FMS Photo-a-day Challenge

book

For god-knows-how-many years now, I had been trying to complete this 30-day challenge from Chantelle Ellem --it's called FMS Photo-A-Day (details on how to play can be found on her blog). I had once been fortunate enough to complete a whole month, and that was last July 2014 (I remember it 'coz i blogged about it hehe!).


This year, I will --once again, try to accomplish this month's photo-a-day challenge. I'd feel more amazed if I can do more than one month, but let's not push it too far. For now, I'm aiming to complete this month's challenge, and will strive to do next month's.

First day's photo prompt is FAVE COLOUR. First thing that came to my mind was PURPLE, of course. It has been my favorite for a decade now. GREEN is my all-time favorite, whereas PINK is my secret personal favorite. Confused? I'll put it this way, when it comes to my personal things and trinkets, I would always pick purple items. For household items, or furnitures, or anything that involves the HOUSE, I would most likely pick something green (or white). Pink has been a fave, but I replaced it with purple almost immediately. However, in instances purple is not available, then the next pick would be the pink ones. So, pink is still a fave, but it's just our little secret.

I took a pic of my pens using my phone for today's prompt and used the app Snapseed to enhance the photo:


It is now humbly posted on my Instagram. I'm trying to be artistic. Minimal, but still artistic. I'm not sure if I have achieved that with this photo. The back-side of J.K. Rowling's book, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, seems to have done the photo justice. Or so I want to believe. :) 

BUCKET LIST

books

Somewhere along the starts of this year, I decided to write down my own BUCKET LIST. It was my first time to ever do so...

I don't know what got into me.

Here's the list:


And here's the standing so far:

- Travel to an ASIAN country - (x) ...at least not yet!
- Visit 3 local provinces - (x) ...but I've been to Bacolod three times, and Iloilo three times, too, so does that count?? ^_^ No? Okay.
- Learn a musical instrument - (x) ...believe me, I really want to!
- Get braces - (x) ...seems far-fetched! None of my friends or family supports me on this-- they actually strongly believe my crooked teeth looks fine.
- Learn to swim - (x) ...I don't think I ever will. I tried, but I really do not float.
- Watch a sunset - (?) ...I did, once, but I don't wanna count it because I was walking and watching. Not just "watching". Such standards!
- Complete a month of #FMSPhotoADay Challenge -


All hail:


I love July for this! I got to finish a month -- finally! Of course, with a help from my friends, coz I really can't do this by myself. I tend to forget, sometimes intentionally. But I got to finish it this time! I am so happy! ^_^ That's one off my bucket list! (and no plans to do it again...)

And so, for the next months, here are some things that I'm adding to my "to acquire" list:


...may this blog post act as a simple reminder for me to strive to get them all by the end of the year. 
- Angeology (I strongly believe I have Nephilim blood! ^_^)
- Love Story (I know I've read this, but I already forgot how beautiful it was!)
- BookmarkSlashDictionary (because I have to.)
- The Book of Love (because I want to.)
- Clutch Bible --the priciest of them all (but because I NEED to!)

...anyway I still have 5 months to completely tick off everything in my list.

May the odds be ever in my favor :)

P.S. 
I didn't write more. 
My penmanship's still ugly. 
(But only because it can't keep up with my uber fast thinking kuno.)
