The Bucket List

It started out when a friend watched the movie, 'The Bucket List'. The next day during class, we took out sheets of paper and made 'Bucket Lists' for ourselves. It started out with about 15 things to do and now I've got around 50 on my list, and I think I'd have checked off around 10.

A bucket list is basically a list of things you want to do before you die, i.e. before you kick the metaphorical bucket, and hence the name. It seemed like a pretty amazing idea, you know, keeping things simple(:P), setting your priorities straight, having the big picture in mind. To simply realize that all these little things we worry about everyday aren't really all that important. Like a friend once told me, 'Live each day like it is your last. One day, you're going to be right.'

Don't expect much, my bucket list isn't especially profound, except maybe one or two things like

13. Touch someone's life.

and even that is pilfered off the movie, I know.

Then there are the ones which on completion might give me a sense of satisfaction and maybe feel like I've improved myself somehow like

23. Write a food blog.

31. Learn to play the guitar.

33. Learn kickboxing/taekwondo.

42. Learn Hangul.

51. Own a pair of black, four inch high peep toe stilettos and wear them often.

48. Sing/dance in public.

21. Karaoke.

I'm not sure how number 51 fits but if I have to categorize, it belongs here.

I'm not particularly a shy person in a public setting. As in I can jump up on a stage and talk if the situation demands, but dancing(singing) isn't really my forte. Hence, to step out of my comfort zone, I have number 48(21).

Then I have the really random ones that I put on the list on an impulse and don't want to take off because they're things I did think up at one point. I have family and friends reading these posts so I'm not going to explicitly list them, maybe someday.

Okay, I'm bored. This post ends here.
