My Bucket List - Top Ten Things to do before I die..

And cuz I have constantly been reading about how we should live each as if it was the last... I shall start my bucket list.. and I shall cap it at the magical no. 10.. since.. well.. I can always add on to it...
  1. Write a TV Script for a Rom-Com... of course, I don't know how to, and I don't know in what language, I suspect both my first languages (chinese and english) would suck and the whole dialogue would be ridiculous.. but I am quite confident of my ability to come up with a storyline that would win hearts of young fan girls like me (if not awards :P)
  2. Fall in Love... while this is only item no. 2, I suspect that it is potentially the only one where I would not be able to achieve even if I set my mind to it. I believe in fate. :)
  3. Be very beautiful once... not those glamour shots kind ah.. but.. to have a fantasy like moment when I am not plagued with self imagined horrors and fears about my inadequacies, and just feel like the most beautiful person, perfect hair, makeup, dress, shoes, gait, weight, skin, everything ah! Where I am outstandingly different and obviously beautiful.. HAHAHAHAHHA... that one I also think cannot be achieved.. hahahaha.. cuz my skin is my skin lah.. it will always be scarred, at most, can reduce the blemishes.. maybe I should focus on more achievable stuff
  4. Ski and Skydive... I have even trekked in Nepal before.. so seriously, I need to check these two items off my list, preferably before I turn 35, when I may get too old to break my bones. This one, I think I will try to target to achieve in 2012.. Ohh.. just thinking of sky-diving gives me the jitters plus adrenaline rush at the same time... The Ski-ing just reminds me that I should increase the amount of stretching I do.. seems like doing splits is a side-effect if I can't control my skis...
  5. Develop a product/process/idea that will truly change people's lives for the better. E.g. the light bulb, penicilin, etc... another one that is not that attainable.. but if I sit down and think about it, maybe I will think of something... this one, is still achievable. Maybe not on the scale of the light bulb or of penicilin... but it's an idea/concept that will radically make life simpler..
  6. Watch a mega scale football match - I am deciding between a champions league match that liverpool is playing in (when they finally get back into Champions League, WHEN, not IF) or a World Cup final.. hmm... Hmmm... this takes some planning and a whole lot of money. But it can be done... :)
  7. Safari in Africa... to watch the animals.. this one I MUST DO before I kick the bucket.. my giraffes, and elephants and lions... and zebras... ooohhhh.... must must!

I shall add on as and when I think of things that I really want to do before I do.. :) Akan datang...

Darling, Falling in Love and being beautiful are the easiest to achieve! ^_^ To be able to fall in love you must certainly start with loving yourself, so that you discover all those wonderful things that are lovely about you. Notice that lovely do not mean "good or useful for others". It means all those things about you that make you happy. Like, how good your hair feels against your cheeks, or all the awesome mental stories you can come up with when you are alone and bored, how you keep an open mind about food... things like that. Do you know the show "Ten Things I Hate about Myself"? Well, do the opposite. Make a list of Ten Things you LOVE about yourself! Pick only the top ten!

As for being beautiful, nothing easier than that! Your body actually reflects how beautiful you consider yourself to be, so go from there. For starters, take a good look at yourself in a mirror. Abstract from the "flaws" and pay close attention to what elements you see that actually are beautiful. Nice eyes, great hair, curvy or slim body... I bet even your skin is pretty, only you are focused on the one thing that's unpretty. Let's say it has acne damage, ok, but maybe it's tight, not sagging like a dog's snout. Or maybe the complexion is actually pretty, or the scars are in such a position that actually accentuate your high cheekbones!

It's all a matter of perception, and I bet you can find the Goddess side in it. ^_^
