My bucket list (2012-2018)

This list was written down first in 2012 in my diary. I’ve been changing and updating quite a lot cuz sometimes I wrote down the most ridiculous things I could ever imagine just because of my curiosity, then erased it 2 or 3 days later. I’m usually confused with curiosity and passion. That feeling was like “I’m not sure if I DESIRE to do it or it’s just something I wanted to do but it’s ok if I couldn’t try it out”. So even though there was a time when my to-do things piled up to 50, but then now, you’ll see.

Since I got into university, I’ve been experiencing… not much mostly because of my laziness, but generally, I think I was off to a good start. Now I’m living alone, have no job and can’t earn a living on my own yet. Nevertheless, I have my own space and time. Moreover, my parents cannot force me to do everything they want me to do, not anymore. I’ll have more chance to do things that I like, even if I just like it for only 1 day. So maybe it’s just my wacky thought, but why should I fucking care about such a cliche matter while my purpose is to experience as much as possible?!

/Update on Oct 25, 2018: So I’ve been working for 1 year and a half till now and have a bit of so-called savings. Working is tiring but well at least I can spend somewhat on my favorites now./

I’ll update my bucket list on my online blog once a month (Update on Oct 25, 2018: Bullshit, it’s likely that I would only update this list once a year lol) not just because I’m a “sống ảo” girl but I wanna get some kind of invisible power from my invisible friends online. So that I can keep on doing my things, live my life to the fullest!

(Update on Oct 25, 2018: To this point, I’ll just keep ranting on by myself.)

Wanna do everything that I want!

Wanna do everything that I want!

    • Hahaa I actually bought them gifts almost every month since I started working officially xD It feels great!

    • I visited Ly Son in Sept 2018 with one of my best childhood friends. The trip last 4 days 3 nights. I have never been in love with a beach like I do with the beaches there. It was just exquisite and extremely peaceful. I urge to come back there again! – Gonna make a short clip soon tho.

    • 2018-2019: I wish to visit South Korea to fulfill my fangirling life haha, and to Germany to visit my uncle and aunt. (Update on Oct 25, 2018: Change of plan tho. I visited the Philippines 3 times, Malaysia once, and now I’ve been staying in Singapore for a while now. Well, it seems like I wasn’t traveling that much in 2018.)
  9. Bake a cake by my own oven!
    • I baked banana cake and cupcake quite well now :D
  10. Speaking quite ok in a foreign language:

  21. Read at least one book per month, starting from March 2015 (the year of Monkey in lunar calendar) – I’ve been feeling so ashamed that my parents didn’t raise me up with the love for books and that I didn’t read books as much as I should’ve done. I’m too lazy but I’ll try my best to change it!I KEEP FAILING MYSELF… I read only 4 in the whole year and the current-reading list of mine now has 4 more wth…

Last update: Oct 25, 2018.

P/s: My writing English is extremely bad though, I guess because I get used to following the voice speaking in my head… Anyway, I don’t even know why I wrote this post in English :p
