Things I'm Loving Now

In line with today's celebration of Valentine's day and the growing advocates of #100HappyDays, here's a list of things that I'm loving right now because they are making me really happy. :)

1. Wattpad App - It's a free app where people can post stories of different genres. To me, it's an easy access entertainment without the internet and the stories are actually really nice. Check out: Enjoying the Chase which is now an official book sold in Amazon, The Bachelor and Late Summer Rain.

2. Defying Gravity - Last Sunday, I was fortunate to see Wicked at CCP with my boyfriend and his family. I've never heard any song from that Broadway Musical but after that, I had a last song syndrome non stop! Well, until now I'm belting (if not screeching) the lyrics of this amazing piece and imagining I was Elphaba, the wicked witch.

3. Frozen - Ok, late bloomer here. I just watched this two weeks ago with my cousins and the same thing as what happened from Wicked, I also have an LSS of Let It Go and Do You Wanna Build A Snowman. Aside from its lovely music, the story of this Disney Princess started to sound and look like a cliche, but it wasn't. Women empowerment is evident, if I may say.

4. Google Banner - which looks like Giggle right now. :p

These are just simple things but we all know that these small things can actually make a difference once in a while. Happy Valentine's and Happy Single Awareness Day to everyone. :) 

The picture below could actually pass up as number 5 in the list <3

Lifetime Bucket List

Not labeling this one as 2013 because it's already the middle of the year and I don't think my time and resources can permit myself to be able to do these things in six months. I wish.

The sudden urge to create this one was because of my planner, my June El Nido trip that I wasn't able to go to and the fact that I can do anything I want right now except go to work and earn my monthly salary. I know some of you guys would probably want to be in my place right now (aka bum) but trust me, you don't. I suggest to take a long vacation instead. Turn that one week to one month or even two. That way, when you get back, your back up will surely do what you handed over. This is the tip that I got from a colleague who likes taking long vacation breaks as opposed to week long ones.

So going back to my bucket list, here they are (Updated: May 4, 2014):

1. Travel alone to anywhere!
2. Go para-sailing.
3. Create DIY gifts. - DONE! HA! 12/20/2013
4. Learn to play the ukulele.
5. Drive southbound or northbound, just let me experience the express way please.
6. Bake a cake.
7. Volunteer for a good cause. - Did repacking for Yolanda victims at the CFC FFL Headquarters 11/15/2013
8. Join a crafters community workshop hosted by Hey Kessy. - 10/05/2013 Done! :)
9. Try aerial silk or antigravity yoga.
10. Take a language class - 9/26/2013 Basic Chinese class done! Got the cert of completion last Sept. 7, 2013 
11. Watch the sun rise - NOT an early riser.
12. Be a groupie and take a picture with a celebrity in a public place.
13. Watch the hot air balloon festival.
14. Watch a movie alone.
15. Tour Japan on a bicycle.
16. Celebrate my birthday with a costume party.
17. Horse back riding - my elementary experience doesn't count since I don't remember much of it.
18. Try ice skating - without breaking my neck.
19. Get a new phone. - Thank you Codebridge for the raffle prize. I now have a Sony Xperia L :p 12/19/2013
20. Mentor someone at work - hopefully work comes soon. - 9/26/2013 Old colleague of mine contacted to consult :)

Right now that's it! I might do a special link for this so I can update it when I add something new and when I cross out some stuff.

So what about your bucket list?
