I WISH...
...I was 5'9" tall or at least 5'7"
...I got a nice body, great posture, perfect bones, and a pretty face
...i was talented and intelligent
...my family was rich and they had great jobs
...my siblings were professionals and had good standings in life
...no one among us had a permanent illness
...i could be one of the models in ramp, commercial, or print ads
...i could have circle of friends composed of beautiful people
...i could finish my studies
...i could have a good career which is the one that i love
...i could be one of the prominent personalities on TV
...i could have a nice wife and beautiful children who will love me forever
...my family could be happier and contented with a comfortable life
...i could travel
...there are only minimum frustrations
...there is lesser pain and problems that can be overcame
...i could give more to charities and to the needy
...i could give all my friends a real good time and hang-out
...i could give full satisfaction to my family
...i could be nicer when all these wishes come true
...that i wasn't crying right now.
The things that I should not be wishing because they are supposed to be given at birth... but they were not. How unfair this world can be that I was prevented to experience all of those that people are enjoying. It's totally unfair and the fact is totally bullshit.

I Love This Life Because...
When I was still in school, I used to be one of the students who writes well when it comes to formal and informal-themed essays whether it is creative writing or journal. But I was wondering what could be the hardest essay topic for me to write. And I found out today that this is the hardest topic to write an essay about:
"I love this life because..."
I'm thinking...thinking so hard. I am draining all my brain power. I just can't think of something to write about that essay topic. I can't even fill-in the blank. I can't think of words to write because it should be factual according to my own experience.
"I love this life because..."
Waahhh...hindi talaga ako makaisip ng idudugtong ko! It has to be what I feel. And it should be based on my own experiences and what I love about my own life. I love this life because...? Wala talaga akong mailagay. Pero ako lang ang makakasagot nito. Any help? Anyone who can give me an idea for the reason to love the life that I have? Maybe because it was given by God, I am thankful. But that's beside the point. The topic is not "I'm thankful with this life because...", but it says...
"I love this life because..."
I'm thankful that God gave me this life. I am honored and thankful that God loved me in the sense that He gave me the chance to live as a human being and I'm so much thankful about that. But the question lies in the time when you are already there in that life that He gave and what will make you love it. And that is the point of the question--"what makes you love this life that you have been thankful about?"
Thankful? Yes, definitely. But do you love the life that you have?
Maybe I can separate the word "life" into 2 concepts.
- Life (1) - the miraculous thing, or the gift to exist, or the magical breath that God gave humans. It can be comparable to a gift given to you in a birthday party.
- Life (2) - the circumstances that you are experiencing with the Life (1) that you have been given. I can refer it to "living the Life (1) that you have." It can be comparable to your experiences with the gift someone gave you in a birthday party.
I am so thankful and I love God for giving me Life (1) but I don't know if I can be thankful with the second concept of Life (2). Life (2) is the one that I am referring to with the essay that I can hardly answer--
"I love this life because..."
Ohh..it's really difficult for me to answer. Can someone help me and give me an idea?
