Life's a Game
Life's a Game
I can imagine myself fifteen years from now already a
successful computer engineer married to a beautiful woman and having three
children, one son and two daughters. We
would live in a two storey house with a front porch where the kids can play,
and at the side there would be a dog house which my son and I would build and
we would have a dog named Marlee who is a very faithful bulldog. I imagine we
would be living somewhere in the United States of America and where I will
pursue my dream to become a National Basketball Association All-Star player. I
wish to belong in Los Angeles Lakers team, but really, any time would do.
I would
happen to also work in a well-known company which gives a good salary so I can
provide my family their wants and needs.
I will manage my time between work and home because I want to spend more
time with my loved ones. I will teach my
children good manners and to be God-fearing.
We would go to church during Sundays and spend quality time
together. I would probably even train my
own son basketball so that he can follow my footsteps of becoming an NBA
player. As for my two daughters, they
would be two graceful ballerinas immersed in musical instruments such as piano
and violin. As for my loving and most
caring wife, she would be the most rational, independent and strong woman I
have ever met and that I am the luckiest man to have her. There might be much I expect of my family and
I might sound like a perfectionist but all I really want is for us to be happy
all the time.
At the
age of twenty-nine, I would have already bought a private jet that would take
us anywhere around the world. We would
go to Hawaii when it gets too cold in the US, or to Alaska and see the northern
lights, or might it be in the Philippines so we can see our family and
relatives anytime. We would buy a rest
house in Boracay so that we can stay there during our vacation.
When we
visit the Philippines, I would teach my children the traditions and ways of the
Filipinos so that the Filipino spirit will live within them and not just in
their blood.
By this
time, I would also have brought my parents a house and lot plus a swimming pool
so that they would also enjoy. I will
visit them from time to time because I miss them easily and I know they will
like it because their grandchildren will be there to entertain them and keep
them company. We would have plenty of
family reunions and I would get to see my parents, sisters, cousins, aunts,
uncles and grandmother to keep the bond in our family strong. I love family gatherings because despite
everything that’s going on in our own busy lives, we still got our loved ones
who are truly there for us and got our backs no matter what happens. That’s what family is for.
During
our vacation in the Philippines, I would also visit my friends and old
schoolmates, who would, by then be successful in their own field. We’ll be having a get-together and catch up
on one another’s lives. It’s hard to
notice how fast time flies while keeping up with our current lives and working. I wouldn’t be so shocked to find out that one
of my classmates from high school is the owner of his own business company or
to have a toast for the upcoming wedding of one of my best friends since
elementary. There might be some things I
wouldn’t have expected but that’s life; you can never guess what’s going to
happen next.
If by
that time I would have already committed all my dreams and wishes in life, I will
still not stop working. My father always
tells me that the key to success is hard work and perseverance. I really look up to him because he is the
reason why I am what I’ve become today. I
also admire my mother for being gentle and graceful even in the midst of
troubles and problems that life throws at us.
Both of them are my role models and I aspire to become all those good
qualities that they have. I promise
them, and to myself, that I will do well in school so that I can excel in
life.
As I have
been thinking about it, life is nothing but a game. And we are nothing but the players. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we don’t. Since it’s already the twentieth century, the
game is changing fast and we must cope with today’s technologies, happenings
and trends in order to live a balanced life.
I couldn’t imagine what other new technologies might come fifteen years
from now.
