I’ve been doing the same things over and over again these past few years. I’m afraid of trying new things, of taking chances so I end up with routines. Being a sheltered brat, I haven’t done a lot of fun and wacky stuffs in my life; stuffs that someday I’ll be proud of.
This year, I’ll try to step out of my comfort zone. I’ll try things that I haven’t done before. I listed down things I want to do or to accomplish this year. This is just a short list but I’ll try to fill it up as the year goes by.
Here’s the things that I look forward to this 2011:
Learn how to use Photoshop. I’ve wanted to learn Photoshop ever since. But I’m so damn lazy. This year, I’ll give it a shot. I’m a blogger so I must know how to work it.
Grab my second license*. This year, I’m going to take the NLE. I really want to top the board exam (huuuuugh!) so I need to study, study, study. I’m quite scared. But hey, a brilliant mind doesn’t need much bombardment. XD
* I got my first license (in Midwifery) almost two years ago.
Get a job. Sheeze! I’m gonna experience what the real world is like. Provided that I passed the board.
Give mom a decent gift on her birthday. This is embarrassing but I haven’t done this for the longest time. The last I gave my mom a birthday gift (if you even consider it as a gift) to my mom was 5-6 years ago and that was only a card. Budgeting this college freaks me out. But I’ll give her one this year. I just don’t know what.
Watch at least twenty movies in theatre. I wanna surpass my best record of 18 set in 2009.
Get a new phone. I’m just so sick and tired of my current phone. It is as old as the ship captain of Titanic.
Buy a DSLR. I know this is quite a luxury but I’m already egging Tita A to buy one for me.
Learn Bisaya. I don't know how I can pull this off but I'll try. I have few friends from Mindanao and I know they are very willing to help. I'm also finding sites in the net that offers Bisaya tutorials (if there's any). Learning a new dialect can be a hobby.
Corregidor. I find Corregidor very mystical. Media portrayed it as a ghost hunting haven. I want to have my own perspective of the place. And it’s not pricey to go there. I was told.
Caramoan. It’s a shame that I live only 5 hours away from that "Survivor" paradise and yet I haven’t been there. I'm not even aware of this place until last year when I heard in the news that Survivor France was shot there.
Be part of a medical mission. Obviously, no one beats charity works!
Invest in a good pair of shoes. I have 3 (rubber) shoes but they are all (kinda) old and overused. Old shoes are not-so-good. And not-so-good shoes bring you to not-so-good places. XD
Have a girlfriend. I’m just kidding. This is not a priority this year. But who knows?
A goal without a plan is just a wish (Thank you Ate Chyng) so I’m going to take a serious whack at it this year. My goal is to completely finish everything on the list before the clock strike 12 on December 31, 2011. This is no way going to be a walk in the park but I have a strong feeling that I can accomplish all of these – fingers crossed.

CONFESSIONS OF A BLOGGER Part II
No, this is not going to be a “Confession of A Blogger” chronicle. Well, that’s the plan but who knows? I just feel like I need to make a sequel ‘cos I had a blast doing the first list last year. Basically, it’s just a list of random little secrets that I have always wanted to share to friends but never gets enough guts to actually share it. The first list was consist of pretty safe stuffs. This time Imma take it to a higher level – it’s gonna be a mix of safe and dirty and guess what, everything on the list, I’ve never shared to anyone before. So, consider yourself lucky people. Hahaha.
1. Everyone thinks I’m metrosexual. Hell no! I have nothing against MS guys but please. Believe me; I have no fuss at all. I take a bath for 10 mins (and that’s the maximum), no special soaps, no creams. I just want to look clean and mabango always. Of course, I don’t want to smell like onion. XD
But wait, I bring my cologne and loose powder wherever I go. Is that being MS?
2. I’m not really close with my dad since I was a kid. He’s not been a good dad. He and Mom are still together but he stays in Pampanga while I, my mom and my sisters are here in Bicol. To tell you honestly, I prefer this kind of set-up than being in one house with him. If you ask me: Do you love him? Yes, he’s still my dad after all. But do you love him the way you love your mom? No.
3. I hate people who misspell my name. How many times did I saw my name spelled as Jobert, Rubert, John Robert and worst Juvy *damn to that SLG crew*? People just fucked it up! They can’t decide if it’s a “u” or an “o”. Hey, it’s J-U-B-E-R-T J-O-H-N. Honest mistake or not, it’s still a mistake and needs to be corrected, right? Now that you know, once is ok, twice is forgivable and the third is “suntukan na lang oh”.
I’m quite blaming Mom for this. She could just named me Patrick Henry or Christian Andrew or as simple as James Edward Alexander Theo. Lol, so Britisssssh.
4. I never experienced to kiss a girl on the lips. ‘Cos of this, my good-for-nothing friends laugh at me as if my whole life depends on it. Eh, anong magagawa ko? I only had one girlfriend, very mahinhin pa. But I’m not complaining.
5. I never been involved in a fist fight before. I don’t know, maybe I’m just too good so they think I’m a saint. Or maybe, I look like a rebel’s son so they stay away from me. If you agree on any of these statements, you better start running and save your life.
*Part of this post has been edited out. One concerned reader reminded me that I must be responsible for my own actions (and words too!). BAM! It hit me. So in response to him, I'll delete nos. 6, 7 and 8 which I think some readers found unsavory. I'll just send it to you, ONLY if you requested. Just leave your FB account here. This is the best I can do for the moment.
And another thing, actually this is a personal request, please vote for my uber lovely friend Darlene. She'll be representing my school (Bicol University - TABACO Campus) in the Search for PNSA's Ambassadress of Goodwill. All you have to do is to like her photo here. But don't forget to like the page first. Please please do. I would really appreciate it. THANKS!

