Dwell in Possibility

When I decided to purchase a piece of land in 2009, I didn't have a concrete plan in place to address the many issues and challenges that came with this...well...investment, for lack of a better term. How does one go about investing when one is unemployed? And I say, it was a decision made without even consulting my husband. He truly is a saint to have put up with this, LOL! A saint to have put up with his crazy wife's shenanigans...a wife who was unemployed when the purchase took place:) Come on! Trust in the universe once-in-a-while. You truly get what you ask for! Six months prior, I obsessed over this idea: our dream home high up in the hills, in front of this beautiful, famous lake which has a volcano in the middle. And within this volcano: another lake! Where IS this place, you might ask. Well, it isn't in California. After all, there are no volcanoes in California. It isn't in Hawaii, either. It is 16 hours away by plane plus two hours by car in a city called Tagaytay, outside Metropolitan Manila. This place has an otherworldly feel...like Shangri-la, island style! Because of the elevation, the climate is ideal for someone like me who has strict policies against sweating. There's plenty of rain for the beautifully amazing gardens that I will be planning very ambitiously. A cutting garden and a subversive plot. And what's a dream house without children? For now, I won't write about how the adoptions happened. I will mention one thing, though...hubby knows about it by now. And agrees, lucky me!

So...how did this all come about? We had a planned vacation and the stroll into Splendido Tagaytay's sales office took my dear hubby by surprise. Oh, yeah! By the way, honey, I forgot to tell you we're buying land today. And we have to build our dream house five years later. That should give me plenty of time to find a job. I won't write about the boring but gory details of how I sort-of convinced him it would be the best thing for our future. As I had mentioned before, he is a living saint. Okay, okay...so it's going to take some time to figure out the logistics. But, hey! I dwell in possibilities and have enough arrogance to expect all my dreams to manifest!
