The Bucket List movie that stars Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson is all about "Living your life" its about two guys who shared a room in the hospital, had 6 months to live --- one is rich and always get what he wants and the other is living a typical life. So before they reach their final destinations, they thought of listing things TO DO, with a kiss of death. Isnt that cool that you get to do it before you will be buried 6-feet under. I like the last wish of their bucket list, "to witness something majestic" and it turns out that the friendship they build together and the fact that their ashes are kept at the top of the mountain is a majesty on its own. So if I were to create a bucket list, here would be some entries I could think of.

- An evening date with a long lost highschool crush. (just a date and we'll take it from there :P)
- Watch concert in another country.
- Ironed out a troubled situation.
- Travel with someone special.
- Meet NBA players. (i cant imagine how tiny ill become when im with them waheheh)
- Get laid few weeks before my very last breath. (since i dont know my "death date" then ill keep on trying, hahah)
- Saying bitchy things to a stranger in his/her face. (picking a fight eh?)

I hope to remember these when i realize that my day is coming or maybe i cud start to accomplish this list as early as now :P

earlier is the 2nd Trend Blogcon and we have the presence of Abe Olandres, or mr. yugatech himself. he shared some points which i think would be essential in blogosphere world, how he started and how he become after picking the appropriate niche. he made also a good differentiation of blogging vs. journalism, and i realized how one has an advantage over the other. for bloggers or id rather call it free-spirited writers, the urge to right starts from within. we do not write because we are asked to, we write because we are passionate sharing the stuff that we know. im impressed when he said that "audience are after what you know and not what you think" because there is a minimal boundary between the two.

Last night I have eccentric this dream that we are chasing a mom who unfortunately is wala sa katinuan hostaging an entire bus, kasama ang kanyang 6 year old daughter. The excitement and tension is very realistic, kase tila ganun ang nangyayari sa mga actual hostage scenes. The mom is like 40 plus year of age is nagwawala saying na hinde makukuha sa kanya ang kanyang anak, happens to shoot a civilian...so thats why the police and I are chasing her. (alright im not a police, its my dream scene so anything is possible right? :P) so the mom is shooting at us until she run out of ammo (i dont even know how she gets a gun to begin with) she then get off the bus, run in a park full of trees. at kame? syempre huli sa eksena, dahil kasama ko ang mga police, heheh well i think that makes the scene more intesifying. so we were like hunting them sa lugar na maraming puno at damo. (what a combination)

sumuko rin finally ang nanay nung tumakbo ang anak nya papunta sa mga pulis. wala syang choice kundi lumabas dahil iniisip nyang sasaktan ang anak nya ng ibang tao. associating it in a real world, nakakaawa ung nanay dahil she is mentally incapacitated, she is not capable of taking care of her daughter, and maybe she knew it kaya takot syang wag ilayo ang anak nya sa kanya. but more than that, mas naawa ako sa anak na syang biktima sa eksenang un. sa mura nyang isipan hinde nya talaga alam kung anong nangyayari, and maybe ung act na paglapit nya sa pulis is parang pakikipaglaro lang without knowing whats gonna happen to her. in our society, sa ganung scenario, the custody of the child will be given to DWSD or any relatives na mag claim sa bata, and ung nanay naman is sa isang infirmary or mental institution.

there are a lot of factors why some people become disturbed mentally, ilan na rin ba sa pinas ang me gantong situation, marami rami na rin, dala ng matinding stress, problema sa pera at kakulangan ng supporta ng pamilya. at naniniwala rin ako na lahat ng bansa ay may gantong bahagi ng society, ang mga taong tinatawag nateng "baliw" or "sinto" or "siraulo".......siguro bawat isa saten nakakakita ng mga nomad or mga taong palakad lakad sa lansangan na wala rin sa kanilang katinuan. i remember a movie saying na when the time comes na you are not asking yourself if nasa katinuan ka pa ba, its an indicator na malapit ka ng mag cross ng line dun sa kabalintunaan. siguro this is the same thinking why sometimes i check myself asking if "nababaliw na ba ako" how can i tell that im still in my real world and not crossing that line? do u ever ask urself about this, and if u do, are u worried for ur family that u might not know them anymore?

well we still have time to weigh the two sides. siguro the fact that im still writing here, its an indicator na tamang pag iisip pa ako, hehhe. pero hinde mo b naiisip na ung mga taong nasa kabilang line, ang tingen naman saten ay mga baliw din?

Pahabol: Si pareng Kanye West baka makarelate sa usapang "praning," after nyang gumawa ng eksena sa MTV video music awards, where Taylor Swift won the best female video.
