Reaching for the Star



When I was a kid I dreamed of reaching the sky and touching the stars and riding the clouds but I knew in my mind that it would never happen. I knew,in my mind, the margin that separates fiction and reality. Though no one told me about that,I just knew. However, I kept on dreaming about those things while thinking someday,somehow,it would happen. But there are really things that no matter how hard you tried to make them happen or how hard you prayed for them,won't really happen. And so,it became just a dream forever. And my dreams were one of them.

Now,I am older, I have a dream. I want to have a post-graduate degree...away from my home - in Manila.I planned everything I had to plan,packed things I need to bring and saved money I will be needing for that.In simplest words,"I am prepared". But it seemed fate wouldn't let me to go.

I have read the book 'The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. If I remember it right,a king said in that story that if you really wanted something and prayed hard for it,the universe would conspire to help you achieved it but why was it that the universe was holding and driving me away from my dream.Could it be that something better is in store for me?I hope there is. But I will still continue praying. I still have 3 days to go. I hope God permits it to happen.
