My Bucket List


But, who cares everybody deserves a break right?!? (I wanna eat KitKat!! Huh?! Hehe!) And, as for me, I consider this as my so-called break, freeing all the gushing thoughts twirling in my mind, writing I mean. So, what topic shall I open for this blog entry?! Uhmmmm....Let me think....Lalalalalala!!

Sitting in front of my lappy and staring at this blank page, I started dreaming and thinking about what things I'd put in my "BUCKET LIST". Some of these may seem very selfish, but a 'bucket list' is really not meant to be altruistic; it's a list of things YOU really want to do before you die. Don't know what to write..I'll just write a list..My Bucket list!

"WHAT I DO TODAY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I AM EXCHANGING A DAY OF MY LIFE FOR IT." - Hugh Mulligan

**Do bungee jumping. =) Swear!! That's my ultimate dream. I like to experience the wonderful feeling of being free by falling off a really really high place. Haha!

**Go to Europe/Paris. I totally adore this place!! It's just so clean and nice and beautiful! Extremely stunning. (Problem: Where to get the money?? Show me the mo-ney! Haha! Someday I will be there! *crossed fingers**

**Win the lottery, a big lottery. Is there anybody else who doesn't want lot of money and hitting the jackpot??

**Pursue my passion and turn it into a career.

**Have a family someday or as said meet the special man who will make my heart melts. Just wanna feel special. Just wanna be loved by someone other than my family and friends...shocks!!! Mushy!! Drama!! Lalalalala...still waiting!! Where art thou?!?! Hey, hear me out!! Haha. Chos!! :P

**Go sky diving.


**Swim with and hug a dolphin.


**Stare a shark in the face. As if I can do it!! But I want to!!

**Watch live of a NBA game. Of course with the Lakers game. I'm a die hard fan!! I want to hug, see and take picture with Kobe!! Wooohh!! :))

**I'd like to have my own brand new car and enjoy all that goes along with that. I would not prefer a luxury vehicle FOR NOW. Reality check!! Maybe when I became a millionaire I'll have one. LOL Just an ordinary car or a small SUV would be fine.

**Play dress up and wear all the clothes from known fashion brands and have a photoshoot.

**Visit at least once all the Seven wonders of the world.


**Change someones life for a better and be a source of inspiration for those who want to live an unconventional life.

So that's some of MY BUCKET LIST. Whaddaya think?? That's what's in my head at the moment...of course there are lots of things I wanna do but, I think these things tops off the list....Time can tell! Just sharing! :3

Never Date a Writer


Just want to share this piece of article to you guys!

NEVER DATE A WRITER by xstephens


Never date a writer because she'll fictionalize everything. She'll write about things you have done to her, or things you never did for her. She'll write about how you never bought her flowers. Not once. She'll say in well-constructed prose how the whole time you were together, she never came home from a long week to see a vase full of roses, or diaries, or anything.

She'll describe times you embarrassed her, like at a party. It was her party because she was leaving for three months, and all her friends were there to see her off. People bought her champagne, which was never chilled, but you drank it anyway and that was after you had whiskey. She'll talk about how you played strip poker with others. And she walked in to see your clothes bunched up on the floor, next to smashed cigarette butts. She'll say how she had to cover you with a coat because all her friends laughed about it, and so did you. Then, she'll describe how later, when she didn't want to leave you and she wanted to be held, she heard you vomit in the bathroom. She'll say how she had to make sure you were still alive and how she saw your faced pressed against the toilet and how your legs shook on the tile. And she said your name and asked if you were okay and you just stared at her through half opened eyelids and looked away. She'll say she couldn't make love to you and she had to stay up and make coffee, before you took her to the airport.

She'll continue this emphasis on what had you done to her, by describing things she had found, but said nothing about. Like when she opened your wallet to slide twenty dollars inside, because you had bought her dinner. She'll say how she sat on the hardwood floor where the heat couldn't reach and she shivered. She'll explain the condom she found, and how it was lubricated and had small writing on the package she couldn't see because her eyes watered. She'll talk about the note she found from a girl she didn't know but you did because in the scribbled handwriting she could make out your name. You were asleep on the bed and she was on the floor. She'll tell the reader how she held her legs and tapped her chin against her knee. And she decided that it's not wrong from men to have friends, because all men have friends, so she closed the wallet and slept without a blanket on the floor.

