THE VERY LATE 18 WISHES OF MINE. (better late than never!) By Angel Shane Bondoc

July 26, 2011 around 1  in the morning.

My birthday was in the second week of July 2011, July 8 to be exact. So it falls on a friday, where in at that time my whole day was all chaos of paper works and activities in school and in church. In the morning of my most anticipated day, My dear friends in school surprised me, It happened in our School Cafe. We had some free time in that morning because our professor of morning class was absent. With all three of them singing the happy birth day song as i enter, i was thankful for their effort :) I am very happy. A lighted cake was in front of me. OOOOOOPPPPPPPPSSSS!!!! (i said in mind) I didn't prepare any wishes. As the candle has been re-lighted eighteen times. I just remember having some wish on the first 3 candles. The rest? Empty wishes... it only occured to me just last night, I haven't made my wish list!!! I remember I'm planning to have one but i guess it slip out of my mind. Such a shame!!! So now i'm taking the opportunity to have one :))

(i'm typing this in my cell phone last night while the earth quake was happening :D)

For the 8th of July 2011, My Wish List;

18.I wish to finish my college in flying colors.

--i want to make my love one's proud, for it's the greatest honor that i can give to them

and to all of their hardwork for me.

17.I wish my Lola to live longer.

--so i can be with her much longer and so that she could see the house that i'm going to have and live there, i will buy

her a dishwasher so she'll no longer wet her athritic hands.

16.I wish my Tita's sickness will be cured.I wish for a miracle.

--because it reallly breaks my heart when her sickness attacks her and it breaks my heart even more to see my Lola near to tears silently filled with worry and concern.

15.I wish to be a more better person.

--to learn good things from life and from other people; and never stop learning.

14.I wish happiness for the people that i love and hold dearly and also for me as well.

13.I wish to be a choir member of our church until i grow old.

--i want to serve God until my last dying breath.

12.I want to be selfless.

--To follow God's will and not just my own will. For i know he had great plans that i can't do alone.

11.I wish i can get lost even just once.

--For me to find my own self and discover it better.

10.I wish someday i can go to differenr places.

--to witness how wonderfully made God created the world and how the people take care of thier culture.

9.I wish my dog will live forever.

--i loved him very much like he was my own child, my first long time pet and my most adorable furry friend.

8.I wish i can learn how to play piano.

--my dream ever since i was 6 years old. i want to play classical music so much. I want piano!! hahaha

7.I wish to be a part of Gawad kalinga.

-- i want to somehow, help the poor children that don't have opportunity to go to a proper school.

6.I want to inspire others.

5.I wish to be a good cook!

-- for the sake of my future husband and kids :)) i'll make their stomach full every day :)

4.OOOOOoooooohhhh!!!!! how i wish for my menstrual ramps to end!! it's so painful and it bothers me a lot!!

3.I wish my Lolo was still here.

--i miss him a lot that i cried everytime i remember him. i didn't get a chance to say goodbye before he died. :((

2.I wish someday, God will give the right person for me and live happily ever after.

--the bible said that a good future is inherited fron parents, but a good husband is given by God.

1.I  wish to HAVE MORE PATIENCE to wait for God and his timing.AND FAITH to face everything patiently.

This is my wishes as i reach the age of being a young woman and hopefully someday, with the help of God i can fulfill every wish (exept for number three) little by little.

I REALIZE THAT THE BEST FORM OF WISHES IS THE ONE THAT IS BEING SHARED TO OTHERS. :)

A Letter to Myself:

Dear Self,

i congratulate you! you are no longer a little girl but now a beautiful young woman in your age. The past few years was not easy for you, experiencing so much problems and having too much hurt in your heart. I know how much you cried and i know how lonely you are. But despite of it all, you still stood up and face it. you are most strong when you are weak and i admire you for that. thank you for all your hardwork and all the understanding that you gave even though it hurts you already. Even though many always misunderstood you, i know that you are a very good person and for every good person, i belive that there's always a happy ending for them waiting in the end. Till the following days ahead for both of us, please continue to bear with me.

          P.S. With your pure heart, you're the most beautiful woman i know and even though you smile awkwardly when you're so much happy, for me it's the sweetest smile of all.

                                                                                                                 With all my heart,

                                                                                                                              Love, Self.

'I am god's beloved, that he sacrifice his one and only son."
