8 Things I Want To Do Before I Die:
1. Be the best mom to Rara
2. Build a bohemian-inspired or mexican-inspired house, in Batangas perhaps (why in Batangas?, well that's another story)... a "hideaway place" . I've been collecting home design articles and magazines, and I have visualized already the "look" that I wanted for my dream house. At first I cannot categorize if it is modern asian or something, but when a mexican-inspired house was featured in a lifestyle TV, I said to myself that that is the house that I'm dreaming about...vivid, warm colors...beautiful and comfortable, with some imperfections in its structure done on purpose. I want a house where you can loosen up and not worry about touching a furniture or breaking stuff or something.

I hope she won't have the same "dyahe" feeling that I had during my teen years, every time my ma plays my song/voice recording of a cheesy Tagalog Imelda Papin-type of songs that I used to sing when I was a little girl (sobrang nahihiya ako kapag pinapatugtog yong cassette tape (sooo 80's)... yay!. FYI (I hate this confession haha) I was trained to sing (by a professional) and was actually joining amateur singing contests when I was a kid. Then as I grew older, umandar na yong hiya, so I decided to sing just within the confines of my room (or the bathroom...nice acoustic 'though).

10 Wishes for now
1. A new white loafers (to replace the Bally pair I had for more than a year...not necessarily same brand but with promise of the same good comfort. I really, really love comfortable shoes especially since I'm a brisk walker (especially sa malls, haha). I'm even using a Nike yoga shoes on ordinary days now kasi comfortable sya, di nga lang pede mabasa. Luckily, I get to keep my shoes for the longest time (di ako nasisiraan ng shoes) because I buy those with good quality even pricey ones.
2. Enjoy videoke with someone who's "kapal muks" din and must be willing too sing for hours with me. Preferably a guy, and I hope he can do more than the usual "Bakit Ngayon Ka lang" duet piece (ah pede paki practice na yong song na "The Closer I Get To You" haha)
3. A nice conversation with a nice person (read: loquacious, kwela, madaming chismaks haha). Someone who can talk about anything under the sun. Someone who is constantly talking and jumps between being funny to serious in a snap....nothing is off-topic or forbidden to talk about. I want to enjoy something like that. Preferably with someone I knew but haven't done it with in a long time (hmmm...parang si ano yon ah)
4. A surprise phone call from someone who simply want to get in touch
5. A trip to Sagada
6. Availability of (even) vendo machines serving tea with milk
7. Lots of cute Gingersnaps dresses for Rara
8. Unimaginable discipline to go with my grave attempt to get back to a leaner and healthier me
9. A new skill to learn (I'm serious to learn photography)
10. Handwritten letter or greeting card from someone (meron pa ba nun ngayon? anyway, wish list naman to eh, so I am simply thinking out loud, giving up the belief that I cannot have it, and I'm sure these will be granted.
