Bisdak Babbles

It’s December already! The choir at the church started singing Christmas carols last Sunday, making me more homesick. To hold back my tears and since I could strongly feel the Christmas spirit (receiving gifts ^-^), I’ve diverted my mind to enumerating my wishes and dreams:

Impossible Dream:
(1) Be a Lotto winner before December 20, 2006.
This would definitely eliminate the very sticky financial situation my family have been suffering for years!
Also, I must win before December 20 for there’s still a chance (no matter how slim) of getting a plane ticket home. Then I could spend at least the New Year’s day with my family.

It’s too impossible though, considering that I have NOT won any lottery in all 26 years of my life. I don’t even know how to buy lotto entries here in Japan.

More realistic dream that CAN be fulfilled in at least 3 years:
(2) Higher-paying job (of course, without the need to render overtime work)
Necessary step:
Must learn Nihongo! Must learn Nihongo! Or, I could try seeking a job in an English-speaking country.

Things that I have laid my eyes on for a very very long time but can’t afford at present:
(3) Trench Coat and other winter outfits
Every time I go window-shopping, I always drop by boutiques that have those fancy trench coats. If only I have at least 15,000 yen!

Before coming here, I bought a winter jacket in the Philippines and been looking forward to wearing it. However, for the past 2-3 months, I have been trying to get rid these “dangling bells” and was so surprised to find out that the said jacket is now too huge for me. I’m happy because the struggles in fighting off my appetite finally paid off. But I’m sad because I’m left with not one decent jacket to wear!

(4) Multi-purpose Printer
(5) Any MP3 Player (at least 1GB)
(6) DVD writer

Others (but much much more important than the ones listed above):
(7) Good health for all of my loved ones
(8) World peace ^-^

Happy Holidays everyone!
