I think I shall take a temporary reading hiatus and write more, at least for the next few days. :) Although writing entries for me is a little tedious, cause i tend to have a very huge backlog of things to tell and thus, things to write, leaving me with mile-long entries. hmm... what's the word for that?? the one used by english teachers for really long essays? 0_o
Anyway, moving on... I decided to make lists! XD
LIST I: Things I wanna do if I were a Billionaire
1. learn how to spell it for one thing. Did I get it right? -__-
2. Finish college, go to a really good Ivy league, graduate and get a PhD for something.
~~Now that I have my PhD, I can now have fun! >:)~~
Cause this will give me enough license to do what I want, without being labeled crazy. I'll be the weird rich genius! Hehe... Besides, I can get away with not working and instead be able to pour my time into more interesting things, without people calling me incapable. XD
LIST II: Things I wanna do if I were an Eccentric Billionaire Genius
Hehe... fun. >:)
1. Donate to and revive the UP horse backriding place. As useless as Vigile insists that is.
2. Commision more National Artists to make stuff like those in the UP Church, to give the Philippines more things to show off, or at least take notice of.
3. Put up a foundation for Medical school scholarships. I dunno why I'm particularly in favor of med students though. Not Nursing though.
4. Put up an all-female instructed driving school. I noticed that most of the people enrolling in driving schools are female anyway. So why put up with those chauvinistic male driving instructors? (I actually had an instructor who had the audacity to mumble: "Kaya pla, babae ung driver eh..." to some car who tried to pass in front of the car I was learning to drive. Ahem... some male jeepney and taxi drivers are even more reckless, but the girl got the comment? Hmph!) Besides, I'm sure parents will be more comfortable with it. :)
5. Endeavor to put the Ocean Adventure place out of business. Cause I pity the whales. :(
6. Buy my own jetski and learn how to use it like a Pro. ;)
7. Drive around with a shiny white Pajero, the car I used to dream of having.
8. Preferably, I want my Pajero surrounded by an entourage of Black Pajeros, where my body guards can stay. XD
9. I'll visit the different parts of the Philippines. And then commission some beautiful calendar to be made by really good photographers. The WOW Philippines project's pictures aren't that nice, I think. ^^;
10. Help fund the BA English project (why not?)
11. Get myself a nice library
12. Help update some of the books of the UP Main Library, as is possible.
13. Visit my cousins abroad
14. Launch a cleaniliness campaign in Metro Manila, and fund it myself. Who knows where the money will end up if I hand it over to some politician.
15. Throw a annual contest that will allow one lucky and ingenius individual to start-up his/her own business, which I will share as a partner, until the time when I can be bought out by the original owner.
16. By the infamous F. hospital and remake it to be the best hospital in the Philippines, with both public and private wings. I'll be hiring the doctors of the scholarship fund earlier to work here at a reasonable rate, and maybe hire my friends to manage and administer the operations. :D *feeling XD*
17. buy back a certain place somewhere.
18. Buy pets! XD
19. Write a book. Heheh... XD
20. I wanna fund various projects to beautify the Philippines, so that the pretty pictures I'll be taking won't be just flat images of special parts of the Philippines, but a representative of how beautiful the rest of the country is.
And so many other things... who can list them down anyway? Billionaires can do pretty much anything, I suppose. 0_0 Except most likely, they won't have the time to do certain things, or will be too scared of dying or too closely watched to enjoy somethings, like maybe scuba diving. *shrug* And thus comes my third list:
LIST III: Things I Wanna Dare To Do
1. Of course, go scuba diving. My dad was into this before, he has the complete gear, even spear guns and underwater what not. But of course it's a little too dangerous for my parents to want us children to try it. In fact my dad stopped diving because one of his close friends died during a dive. Imagine. I once prodded him to tell me more about it, and then goes the story, ending with their having to go back and dive for his missing friend's scuba gear. Back and forth. It was traumatic.
2. Learn horse back riding. Now, my mom was into this, again with complete riding gear. She used to gallop full grown horses as young as 5 yrs of age. But again, it's a little too dangerous for us. -__- Gee... My parents get into really dangerous things. Unlike Vigile's parents, who passed on their tennis fondness to her. Plus, this hobby is a little expensive. u_u
3. Go rapelling and white water rafting and Bungee jumping!? Wah!
4. Of course, go travelling. ^_^ Walk part of the length of the Great Wall of China, go boating in Venice, etc.
But on the more realistic side of things...
LIST IV: Things I Wanna Learn and Hopefully Be Good At
1. Horse Back Riding. XD Can't help it.
2. Ice Skating ( iknow how, but I'm not good)
3. Archery! <3
4. Water Color Painting (pinagusupan namin ni Bong 'to! ^^)
5. Sketching!
6. Sports/Wall Climbing
7. Tennis (of course)
8. HTML and/or programming (vigile*pokepoke*bianca!)
9. foreign languages
10. DRIVING!! XD
LIST V: Things I Wanna Do Before I Die
1. Finish Lunar. X_x ~and the Phoenix Pendant (thank you vigile for the suggestion. XD)
2. Write a good story
3. learn those above. (kulit!) ^^
4. Own a pet dog and cat (like in Lirael, hehe...)
5. Read the books I have
6. Do something useful or helpful to the world. (As cliche as that sounds, it's a must!)
7. Hopefully graduate from undergrad Accounting in UP CBA. X_x --A lot of my batchmates were kicked out of the program already. T_T
8. Learn to cook! Yeah! Or bake!
9. Go to the Zoobic Safari. And then shut it down and make sure that they don't get any more tigers or animals from their rightful habitat. -_-
I have a lot more in mind... but that's it for now. ^_^ Entry writing is a little tiring. ^^
Btw... *Ahem ahem* Guys, if we push through with our Baguio plans, you know where I wanna go. Hehe... *cough*Wright park*cough*
