I believe in my heart instead of a prosier word we continue verbalizing as dreaming, batting at last inning and trailing, we should be pinning our hopes on such word as goaling.

The latter reflects a distinction which can only result either in success or failure. Dreaming is like wandering endlessly not knowing where or how it will end.

In normal cases, it ends when one finally snuffs out of it. To others, it becomes a nightmare and never comes out of it.

It would be nice if dreams can be like taxi meters. You can control a dream before it becomes too big and you stop dreaming permanently.

In other words, you can yell “Para na!” when you feel the excitement of the ride is making you queasy specially when running out of fares?

By contrast, when you set out a goal, you only have two things to weigh in and these are, is it doable, the other more crucial – is it affordable?

If you dream like what most of our politicians do being experts second to none in the trade, everything is doable and even more inspiring – it is always affordable.

Thank God we have not yet reached the age of sending someone to the moon. He or she may not get back to earth!

Our politicians can always claim, they dreamed the return trip was only a dream of our ‘nakurakotnaut’! Sadly, Filipinos are always on the losing end of the scale every time politicians fling with destiny.

By golly, hearing politicians engaging in all sorts of promises is an adventure in itself. I mean, where else in the world can you find politicians promising garden of roses only to leave Filipinos abasing in kangkong leaves?

As if that wasn’t enough insult, the scums gets on the 6:00 news promising more! Wouldn’t you like to weep big time? I bet it will be a tough choice between vivarin and ambience pills.

Dream on!
