Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing great. Please do take some rest if you feel tired cause our body has a limitation. I am trying to say this to you out of concern because today I am not feeling well. My head is aching plus my hard cough won't let me stop barking π (if you know what I mean). To the point that it makes my back ache and my throat hurts. I think I had a flu today so I am slugging off again wanting to rest but my brain keep on telling me you should write something for today. My apologies for the unresponded comments and unread stories.
So, here I am sharing to you my bucket list since this is what has been going on with my little brain right now. I am so sorry if I couldn't tag my friend here whom inspired me to write my own bucket list since I couldn't remember who is it. And it has been few days from now so it was flooded by his/her new article as well. My apologies. I tried hard to the point that I scan every friend's account but I couldn't find it really. Friend if you're reading this and remember that you're the one who write about bucket lists then give me a heads up in the comment section below. Thank you.
Sorry for the long introduction let me start my writings now. Thanks for the patience though.
Did you know that I am hesitant to share this to you not because it's sensitive or what but because I don't really know what's bucket list mean. Lol. So, I search for the meaning of it. According to Annette in her Bucket list Journey article the meaning of bucket list is
Simply, a collection of goals, dreams and aspirations that you would like to accomplish within your lifetime. The basic meaning of a bucket list is to keep track of your goals and to take steps to achieving these goals in order to maximize the incredible experiences in your life.
I thought bucket list are the things that a sick person wanted to do before they die. But it's not. So, let's push it through. π π
My official bucket list
Have a stable job
First thing first, for me to accomplish other things I need money. For me to have money I should have a stable job. So the first thing in this list is to have a stable job. This really what I struggle the most nowadays. I am not peaky when it comes to job or work. I could work anything but since the society build this poor mindset that a graduate of four year course is not acceptable for a sales lady then that's not my problem anymore. I had a lot of pressure in my shoulders right now. Since my parents is expecting me to land a good job in the government as a public teacher because that's what they send me to become. They thought that after graduation I will have job right away. But that's not what happened. You knew what happened right? So let's not dig deeper about it.
Having stable job to sustain me and my family's needs. And to pursue other goals as well.
Buy a land
If I could have stable job, I want to buy a land for the family. As you all know, we don't own land since we came here in my father's hometown. We change place from time to time because of that reason alone. We just move last year and the house that we work hard to build was destroyed again. It's hard especially for father. So, if I could afford to buy a land even just a small one to call our own then I would. I will work hard for it to happen. This is my dream even when I am still in college. This reason keeps me going and reminded me every time I almost wanted to quit.
Build a house
You already know what's comes next with the land. Of course the house. I always wanted to build a house for my parents. Not the rich house even just a simple one. Let me share this to you, since I was young our house was never finished, even until know. It's not that we don't want to but since we are thinking "why finishing it when years from now we'll move again" because it's not ours yet. And because it's not finished there's lot of struggles we face along the way. The rain, the wind and lot more.
So I am thinking if ever I could buy a lot for the family I would love to build a small house. One that we could feel comfortable and safe. And we could call our own.
Have my own room
As I told you already that our house was never finished up until now. I don't have personal space. We all don't have personal space in the house. So, I always dreamed of having my own space. I wanted to have my own room in the future house that I will be building. Even just a small space will do. I wanted to design it my own. Have cabinet and own table inside. I always look forward to have this in the future. I know it would take long for me to have it but I will still wanted to have it in my bucket list.
Travel to different places
This one is my favorite. I love to be in different places but I have 3 place that I really wanted to visit in the future. These are Palawan, Paris, and Seoul South Korea.
Palawan
I always dreamed of going to Palawan and feel the sand in my feet. Their beautiful sea and caves. It made me excited even just thinking about it.
Paris
Paris is always been close to my heart. I don't know, I just to be in Eiffel tower myself. Take a picture near the fountain and would experience the beautiful place.
Seoul South Korea
It's not that I love Oppa or Korean men but I just wanted to visit the beautiful place of Seoul and experience their cold weather. I wanted to behold their beautiful flowers during spring or fall. Or touch the snow myself. I bit it's so cold.
Build my dream house
Aside from the house that I wanted to build for my parents I wanted to build our own dream house with my partner. One that we can call our own. It's not necessary elegant though just simply yet modern design. Just small area for the receiving and dining and two rooms. Master's room and children's room. Two comfort rooms, one in master's bedroom and one as common. A terrace with a swing for our sweet night talks after tucking in the kids. An oven in the kitchen because I love to cook. And a small vegetable garden outside.
Of course with these dreams comes also plans of settling downπ. So, I wouldn't live in this dream house alone right?
Closing thought
This bucket list was written long ago in my journal, hidden and unchecked. Its not that I don't want to but it's because they're not realized yet. I don't visit my journal this past few years because I don't want to see the unrealized plans. I am afraid I couldn't specially this time around of pandemic. So I just keep it there.
But today I remember them and reminded myself to not stop dreaming and hoping for those plans to be realized. It maybe not within the time frame I made as long as it will become true. With this bucket list I am reminded to stand still, be firm and continue with my journey. To not lose hope because God is with me.
That's all for today thank you for reading.
By the way I wanted to tag my friend @jc.articles to do write about your bucket list if you wanted to. Looking forward to it. π₯°

My apologies with my customize logo here π π . I really wanted to make mine so I customize in messenger only. Bare with it for now friends.π
We all want different things as our bucket lists and it would be a huge success when we work to make it happen. We should never give up on all of our goals because someday we would achieve them. Only if we don't stop halfway. Best of luck friend.
