for this wonderful thurday thingy
visit and join the fun
If you were stranded on a desert island, who would you want to be with you?The genie! Because I would rather be on a fairy tale than to really be on such desolate place on earth. And I would rather have the genie than Alladin because then I can wish to be outta there the moment I hear a lizard ticking! Plus 2 other wish that includes my Alladin ;)
I have always admired those ladies on the ramp showing off their beautiful clothes designed by certain this and that. If only...don't laught okay?
If only I'm a few inches more than my present height. How few? Well, about 8 inches more! (told you not to laugh!). My dad used to tell me whenever I voice out that wish when I was young, that the people may not see me amongst the other models beside me. haha.
So now, 3 decades after, whenever I see modeling, can't help but wish that I am destined to be tall.
When I was a little girl, I remember wishing to be a full grown lady. Seeing those well dressed women walking near our place as they hurry to their work early mornings, I see their beautiful faces with paints and colors. I envy them wearing dresses like my Barbie dolls; shoes that make them look real chic as they glide along in those sticks attached to their soles. I even take a peek on my mom’s drawer for the different ornaments she herself wear when she goes to the office. How I wished to be so grown-up that I can be in the kitchen without them saying “run a long and play in the family room” nor will anyone force me out of my bed to go ride my school bus. I’ve wondered so long, “When will I ever grow up to be like mom?”
Not long after, I am here wishing I can turn back time and be the little girl everybody wants to care for. When adults do their best to get a kiss from you, when they carry you up when you’re tired from walking the mall, when they clean you up at night when you’re so sleepy you don’t have the energy to do so…when you don’t have to think of anything else but PLAY.
This is where people’s discontentment comes in. What we Filipino’s call “Sala sa init, sala sa lamig”. You don’t know where you really want to be. Now, one thing I am sure of, I want to be able to reach the perfect place where there will be NOTHING to wish for anymore because you have it all…HEAVEN! =)
