i wanna be rich!

With the global economic problems and a world full of poverty, who doesn’t want to be rich? Oh, alright! Everybody (or almost) wants to have the big bucks anytime. Every time I watch on TV the Top 20 supermodels, actors, comedians, etc. who made lots and lots of money, I always imagined myself becoming one of those Nouveau Riche guys. I am not a hotel heiress and I did not come from a landed family. But I’m dreaming of making it big time! Sure, I’m not from an old rich family, like the Ayalas and the Zobels of Manila, but I can be Nouveau Riche (French for new rich). I think it’s better. Acquiring wealth (massive wealth) on your own, that’s something to be really proud of (except, of course, when you get your money from the fertilizer scam!). Wouldn’t it feel great to have something you worked hard for?

I’ve been thinking of leaving my current work to explore better opportunities. I’m losing faith of where my career path is going. I gotta be somebody! Maybe I’m reading/watching too much about the Nouveau Riche, sometimes drooling over the luxuries that they can afford, but it is actually inspiring. If only I can have an innovative entrepreneurial idea, I can easily climb my way to the top. When I get really rich, I’ll buy myself an estate in Malibu, a condo in Manhattan, a vacation house in Europe, a Ferrari, houses for the old, and education for the young. So please, please, let my time come. I’ll be waiting… :)
