Scribesmeister v4 (In Zero Gravity)

I was juggling work and household chores today. It’s a tough one, mind you - especially when you’ve been working on a mind-boggling task the whole week. And I hope I’m close to learning the secret formula or else, I’ll keep getting headaches. Anyway, despite running errands, I always see to it that I accomplish something and finish my assignments at the end of the day.

I didn’t have time to go shopping yesterday because of the bad weather and I couldn’t think of something to give to TJ for his birthday so I postponed it ’til later. And until then, I still couldn’t think of anything for his present - so you know what I bought him? Baby supplies! Food, diapers, milk, cereals and all those stuff. Haha! Additional gallons of ice cream! I wasn’t able to cook for him since I was too busy. And I asked them not to have a party anywhere but here so that I could attend. And it was fun. Kiddie parties are always fun, right?:) My inner child is jumping up and down again. I stopped having parties when I was twelve. That was my last. And I think I never had a real party after that. Not even on my debut. Haha. I remember how horrible my 18th birthday went. Oh, (note to Sarj) don’t remind me of my birthday and the fact that it’s less than 3 months away from now.

Aww, I wanna be a kid again - to able to sleep peacefully at night without worrying about anything, do anything as I wish without being conscious about what people might think of me, give one’s trust without any hint of doubt and believe, once again, in magic, dreams, fantasies…

just like the time I once believed in Santa Claus and the time when all my wishes seem to come true by simply believing. Maybe the reason why wishes remain as wishes because I don’t have enough belief…nor faith.

So I as I lit the sole candle on the cake, my nephew’s gaze wandered away from me to the candle. He stared at it for a while and for a moment I wondered what he was thinking before Ethan disrupted his thoughts with the words…”make a wish!hurry!”

Instantaneously, as strange as it may seem, I found myself wishing instead…

I don’t know who blew it away, but when I opened my eyes…the light was already out. I was pretty sure it was Ethan, but I felt relieved in a real weird way. Is this the start of hoping for the impossible again?
