Let Your Piggy Dreams Fly


Another new year titled as the year of "Golden Pig" has kicked in. Golden Pig might sound like the following 365 days would be paved with a red carpet for all lucky gold diggers and go getters who will take much pride in their rich harvest. Everyone has big or small goals or expectations for this brand new bunch of days ahead.

It doesn't matter how old you are when it comes to build and rebuild your grand schemes. Wait, let me put it differently. It doesn't matter how YOUNG you are when you're about to revamp your dreams and plans. It is because the shiny new packet of days are equally given to everyone of us. To some out there who are terminally ill or diagnosed with irremediable diseases, the new year ahead must feel totally different. Every single day for those ill people in dire situations, the fresh bunch of year called 2019 must seem more precious and priceless than those who just keep noodling around with the days given. If you are lucky enough to be in good shape as you speak, let the spirit of people desperately longing for tomorrow be yours and mine.

No matter how old, young, healthy, or sick, you can create the new batch of days just the way you love at your own pace. Even if there's unexpected glitches or obstacles in your way, do not freak out or despair. Just take them as refreshing elevenses or pitstop in a race that you could savor for recharging yourselves. That way, the year of Golden Pig will make your own piggy dreams fly high even when pigs don’t fly in 2019. Happy piggy new year to you all!!!

CHAMOMILE Sizzling summer seems like a t wo-faced time of the year. It could be described as a season for a relaxing retreat in an exotic island; otherwise, it could be the riskiest period in a year not only for the physically vulnerable but for any outdoorsy people because of its unbearably scorching heat.
