- 5 years? -

This song has nothing to do with the picture actually. its just that this cover of Gabe Bondoc - Gentlemen dont is one of the ones i really enjoy listening to.




So when i saw this question. i recall myself having a conversation with my good friend RJ from Vienna about opening up a shop there, due to the fact of the lack of sneakers in this city...the dream plan is: give it 5 years if there is still no store up and running that is real good, we´ll open up a store. I love the fact that we have a concept for it, and its a real dream, i mean dream bigh right?

anyway..its a dream, but is it a plan? For my part, ive always had a plan ready when it came to my future. study to become a chef..work as a chef, then go to uni or college to study Hotell & tourism..this would eventually lead me to study within Food & beverage..which would be the last stop of studies. I would be content with working within the business of the culinary world, but would this make me happy?

Kuya Joseph Tesoro said this during his session at a GA here in Oslo right after the congress..it went :" Gods plans are far greater than Yours!" He had such a good point..His plans are greater than ours..He has so much love for us..matter of fact He only has love for us..thats why He already planned out our lifes. He just lets us get a glimpse of the future every now and then =) Which makes it even more exciting =D

So would the F&B world still be my thing? i randomly got a visit at the shop i work at from one of my favorite teachers ever. we started discussing about carriers..what was the next step for me? Im very active in the youth catholic group YFL, & by always being interactive with youth..i learned that i still wanted to work with the youth...the kids. and we started talking about what if i wanted to be a teacher as a living? I laughed just by the thought of it. why? cause i saw teachers just as a pest..they were just there to keep us busy half of the day =P...but the more i let her give out points about it..the more i saw the positive side of it. you actually do touch & effect them in one way or another...

i was praying alot about it right after the visit my old teacher paid me. and i just started to listen..didnt do the talking, just asked Him for some signs..that would let me know what He wanted me to do..funny thing is...one ofmy co-workers is actually studying to become a teacher..and he started talking bout this..I really got excited..so excited that i actually watched "Freedom Writers". yeah i know its a movie..but hey it was based on a true story..real talk...it just spoke to me...

so yeah..ive decided..to stay here in oslo and not go to some culinary school in a foreign country & educate myself by becoming not just a teacher who will teach students..but a teacher who will let the students teach him..
