i have so many things to blog about lately but just don't find the time in between production issues, aka work, to do it. that's how toxic my work is and i'm beginning to hate it. the toxicity and not the work itself, mind you. eh bakit ko naman kamumuhian ang trabaho ko eh this is where i get almost 90% of my income (10% pa lang ang raket) kaya kaakibat ng pagdada-dakdak ko at reklamo is to make sure gihapon no production issue is at pending status at the end of the day. period. reklamo comes after. or saka na lang pag 90% na yung raket ko :D.
i don't know what's with year two thousand and six that it brought a lot of cravings within me to try and do more things that are new to my adventure-laden system. coupled with going to places i haven't been to in the past. i'm not speaking about Paris, New York, L.A., the great Europe, mental institutions or even the solitary-confines-after-an-emotional-breakdown places. on one occasion or another i've been to those places, some of which i have enjoyed my stay, especially the latter ones haha ;). these are what i'm talking about:
to do:
1. karting - this is rather easy since i live near The Fort
2. surfing - not the net. yep, on the beach! i don't know i just had the sudden urge of riding a surf board and
3. bungee jumping off Macau tower - this is rather expensive. imagine one jump off the tower's 233m aboveground outer rim costs $868 (plus photo and DVD of "your jump"). but this is one hell of a test of your adrenaline rush :). saka na toh pag mayaman na ko..
4. sky diving - this is cheaper from what i've heard. siguro mga ten thousand pesos lang. saka na rin pag mayaman na ko..
5. blog more often - i think this is doable this time. or is it?
6. photography - i bought my first DSLR already, had been practicing whenever i find time, contemplating on whether i have enough money to buy a wide-angle lens. so this should rather appear in my has-been-partially-done list. but seriously i'd like to be a professional photographer.
7. diving - oh i love to see the underworld! sunod na lang pag dato na ko..
8. go to the gym - heheh this has been in my list every year but the excitement fades too soon. this year. this year :). i'm a surfer wannabe so my body should compensate my sport haha feeling!
9. sleeping - this is mainly the reason why item# 8 is always nullified hahaha ;p. i don't know if i'm sick pero this past couple of months there had been numerous times i woke up only to find plenty of laway drooling from my mouth hehe. do you really think i should see a doctor?
10. swimming - either on the pool or on the beach basta i wanna be a very good swimmer. it's never too late.
11. swim some more
12. badminton - for a change, i wanna learn how to play this sport. i'm one of those who critique this sport before because i felt this is very queened, but hey, most of the ladies flock into a badminton court rather than a basketball court. if there are, they're probably the amazonas of our time hehe just kidding ;p. peace y'all. i think it's high time to be matching up with the ladies ;p.
13. reaching the Everest summit - yes people! after Romy "Garduch" Garduce, there is "Temyong" hehe. too ambitious?! who knows..
14. manalo sa lotto - is this being planned or what? i guess this is more of a stroke of luck.
15. magpatayo ng bahay - pag dato na ko.
16. meet up with Iya Villania and Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu - haaayyyyy
17. vacation in the U.S. - mainly because i miss my family. hoping to be there again this year.
to go:
1. Batanes - tops my destinations list for 2007. i heard from others that there is only a 3-month (or is it 4-month) window time within a year for people to visit this haven on the north coast of Luzon. therefore this trip needs to be solidly planned. alam niyo bang nagtatabi na ko ng five hundred pesos kada sweldo for my budget? come February next year pwede na! just do the math. sometimes at the onset, you only need excitement and the rest will follow :).
2. Malapascua Island, Cebu - as of this writing, it has already been 21+ years since i last stepped on the island of Cebu. but come July 1st that record will be history. i have, along with some friendly friends, already bought a plane ticket to Cebu for a 5-day vacation. what a better way to gratify my becoming-a-beach-person persona than to visit this islet in the north coast of Cebu. according to a website "...it has a blindingly white bounty beach. time stands still as soon as you step into this 'Pacific Island Dream'...." enough. i just hope it really lives up to my expectations.
3. Bohol - Chocolate hills, Loboc river, Panglao island, other beaches, tarsiers. just some of the things worth looking forward to in this island. hopefully it can be squeezed into our July itinerary.
4. Siquijor - a friend suggested this infamous island has white sand beaches that will shove Boracay into the bottom of the world-class list of beaches in the PI. mala-pulburon na buhangin.
5. Camiguin - i'd love to see this island as well. a work colleague has their house situated in the island so i should be persuading her right now to schedule a trip there.
6. Siargao island - their is an affinity between surfers and this tear-drop shaped island in northeast Mindanao, which hosts one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and home of wave surfing. that includes a surfer-wannabe like me. pag marunong na ko sigurado puntahan ko toh..
7. Amanpulo - am i dreaming or what? hoy gising! naglalaway ka na naman!
8. Palawan - kahit saan doon. Coron, Dos Palmas, Crocodile farm. basta hindilang ako maki-kidnap ng Abu Sayaf.
some of these i may see happen this year. some maybe in due time. some may continue to be in this list. and for some, budget is what stands between the eager me and it being achieved. but heck, libreng mangarap hoy! let's see what happens. excited na 'ko!!
see i told you i don't have the extra time to blog. now i'm sleepy..
