31. Try to live in a another country

- Experiencing the same things every single day is such a bland life. The life of excitement almost always consists of experiencing new things. There is a feeling of thrill in living somewhere far away is it not? Ah! The mysteries of new culture, new food, new weather and a new way of life...let the adventure begin

32. Experience war at first hand

- It may seem such a stupid and suicidal thing to do but in truth, I think it’s not all what it seems. “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” The phenomenon of war has been downgraded to a mere quarrel of idiocy because of its ubiquitous appearances in the news because we fail to see the true nature of its intensity. War is not only a battle of strength but a battle of faith; there is a valor in what they fight for. By ONLY being part of the battle, can one can truly understand its ferocious yet heart-warming reality.

33. Become a lawyer

- My professor once told me that the Philippines possess one of the largest number of laws ever made. Did that make our justice system any better than the rest of the world’s? Even then, just because we have that many laws don’t make us any more lawful. Being one of the most corrupt nations in the globe, quantity is not our problem but implementation. Hopefully by becoming a lawyer, I can contribute to making this small country a better place to live in.

34. Learning to sculpt

- For a very long time, I’ve always been curious of sculptures. I often admired these works of art due to their mass and design. The idea of making a perfect design while chiseling through rough stone gives me Goosebumps. Why do they take the effort to build these seemingly intimidating things? I may find out when I experience becoming one.

  2. Oh, Gracie commented again! :) Hehe. I've lived in the United Kingdom - the feeling is great. Of course, there's that occasional pang of homesickness; but carpe diem. Live the moment.
