Wishes of Mine


Books, Movies, Fairytales, Fantasy, Fiction: Wishes of mine

I like fantasy, fiction, and fairy tales. I know I’m not a child anymore but there is something inside me, something that touches my heart when I read or watch things I cannot see in the reality of the world. I want books and movies not to end. I want to believe that they actually exist. I want to go inside the movie or a book but when the reality struck me that they are like what they call them, fantasy, fiction, made-up stories. Stories! Merely stories, I nearly cry. T.T


Why can’t they be true? Why can’t I be a character in a book? It doesn’t matter if I have two cruel step sisters and a stepmother, as long as pumpkins can be carriages, as long as fairy god mother exist too. It doesn’t matter if I kiss a frog, as long as He will be a prince after I do so. It doesn’t matter if I have tail, gills and fins as long as I can breathe underwater and live as a princess. It doesn’t matter if I sleep hundreds of years as long as a brave prince will save and kiss me. It doesn’t matter if Voldemort comes back, as long as I can fly a broom, I can cast a patronus charm and I’m studying in a school of magic where all my fantasies can be fed. I know these things can’t be true. They are my wishes. Wishes that even a star can’t give. Worse, even my dreams can’t.

So what do I do? Even if I fall in love right now I can’t be Cinderella because there’s no Fairy god mother there to help me dress up. Even if I jump off a building there will be no flying carpet to give me a ride. I hate to think about that they are just books, that they are just fairy tales, product of someone else’s brilliant mind. Do you know how I feel? If you love reading books, maybe you do, but if you don’t you’ll never understand.


Me too, I don’t understand myself why am I so attached with this kind of stuff. They say it’s an escape from reality. Yes that’s true. When I read, I don’t remember all my school works, how I need to make my chores done, how dangerous this world can be and how many people hate me right now. Just like in the books, I want to think I’m a princess. I want to think that a handsome, kind prince is head over heels in love with me. I want to think that I live in a castle and my parents are the King and the Queen. And the best here is, even if a bad witch exists, in the end we will all live happily ever after. In the world, there’s no such thing as happy ending. Life goes on. And as it goes on, more struggles, more trials, and more hardships are to come. If this world is like that? You would want to be inside too right? 

Alright. Thank God, He exist. Because of Him, There is still hope inside me that someday, I’m going to see a castle greatest of all. That someday, everyone will be happy and happy ever after really happens. Thank God, all my wishes will turn to prayers and just like wishes it will all be granted.

Loving your Enemy

Matthew 5:43-44 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. The first step to love our enemies is to pray for them. Jesus said, ‘pray for those who persecute you.’ If we pray for our enemies, something mysterious happens inside us. It is like pouring icy cold water to your sizzling emotions. When we continue to pray goodness for our enemies everyday, one day you’ll realize that your anger has gone. And once we have removed our anger, we can start doing good things for them such as: Forgiving and forgetting about their sins against us. Forgiveness is an act of the will of the heart. And Christian forgiveness means that when we forgive, we also forget. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Reaching out to them. We do not just forgive our enemies, we also take steps to be closer to them. Real forgiveness demands restoration of relationship. Just like how Go...

Unworthy

We are worthless in God's holy presence. We are just worms in God's sight. We are nothing compared to Him. So in everything we say and do, we must always be reminded that God whom we are serving is a perfect God and the greatest of all. We must be careful not to boast of our goodness to Him because nobody is good enough for God. But then, the Lord does not look on our imperfections. He sees what's in our hearts and if we are willing to be His children, He will certainly accept and change us to be a better person. God sees our worth as His creation and His love for us makes us worthy to come to Him even though we're actually not.

PNOY's Speech Reaction (TV Patrol 25th Anniversary)

Like President Noynoy Aquino, I want to congratulate TV Patrol for their 25 years of serving the people of the Philippines. PNOY’s speech was very honest yet he never forgot being polite. I believe that the message he wanted to tell especially the news commentators was clearly delivered although people may have different feedback about it. Although, some may think that the President ruined the celebration by pointing out the news anchor of TV Patrol who gave his comment/opinion that made a bad image for the government about news they were reporting. According to the president’s speech, the comment of the news anchor makes the good news appear to be a not-so-good one and is obviously against the government. Because of this, the people who hear may also be influenced about his opinion and eventually believe that the government is really doing nothing good and the country has no progress at all. The comment of the president sounds right to me but it may also change if I ...
