trail blazing

I was watching discovery channel then an idea struck me and made me realize that my dream  is possible in this life time. The name of the show is Earth shocks and the dream is to surf!

The weather pattern of the earth is constantly changing and I think it is predictable. Weather is a vital factor of economics. Every industry is designed to function in harmony with the environment. With the earth’s weather changing fast from region to region, effective navigation in these economic times require up to date information and forecast on the weather patterns across the world. Thanks to the internet, weather forecast is easily accessible through pocket PC’s.  But, knowing where the surf’s up is one thing, having the money to burn for fuel is another unless you’re a pro.

Civilizations across the world continue to be negatively affected by the changes in our planet’s climate. I consider this ludicrous. As mentioned in the earth shocks episode tonight, most people only have a day to day outlook on life and weather rather on a global scale. Though scientists are still puzzled by the behavior of storms, I think that the increase in the earth’s temperature has created a new chapter of the earth headed to something similar of Kevin Costner’s Waterworld movie. The past century’s storm trend should be enough to convince everyone that weather disturbances ahead of us are likely to be considered extreme by our parents. In relation to this, you will probably see the “surf’s up hand sign” more than your parents did in their lifetime and bigger waves more frequent.

I believe every human is unique and capable of achieving anything. I believe people, old and young, have the capability to surf.  The only rule in this game is the one we put in our head.

Later alligator, this wave is mine.

Do we have monkeys on our backs? Guess who put it there, ourselves.

I will have only one goal now, not 10. My goal to have a net worth of $1 Billion US Dollars by the year 2025.

When I die, I want my body to be donated to scientific research. My assets will be donated to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

ah yet another chapter in a man’s life.

Have I mentioned here at trail blazing already? From the Philippines, I have moved to a new place. A place where freedom can be felt. A place where diversity of origins can be seen. A place where the forefront of human civilization can be perceived. A place where dreams are said to be fulfilled or destroyed. A place where there a four seasons in a year. A place where most filipinos would like to be in. A place where technology is power. A place where basketball is not popular. A place where people do not sleep. A place called Vancouver.

Around me are things that tell me that I am old and young. Around me I see there is plenty of room to welcome those who are suffering from hunger and disease. Around me I see plenty of personalities I could end up. Around me I see plenty of opportunities I have missed. Around me I do and do not see people I wish. Around me I see plenty of lessons to be learned. Around me I see plenty of wonders to achieve. Around me I see plenty of room to improve. Around me I see plenty of paths to take. Ahead of me I see room for success and nothing less.

“And forever, brother, HAIL and farewell!”
