2012.. Ahh the year it all ends. Or so they say. In my opinion, whether it ends or not, I’ve got nothing to lose by juicing out every single drop of life’s goodness I can this year.

My bucket list summary

1. To travel more but not to be a tourist.
2. Get into shape.
3. Get a pair of Backpacking Boots and scale a mountain (literally or figuratively)
4. Learn a new language.
5. Do something for my country.
6. Do more kind deeds.
7. Spend more time with family.
8. Let my loved ones know how much I love them.

If you’ve found yourself down and out, stuck in a metaphorical “rut”, you’d know that life manages to snag your interest back somehow.

I once left a box of donuts on our dining table, taking painstakingly great care to put it on top of this moat I had constructed to keep ants and bugs away. The next morning I opened the box and found a lizard inside it. I never did find out how it got in there, but I’ll never forget the amazement it brought me. My mind was pleasantly occupied for some days after that.

A fly in your soup isn’t always a bad thing. The most memorable moments are always the unexpected ones.

People inside the air-conditioned confines of Starbucks are drinking hot coffee. The people outside are drinking iced coffee.

Do people choose to sit where they are based on their drink or do they buy the drink depending on where they wanna sit?

I thought about my own purchase and I simply drew a blank. Some things are just meant to be dubbed a happy coincidence. Like coffee. And politics.
