This is just a pathetic, haphazardly-written countdown of trivial things that I didn't get to experience.
9. I'm not a Harry Potter fan. I've never read a Harry Potter book. I have only watched one of the 8 movies released, and I can't even remember which one it was. I am not a Harry Potter hater. It's just that I never really had the patience to read those thick and heavy books. I have to admit it though, I wish I was able to follow the Harry Potter journey. It's more than because people all over the world are talking about it, it is because it could have built up my passion for reading and my love for books!
8. When asked to draw a person/people, I can only draw stick man/men. I love art! I really do. But way back when I was in grade school, "art" was just a school subject where the teacher asks us to make mature drawings even if not everyone in that class really knows how to make one. Hello? Haven't they heard? People have different talents. Unfortunately, I don't have this "drawing" talent and skills. Hey, at least I know how to appreciate beauty and art.
7. I still haven't watched some of the best/most talked about movies ever. Until now, there are movies that I still want to watch even if they've been released a year ago, or two years ago, or four years ago, or even eight years ago. The Notebook, Bridesmaids, Thor, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Transformers (the entire series), Sherlock Holmes - these are just few of the hundreds (I guess) of movies I haven't seen yet. If only I know where and how to watch them, I will watch them all tomorrow!!
6. I've never been to any live concerts. That's right. I have never been to any live singer-artists' concerts. Pffffttt. I can't believe how I have allowed numerous concerts to pass without watching even one of them. I can't explain how I badly wanted to go to most of those concerts. It's always because of two main reasons: my parents not allowing me to go to the concert, thus not having money to buy the tickets + school schedule/family plans. But it's okay, now that I'm here in Vancouver, I feel like it's easier to watch those live concerts. Rihanna, Bruno Mars, Adele, and Usher, just you wait!!
5. I've never been to Europe. I'm not bothered by this at all. I'm still young. i still have lots of time to go there. But I want to be there soon. Europe is just my dream travel destination because it's so historical. Also, each European country has its distinct culture that's just easy to love.
4. I've never been on a cruise. To tell you the truth, I'm kind of afraid to ride boats. Maybe this is due to the fact that I can't swim, or probably I'm just always overwhelmed by the immensity of the ocean. I will be exhilarated if I'll get a chance to be on a cruise, though. Caribbean cruise will be lovely!
3. I don't know how to cook. Well, I know how to make a sunny side-up or a scrambled egg. I also know to cook hotdogs/sausage/spam. But that's the farthest I can go. I want to learn, I extremely do! But I'm too anxious to take cooking classes for I might not easily understand the teachers' instructions, and just ruin every meal I'll make. I know, I'm being unusually pessimistic. I guess I'm just putting myself out of embarrassment. Hahaha!
2. I'm not technically knowledgeable to play any musical instruments. I was a member of Drum & Lyre club when I was in third grade. Oh, the joy of being a grade schooler! We had regular Saturday practices. I was taught the basics of playing the lyre. I easily learned the first four songs taught to us and played them well. When Lupang Hinirang was taught to us, I just couldn't catch up. Whenever we had school parades, our club was always asked to play. I remember just hitting at any note and making annoying sounds that would ruin our harmony. After that school year, I just didn't want to play any musical instruments anymore. I don't know if it's my defense mechanism, or it's because I have this idea in mind that I once sucked at playing an instrument, but I never really had the desire to play a musical instrument again.
1. I'm not a bookworm. Sad, right? As much as I'm forcing myself to read as much novels as I can, I've only finished three books in my entire life. Two of them (Jonathan Livingston Seagull, and The Giver) are books required for book reports, so I was forced to read them. The third book I finished was The Winner Stands Alone - which I just finished this summer. After reading the book, I learned a lot. I also became inspired... by many things - by how greed eats all of us and by the fact that our dream can either recreate or kill us. After reading that book, I really promised myself that I would read more often.
Forget the title. It's just a way of saying "Yeah right people, call me loser. But just because I don't have these things/experiences I'm already a loser". I love life. I am grateful for life. I don't hate anyone or regret anything just because of the things listed above. To be honest, those things make me excited! They tell me that I still have lots to experience in life! One day, I will cook madly delicious food too. I'd love to go on a cruise and go to Europe someday. Books and I will also have a long, wonderful relationship together!
So there you are, those are the ten things that make me a loser ... me! :)
