big dreams

when you dream, dream big; when you set your goals, aim high.

i heard this from a friend years ago when he tried boosting my morale as i told him what profession i do really dreamed of. and he did quite well in rekindling the passion in my heart. now, i know i am treading the right path. i am closer to that dream waiting to happen soon.

when i entered UP back then, i never saw myself living the life of an interior designer. honestly, the idea never hit me. it might have come quite late, but not too late to realize a dream i never thought it's gonna happen in the first place.

but last Nov. 28, i finally enrolled in interior design. i must have gone crazy, most of my journ classmates thought. a lot of them raised their brows and threw a questioning look at me. but lo and behold. nothing stopped me from dreaming of managing my own furniture shop someday. no sour comment can ever kill my passion for interior design.

i might not have recognized my abilities in interior design earlier, but how do i see myself 10 years from now? i always imagined myself doing interior designs for hotels, offices and residences.

some say they get confused of what do i intend to be. but just the same, nothing beats getting paid for doing something you love the most. creating something out of passion is not the same as doing something just for the money. passion is what drives you to work even in the absence of a good pay.

Quoting Mr. Kent Nerburn, "Find out what it is that burns in your heart and do it. Choose a vocation, not a job, and you will be at peace."
