Charisma's BUCKET List

Admit it or not, all of us have this written/unwritten list of things that we want to do and places we want to explore before our lifetime ends. Well, based from experience (more from the work side of life) things wont get accomplished easily until its laid out, planned or at the very least written down.

In short, what gets measured - gets done. So here is the list of things, places, people, activities, accomplishments ++ adventures and craziness that I wish to mark as done before my lifeline hits game over.

In no particular order, and will be updated whenever I have insomnia attacks and lalala/blah lull moments.

DIVE LOG: Open Water Flash Back

I have been out of my Underwater Wonderland far too long. Coming from an at least every month Diving Habit since I got certified last January 2009, it is such a shame that my last Scuba Dive was last August 2010. So before it officially turns a year of Scuba Drought, my buddies and I are driving to Anilao, Batangas for an "Awesome Diving Weekend" this August 20-21. Since it feels like I'll be diving for the very first time, I cannot help but recall my first encounter with SCUBAAAA..
