10 things to do before saying Goodbye

From 7forallMankind: So, I was reading a blog… And read an entry for 10 things to do before you die. To you? What 10 things you want to do before you say goodbye?


This thread at my favorite forum site caught my attention (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?p=26818407#post26818407 ) this got me thinking, what do I really want to do before leaving earth?

This looks like a bucket list to me but I am only limited to 10 only. Whew! That’s quite less than what I have in mind but anyway, here’s my own list. Hope you get to share yours too.


1. I want to fall in love and being loved in return by someone. Ever since I was young, I have never experienced falling in love and being loved in return. I wonder how that feels. Makes me all giggly and stupid at the same time for feeling this way since I am already 24 (turning 25 this October), but I think waiting makes it more exciting... and boring at the same time, like duh? Kelan ka ba darating? Atat?

2. I want to try bungee jumping. I remembered one of our trainings with Tina, we have to face our fears in order for us to overcome them, I have been afraid of heights since God knows when. I can foresee that I might back out, when I am already at the edge to jump. My only concern with this is that I might pass out while on air, and I don’t want to miss the feeling. Well, hopefully, that doesn’t happen when i do that.

3. Go and travel all by myself. I am always telling my mom that I will go to Corregidor alone and also some of my friends, but I just can’t get my feet to CCP and buy myself a ticket! But I know, I’ll be doing it as soon as I get my hands on a nifty dslr. Hmm... And when would that be??

4. Learn to play the violin or piano. I have always been fascinated with music, I know I can sing but I want to express it by using instruments as well.

5. Hug everyone I care about. I am never expressive with my own feelings, whenever I am home. I would get to my room and sleep. But I try to connect to them whenever I am in the mood, ask them how their day was and make little kulit to them, make lambing, but I never get to hug them. I want to always remember how they smell like and how their skin feels when I hug them. So probably, I’ll start when they all get home.

6. Help save animals to extinction. I have this feeling that someday, we won’t be able to see any animal around maybe even dogs. I have made a promise to one of my pets, a pet parrot, she’s a blue headed racquet tail bird (I don’t have any pics here but you can always search the internet). Anyway, I have researched that they are already in near extinction. I went to Arranque Market located at Recto ave. and saw that they are being sold there. They are poached and I loathe the fact that I cannot do anything. But when I have mustered enough strength and courage maybe I would be able to help.

7. Go to disco, drink and dance alone. I already been in disco’s with friends but this is because of acquaintance parties in our school’s organization or at the office. I want to know what it feels like being there alone and at my own expense. I don’t know why, but maybe it’s the feeling of independence that drives me to this idea.

8. Go to an island trip with my family. Well, I haven’t spent anything on our family trips and I really want to spend a luxurious trip with them. (Hahahaha! Abi, ambisyon ambisyon! Why not?) Though, I am not capable as of the moment, I am positive that we will be able do this someday.

9. Sing in a big audience. (As in big ah? Tipong mala-Araneta ang dating) This is in line with me conquering one of my fears. I am afraid talking or singing to a crowd.

10. To have a photo exhibit with all of my travel photos at display. This is so impossible but I am hoping this may happen someday. I am not that good now, but I hope my pictures would be able to touch people’s lives and hearts.


How many of these things do you think I would be able to do? Hmm… Let's wait and see.... I am already excited!!
