TapSiLog · 12-03-2003, 11:34 PM

on the bus this morning, a couple of guys who sat behind me were discussing the things that they hope they would be able to do before they die and suffer in hell..

so this kept me thinking for the remainder of 30min ride to office..

hmmm.. let's see.. i actually have so many things in mind but i tried to narrow the list to 5..these are my immediate to-do list (travel related somehow).. so here goes..

- backpack europe!!!

- scuba dive at great barrier reef

- see at least half of the wonders of the world.. i have never seen one as yet

- see the northern light!!! :greenguy:
- experience the 4 seasons (kinda pathetic but i come from a tropical country.. and i have never experienced snow my whole life!!!

)

this list can go on and on......

so what's in your list?

**Mocassin** · 12-04-2003, 03:55 PM

Mhhh...2 guys or a guy and a girl...2 girls? Why not...heheh!

**joanofarc** · 12-04-2003, 04:10 PM

i had a threesome once, with a guy and a girl - my roommate and a girl at our halloween party, i didn't like it - it felt really awkward - they kept teasing me about it, but i stopped in the middle of the whole thing - i guess i only like to get freaky one at a time.

**Mocassin** · 12-04-2003, 04:34 PM

Yeah, you should not do that with someone close to you, like a roommate! I guess I would just want to try it to be able to say I did it! But I'd rather have one at a time too...I did kiss a guy and a girl at the same time once, funny thing! haahah!

**joanofarc** · 12-04-2003, 04:38 PM

yeah, i shouldn't have taken it there with my roommate.

Wow that's nice Dio!!! :D I know, I just love to make them talk...Heheh!
One of my bf had a hammock from Mexico and we would sleep in it, and I loved to read in it...It was in our bedroom and took all the place, but we loved it! You need a lot of warm blankets because it gets cold compared to a matress...

Columbia · 12-04-2003, 05:26 PM

I would like to write a book.

**Mocassin** · 12-04-2003, 05:39 PM

Yeah, and I could publish my poems, and make an exposition with my paintings!!!! :D

**Sijuki** · 12-04-2003, 05:58 PM

I would like to have anything published. Although I do have a poem published (in English and German) woohoo! I would love to have a book someday. I used to keep all my poetry on my website but I've moved it around so much it's kinda gone to the wayside. I was thinking about putting it up again though.

I guess I should also add.. philatnhropy to my list of things to do. I would love to be able to help people and organizations. (yes I know I can now, but I mean in a much bigger way)

TapSiLog · 12-04-2003, 06:21 PM

great list guys!! i'd like to add more on my list.. hehe
on a more personal note.. i like to have my own family and raised my children to be travellers.... travelling/backpacking is practically non-existent in my hometown.. and i would like to change that somehow...

oh man.. when i was cruising through the boards and realize that most of you are in your early 20's and some even in the their teen years.. i feel like a late bloomer!!!

how i wish i had the chance to travel when i was much much younger.. not that i'm that old...

i'm in my mid-20's..

and oh yeah! i forgot one thing.. i wanted to be a photographer for the sports illustrated swimsuit edition!! yeah!!!

and live nearby a nude beach!!!!
