Chapter Twenty Nine


I’m sure most us have those Genie moments – moments when we desperately hope that a man with unnatural body color, several unnecessary body piercing, a misplaced ponytail and magical powers suddenly appears at our doorway and says “Ohayo gozaimasu! You have three wishes!”

Although it may seem realistic, I guess people still entertain the possibility of having their deepest desires come true. I’ve read somewhere that this actually helps lessen stress and express unvoiced wants and/or needs.

I’m having a Genie moment. I desperately hope that a man with unnatural body color, several unnecessary body piercing, a misplaced ponytail and magical powers suddenly appears at our doorway and says “Ohayo gozaimasu! You have three wishes!”

No more questions, introductions, comments, and/or suggestions. I would wish right away.

“Mr. Genie, here is my wish list. And I hope that soon you would suddenly appear at my doorway and immediately, without second thoughts and/or hesitations, grant them.”


My Wish List

1. I wish for more wishes.
2. I wish I had finally graduated college and I learned all I need to know.
3. I wish I live abroad -somewhere far and peaceful and convenient.

More wishes (see wish 1):

4. I wish I’m rich.
5. I wish I have a big dog (German Shepherd or something like that) and I wish that he will be nice to Tammy, my Maltese puppy wannabe.
6. I wish I suddenly learned how to drive my own Pontiac.
7. I wish I live near the beach.
8. I wish I have my own personal library complete with books I have yet to read and enjoy.
9. I wish I know who my soul mate is.
10. I wish that when I am sixty, I will still be able to sit in a bench and watch the sea with whoever my soul mate is.
11. More wishes.

I know there’s a lot more. But I have yet to make sure that I will not regret making those wishes.

But if I have to boil it down to three main, realistic wishes, it would be the following:

1. I wish I would graduate college and become a successful nurse in a place I’m proud to call “home”.
2. I wish I will have a very happy family life (both of orientation and of procreation)
3. I wish that I will properly fulfill God’s Will for me here on Earth.

Somehow, writing down those three main wishes seemed more fulfilling than jotting down a numerous superficial wishes. I’m glad I learned something.
