She is my Hero.

You had me in your tummy for nine months. Nine months of heavy feeling, nine months of not being able to eat the food you want, and nine months of mood swings which is a no-no for dad. I know it wasn't easy, but I was sure you're happy. I gave you so much pain-probably the most painful time of your life-though I was just coming out, but you forgave me for it. You had sleepless nights because of me, but still you're there. You taught me life's most important words: "mom" and "dad". You were so patient in holding me and teaching me how to walk, and whenever I fall down, you just don't get tired of helping me to get up.You showed me how wonderful God is and taught me prayers. You taught me more than my teacher did. You never get tired of answering my questions, probably the stupidest questions you've ever heard. No one can ever comfort me like you do on my saddest days. And when all my friends hate me, you'll hug me and say "come on, let's play!". You were my playmate when no one wanted to. You may not know it, but whenever you're gone, I miss you so much like you're gone for a long time. You're the best nurse there is when I'm sick. Telling me medicines taste fine, needle pokes are just like ant bites, and crying will just make me feel worse.

Sometimes I wish that I would never grow up so I'll be your baby forever. I know you'd wish for that too because you don't want that time to come when I won't need you anymore. But you're wrong. Yes, I'm all grown up, but I need you more than ever, mommy. I need you to comfort me when I'm frustrated or depressed. I need you to scold me when I don't do good in school or when I fight with my siblings. I need you to nurse when I'm sick. I need you to tell me it's okay. I need someone like you to be with me and guide me.

You have no idea how thankful I am that among all the babies in heaven waiting to be sent here, he chose me to be with you. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve an amazing mom like you. If people say no one is perfect, well you are a step closer to being one. You are my Idol and my hero. Stronger than Superman and prettier than Wonder Woman. I wish to be like you someday, but I know I can't because no one can be like you. You're one of a kind. No words nor action can express how thankful I am to have you as a mom. I know "thank you" is not enough after everything you've sacrificed for me. You are the best creation of God. I love you, Mom. Happy Mother's day!

wishes oh wishes..

A wish is the hope or desire for something.

When I was younger, my birthday was my most awaited day (next to Christmas). I thought it was really exciting to see your friends, eat your cake, play, and open gifts. I just have the best times of my life on my birthday and sometimes I wish it would be my birthday everyday. But yeah, that's nuts 'coz I'll be too old by now or probably dead. :p

Speaking of WISHES, I've always made wishes during my birthdays. Well, we all do, right? :) I wished for dolls, game consoles, more dolls, a bike, more dolls, clothes, and dolls, other toys, plus more dolls, a scooter, and more dolls, gadgets, and more and more dolls. My parents only give me one item per birthday since I sometimes get new items on regular days. But as I grow up, my wishes became more, let's say mature. Physically, I wish for material things but inside I wish for my family, my future, and my country. I just don't say it out loud because people said you just have to keep your wishes to yourself or it will not come true at all.

Then I wondered "do wishes really come true?" "is there really like a fairy who makes your wishes come true?" Well, for me, wishes are short term goals. No, there no fairies (sad but true), but yes wishes do come true. They come true ONLY and ONLY if you work hard for it. If you really have that want for that wish and if you PRAY for it. Then that certain time will come when your wish will come true- the time when you really deserve to have it.

Sigh. One month to go 'til 18th birthday and I've decided to make an ultimate wish. A wish that certain people can make it real. A wish I know I deserve to get because of my hard works but I think it's not enough yet. It's simple, yet ultimate for me. Some may think it's "corny" or lame, but for me it's a dream come true. I know it will come true. I just know. :)

How 'bout you? Do you think you're deserving enough for the things you have right now? The things that once was your wish?
