Sunday Exodus

               I usually go to the mall every Sunday to de-stress myself from a very tiring and stressful works and activities of the week. A while ago, after going to the mass, I headed to the mall. Even without any particular objective in mind, I still want to go there. For me, this is the cheapest way to dandle myself since I can’t afford a weekend getaways to any of famous destination in the country.

            But a while ago, it seems that I will be headed for a battle-a battle for strength and patience.  Want to know why? As I went to the terminal, I was shock when I saw the pile of people also going to the mall. This is my first time to see almost a kilometer long of departee. But that scenario didn’t even diminish my intention and excitement to go there.

                  But when I arrived there, another challenge awaits me. I can’t choose well because the mall is pack of shopper. You can’t even get a basket for your purchase and another mile to get through the counter. All I can see here is hassle. I realized that it is not just an ordinary Sunday but also a payday. That is why a lot of people are shopping for Christmas. This is not the right time and day to de-stress myself. Then I decided to leave.

             Going home is not as easy as I thought. I encountered the same problem again.  It is a bad decision to leave home at this time. 

Uncertain Plan

  I don’t have any idea why all of a sudden one of my students asked me, if what would I do given the chance to win hundred million in a lottery. Since I caught off guard, I couldn’t give a clear answer but to save it in a bank. Unclean of her intension, I return the question but also get the same answer.

  When I got home, I remember that question. What am I really going to do if I won that money?

  Well, as I think of it, believe it or not, first of all I’ll give the ten percent of the total winning to the different churches. This is my way of returning the blessing I have received. Second, I’ll buy a house, not just a house but a big house for my parent. I’ll let them also travel abroad or to any places they want. This will be my gift for taking care of me and providing my needs ever since I was a child. For inspiring and showing me the unconditional love. Third, I give at least five million to all my siblings without interfering any of their decision on the usage of it. They can do whatever they want. 

  Fourth, after helping my family, I will also help my friends and those are in needs. And lastly, I will save some for my future. Or maybe I’ll put my dream business. I will also pamper myself from different gadgets, travels and everything money can offer. And also before I forgot, I will buy my own house. At my age I should have it and not just settled on renting. For sure it’s everybody’s dream.  

  Then I realized I am just dreaming. Counting chicken before it hatch. Anyway, I’ll cross the bridge when I get there.  But given that chance I will follow what I have planned.
