trail blazing

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!”
