My Wishes

First of all, We all know that we are Human Beings and as a human being we have primary needs and ulimited wants. I, as a person, also have a lot of wants or wishes in life. Like everyone else, I have material wants, emotional wants, and even wants that are beyond man can achieve or what we call dreams and imaginations. Indeed those we're just some common wants and wishes in life, in fact others also have the same wishes as I do. Who knows, we might have some common wishes too.

When we're talking of material wants or earthly allurement, I have a lot of wants or wishes on that one. Since our generation today is already high-tech, most of my wishes are more on gadgets. For instance I wish I have that super mini laptop, wonder if it's already available here in the philippines because I only saw it on Tv. I wish I have the latest model of cellphone, the one that has already 10mega pixels. I wish I have the Spy gadgets. Also I, being an anime lover, I wish I have a complete collection on anime dvd's and action figures collectibles. I wish I can have that special edition death note L action figure, but it's quite costly though. I still have a lot of material wants in life because we know in a way it can give us pleasure.

Let's go now to emotional wants. At some point in my life there is always a time where I wish I wasn't me; that I wish I was somebody else. How I wish I was her in that time, so I can experience the same thing as her. How I wish I can have somebody else's brain, so I can be intelligent or I wish I can have somebody else's talent in writing or talent in singing or talent in drawing, and be praised. A point in my life where I wish to be popular so I can have their attention because i'm sick of being ignored. So much for my emotional wants.

Now for my unattainable wishes. There is a common filipino saying that we always hear from people, "Libre lang naman mangarap," at least our impossible wishes can came true in our dreams. At some point in our life we commit mistakes, How I wish I could go back in time and correct my mistakes. I wish I could have done something to have a better outcome or result. Since I'm a person who would not grab immediately opportunities, I always end up regreting everything, then starts to wish again.

All those mentioned above were just for my own benifit. On the contrary I also have some wishes for others, for instance my Family and friends, I wish for them to be happy and have a good health. Also particularly to that old man outside the XU campus. Everytime I pass by him I petied him. Everyday hundreds of people pass by him and I saw that just 1 out of 10 people showed sympathy to that old man. Furthermore, whenever I pass by I began to question myself where could his family be? Does he still have a family? That old man is just one out of the thousand beggars in the philippines, I wish they won't have to suffer anymore. I wish they have a well lived life.

I still have a lot more to wish for, but as of now, and since i'm just a student my only wish is to finish my studies. Later I can achieve those wishes. Someday I can make a difference, even in just simple ways. I'll just continue to wish so I won't lose my way, for in wishing I can achieve my goals.
