Just when I was about to lose my faith in television,
here comes a new tv series that caught my attention.

Heroes.

A certain group of individuals, discovers their unnatural talent,
and tries to make sense of what they are becoming.

It’s Brilliant!

Who among us never dreamed of becoming one?
Or just to have special powers?

I surely did.

I remember when I was a kid,
my two greatest fantasies about having special powers were:

Teleportation,
and Time Travel.

Mainly because of the long commute I have going to school
and hating the traffic every single day.

I wanted to just “Teleport” myself and be there on time,
without any hassle.

“Time Travel” because mostly when I get to school,
I often realize that I have forgotten something.

My wallet,
my homework,
my lunch,
(my pants,)
my school bag.
Whatever.

Then I would desperately wish I could travel back in time and get it.

Now that I am older,
I still wish for those two superpowers
but for very different reasons.

Teleportation, just because of having the power to escape
whatever situation you have gotten yourself into.

And Time Travel, just so you can go back
and fix whatever you hate in your life.

Come to think of it,
these two superpowers sounds like you have to do a lot of work.
And a lot of thinking.

And more work is something we should really try to avoid.
Let alone thinking.

So okay then.

Screw it.

I don’t need these powers.

What I really need,
and I’m sure you’ll agree with me,
is a freakin’ Genie.
