bucket list.

If you have watched the movie entitled The Bucket List, which featured Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson as dying cancer patients, you might have the idea of what a bucket list is. But for those that did not have the chance to watch that epic movie, a bucket list is a list of things you want to do or need to do before you hit the bucket (grave). 

Before last year ended, I made a bucket list for 2012. The difference is that I should finish everything within the year and not before I meet God. I listed 20 things and posted them in Facebook so that I could be reminded. link here. :)

For the readers, here is the list: 

1. Graduate
2. Read More
3. Pay My Respects
4. Visit the Island White Pink Sand
5. Serenade Someone
6. Battle Rap
7. Find a Job
8. Trek a Mountain
9. Hold Hands While Walking
10. Save Twenty Percent
11. Walk in the Rain
12. Cook Better
13. Learn to Swim
14. Stop Time
15. Blog Again
16. Write Again
17. Find a Sunflower Field
18. Survive the First Year as a Law Student
19. Go Fishing
20. You know na. :) 

As you could notice, numbers 1, 14 and 15 have been striked out. This signifies that I have already done things.

Number 15. Blog Again

Well, this blog is my revival blog. I have blogged when I was still in high school but without the needed drive. Now that I have a little luxury of time, friends that blog and some kind of inspiration, that gap of the "needed drive" have been filled in. Now, I try my best to blog as regularly as possible.

Number 14. Stop Time
Stopping time. Not literally. The last two weeks of my stay in college was dreadful. Our final project, the feasibility study, was denied by our department head. We had to do on-the-spot revisions and impromptu overnights just to satisfy our teacher. We stopped time. How? We were able to balance everything. We were able to concentrate ourselves to doing the paper. I know its weird logic to associate the simple task of balancing stuff with stopping time but then it is the closest thing to stopping time.

Oh this is our business proposal for the study: 


And this is me hugging the lady who gave us the dreadful last two weeks:


Number 1. Graduate




March 24. The day wherein we received a roll of white bond paper tied with a blue ribbon. The day wherein we, Ateneans, listened to a La Sallian giving a speech on being a good citizen. The day wherein black robes surrounded the campus. The day wherein we nearly cried because of Ralph Chua's Valedictory address. The day wherein we end our lives as college students. We have graduated that day. No awards for me, but then, I am a graduate. So the hell with those awards?

Oh here are some shots. (I did not take these pictures, they came from various sources.)





oh yeahz. :)
