My sister Queenie asked her 2 kids to list down their christmas wishes and put it in their christmas socks. When the kids were already asleep, she checked the list, and here is what she found out...
kid 1 (7 years old girl)
i wish that i have a story book, my own laptop (sosyal!) , a toy penguin, diaper & toy stroller for tesa (doll), a clown, my own clock, doll house, pajama and new clothes." - pretty normal wishes.
kid 2 (9 years old boy)
"I wish for a math book, psp, nintendo wii, hot wheels set, wrist watch, belt, briefs (my briefs are already bacon), pajama (it's very tight already), forgiveness, self control, a good start of Christmas, wisdom, cold weather, a good family reunion, a healthy family, good health, wealthy country, kind hearted president, peace & order, better country, kindness, tender hearted, prevent temptation, spread God’s word, remember the good news, don’t let everybody give-up ang more blessings to come."
I was really awed by my nephew's wishes. I didn't think a 9 yo kid will actually wish for immaterial things, for others & for the nation. Pwede bang tulungan nyo kaming i-grant ang wishes ni Migi? You really don't have to buy anything for him. Just be a good human beings and love your country.

Dear Migi;
You are one lucky boy - to the parents of Migi - you are much luckier. When you have the time, re-visit the version of Tom Clay of the song "What The World Needs Now" ( what is segregation? I don't know what segregation is ...). Alas, Migi, your wishlist are just too hard to grant in this day and age. Ang hirap hawakan ang mga intangibles. Mas madali -iexplain ang nakikita lalo na through the eyes of a bata. But there has to be a start somewhere. Siguro magandang umpisa ang sinimulan ni Migi.
Nagmamahal iyong Tita - Manang Biday
