What do i do if i only have 24 hours left?

All that’s Left

What if 24 hours is all that’s left? All that’s left for you to spare and enjoy? How would you spend it and make it worthwhile? All my life I have strived and did everything to fit in, be happy, and survive. It’s been almost like a roller coaster ride, full of ups and downs, full of twists and turns, which made my life exciting and terrific but, what if this life that I have now will be taken away from me within 24 hours. How would I spend it?

Most people would probably spend their last 24 hours freaking out, crying, and begging God for an extension but, I believe that if it’s really the end, we can’t do anything about it. It would be a waste spending all of your last hours crying and mourning. As for me, I would spend it and make it the best 24 hours of my life. So, let’s do the countdown! For my first two hours, I would spend it eating all of my favorite foods at my favorite restaurants and try eating those that I have never eaten before. Of course, I need a lot of energy for the coming hours and if the story that there’s no food in heaven is true, then I would be filling my stomach up good for almost like forever. For my next two hours, I would watch all of my favorite television shows, cartoons, anime, reality shows and even those tear-jerking drama series. I just hope that there are televisions in heaven because I would not want to miss an episode of those shows. After watching the television, I will sit in front of the computer and spend my next two hours surfing the net and watching all of my favorite videos on YouTube. Now, since I may not be able to personally bid farewell to all my friends, I will open my Facebook account and say goodbye to them. I will make a video thanking them for being into my life, for all the day and night outs, for touching my heart, for being an inspiration and above all for being a blessing to me. After that, I’m going to go out with my family and spend the rest of my savings shopping for them. We’ll eat, play and watch a movie or two. I could not bring those savings anyways!

                After four hours of family bonding, it’s now time for some alone time with myself. For the next two hours, I will go to the church, attend the mass, and confess all my sins so that somehow before I die, I die in peace. I will also pray that God protects my family from all harm and keep them inside the chambers of His mighty love and guidance including those who are dear to me and close to my heart. I will thank God for the gift of life that He had given and for guiding me in making it worthwhile. After that, I will go to an hour of tour to my dear Alma Maters in elementary, high school, and now in college. This would help me reminisce and relive the past that shaped me as to what I am today. The past that taught me a lot of valuable lessons that aided me in living my life. Then, I will go to different disco halls and bars and burn all of these fats through dancing and having fun by meeting other people. Who knows I might meet someone who’s on the same page as I am. After about an hour of wandering around, I will go home and help my mom do the household chores, the things that I should have started doing when I still had a lot of time. I will wash my clothes, wash the dishes and clean the entire house. Keeping myself busy would lessen the thought of me dying within just a few hours. Then, I will talk to my family and tell them how much I love them and how much I am thankful that God had given them to me. With the remaining ten hours of my existence, I will allocate two hours of it writing a summary of my whole life, my experiences and adventures, so that even when I’m gone they could still vividly recall all our memories and moments together, the laughs, the fights, the cries, and the smiles, that even strengthened our rapport. Then, what’s a better way to end my life than sleeping it all out? For the next 8 hours, I’m going to have my very last complete sleep on my bed. In this way, my death would not be that sudden and besides, who would want to bring eye bags and sleepy eyes in heaven? Of course, I would like to rest and recuperate my energy for I know that my next life would be full of great adventures and excitement!

Life is not about living long but living great keeping your principles and morals in check and living it with dignity and integrity. We should live our lives not just to be happy but to be alive.  No matter how difficult life can be, we should hold on to the one whom we get all of our energy from and that is God. We must always live our lives to its fullest even when 24 hours...
 Is all that’s left.



P.S. Don't get me wrong. I don't want to die yet. I still have a lot of foods to eat. WHA !?
