Stuff
I got only one bag. A travelling bag. The biggest bag I've ever made. It's a copy-cat of the bag I saw when Eloida was looking for a travelling bag to buy. Yes, I make bags. I make stuffs mostly my age won't ever think of doing.
My family own and runs a business related to making stuff.. that.. that's all I can share. This was never a secret, but I don't think this is the right place to say things like this. I don't accept ads here! Puhahaha.. I have my own line of clothing already. A name that was registered since I was 9 years old. A brand under my father's name. But it was never a successful venture because no one helped me to start the business myself. At that age, I already had a handful of contracts and clients. Like I said, I grew up being the right hand of my father. And a slave of my mother. Me and my siblings, minus Mike and Jhara were exposed to this kind of environment. I learned to sew fabrics and tailor dresses by myself when I was 6 years old. We have a non-electrical sewing machine that was older than me and that's where I learned to sew. I got my first deal when I was 7, making Roman Shades for a client's big house with 4 bedrooms. I spent my entire Christmas vacation and Summer vacations the following year to finish the contract. Alone. You won't believe how much I earned that time. I opened my personal bank account after that and was doing all so good but then.. Things make a sudden turn of events and one thing lead to another.. And here I am, penniless and alone and broken and jobless and.. leaving.
I decided in behalf of my life to leave this place and start a new life somewhere. Just the fact that I am going somewhere, feels like escaping, running away makes my heart beat faster. I guess it makes me excited to do this thing when I know, it's either I'll make it or not. I'm sure along the way, the weak Elleine would suddenly appear and I'll soon find myself in heaven or maybe in my hometown, hell.
And yes, I told this to no one but you, my blog and my readers, if I really have a readers. Even the closest friend I have had no idea of this plan.
Back to the travelling bag, I made that bag in March this year, after the Swimming in Laguna. I posted a photo of me with the poor Lechon beside me here, right? I think a week after that event when I made the bag.
I'm cleaning my things right now when I thought of writing something about this escape. A person with no money at all, planning to escape is such a horrible idea, ever. And I know, this will lead me to either nowhere or somewhere. I just want to let you know that I'm doing this, not just for myself but for us. So just hang on. Stay strong and please, wait for me. I'll be back, just to get you two out of here. That's not a promise. It will definitely happen.
I've thought about this since last year and let's put the wheel on rolling.. I just wish I am moving forward.. >>>>
I have a lot of stuffs. And I don't think I could bring them all so I made a sudden cleaning today. Disposing everything that is in no use, leaving the ones that could help me in the process. I even have a prepared clothes since last week. Well, I've been preparing this departure since last year, I should be using my head in the right way. Right?
No, I'm not going off tonight. I don't have that kind of money to escape. A cent won't take me somewhere.
I only have one travelling bag and the stuffs that I'll be bringing with me are the important ones. What a bunch of important ones are these? I should make another bag later. These packing would take forever if I would stay here telling you the step-by-step procedure of my planned escape.
The things that I'll be bringing are the important ones and the ones leaving behind would be.. trashed soon after they find out I'm missing. Well, they're not as bad as throwing my stuff like that but, I shouldn't have the reason to comeback and retrieve my items like I never were in a planned escape, right? That would be funny. Puhahaha.. I should have get a rideaway vehicle and load all my stuff. :D
Leaving such a huge amount of stuff costs my heart to ache. If I want a change, I should do this. If I want to escape, I should only bring the ones that would help me in the process. If I want to really do this, there are people and things that would cost me to make my planned escape into action. I'll be leaving the two most important people in my life right now and disposing all the stuffs I have. But I learned that if something won't be useful to you then throw it away, a saying I learned from Eloida.
Am I throwing my life 'this way'?
I don't think so. I guess I'm just having a bold leap to really see the changes I'm looking for. I may end up in the streets for doing this but no one can stop me. I'm ready to risk my damaged soul, no matter how much it costs me.
This is not a sudden, abrupt decision. This was planned a year ago and I should make an honest effort and use my head to make a successful act.
I'm really afraid but also excited.
If I am going to do this, I'm going to do this carefully.
Give me some luck.. I'm departing soon.
