Things you wanna do before you DIE....

I recently came up against this concept of "Bucket List". It the list of things you wanna do before you finally hit the bucket. I said, well why not to make 1 for myself. There are some things I wish to do before I die, like to Scuba dive in a clear ocean bed. I would love to wander in the dark jungles of South America. I wish to conquer the Himalyas. I would love to Bungee jump from the highest point in the world. Would like to get up close to the "Redeemer" at Brazil.I would love to be on a cruise ship headed for Europe and visit as many countries there. And then there are some real crazy ideas which I won't like to mention now as you might think I am totally insane. Have you ever thought about it? Do you wish to do certain things before you finally are at peace? Would you love to share it here at Mylot?

Hello friend, Well,well,well...all the things you have stated were really full of fun and adventures. I would like to do same thing like you want my dear. But,really,if i want to do things before my time comes,i want to spent it with my loved ones. I want to let them know how much i have loved them. I want to treat my mother to the best hotel and would pamper her like a queen.(so with my dad) I want my brothers and sister and me live a prince and princess even for a day. I want to spend a whole day with my kids talking and laughing and have fun and would listen to their stories. And,i want to spent sometimes with unfortunate people out there.I want to hear their stories too,i want to feel how it is like being "homeless",orphans,beggars" I want to feel how it is to be hungered and thirsty and dirty and treated like a dirt by the society. I want to feel everyone cries,i want to feel how it is being rich and famous,was it really happy being one of them?..or..it is also sad like those unfortunate ones ...that,despite being treated unhumanly,still,you can find smiles on their faces when you lend a hand to them. Whilst,those people who were living in palace,inspite of all the wealth and powers,still,don't find happiness within. life's really uncertain..life's really wonderful and interesting...everyone want's to find each place on earth.

Thanks for the mark dear. And,i don't deserves such compliments...glory to God for He give me opportunity to extend help on my own simple ways. I been working with charity institution for 12 years,and,till now,i can't describe the happiness within when,someone i don't know unexpectedly approaches me and say "thank you"...and when i look surprised,that someone would say "oh,can't you remember me?..i ask help from you regarding this and that,and you referred me to doctor/attorney...and,it helps me a lot and my family"...some cases like that.And,i would suddenly remember how we meet. At least,people can remember me for my good deeds. Have a great day always dear

The bucket list is such a great concept. I've done a number of the things on my own over the years, but yes, many things still remain that I would love to experience before I die: Skydive or wind surf...what a rush that would be! I've visited 35 of our 50 states and want to see the remaining ones I'd love to visit several foreign countries Write a good novel Earn my degree Swim in the ocean Own a home again rather than rent Fall in love again...for keeps Paint on a huge canvas instead of smaller ones See my sister again and four of my grandchildren who seem a million miles away right now What a great discussion topic.

After I saw the movie "the Bucketlist", I actually wrote my own things to do before I die list.. It's actually quite long, cause I wrote all the things that I would want to experience.. I think only two out of the hunder is crossed out, that is to volunteer, and to have another ear piercing. Next week, another one would be crossed out, cause I'm gonna have my hairs curled. LOL. It's super simple I know, but the things I wrote down are really what I want to do, as simple as they maybe.

You truly have made my day! It is these simple things that matters in the end I guess. We shouldn't have regrets that we couldn't do this particular thing for this "x or y" reason. i wish that every words scribbled on that piece of paper of yours is crossed out. Wish you all the very best for that. Bodhi

I thought about this a few times. I would like to become fluent in another language. I already have a fundamental basis with french but I think spanish would be more useful to me. I'd love to learn to play an instrument preferably guitar, I'd like to go on vacation out of the county i'd love to see australia
