QotD: A Vox “Bucket List”
If you had one month to live, what five things would you do?
Suggested by Acerebel.
1. Profess my undying love for Prince Harry
It isn't a secret how much I wish to be a princess and since I have one month to live I might as well get it over with and just tell him! It's not like I'm going to ever see him again anyway.
Besides I'm dying in a month, I'm sure he'd let a dying woman say her piece. A very impassioned speech at that at how I've been dying to meet him/make him fall in love with me (I would sound deranged, yes)
It's not like I'm telling him I hate him either. I'm telling him how much I would love to be his princess.
2. Travel, travel and travel some more
I've only been to a few places and I would want to maximize that as much as I could despite me only having one month more to live.
I'd breeze through Europe (London, Paris, Prague) and South America (Brazil, Paraguay, Peru) and even Africa (Namibia, Zimbabwe) right before going back to Asia (Korea, Japan, Hongkong) and finally back to Manila.
All in under a month? Why not? I think the dying part of me would have this urgency to just go and see everything.
3. Eat all the best food
I don't eat to live. I live to eat. And since I'm dying, I might as well live it up even more. And when I say live it up, I mean live it up!
I'd make sure I eat in all those restaurants that I've always wanted to try out and I would order all the best things from the menu. (steaks, japanese food, italian food, filipino food, chinese food)
Who cares about cholesterol? I'm dying in a month, remember?
4. Chill with my friends
I would make sure I saw all my friends from all those "phases" in my life. There was the high school phase (Lee, Hannah and Iza -- and all my other friends like Klar, Sam, Gela, Jo), the college friends (from my course -- Anna, Sophie, Ruth, Sandy, Marian and too many people to mention, from my org -- Con, Kimbe, Ely, Ter, Flau and too too many people to list) and even online friends.
I would just sit and relax with them, sharing stories and not dwelling on the fact that I'm dying.
5. Spend even more time with my whole family
Though I spend a lot of time with them as it is, I wouldn't mind spending even more time with them. Remember, I'm dying and thus won't see them again. This bucket list makes me realize though, that I don't need to do these when I've only got one month to live. I might as well start now.