Talking of HANDSOME?
I have just completed the hard task of choosing TEN bloggers who has the "most-pamatay" looks (WTF!) for this year's hottest competition on the blogosphere --- "TOP 100 MOST HANDSOME PINOY BLOGGERS FOR 2010". This is the battle between the handsome-mest Filipino bloggers launched by LBG of the brilliant blog Laboyboy. I've sorted 120 nominees and it wasn't a joke, to tell you.
It is hard choosing ten handsome bloggers without even the smallest hint of bias. I started drafting this list while we're having our boring class (name of subject withheld) last Friday morning. I had about two or three erasures. Ten is not really enough but that's the limit.
Anyway, here they are, the TEN most handsome Pinoy bloggers for 2010. For me, at least. *there's no room for nasty comment so zip it*
Dim the lights please...
There are ten photos in my hands. These photos represent the ten bloggers who will continue their quest to become the "Most Handsome Pinoy Blogger for 2010". Those who haven't been called must immediately pack their belongings and go.
Let's start with, who else, Candidate No. 22. *crowds go gaga*

For the Fossil watch
The past week has been pretty tiring for me both physically and mentally. Folk dance competition. PNSA Regional Congress. Thesis. Classes and duties. *sigh* So, just imagine my delight when I read about the contest launched by Ate Grace as she and her blog celebrates their second year in the blogosphere in January. What a struck of good fortune? YAHOO!
The instruction is as simple as 1 2 3. All you have to do is to create a blog entry stating three of your favorite places that you have been to and three places you wish to visit someday. You may also give brief explanation as to why these are your favorite places and why you dream of going to these places. REMEMBER: they can be anywhere in the world, as in... anywhere. And, the instructions says ONLY 3 so you must stick with it. OK? *wink* Just to be safe.
It's not really hard for me to choose three of my favorite places because I don't travel a lot. HAHA. So little money to spend. I'm still a student, remember?

3. BAGUIO
One thing I enjoyed doing most in Baguio: buying key chains. LOL.
PS. Me and my friends are planning to have a quick visit to Baguio next year during our summer affiliation in Manila.
It's been almost 5 years since my first and last (hopefully not) visit to the City of Pines but the memories are still vivid like it was just yesterday. If I'm not mistaken, that's the first time that me and my family went out-of-town together, making it super extra special for me.

2. I-DON'T-KNOW-THE-EXACT-PLACE, ZAMBALES
My first trip to my grandfather's hometown was very memorable and it will always have a special place in my heart. But, what I enjoyed most about our trip there is when our relatives brought us to - hold your breath - their private beach resort facing the South China Sea. Isn't that wonderful? I apologize because I don't know the exact location of the resort. Oh, my bad!
That's also the time when I saw the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen in my entire life.
Yes, Manila. Why not? I have been going to Manila two to four times a year since I was a kid (I'm from the province, you know) but this city doesn't fail to amaze me everytime I set foot into it. The lights. The noise. Manila Bay. And not to mention its night life and its beautiful girls. Everything is just beyond the usual. Though it is nothing compared to New York, Paris or London but still, for a Filipino like me, there's no place in the world like Manila.
I'm planning that right after I earned enough money, I'll pack up my things, go ahead and see the world. And these are the three places at the top of my own "501 Places to Visit Before I Die" list. HAHA.
I'm dying to visit this lovely European city someday. I'm drooling (yucks!) everytime my mom tell me stories about her travel to Vienna few years back. I would love to see the Imperial Court Theatre, the St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Rathaus.
South Africa? Egypt? Or Kenya perhaps? Believe me, I dream of traveling to the "Black Continent" someday. It would be amazing, isn't it? Seeing wildlife at its best. Raaaar!
There you go, my three favorite places I've been to and three places I dream of going to. TAKE THAT!
HELLO! Whoever is reading this who owns a blog, you can make your own post too. You got only hmmm... 4 hours to do it. So, hurry! A Fossil watch is at stake. You want that, don't you? Good luck.

3. BATANES
In my own dictionary, "traveling" is defined as a time for relaxation (take note of that) so I think Batanes suits me big time. Ever since, I perceived Batanes as a very calm and serene place. And that's the main reason why I want to experience life there.
