Thanks to Rosas’ entry last week I had an idea on what I am going to write for my next blog. Have you guys seen the movie “The Bucket List” by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson? If not yet, it’s a story about two terminally ill men who escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos (bucket list) before they die. The movie inspired me so much that I came up to make my own bucket list too. I want to do a lot of things before I die, so I listed them so that I won’t forget when I get old. Here are the top 5 on my list.
First, I want to try bungee jumping. I saw a lot of people doing it on TV and it looks cool! I’m not picky on where to jump as long as it is high. It can be on a bridge, a high crane or for starters a ramp. It seems really exciting and just the feeling of jumping downward then the elastic rope holding you will pull you upward; isn’t it fun? Do you guys know a place?
Second thing that I want to try is sky diving. Jumping off on a plane 3,000 to 13,000 feet above the ground is really scary but that makes it more exciting for me. I admit I’m scared doing it, knowing there can be some mishaps that might happen. But I’m up for the challenge. I really like the feeling of flying.
Third, I want to watch the sunrise on top of a mountain. I’ve seen some movies doing this kind of scene and it looks so beautiful. It’s really serene and breathtaking. Isn’t it cool to start your day with a beautiful view? I really want to see it; watch Mr. Sun conquer and lighten up the whole place. Peaceful and calming.
Fourth, I want to visit Ireland. It’s the 3rd largest island in Europe and the 12th in the whole world. I want to visit their tourist spots like the Bunratty Castle, Blarney Castle, Rock of Cashel and Holy Cross Abbey. Mainly, the reason I want to visit Ireland is because of Westlife but when I search things about the country I found out that they have a lot of historical castles. It’s really amazing how these castles are still standing and preserve as the country’s tourist spots.
Fifth, I want to tour Asia. Asia is a big continent and touring the whole continent is going to be pricey and expensive that’s why I only choose countries I can visit. I picked Japan, South Korea, China/Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. I’m really proud of my race that's why before I die, I want to explore these countries. Asian's in general have different kind of tradition; each country has their own unique culture. Like Japan, I want to eat the original makers of sushi, onigiri, sashimi, shabu-shabu and other food that already have their different kinds of version. Malaysia and Indonesia have a close culture to Philippines because the first descendants of the Filipinos were Malays and Indos. My curiosity level is high that I really wanted to visit this countries.
This are one of my goals and a challenge to myself if I can really all of this. But even if I can't accomplish what are listed on my bucket list in the future, at least some of them I have already tried.
Wow you are crasy!!! I am such a chicken at heghts so I think the bungee jumping and sky diving are crasy! lol MY cousin has gone sky diving wiht her husband, she thought it was a lot of fun but personally that is definitely not on my bucket list. I think we all have one maybe not writen out but I also have things or wishes I would like to do before i die. Good luck wiht your bucket list! =)
