Last year, we were asked by our household head to write down things that we want to accomplish for this year, be it long or short term. I think I wasn’t serious on those things that I wrote and those weren’t attainable yet as of the time being. So this year, I came up with ten (10) items on my bucket list that I’ll surely do religiously.
1. Learn a sport. * I’m not the sporty type ever since that’s why my body (stamina, endurance and physical strength) isn’t strong. So for this year, I’ll do my VERY best to learn a sport even if i’d be injured, at least i tried to learn a sport and overcome my fear of physical pain.*
2. Learn at least one (1) foreign language. *I’ve been itching to study mandarin,spanish and french since high school. Maybe, now that I will have a year before entering Law School, I’d be studying those languages.*
3. Learn a musical instrument. *I want to learn how to play the piano and guitar. Practice takes time but I think, I would manage to learn at least one of those instruments before the year ends again.*
4. Learn at least one (1) cooking recipe. *I don’t love cooking but I can cook at least the basic. I want to learn how to cook and probably, love it soon.*
5. Finish a good book within a month. *I so, so, so, love reading and it pains me now that I haven’t really finished any book this year. I would, religiously, buy and read and FINISH a good book every month. I’ll use my spare time to read it. There are things in life that you’d still learn by reading the book.*
6. Learn something for YCOM (or whatever my service will be). *I’ve been dying to learn ADOBE PREMIERE and AFTER EFFECTS but I can’t seem to get it on my own so I’ve asked help from Kuya Lucky and He said yes.. The only problem now is finding time to learn it. I would definitely find some time to study it for the love of God and my service. I would also study about lights and photography.*
7. Save 1000 on my allowance every month. *I noticed I’ve been spending much on food and other stuff last year so this year I would spend wisely and invest on more important things other than food and nonsense things, anyway, i would be on a strict diet this year, so less spending on food and more to saving.
8. Do a 365-day journal/diary/record of daily and special events of my life. *I want to take note of the best things that happen to me everyday and see God’s message for me. I still prefer to write it down on fresh paper so I could treasure it even technology isn’t available on places I would go.*
9. Finish a book in the BIBLE every month. *I realized that I have been neglecting the BIBLE. I wasn’t reading it for many months now. Before, I thought that I wasn’t reading it because I don’t have a personal BIBLE. But now that i have one, I’ve been neglecting it. This year, I would surely, definitely and religiously read it. I’ve been wanting to meet my Christ and by reading the scripture, surely I would see things that I thought I have known for a long time about him.*
10. lose one (1) kg. every month, 1 kg for this year. *This time I will be serious on losing some weight. I noticed that I’ve been gradually losing body coordination and have been easily inflicted by sickness because of my weight and weakness. I decided to be a vegetarian this year and only fish meat is allowed to be considered the source of protein. I seriously would like to lose weight before graduation comes so I would look good on whatever I’ll wear.*
*I would also do some fasting alongside my bucket list..:)
This things would be a torture to me at times because this is going against what I have been doing for the past year, but doing this would also be a lot of help for me and for the people around me also. I pray to the Lord that I’d be able to do this and never break any of it until the next year comes.
