Allow Me to Digress

Have you ever heard of the sweetest pizza?

I just had it last week!  The last slice was eaten yesterday, for breakfast.  It must have been already 4 days since I received it but I can still remember how excited I was when I got the package from the bus station.  Sweet because it was really sweet of my friends to send me my request.  Yes, the dream I had days ago came true, partly - because I got the pizza and the best part is without ragged kids.  Here are my three John Maxwell inspired laws on dreaming, and even if it’s a Sunday today, I hope I don’t sound preachy:

Lesson 1:  The Cinderella Principle. 

Errrr … no prince charming came out of the box (that would have been  nice too hehe), but I just thought of naming this lesson Cinderella because of this song from the Disney movie:

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you’re fast asleep;

In dreams you will lose your heartaches,

And whatever you wish for, you keep.

Have faith in your dreams, and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through;

No matter how you heart is grieving,

If you keep on believing,

The dreams that you wish will come true.

So there, don’t lose hope!      

Lesson number 2: The Oven Toaster Principle. 

Good things come to those who wait.  Better things come to those who can wait further.  (Or even the best!)

The pizza wasn’t in a box.  It was frozen hours before it was shipped overnight, carefully packaged in a plastic box container and wrapped with foil. (Thank you very much, Ate Jeny!  I thought the pizza was in the big rectangular box! Yung toy pala yun hehe :)   

You can just imagine how tempted I was to eat it (cold pizza isn’t that bad, and for someone like me who’s been longing for that pizza, it would have been good enough and far far better than nothing.)  But then, I am reminded by Ate Jeny that it’s best if I wait for it to be heated first.  Problem was I didn’t have an oven toaster here so I still had to buy one. So it wasn’t until around 10 hours after I got the pizza that I was able to enjoy a slice.   

Patience is a virtue.  Believe me, it’s the best pizza I’ve ever eaten! Up to the last morsel Best enjoyed when shared too :) 

Lesson number 3:  The Blogging Principle.

Share your dream, win a fairy godmother or genie!

See what I got after blogging about my dream!  Don’t be shy about your dreams.  Share some.  Maybe some dreams are to be kept secret, but some may be told to some friends… who you know can help you make them come true

This post is dedicated to my fairy godmother,

Ate Jeny, who does have time to read my blog when she’s not pretending to be busy - I enjoyed the cheesy volcano eruption, thanks!

and her fairy godmothers in training…

Teacher / Inday Geri, the ultimate divisoria shopping companion haha:)  - I do now that you’re royalty that’s why I was the driver right? :)  I’m glad I made you like pizza… hehehe :) 

Joy, who’s always smiling and never fails to greet me with a warm "Ate Aileen / Teacher Aileen" whenever we see each other - cge ba pizza party

… and my backup singer, Ate Joan. (Ang ganda ng boses mo… keep it up) hahaha…. :)  Sorry ngayon ko lang nablog about my dream come true, kasi alam mo naman busy… saka i want to write something really nice for you guys

Thanks for making my wish come true - at least for this week.  Do you want me to email you the complete list?  Nice drawing, too!  (Sana nandun din ako, Teacher Geri. hahaha :)  I wish I can post it here now but too bad walang scanner. Next time

and to all dreamers who just don’t give up, and "fairy godmothers" who brighten up other people’s lives with the little surprises they bring.

Grazie mille, amici!
