i remember receiving a pair of roller blades from santa claus when i was in grade 1. yes, it was number one in my wish list that time. i never had any idea of ‘answered prayers’ before; all i knew was that, I had to write the christmas gift that i wanted and hope for santa’s kindness so that it may be granted.
until grade 5, i still believed in santa claus. had i not seen my mother wrapping the surprise gift for me, probably i am still making my materialistic wish lists up to now. but the picture didn’t change my desire to receive gifts every christmas. i still enjoy christmas and i still receive gifts from my parents.
i am now 20 but this season always brings out the child in me. i still hope for material things but could not write them all down on a piece of paper anymore. i cannot even hand that piece of paper to my parents because i am mindful that the santa claus could not be anybody else but me.
i am my own santa claus now. and along with this shift are the changes in my desires for christmas. i believe some things are just worth listing and this time, i pray BIGTIME for them to happen.
1. the success of the alternative treatment of my adviser. i will always be one with you in your prayers for this, maam.
2. the reconciliation reunion of the BT! i know there will never be a complete attendance in a year’s time but i hope, at least, everybody will be humbled by the things we’ve been through for the past months.
3. a good job for me. 
now, you may bring down your eyebrow (i know the other one’s raised while reading the 3 wishes).
all set for christmas!
for the past 19 christmas celebrations, much has been given to me. this year, i can only hope and pray so much. one thing’s for sure, i will be the happiest person if all these things take place on christmas… the best christmas will be mine.
merry christmas everyone! cheers!
haaayyyyy. i wish that all your three wishes will come true. sa tinuod lang, im not feeling the spirit of christmas yet. maybe because ive lost my sense of time 5mos ago until now. i dont even mind working on the 25th. hehe.
bitaw beans, christmas is always the time of the year na haappyyy kaayo ko kay murag generous kaayo tanang tao. haha.
of course, dako kaayo ang patong sa sweldo if you work on the 25th. hahahaha.
bitaw ay. salamat sa pag-support sa akong wishes. these are real wishes from a “becoming” real person. iused to be unreal. hahahaha
let us all wish for people to be generous this year!
[...] for Christmas, I wished for intangible things, I want material things for my birthday. Earth to my friends who will be able to read this [...]
