I have to admit my groupmates and I didn't take this one seriously; the only instruction we complied to is our teacher's unintended joke of drawing the poster (derived from our wishlist) like kindergartners. Check our wishlist out:
How did the three of us come up with these?
1. The nominal GDP per capita (as of 2009) is $1746. Compared to other countries, that just sucks. Business-wise, the Chinese community dominates the Philippine market and we can't blame them. They're ambitious and goal-oriented, and they don't complain whenever their parents ask them to do two thousand math problems per night to compensate for a 93% grade in Calculus. Filipinos (in general) won't do two hundred math problems even if they got paid for it.
2. Hovercrafts are just cool. If you've read the Hunger Games trilogy, you'll know what I'm saying. I want to experience paralysis caused by electric currents before being raised up into the hovercraft. Currently the Philippines has public utility vehicles (a.k.a the jeep) for transportation, which makes you feel like you're going out to war. And imagine how much smoke can be spared from emission if there were solar-powered hovercrafts! (Plus, what could possibly be more efficient than to have a fridge on it?!)
3. One of the main problems here in the Philippines is the land, or lack thereof. Dump sites are expanding faster than helium balloons attached to pumps and forests are, well, being deforested. The mountainsides aren't safe places to live in anymore because of landslides and soil erosions. Areas by rivers are polluted and smell like my dog's poop (I'm not incinerating anything here). To escape from such misfortunes, families opt to congest themselves together in cramped "mini-neighborhoods" like mucus in a runny nose. Still, no one deserves to live in places like these. I demand the Philippines go into rehab.
4. The saying, "Money doesn't grow on trees" should be false. Imagine trees as ATM's... You slide your card into a slot in the tree bark and the twigs unfasten so you can pick a leaf. Leaf, meaning money.
5. The common cold is caused by rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. Of course curing it would be extremely difficult, like finishing a research paper in twenty minutes. The least anyone can do is create a vaccine against rhino-/coronaviruses. I'm hoping a Filipino will be the first to create a treatment or vaccine for the common cold to make up for the many mortifications our country has experienced.
6. SNOW, cool summers. That is all we want.
7. Wouldn't it be cool to someday walk in a metropolis and see your classmates' names plastered unto high-rise buildings (skyscrapers ftw, mind you)?! Or probably the physically superior would have their faces on gigantic billboards and the not-tone-deaf's songs would be heard over HD speakers scattered all over the city. It'd be like you rule the world, only your world exists within a part of the world and the geographical area is a hundredth of that part within the world. Nevertheless, you have power; you are known. Immortality, that's what they call it.
8. Since klutzy people like me, who are too cool to be careful around fragile objects, exist, manufacturers will be forced to create a new touchscreen technology that guarantees fully scratch-proof products. The world will run out of buttons and they will be left with nothing but touchscreen appliances.
9. The Philippines should publicize itself more by sending heralds down to the earth and asking parents-to-be to create ultra-intelligent and talented children who will someday be Nobel Prize winners. (The Filipino I predict to produce a vaccine against the common cold will be the first.)
10. I know you know you want this.
Our wishlist came with this poster:
Too much sophistication leads to immature visual perspectives. Trust me. (Yes, that is Dora beside the white board.)
