Ironic

"I'm broke but I'm happy..."

A chapter of my life ended yesterday. I closed my dollar account with BDO. It was a 10-year relationship gone kaput.

I opened it up with the hope that it would help increase my wealth after my brother decided to accept a job abroad in one of Europe’s cruise ships. He failed in his three attempts because of homesickness. I am taking care of him and his family of five kids ever since.

I am not complaining about that. The kids are doing very well in school. I just hope that I can tell my brother that he has to earn money by himself to support them. I can always help when I can.

Although I am not getting any younger, I still have dreams of my own to fulfill. I do not want my financial situation to be a hindrance. I will definitely do whatever I can to finish my post graduate degree in a year’s time.

For now, I can minimize my personal expenses. I am not sure though which part of my lifestyle to give up. As I have said, I am not giving up my studies. How about the Salon? Is it earning enough? How about Marc?
