Sinong hindi nakaalam sa kasabihan tungkol sa paghiling sa mga bituin?

Bata pa lang ako, naniniwala na ako na kapag humiling ka sa isang bituin, magkakatotoo daw ito. Your wish is its command.

I grew up without a mom. My dad earns for a living to make my future brighter. Lahat ng hindi nagawa ni mama, sya ang kumumpleto. Napakaswerte nga ng mama ko, dahil kwento ni papa, hanggang sa huli, minahal nya si mama. He means it because up until now, he loves me and he will always love me. He's a superdad.

Kaya nang tumungtong ako ng 17, sabi ko, bago ako magdebut, hahanapin ko ang true love ko. I want someone like my dad who will love me for who I am.

I wished for a true love upon a star. But it breaks me many times. I wished again and again. But it hurts me all over again.

After that heartbreaks, I got my siderophobia. Siderophobia is an exaggerated or irrational fear of stars. They don't believe me. Sabi nila, misdiagnosis ang ginawa ko sa sarili ko. But who cares? It's my life and I know that I really have this phobia.

Until this person tried to cross my boundaries. Pina-realize nya sa akin ang mga kalokohan ko. He believes the opposite of what I do. He explains why those stars never granted my wish.

He said, "the distance of a star from the earth is measured by light years. Light years is the distance the light travels in one year. One light year is equivalent to ten thrillion kilometers. How long? You'll have to circle the whole earth 233 times. The point is time changes through distance. Baka kaya hindi natutupad ang wish mo, dahil yung bituing hinilingan mo, matagal na palang sumabog. Sa madaling salita, humihiling ka sa wala."

Sinabi nya sa akin yun, pero I still believe in stars. Doon ko naappreciate ang araw. Sun is a star right? It is the closest star from the earth that measures 0.0000158 light years which is equivalent to 93 million miles.

Doon ko din naapreciate ang top ten closest stars including the sun. Dahil alam ko, hindi pa nag-eexplode yun.

May pag-asa pang mahanap ang true love.

May pag-asa pa.

Yung sampung yun ang sinimulan kong pag-wishan.

At least, I still believe in stars.

Ang di ko lang sure...

"Will the star believe in me?"
