Bucket list - 6+1 with pulutan

There are times that you try hard not to think of the inevitable, but as soon as they come closer and closer, you can't help but dread the day it's about to come. Just like having your first menses, or report card day, or giving birth. Funny how you are given an ample amount of time to prep yourself for what is about to happen and yet, the anxiety is enough to make you reach for a brown paper bag and hyperventilate (I am overreacting about the first two incidents, but the childbirth thing is THAT scary).

Lately, no... make that years already... we've been exposed to the countless evidence that the end of the world is near. Add to that having a husband who thinks teasing you about it is a nice hobby. The earthquakes,  countless wars, other disasters, Justin Beiber, Rebecca Black, and other "signs" are now contributing to my sleepless nights, err, days (as I work at nights), and have made me reflect on whether or not I am good enough to be saved from the end of the world. I will save you from the agony of judging myself before I get judged (as my own belief on the concept of religion is something I will consider sacred and not to blabber about... will keep you guessing :P), but right now, what I would like to ponder on what would be the things I have yet to do before that time comes- if it ever comes.

• go to Europe - at least experience La Joie de Vivre. Eat some authentic Italian Spaghetti that you have to pay Euros for while gurgling on rotten and aged grapes.
• See Skye graduate - nuff said. Every momma's dream.
• build our own castle - it is just about to become a reality, but I want to explore and enjoy every nook and cranny of it. I have yet to see my hubby's design for his most important client - me!
• go skydiving (optional)
• write a book
• finish my Master's degree
• honeymoon part 3 in Nepal
• sponsor another child's education
• lose 15 lbs
• record songs with my talented hubby
• see an authentic tribal wedding
• learn how to belly dance (this is actually not for me. It is for my hubby's delight - to see me in those harem pants while gyrating to Shakira's songs. Goes hand in hand with losing the 15 lbs, but I digress)
• cruise the Caribbean seas
• see the Northern Lights
• meet Sarah McLachlan/Regina Spektor
• buy my hubby a Hummer
• see my son get married
• let my hair grow up to my butt
• give my hubby the bestest gift in the world - a baby 
• to die beside my loved ones

 Some of these might be a long shot, but who knows? I still have a lot of these on my mind, and I am seriously contemplating on resigning from work just so I could at least start on that book.  Don't get me wrong... I am seriously contented and I do am happy with the way life is going now for me though. Still, when the thoughts get too scary, it helps that you look forward to the things that will make you say you have enjoyed life to its fullest.
