It's 2 am and i just finished watching The Bucket List. It's been quite a while since I last saw a movie that really moved me deeply. It may appear to be a simple yet brilliant movie played by two of the equally brilliant actors, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. And whenever I get to see a good movie I just have to go ahead put it in writing and make a review of it. However as i was watching it, it somehow made me realize a lot of things. Particularly life in general.

All of us has this 'bucket' that we need to fill in with things we believe that measure life. We wanna be able to experience just about anything. We may want to do different things individually, yet there is but one place it all lead us to- JOY.

I always say to myself, I don't wanna die without knowing my purpose. But are we all destined to know that? A lot of people die never realizing what they lived for and what truly measured their lives. In this movie, knowing that they're both counting the final days of their lives, Carter asked Edward two questions:

Have you found joy in your heart?
Has your life brought joy to others?

In most situations, we may find it dumb to even care about it. Why give a fuck if we know we got all the time in the world? I guess because true enough, when you face the finals days of your life, it's all that would really matter.

In my life, there are a lot of things I regret I did. And some I keep doing like i've never learned from them. But if you come to think of it, it's better to regret on things you did, than to look back and regret on things you wished you did while you still had a chance.

Some may not have joys in their lives at the moment, but who knows along the way, by being brave enough to just do the things we want to do, we may figure it out before we finally kick the bucket. For all we know, we can find the joy in things we dare to do, no matter how big or small it is.

So let me end this by scribbling things i wanna include in my Bucket List and you may also wanna do the same. I guess the bottom line of it is we all wanna end up like how Carter and Edward did in the movie, when they closed their eyes, their hearts were opened.

my bucket list:
-get a tattoo
-live independently
-end a relationship/friendship that's no longer healthy
-reunite with old friends
-find me a man!
-go to orphanage

-kiss a total stranger
-laugh till i cry
-bungee jump
-go to el nido
-write a novel
-dance in the rain with someone
-tell my parents i love them
-make love under the stars

.:: and the list goes on...
