Good Morning Everyone,
i am planning to do the most craziest and fearful dream i have ever imagined before i turn 50 years old. And i am going to start it soon before December 31 on my 48th Birthday.
I am sharing this not to brag but to just see if this can help someone out there who have a dream and they forgot about it already. So starting today i will post the BEGINNING of this BIGGEST DREAM i have encounter in my life. This reminds me to not forget about this dream which i started when i first got to America back in 2013 and my good friend Peter & Giovanna invited me to stay in their flat in 23rd New York City. I have no money to travel to New York, i only have 5 Dollars with me which i already use to pay the Air-train going to Times Square. good thing that i have a back up fund and it's more or less $10 worth of coins i collected on my first visit in the US on 2012. I cameback on 2013 and took a flight to New York on December 24...yes it was a crazy decision, i could not plan things beforehand, and i am getting more afraid to do what i can about this crazy dream that i do not even know what exactly was, i just jump in the plane and trust the excitement i have in my heart. I realized i will forget a lot of things if i do it without planning, but i am not really good in planning so i decided to just leave after a friend from Australia Lemuel and Kuya Larry helped me so i can buy my ticket to the US. i bought the ticket around 7pm December 23, went back to my Superheroes Guesthouse where my friends are waiting, Lisa from Germany, Miguel from Paranaque, Emily from QC, Eena from QC, Ian from Cavite and some i forgot already, they said i am crazy to make such decisions without planning, i can't even think of the word plan as i was so excited to find out that my friend is helping me with ticket. So i immediately bought the ticket around 7pm December 23 and the flight i choose was December 24 at 6am. the next day.
If you want me to share more crazy adventures like this, i will start posting on my page called $2DOLLARS 2Dollars Journey, i will also start posting on my You Tube Channel which i will post the link on the comment. I figured out that if i don't put this on the writing, i will not be able to remember all that i experienced and why i ended up creating now the most crazy ideas and Biggest DREAM i never even think, it just slowly came to my mind one at a time until i just found out that as of this month, i am ready to continue the long lost dream that i started since 2013 when i saw the movie THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY by Ben Stiller.
Going back to my friend Peter and Giovanna, they invited me to stay at their flat and Peter and i went out for a walk on a Christmas Day i am not even sure anymore, but as we are walking on the road to AMC Lincoln Square, we saw this car, and i told my friend it is a really beautiful car, i asked him, if i get rich in the future and i want to give you a car, what car would you like mt o gift you, he said Edwin i would like to have a TESLA. and that car a few meters in front of us was a Tesla. So i shake his hand and told him, It's a DEAL! so we continued walking and then we reached to this Cinema and we decided to go inside and watch a movie. Inside the cinema, we saw a few movies to watch, we cannot decide so we pick the best two films on the poster. One was The Wolf of Wall Street and the other one was The Secret Life of Walter Mitty...not know what to decide, i told my friend i've got an idea. i took out my wallet and search for my " Decision Coin " i had this idea of making Decisions out of tossing a coin when i cannot really make a decision between two things. It started since 2010 when i was at the airport in Schipol Amsterdam ( that story will be in the future i will also share it to you ) anyways, i took out the small coin and told my friend Peter, let's toss this coin and if its a head, then lets watch Walter Mitty and Tails goes to Wolf of Wall Street where i am a freaking big big fan of this actor Leo Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp since the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape 1994. Anyways...
So we toss the coin...and it's a head! Peter bought the ticket for Walter Mitty and we went inside to watch it. And to my disbelief, ( nak's nag english pa ang pucha! tapos ichecheck kung ano ibig sabihin ng Disbelief sa gogle! haha )
The first 3minutes of the film, i am starting to get interested by the camera shots...and then when the beginning credits started. i am already having goosebumps ( ayan na panay english na natutunan ko lang sa pelikula ) I feel like the movie is telling me directly what to do with my dream, and i don't even know the direction of my dream, it was like a jumbled puzzle where i don't really see the whole picture of my dream...it's like only 30% ideas and i still need to find the remaining 70% of my dream, what it is all about and what am i going to do to see that remaining ideas....i just jumped in the plane on December 24 and ended up sitting in the Cinema watching Walter Mitty by great actor Ben Stiller and here i am getting more crazy ideas while wathcing his film. imagine this: your brain getting axcited being in america after a friend paid for your ticket and you took the first flight the next day and you only have $5 in your pocket plus coins more or less $10 as your back up fund. I even forgot how to feel hungry, i was just excited.
To be Continued....
By the way if you reach this far. I am posting everything in English and my videos will be in English Tagalog too, because 90% of filipinos can understand English and 99% of my Foreigner friends cannot understand Tagalog. So i think it is better to share this story where more people can understand it. I will probably also create another channel where it is all in tagalog just in case no one wants to see my english posts.
