My Bucket List

An import from my old blogger site...
Just want to share what I have on my list, what I have done so far and what I need to do...

1. Loose 40-45 lbs.
I have a small frame and I use to be quite thin. Although I wanted to loose weight and hopefully regain what used to be me, for the most part, I want my body to be strong. I am enrolled in a gym...hopefully in boxing and yoga too. Wellness is my priority. <a work in progress, I lost 20 lbs in the past but gained it again after a couple of months,bleh! :D>

2. Learn to drive a 4-wheel vehicle
I think I know how to drive before but I have already forgotten the skill. In the Philippines, learning how to drive is optional but I want my license soooo bad...so here goes! < i could learn it again..but then again..i don't have wheels for now but eventually I have to do it for work >

3. Pass the local PT board exam
One of my biggest frustration. Hey! I am not dumb and stupid...I just need to study real hard. I want to give meaning to my educational journey and I can foresee that  passing this one will be the biggest life changing driver I'll have. < DONE!!! July 2011 >

4.Migrate to USA...I heart NYC
There's no other city like New York City. Sure, there's Paris, Dubai, Milan, Tokyo, etc etc...but NY is the melting pot of all culture in the world. I hunger for what it offers...and I want to go to New York, to fall in love again! hahaha! < a work in progress...I have to finish the pre-requisites first >

5. Pass NPTE


This is a must. 
< working on it right now. non-negotiable >


6. Hot Air Balloon Ride

As a kid, I have always been fascinated with hot air balloons...with all its bright colors and designs. Sure we can ride an airplane, jet and helicopters but this one is special.
<maybe next year, we'll see :p>


7. Run a marathon

Just so.
<ahhh...so achievable yet I can't seem to do it.>


8. Sport a pixie cut like Emma Watson

I used to have short bob hair but never a pixie cut...so here goes!!!
  <not this time...maybe after I'll lose the pounds first>


9. Tour Sagada

They say when you are at the top of the mountains, beyond the  clouds on sunrise, it's like seeing the gates of heaven opening up. I want to experience that even once, to be near to something holy and heavenly, to be able to greet God in all the natures splendid glory.
< I have to go with someone on this one...I don't like to get lost while on vacation >


10. Travel in Southeast Asian Countries

Just so. It's wonderful to travel. Food for the soul!
  <Must do!!!>

11. Pay All Credit Card Debts

So far I have two cards...need a good financial solution.
<Fast approaching!!!>


12. Volunteer for a Charitable Institution

Another food for the soul. I have always wanted to do this - to make a difference in other people's lives in my own little and special way. We should all do this - then maybe we can achieve world peace.
<been thinking about working for a humanitarian group. We'll see how it pans out!>


13. Pass TOEFL/IELTS

Just one of the requirements...but a very important one.
< real soon...after a major exam..please please please>


14. Learn a New Language

English is necessary but learning a new one is an achievement!
<maybe when I see the need...like when I'm working with hispanics or even french! haha!>


15. Learn to Play the Guitar

Ah...the ever elusive instrument...still determined to do this!
<a beautiful frustration>


16. Travel to at least one European Country

Preferably Italy, France or Greece
<We'll see...maybe after I have enough $$$>


17. Fun Dive!

Have done this once, another one would be nice.
<it's the moonsoon season...but we'll see...>


18. Eat Balut!

Something I really want to do for a long time.
  <DONE! gross! hahaha>

19. Take a Picture of Myself for 365 days

A long term project which I hope I can sustain. How hard is it to take a picture right? < need to do this again...sheesh!!!>


20. Go vegetarian for 30 days!

21. Buy a DLSR camera.

22. Get a (dot) com site.

23. Pet! Pet! Pet!
