My First...

A list of the first things I've ever done in the States:



  1. Drive
  2. Ask a man out (but of course I felt that there was something there, hehehe)
  3. Buy my own car
  4. Live completely by myself
  5. Buy a game console for myself
  6. Colour my own hair
  7. Follow up on a job after an interview
  8. Ask for a raise (since in the companies that I worked for back home, they give you a review yearly)
  9. Buy a bed
  10. Start a blog
  11. Design a shirt (not good though)
  12. Buy Converse shoes and lots of them (I had one pair when I was little but it was from my Dad)
  13. Say I love you first without expecting to hear it back
  14. Break my patterns
  15. Drive far and go to a Casino by myself (I lost though, hahahaha but it was fun)
  16. Walk to work
  17. Ride the bus constantly to work for one and a half year
  18. Send a balikbayan box
  19. Be an OFW and send remittances
  20. Write first a stranger in friendster but with connection (not a man, ok?)
  21. Touch a dog owned by a stranger (Dogs at home bite big time but here, they're really treated as babies although big/ugly dogs still scare me)
  22. Cook caldereta
  23. Cook an entree for a man
  24. Bring dinner to a man when he's busy working
  25. Seize the day
  26. Cry in a bus
  27. Put a light bulb (just 20 minutes ago, it's funny huh?)
  28. Build/assemble a cabinet (small one only)
  29. Wash my own sheets (Normally I would have these picked up back home or a helper took care of these)
  30. Spend $800 for a one time visit to a dentist (I hate this one!)
  31. Work as a server in a small food place
  32. Work 2 jobs
  33. Sleep on an airbed in the living room for more than 6months
  34. Have a break up over the phone and do not see that guy ever again
  35. Kiss a guy that I'm not really dating
  36. Buy myself an expesive purse (that most women do all the time)
  37. Buy a coffee table
  38. Buy a wine for my own use at home (I haven't drunk actually)
  39. Think of dying
  40. Question the existence of God (or maybe it was always there but people back home don't say these things freely)
  41. Play texas hold'em poker
  42. Create a Friday group at work (way gone)
  43. Write constantly
  44. Love writing even when I'm not good at it
  45. Subscribe to a magazine
  46. Fight for what I feel

To be continued once I think of more.

Wow, quite a list cuz. I bet you wouldn't have done a few things in that list if you're here in Manila.

I just wish you a lot more of good things to come and I'm proud of you for everything you've accomplished.

Miss you much.
