More than half the year had already passed. We are on the last non-ber month. And times likes this just makes the hair at the back of my neck tingle. The wet and cold weather also makes me giddy of holidays to come. When one thinks of holidays, one cannot help but plan of vacations and recreational activities.
I am a firm believer to the cliché better late than never, so I decided to make a list of the things/places I still want to do/go before the year ends.
Here it is:
1. Learn Archery. I'm never a sporty person, jogging is my sport, seriously. But there's something old-world and regal in archery that fascinates me. Just discovered a place where I can learn and I'm targeting August for this one.
2. Visit a Museum. I'm thinking Ayala or Mind Museum, or maybe both for September, and Bencab Museum when I go to Baguio on December. I still remember the first time I went to National Museum and accidentally knocked my head in the glass encasement of Rizal's diary. My two classmates laughed loudly, thanks to them :))
3. Have a massage and buffet at Sonya's Garden. I am itching to try traveling alone and I think this spa haven in Alfonso, Cavite is perfect for me. Looking at their website of healthy greens somehow also translates to self-discovery for me. I am preparing to do this on my birthday, a gift to self.
4. Attend a music festival/concert. It's been a while since I last attended a concert. I think that was in 2005 when Pinoy Rock once again reigned. Music scene has changed and I'm ready and willing to dive on what it offers today.
5. Road trip to Subic. Every family has that summer destination. Mine is always south: Batangas, Cavite or Tagaytay and never looked back. But 17 years ago, one summer day we went to Subic and frolic in the near-white sand and big waves. A stop-over to Duty Free and sightseeing in the bus while eating hotdog guaranteed a less-noisy metropolitan life. Today, Subic offers more new things mixed with old charm of the beach. I am excited!
To make this list more realistic for me, I'm gonna stop adding items. Hopefully I get to fulfill all that is in this list and write about the experience also.
They say every new experiences we have contributes to our character. Who knows what kind of person I will become after these undertakings :)
