Day 9: Relaxing day after an eventful week

Today was a relaxing day for me. I got to sleep in and got my much needed 9 hours of sleep. After taking my time eating breakfast, I did some cleaning up around the house. I swept the kitchen floor and mopped it. I vacuumed rooms upstairs. At 1pm I had to meet my friend to collect money for some movie tickets. She asked me to go for coffee. I said it was such a hot day, let's go for bubble tea instead. We went to Bubble World on Kingsway across the street from Safeway at Kingsway and Joyce. While we were there, another friend joined us because she needed to give me money for movie tickets. We were there for about two hours. Boy, the two hours came and went super fast. It was really nice to just sit and chill and not worry about anything for two hours. We weren't in a rush to do anything or go anywhere.

When I got home, I relaxed for a few more hours before my dad and I went out for dinner. We went out for pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup) at a restaurant on 1st and Nanaimo. Pho is one of my favourite foods. I eat it more quickly than any other food. While at dinner I was thinking about how I can work on my bucket list tonight. I decided to rent the movie The Bucket List and watch it because I have never watched it before. I don't usually like watching movies myself. But one thing I have to learn to do is to watch a movie / show myself without letting other things, like my computer, distract me. I did manage to finish watching the movie without letting my computer distract me.

The movie The Bucket List was a good movie. It is about two men who have cancer and have only 6 months to live. They decide to go on a 'bucket list journey'. They travel around the world to accommplish things on their list. Their bucket list is one list they make together. Everything on their list is crossed off by the end of the movie. It was an emotional movie for me. Yes, I did cry by the end of the movie.

After the movie, I just chilled out at home and did some more relaxing. It's now past midnight and way past my bedtime.

365 Day Challenge

This is the first day of the 365 Day Challenge. This challenge is about working on my bucket list every day for the next 365 days. This is a commitment to myself that I can achieve everything on my bucket list. My bucket list is a list of things to do before I die. I do not want to die anytime soon. But when I die, I would like to know that I have accomplished the things I have always wanted to do. I may not be able to cross off all 100 things off my list by the time I die, but I would like cross of 50 - 75 % of the items on my list.

The 365 Day Challenge is about working on my bucket list. For the next 365 days, I will spend at least 10 mins a day on my bucket list. It will range from doing an activity on the list to researching something on my bucket list. Some items will be a one time thing (paragliding) and some items are more long term (live in the now).

I will be writing in this journal every day. Learning to write is on my bucket list. I will be writing about anything on my mind. It will range from my family, my thoughts about my day or my feelings about my past or my thoughts on anything else.

I have to get to bed. I will be trimming my hair tomorrow. They say that cutting your hair will make your hair grow longer / faster. I am hoping to grow my hair longer to donate it to cancer patients or to shave it off to raise money for cancer.
