This or That?

Why do I have to choose between the two things that I want?

Joining in our international tour, or having that cellphone I've wanted since I saw it last summer... Ugh.. I don't know what to do.. Don't know what to decide..

Well. This is life. We always have to face the very hard process of decision making. Decisions are part of our life. We have to really, really think about it 'cause sometimes, we tend to make rush decisions and things would just end up badly.. And obviously, we don't want that to happen.

Now. I have to choose. I want to join the tour because of course, I want to know how does it feel to be in another country. And I also want to visit other places outside the Philippines. Traveling around the world is one of my goals, and I could start that now. But...... I understand that this tour is very expensive. And also, I think we won't be able to enjoy that much because our time is limited... because we have to strictly follow our itinerary.

But.... (again!).. I also want that Nokia phone....

I don't know why my father came up with this idea. He's obviously wishing that I'll go for that cellphone because it's much cheaper than the tour.. But why?

I'm greedy. I want to have both. But I'm sure as hell can't. I really have to choose.

Found a quote on the net by Henry David Thoreau. And it made me realized something.

Yeah, I have to choose. But whatever I decided to have on the end, I should be contented about it and have no regrets. I shouldn't ask for more than what my parents can give me. Maybe, it's all in God's plan that I shouldn't join that tour, or I shouldn't have that phone. We'll never know. So right now.. I'm going to really really think about it, weigh the pro's and con's..consider all the advantages and disadvantages.. and maybe, I'll be able to do the right thing. Remember:

That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
--Henry David Thoreau

Well at least I have options. Either way, I win.. because I'll have something that I really want. :))
