...let this be my not long hidden bucket list!

Make a list. This statement popped into my head while lying on my bed one cold November night. I got a pen and paper and tried to list down things that I want to have, places I like to visit and and adventures that I want to try.

A girl can still wish even at 24. So right now, here's what's inside my bucket list. 



1. The places I wanted to visit ever since I was a little girl.

DISNEYLAND. My obsession with this place started during my elementary days when I was first introduced to several Disney movies like Cinderella and Snow White. I never thought that this place really exists not until I read from an article on a magazine which features the history of the theme park. Right at that very moment I started to dream of visiting the place not long enough. But when I learned that it was located on the other side of the planet, my hopes crushed into bits. Since I was just a kid and I have no money of my own, obviously I can't afford to get myself a visit. But I never stop dreaming. I told myself that whatever it takes, I'll be there soon! I still continue to dream that someday I'll get a chance to walk through it's streets, enjoy the rides, and experience the magic that only Disneyland can offer - the experience of being a kid once more in the happiest place on earth! 



PARIS. The Eiffel Tower is the main reason why I wanted to visit. I just want to experienced the joy of seeing it glows under a starry night. I heard from some people that when it lights you just can't look away because of how amusing and beautiful it is. Plus, European tour rocks!



SOUTH KOREA. Specifically Seoul. I am addicted to some of Korean movies and Korean teleserye. I had to shed a lot of tears just watching it's simple yet heartwarming movies about love and life. If given a chance, I'll visit the place during those moments where cherry blossoms are in abundance. It's so relaxing and so girly seeing those pink flowers bloom at their finest.



VATICAN. I will feel really complete if be given a chance to step on the grounds of our Pope's official residence. I remember during my high school days when Pope John Paul II was still alive, I have always been telling my friends that there are two places that I am dreaming of visiting and Vatican was one of it. I just really wanted to see the Pope in person. I have this thought that if I see the Pope, i'll be the luckiest and blessed person in the whole wide world. 



2. The things that I wanted the most.

HOUSE. I've always dream of building my own house someday. Simple and beautiful where my family and I could spend time together. A house out of my hardwork and love for my parents. A place where we are safe and we can call home.



DSLR. I like to take pictures during out of town trip with me friends and family. I just like the idea of capturing every shared moments together. Cause sometimes by just a mere captured moment in a picture, a whole story can be told. 



APPLE LAPTOP. I am not really a gadget person but I always had a thing with laptops with a fruit as it's logo. I am amazed of how brilliant it's inventors are. Some people say, it makes life easier. That adds to my curiosity and makes me more eager to have it to be able to experience how amazing it is. How iWish I'll have it soon! 



3. Adventures that could blow my mind away.

ROLLER COASTER RIDE. To feel the rush of emotions brought by a roller coaster ride is such a liberating experience for me. I like to challenge myself on how strong and tough I am during those moments when you feel that you are about to fall on the ground. And for once to scream our heart out and enjoy the fun and crazy ride just like life.



UP UP AWAY IN A HOT AIR BALLOON. I like the idea of being on top of the world overseeing God's creation and realizing how blessed and lucky we are to be chosen to live in a wonderful world. 




It will took a lot of hard work, a long patience and continued believing that someday I get to have and do these listed things. With God's grace and guidance, I know I'll be able to accomplish all of it, just be positive on all times and you will be surprised.

Right now, I'll just put this list back inside my bucket and just hide it for a little while. But not for a little while for I know and I believe, not long enough the list will be: 

picked on, crossed out, and done with pride and joy.
