At 22, I Believe

1. In God, in Jess, although sometimes I tend to doubt him when I am in pain.
2. That the main purpose of rain is to quench the thirst of tiny plants and the dry earth. To bring about the suspension of classes, is only secondary.
3. That Christmas is the best holiday.
4. That every child should own a box of Crayola crayons.
5. In fairies. And fairy tales--not necessarily in them coming true, but at least in the comforting thought that things will turn out okay in the end, and we'll all live happily ever after.
6. That cows are adorable creatures.
7. Ice cream should not be eaten alone.
8. That pink is such a pretty color.
9. That every girl should never go out without a little blush, mascara, and some lip color. But she should always believe that she is pretty even without make-up.
10. That instead of staging people power revolutions, Filipinos should instead invest their time and effort in finding a solution to our problems. Stop blaming every little problem to the whoever is President. Remember, the President is as human as we all are, and he or she should not be blamed for natural calamities, global warming, pollution, and the celebrity break-ups.
11. Sundays are for family.
12. That love is a movement. "I know you are there for me because my love is moving towards you."
13. That children are our future. (Teach them well and let them lead the way)
14. I am a Queen.
15. Most Chinese boys are selfish. And they don't have the balls to fight for what they want. In other words, they're idiots and assholes.
16. Every woman must own a pair of lusty, red shoes.
17. In Santa Claus.
18. Fridays are perfect days to fall in love--and so are rainy days.
19. That love does not require seeing each other everyday. Absence still makes the heart grow fonder.
20. That there is no such thing as confusion--just moments of extreme stupidity.
21. That 80's music is timelessly funky.
22. That God is in most people we meet. Sometimes, He is in the moment.
