letter of demands (to my future-self)

People in their 20s blur the line of adulthood and infantile  My upcoming birthday gives me time to ponder on the first year since I graduated---that I have bigger responsibilities while still remaining that I am a student of life (I have a lot to learn). Things happened so fast that everything seemed to be on blur and in fast forward motion. To borrow Alphaville's Forever Young:  I wanna be forever young//                                                                                                      It's so hard to get old without a cause //I don't want to perish like a fading horse //                                                     Youth is like diamonds in the sun // And diamonds are forever 

And so, I write a letter of demand to myself (goals, constructive criticisms, and limitations included), which I hope will eventually embody my future personality.

First, I want to have a sense of direction! It seems like the only direction I know is towards the mall. Seriously, my line of work requires a depth knowledge of the ins and outs of the metro, and sans  the Google Map app, I  do not know where the heck will I be. (But thanks to this convenient invention, I get by every day.)

Have serious purchases! Okay, perhaps heaps of clothes, imeldific shoes, and myriad of accessories don't count as "serious investments" but I realize I need important items that will last a lifetime (read: car of my own etc.)

Be the Jack of All Trades! 'Nuff said.

Travel the World! It has only been lately when I started traversing places other than my residence and workplace. Credit to the line of my passion and work, I get to travel to places I've only read in books and seen on television shows. Travelling opens one to different cultures, traditions, and beliefs. A small trinket to remind a certain place is just a bonus.
