We all have many dreams we want to reach. By achieving one doesn’t mean we should stop. Yes, the life we have personally together with our newly built is already stable, for now. What about the parents and siblings we left behind? They were there when we could not stand on our own feet. They made a huge impact on what we become right now. Abandoning them after we reach our desired life status is like forgetting them. We are not obliged to do so because we didn’t ask them. However, repaying their kindness with kindness will make us a good man.
Almost 2 years ago when I started living on my own with my wife. Even if I’m not we are not rich, there was no time that we had no food on the table. Also, I’m still thankful that we could buy the things we wanted and we needed. Not all of it of course, but at least not to the point that we envied other people of having the things we should have.
It was Christmas, yeah just this past Christmas when I went home. I’m fully aware that mother and my siblings didn’t starve themselves. Although, there was another thing that was bothering me and I think touched me. After the typhoon Odette bombarded our house maybe 3 years ago, our house became new again. It’s just that, it was not finished. The house stands and is closed if you look from the outside but unlike the others. I noticed how it looked inside, it was not finished like only one room specifically built for my mom.
It’s just sad to see that her room doesn’t have a door or should we say it was not that closed. She is feeling cold every night even though it’s a bother for her to change bed every night. She doesn’t have a choice but to do so because she told me she could not bear the coldness when she wanted to sleep. Upon hearing it, I felt like my heart was pierced and without thinking about my current situation. I promised her that I would fix her room.
That gave me the realization of what I needed to do. I know the store can not carry my obligation to that because it’s the one that is feeding us and some needs every day. That’s why I decided to have a side income. An online job is preferable since I’m watching over the store everyday. Yes, blogging is my best option for now, I’ve been in the world of blogging for maybe 5 years already. Even though it doesn’t pay that much, at least there’s a small penny I could earn little by little.
Yeah, I’m determined to be back or more active in blogging for now. I have a project I must achieve and I must because I love my mother and I don’t want her to suffer. Maybe a store could help me even just a little. My writing will be my key to make it happen. But if there’s another job I can apply to, if it’s an online job why not. There’s a store that is growing so I must not leave it until it becomes more stable than it is now.

This was the successful distribution of school supplies at Anislagon Elementary School.
This was my previous post about asking for support for school supplies.

ABOUT ME
Paul is the name but prefers to be called mrnightmare that feels like living in the dream. A country boy and a dreamboy (dreamer) who likes to stay in a small village even though it means abandoning the future to become a seaman. The passion is writing but not sailing in the vast ocean. Don't wonder if the face will not be shown, this is better where the words can flow smoothly. Come, you can tell me your stories and I'll tell you mine. Together, let's explore the world by broadening our thoughts. If you need a shoulder I can lean you mine and I hope I can lean yours. The world is fun when living is not being alone but with someone.
