What's on my bucket list
Most of us probably has a bucket list or the list of things that we want to do or achieve in this life. It can be similar to a goal too. As for me, I honestly haven't given it much thought nor have I written down the things that I really want to achieve. I am already 26 but I am still contemplating on what I really want to do in life. Oftentimes I want to settle to a permanent position in the public sector and be a teacher to inculcate change in the lives of the children and youth. I want to, because that is what is expected from me - by myself and by the people around me. But it is not really easy to do that. I feel like I already wasted two years of my precious life waiting... waiting for the right time to get what I want. But there are times that I wonder if that is what I really want to do in life. I love adventures and I want to explore which I can't do once I am confined in the four corners of the classroom. Thus, I sometimes think that maybe I am chasing not my dream, but the dream of people around me, the dream of my parents. Due to that, these past few days I've given it some thought. I tried to figure out what I really want and what I really want to do. So I came up with my own bucket list. These apparently just a few since I am still thinking about it more. Go on a trip alone. Usually, trips can be more fun if you are not alone. Being with close friends or with the family can make a trip more enjoyable and I think that way too. But since I am now used to being alone and I can literally live by myself, I want to experience the solemnity of travelling alone. And perhaps I could meet new people and make friends while travelling. Once the pandemic is over, maybe I could go to local travel destinations and do this. Travel to Korea or Japan. I am a fan of Korean dramas and anime so I really want to visit either of the two countries. I want to experience the snow and the cherry blossoms and go to Korean palace and wear the traditional Hanbok, meeting one of the *oppas* I watch on dramas will be awesome too! I know it's a wishful thinking, but we never know what life has stored for us. Or I can walk on the streets of Japan wearing a colorful Kimono and just thinking about it makes me excited already. Learn how to drive a motorcycle. Since high school, I've been pestering my dad and my male cousins to teach me how to drive a motorcycle. They know how clumsy I am so they keep declining my request. My dad even told me that once I learn how to drive, I'd probably end up either in the hospital or the morgue. I want to prove to them that they are wrong so I really want to learn. If my family can't teach me, I will go to a driving school and learn. I know I can't do it as soon as possible, but I will make sure that a couple of years from now, this is already checked from my bucket list. Master one foreign language and meet a person who speaks it. Those who have known me for quite some time probably knows that I am very interested in languages. Because of my addiction to K-drama, I tried to learn Korean and Hangul - the Korean's way of writing, I was able to memorize the characters in just a week of studying and I can also read and write it now. However, the lack of conversation with a native speaker made me forget what I learned. Currently, I am learning the *Spanish* language and I want use it to converse with a person who speaks it and when I say converse, it means personally talking and conversing to that person. I still have a long way to go, but I am crossing my fingers for this. What else? Hmmmm. I guess this is all for now, but maybe I could think more and add more to this list. Maybe I need to have a self check up and get to know about myself more to see what I really want and what I really want to do in life. `Thanks for reading! Lead images credits to itockphoto.com.`

Korea at japan dn madam dream ko 🥰sana2 in the future
My precious friend, how nice to read another publication of yours, which always impresses and captivates, without a doubt the goals, the objectives among other things, are part of our lives and we often love having that wish list and we even get frustrated if we don't we make it happen. However this is relative, it is not about achieving them all, but trying and enjoying it, it is worthless to achieve something if you do not learn from it or enjoy it. I love this mini-list you made because you reflect things you can achieve in the short and long term, with perseverance and dedication, Something tells me that you will visit those two countries, that you will delight in their culture and fall in love, Maybe that trip you make is to both nations by yourself, you will enjoy a lot. I find the idea that you want to ride a motorcycle curious, it's interesting, I hope you can do it, and impress all those who automatically said you couldn't, everything in this life can, even what looks impossible, I like that about the language, as I told you once, around here you have me available for when you want to practice Spanish, I am to order, you are a girl to admire, determined, safe, a great teacher, those children are lucky to have you, I know you will change many lives, don't focus on time, focus on how you feel like doing it, greetings
Haysss, parang ang hirap nong sayo kasi inaasahan na nilang magiging ganito ka or ganito. Like mo ang pag tuturo pero until when? For sure dadating ang time na mapapagod ka, magsasawa lalo na hindi mo naman ata ganon ka gusto yan? Like the others na kahit pagod, masaya pa rin kasi they enjoy what they're doing. How about you? I also have my bucket list sa kasulok sulokang bahagi ng aking isip. And I will do all that once magka kwarta na. Hahanap na nga lang ako ng juwang asul ang mata na mayaman para shortcut ahahaha. And halos lahat ng nasa bucket list mo kasama sa list ko. Liban sa Learning New language. Gusto ko din naman talaga matuto kahit Korean or Japanese nlang kaso mo nga diba, ang tamad tamad ko. Wala akong tyaga kasi pano ahahaha. Tapos uny sa pag drive ng motor naku. When kaya, when ko kaya magagawa, then travel alone. I also prefer that, parang feeling ko mas enjoyable. 🤩
Sa totoo lang, di ko rin kasi talaga alam kung ano yung gusto ko talagang gawin kaya go with the flow na lang ako. Basta ang alam ko, I like doing new things, I like exploring. Gusto kong matuto ng mga hindi ko pa alam gawin. Minsan nga parang gusto ko itry mag work abroad kaso hindi ko alam kung paano. hahahaha pag nagtagumpay kang makahanap ng jowa na may asul na mata inform mo na alang ako, baka sakaling asul na mata din ang para sa akin 😂
So habang nag iisip kapa ng answer go with the flow nalang muna. Ayos na din yan, why not try it? Sabihin mo kaya sa parents mo baka naman esupport ka din? Kaso gusto ata nila talaga is teacher ka ee 😅. Gusto ko din mag abroad baka dun ako makakuha ng asul na matang afam ahahaha. Kaso sa mahina angbloob na katulad ko? I dunno lang talaga haha
