Bucket List
So ever since I was younger, I’ve had this crazy long list of things I’ve wanted to do before I die—some wild, some chill, pero lahat super meaningful sa’kin. I wrote most of this back in 2013 (ang tagal na noh?!) and it’s been such a ride ticking off dreams one by one.
From learning yoga and surfing in the Philippines, to backpacking around South America, and even seeing snow for the first time (hello, Iraq winter!), this list is all about living life to the fullest—kahit minsan wala sa plan, go lang!
If you’re looking for inspo or you just wanna chismis what’s on my “before I die” checklist, scroll through and maybe you’ll end up making your own list too. 😄 Life’s too short not to dream big, diba?
