Things I Wanna Do

There are lots of things I wanna do, and I am hopeful that I am able to do it in the next months and years.
Inspired by the book "Eat Pray Love", I told myself that I will be enrolling in the so much delayed Spanish class I wanted to take since back in my College years. (Way overdue right?). I do not know what I will do with it but heck, why do I need to think what I will do with it, It'll come handy someday.
I want to live alone, like my own, place, my own rules, my own choice of visitors. (For readers from another culture, in the Philippines it is not unusual that a mid twenty woman is still living in their parent's house, before they were only allowed to leave their parent's house when they have their own family already, or once she get married). So I thought of saving for this sanctuary I am longing to have.
I want to eat in a fancy restaurant, like authentic stakes or food on the menu you can't even pronounce and just point the picture to the attendant taking your order.
I want to go to Venice and ride the Gondola, and will not care if I'm going to ride it alone (that not very romantic, is it?).
I want to write my own book.
I want to design my own bookshelves and place my books I proudly have read (and displayed).
I want to do all crazy stuffs and just stopped thinking of what other people will say.

I want to do all these, not in a hurry though, I want to take my time and enjoy my life, and tell my experiences, retold stories I've heard and bring smile to people while sipping my favorite wine.

The Reading Challenge

At the start of the year there were two reading challenges I committed myself to The Goodreads Reading Challenge where you will decide how many books you can read for the year. The other one I got from my cousin but upon searching in Google it's a Popsugar Reading Challenge.  I must have underestimated my annual calendar because I challenged my self to red 50 books in Goodreads. I thought "50 books? Oh that's nothing, I have all the time in the world." And guess what? It's mid of November and here's my reading challenge. Apparently I didn't plan on being too busy during mid year but I'm not complaining I just didn't expect it to be like that. Still, I'm happy to I have read 25 books so far. And these are mostly YA books. What's with YA anyway? Am I old to be reading it? But that's another blog entry I suppose. I am happy to discover new authors that I will sure follow (Sarah Haas, Cassandra Rose Clarke) and the likes. With these 2...

Holy Bummin' Week

While others are out of town relaxing in a rest house somewhere, or swimming mostly in the south, I spent my holy week mostly at work and home alone in our house. My Mom went to Bicol and spent the Holy Week there while also preparing for the 80th Birthday of my Lola on June. From Monday to Thursday here was my schedule, water the plants before I even put my bag down, feed the cat, mop the floor, wash the dishes, play with my 9 months old niece and go to sleep until 8pm. At 8pm, prepare my baon for work, browse net and check facebook, then take a bath and go to work and same thing again the next day,pretty boring huh? but Friday to Sunday was different. I avail of our VTO (Volountary Timed Out) well the whole Friday I slept like I will not sleep again, play LAN games in the computer until 4am and I was too lazy to prepare something for breakfast because by this time I was really hungry since i slept the whole day, so what else should I do but dial the ever reliable Dial 8-MCDO. ...

He Can't face the Music

An English phrase was born through a Chinese story, you might be wondering how is that? So the story goes… Once there was an Emperor who loves music, he so loved it he organized a Royal Orchestra. The flutist of the Royal orchestra doesn’t really know how to play the flute, he just blows the instrument but no music was coming out of the flute, but he the benefits for being in the Royal orchestra, lodging, first class treatment and food fit for a King. One Day the King asked each musician to play for him, the Flutist said he was sick at the night of the performance, so the King send his Royal Physician to check the flutist, and the Physician reported that the Flutist was not sick. When the King ordered for the Flutist to be captured, the Physician told the Royal Guards… "The Impostor Can’t Face The Music" I chose to write about this because even the story is old, it is still applicable in the modern world. There are impostors, pretenders whatever we call them, but when confron...
