Desire

Last year, I wanted to have my own car. That was the "thing" I was dreaming of. I wanted it so bad that I joined a taxi company's raffle draw, the prize of which is a Kia Avella. Opportunity also presented itself when a taxi driver gave me more than 2 pads of coupons for the raffle draw. Hahaha! I believed that I would win. So, before leaving Davao a day before the supposed raffle draw, I dropped all of my raffle coupons at NCCC Mall and knew that by the time I come home a week later, my new car would be waiting for me in the garage. I told this story to nobody but my little sister Gracie.

When I came back, Gracie asked me where my car is, so she remembered! Note: My sister is diagnosed with Praeder Willy Syndrome. I asked mom if they received a call from the taxi company or if there was news that I won a car. She said there was none. I got dismayed. But, I was still determined to have a car (and when I said I wanted a car, I did not want to pay for it!). I was a little disappointed at that time but I was positive that the car I've been wanting is just within my reach. I knew that I was going to have it.

After about a month or so, I decided to get my driver's license. I've been keeping my SP and renewing it every year for so long now, and if I wanted to have my own car, I should have a valid driver's license, not just a temporary one. It seemed during that time that all the forces of the universe connived at my plan: Dad bought a Pajero, and nobody will be using his old car, which by the way, is owned by my grannies. When we went to my grannies' place where I also got my driver's license, Grandpa told me that the old green car is now mine! Wahahahahaha! I was so happy despite mom's objection.

So, I got my car. What has it to do with my title post? Desire. It's what I wanted, and I got it. Actually, I was able to relate to what I've been reading. Lara lent me another self-help book, which is so long overdue already (I had prelims, law books first), entitled THINK and GROW RICH by Napoleon Hill. It's a good book. Though I'm still in the second chapter, I know this book will help me a lot.
