There’s about a couple more weeks left before I turn a year older. Usually (or unusually) each and every year just before my birthday, I get all too sullen, almost always in a manic-depressive mood. I am like a pendulum swinging wildly on opposite poles. That kinda makes me sound like I have bipolar condition. But that’s not the case – or at least I need to get myself diagnosed first before I start dishing out a press release wahaha.
Here are a few things I want to ‘accomplish,’ ‘gain’ or ‘achieve’ when I turn ‘26.’
- Get a mandala tattooed on my right shoulder blade. Then I’ll get a sari to go with it.
- Hopefully finish writing 26 poems for myself before my birthday.
- See Monette as often as humanely possible.
- Convene with The Doyens at least once a month – or whenever our crazy schedules would permit it. Note to self: Reply to the Doyen Emails.
- Get a full body massage.
- Go to the gym. Or swim. At least once a week.
- More bonding moments with The Femme Fetales. More movie marathons and coffee sessions. A drinking spree will be greatly entertained.
- Pray more. Feed my faith.
- Love more and more and more.
- For the umpteenth time – collect the rest of Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman’ series.
- Do not stop hunting for Jessica Zafra’s ‘Chicken Pox for the Soul.’ And dream she will one day publish another book. I miss reading her stuff.
- Buy ‘The Ophelia Dimalanta Reader, Volume 1’
- Save money.
- Save myself from the pandemonium – I need to proceed with caution.
- Continue buying my mom flowers.
- Watch all the other DVDs I haven’t watched – I recently bought ‘Dogma’ and ‘Across the Universe.’ Sweet.
- I would like to get another shelf – for my books and my movie collection. I have a penchant for keeping/stacking things. Maybe in my past life I was a librarian, or a mouse.
- I want a TV stand. Mumai – let’s go to Libertad to scour for cheap furniture wahaha.
- Mohawk! Mohawk! Mohawk!
- Get my hair colored again – possibly a lighter shade of brown.
- Sing ‘Rainy Days on Mondays’ on my birthday – because I don’t recall celebrating my birthday without an ounce of rain.
- Guest in The Ellen De Generes Show. In my dreams.