She'll later describe the moment in the bedroom when she sat at the foot of the bed and you kneeled in front of her. She'll give you short choppy dialogue, so that you sound distant. She'll tell the reader how you said it's not that you didn't  love her but you couldn't be with her and that it's more your fault than hers, except she'll tell it much more compellingly. She'll describe how she choked on her tears and tried not to vomit right in front of you. And how she looked at the poster on the wall, the one she bought for you and how the different colors turned together when you spoke. She'll say how the bed you had brought from your place felt like steel and she couldn't move because her legs were welded there and she could only listen to you and watch the colors of the room turn gray. 

And she'll send you manuscript and you'll be on the couch where you both had sat and you'll read every word. You'll notice she didn't tell things, like the time you had to see her because she had been sick with the flu and unable to get out of bed. And you ran from the campus to her apartment to make sure she was okay. You ran in the dark and there was so much snow that your legs began to freeze. And she won't tell the reader how you didn't have gloves or good shoes and you couldn't see the patch of ice and you slipped. She won't tell them you slipped. You twisted your ankle and your face landed in a snow bank. She won't describe the taste in your mouth, how you pulled yourself up and limped up to her apartment. You used the key she'd just given you and she won't say how nice it was being able to enter unannounced. And she won't say how good it was to see her asleep and that you kissed her on the top of her head and staggered home. She won't move into your head and explain how much you really loved her. How you almost started to cry when you walked. You shook from the wind but felt safe because she was.

You'll sit alone on that couch where you made love to her and you won't move and the glass of whiskey on the table will not be touched. You won't get up to turn up the lights and you won't get up to use the restroom even though you have to. You'll sit in the dim of your living room. And you will read.

This sounds like a sound advice. This one is a lovely piece. I like it. Did you?? However, it is turning tables and reminding us all what it's like to be on the other side. Since, I'm fond of writing it made me think about the way I write about my feelings, experiences, about the people in my own life, what I choose to include and what I "forget" to take in. But, while reading this I just notice - "she". What if the writer is a guy? Just a thought! Anyway, why people shouldn't date a writer?? - Because they can 'eviscerate you in fiction. Every single pimple. every character flaw..you will be naked for eternity. - G. Chaucer"

TIME GOES BY...


"Time isn't what makes friendship last. It's love and devotion that keeps the tie between the souls."

One Friday afternoon (Nov. 18, 2011) our friend, Clang told us that she has a surprise with us! We really make weird guesses like we're playing pinoy henyo asking her, "Tao ba to?" "Pagkain ba to?" "Baboy ba to?" and everything. Then, BOOM!!! as we walked we were so shock and surprised when we see Bobby and Paige. 

Finally, after almost four months of not seeing each other! Here they are making time to see us. We were like little children hugging freely inspite of those people keep on looking on us! Bobby is overwhelmed with our reactions when we saw them because we all turn red and excited! Hahaha
From Left to right: Clang, Bobby, Angie, Paige, Me and Mommy Gina!
Since, its lunch time we decided to eat at Jollibee and of course, "kwento", laughing and telling each other stories is also really a part of that day. I enjoyed the meal, but I was in heaven with the company and conversations most! It was good to just sit down there and reminisce about our past "kalokohans" and talk about different things like our next bonding day and even some hot issues and many more.
7 of us here. But since there's no one who will take our picture. Bobby do the honor.
Bern, Clang, Angie, Mommy Gina, Paige, and me. 
So, obviously we didn't take as many photographs as we should have. That's what happens when I just enjoy myself. These are the kinds of moments that I love.

And to end this blog post, it is important to surround yourself with people who you can trust, inspire you, are supportive (optimistic) and are REAL! God bless us! Hope to meet this people again soon! :))
