  1. Apollo, I wish to her the person involve in Pork Barrel Scam say the truth and face the consequences that they did. Because Apollo is god of Truth I will wish to her that people like me didn't commit dishonesty. In the government "honesty" makes a big change in terms respect or dignity/ being responsible on what they did and our country become more progressive.

  2. I’ll probably talk with Aphrodite, who is the Goddess of love, beauty and desire. I’ll ask her to flood the world with pure love, beauty from the inside and desire to make things right. No jealousy. Just trust. No lies. Just honesty. No hatred. Just love. I know it would be a no thrill perfect life with endless happiness which is very impossible to happen but you can’t blame me for asking Aphrodite to make our world faultless because I just feel that all the dramas, crime, corruption and other bad scenarios that are happening nowadays are just too much already. It’s very unfair for those people who always understand, accept and love for at the end of the day, they are the one who are always in pain.

  3. Perhaps, I'll talk with Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Aside from my desire for her to bestow us with a long-lasting memory (no more memory gap haha), I want good and bad memories be the inspiration of each one of us to go on with life. I want Mnemosyne to unfold the things that brought us joy and sorrow, not to change them but to make these things the foundation of a stronger will-power. I hope that these won't weaken us but will strengthen our beliefs and push us to strive for betterment.

  4. If I would be given a chance to talk to a god/ goddess I would talk to Athena. I'll ask her for wisdom,courage,inspiration,strength and mathematical knowledge,so that I can be courageous in giving inspiration to other people and strength in using my gift of wisdom to answer every obstacle I'll be facing and lastly i would ask her for Mathematical Knowledge so i would never be afraid facing Mr. Limpiada every TTH 2:30-4:00.

  5. I would love to talk to Eros, mostly known for being the god of love. I'll ask him to shot each of his shafts into the heart of the love of persons who are unfortunately in the situation of what we called "one-sided love" so that they will never ever felt the pain of being rejected and unloved.

  6. Cupid, How do you know if that person is a perfect match for you? You keep matching lovers yet your love ends tragic how can you assure that mine was different from yours? If love was blind, what about the features that can be seen and has to be said the creation of god through his love to us? Why there has always a posibillity of being hurt when it comes to love?
