back in 2004, i came up with my things-i-want-to-do-before-i-die list.. in the present times, they call it bucket list.. as of today, i have already crossed out 187 of which from my 236 listings.. i was reviewing my list last week and i felt that i won,'t have a long life-time to finish all of them and make the list in full circle.. (well, again, life can be too short for people who have HUGEdreams)... so i thought of coming up with my short-term list for now (well, at least for the next quarter of the year).. if things go well, i can always add up something in the list..

so here goes.. my special-edition-bucketlist ng MYAngligaw..

watch the CHRIStiu play.. done that actually.. but sad thing is his team lost on both games that i watched.. guess i am not a lucky charm after all huh.. nonetheless, i was able to watch a FIBA game and that's more than enough for me now.. (one down..)

azkals game.. i was never a fan of football.. even if i have friends who play the game, i never really liked it.. the idea of the game tires me.. they are like dogs running everywhere.. ohh well, not until i watched the azkals game on tv... watching it gave me a different kind of thrill.. and i started to appreciate the players and how it is played.. i won't watch it live just because of the younghusbands (like tomorrow, they are just the bonus packages), i will watch because they will be playing with the PILIPINAS flag.. and so for that matter, it will be an honor to watch them live..

finish a half marathon (21k).. i am not a good runner.. in fact, the past weeks run haven't improved my endurance level.. i guess my heart isn't cooperating 100% anymore.. still in the same context, i am determined to finish a half marathon by the 3rd quarter of the year.. it will be a gift to run with my running buddies and see people i love waiting at the finish line.. i am determined to finish it, and i hope to see you there..

go home and see everyone and give them a hug.. i know i miss everyone back home.. and i know too well that i want to give them a hug too.. i just really hope it's everyone, i don't want to leave home with missing pages again.. (i mean, at least for my last possible round, sana kumpleto na)..

swim the beaches of zambales.. as beaches served as constant witnesses to my love-turned-pale-tales, i would wish to see myself enjoying the morning and night air of the beach.. it would also be ideal for me to lay myself to rest on the sands, watch the sun say goodbye and have a smile at my zambales moon and its stars.. it would be perfect for a story ending..

prepare mango-float for people i love.. this just makes me happy every time i have the chance to do this.. it would bring me happy sighs, and happy sighs alone.. :)

run in roxas boulevard and toss a coin in  the fountain nearby.. seeing this place on tv for several times always made me feel like i will be in another universe.. this may be a common place for many, but to me it is a paradise.. the fountain (though not a wishing fountain) somehow sends me signs to try tossing a coin and whisper to it my heart's desires.. hopefully, before the coin reaches the bottom of the water, my wish be granted at normal na uli ang pintig na puso ko (death and dying then would be another story..)..

a day with the kids of cancer warriors.. like gasping for air, i wish that i can do more for you.. with high hopes, i fight with you.. hope as they say is the only thing that bind us to tomorrow.. 

i guess that would be all for now.. its a list of my super 8.. pretty short list but i still have my fingers crossed to have time work with me.. sana pagbigyan pa...

ikaw, para kanino ka bumabangon?
