will get something out of their laborious efforts in sending me to school, feeding me more than three meals a day, and providing me a life that's more than comfortable. I wanted their eyes brimming with tears --- extremely joyful and proud at their famous daughter.
Everything nice I planned in college had to take a backseat for some lame reason. Love. Hah.
Now that love's robbed me of my youth and time, I just can't find the confidence I need to be more than the ordinary. I learned to settle for less, withdraw from the rest of the world, and smirk at the thought that I can be famous someday. All I know is that I can no longer be the girl my mom and dad can really be proud of.

I have my license as a physiotherapist. I have a good job. I've never been put through such public scandal. I have the best people (whom I've shut out from my life) to support me despite my life's downfalls. Well, what do you know, I'm luckier than Hayden Kho! I've no excuse for not dreaming my dream!
The plans may have been put on hold for quite some time now but it's not enough reason to completely abandon the dream. Yes, I will be famous. I dream of discovering medical breakthroughs or becoming a really great entrepreneur. Get me a male Vicki Belo to hold hands with and I may be able to expedite things.
Seriously, it all starts with knowing that YOU CAN. To consider what you've always wanted as a kid, and to finally remember the dream that you once chose to forget.
Aww, Arj. You can do it and you will make a name for yourself. :)
I kinda feel the same way as you do though. :-/
Thanks for the vote of confidence pammy. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you this week! :)
let's talk about our dreams!!!
gurl, kaya mo yan! gooo!!!
thanks much Crystal! i hope to see you soon!
I don't personally know you, but speaking as a parent, short of murdering them, there's really not much they cannot forgive, and I'm sure that whatever disappointment you think you may brought to them, they are proud of you. And you don't even need a male Vicki Belo to jumpstart your life.
