Of Friendships,Reunions, and American Dreams
No this won’t be another post on my wedding. It’s just that I’m excited that my bestfriend from the USA will be coming home just for my wedding. Cecille has been my bestfriend since grade school and she left for Virginia the same year the World Trade Center destruction happened. She came home 3 years ago and surprised me. I had no idea that she’ll be coming home then so it was extra special.
She’s now in Virginia and living her American dream. I’m one of those few Filipinos who don’t dream about migrating to the US because I still believe in the Philippines. But when my bestfriend begins to talk about how much money she’s earning, the places she’s been, and the people she’d met, I sometimes find myself searching for and looking at Virginia, New York, and New Orleans guide. Now those 3 states I know are far from each other but they truly intrigue me. Virginia because my bestfriend and her family are there. New York because of Broadway, and New Orleans because I wanna see if it has fully recovered after the Hurricane Katrina badly hit the town 2 years ago.
Don’t get me wrong…my American dreams are limited to just that—vacation. I still don’t have any plans of working there or starting a family there because I know how difficult it would be. But if God wills it, I will definitely go.
