Lake Majang, Paju, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
one thing i've learned from a blogger friend lately is that "i cannot just be one thing" and that is true. i have totally forgotten about my passion projects (photography, journaling, planning, blogging) because of my acads. aaaahhh hadlang talaga ang pag-aaral HAHA chz i just need to insert these activities in my schedule.
anyway, i decided to count my blessings instead of sulking of how stuck i feel right now. looking at my bucketlist , i am happy to have ticked off a lot of things already unknowingly. thank u Lord <3
1) go to South Korea !!!!
i am very lucky to have a tita who invites us to travel with her. last time, we went to Thailand and Vietnam, and now Korea. it was such a beautiful place. everywhere has good lighting hahaha i don't know, but everywhere is instagrammable. i can't believe that what i see in kdrama is finally now in front of me. i wish i could've taken more photos though. i wish i had savored every beautiful scenery more. i wish to go back and just slow down. someday, when i have lots of money and can afford to slow down hahaha.
2) go to a Coldplay concert
aaaahh! can you believe it, i went to a Coldplay concert finally!!! and in Korea?! and what's crazier? i attended not just one, but the last two shows!! and the craziest thing about it (wait, there's more haha) is i got the tickets for only 20 euros each!! (around Php1200) so i just knew that Coldplay releases cheap tickets called Infinity tickets but you can't choose what seats you're gonna get. i don't care!! in a Coldplay concert, no seat is at a disadvantage.
luckily, on our first night we got a good view in our upper balcony seats. and on the second night, i got floor standing!! (help, my height haha) i had so much fun!!!! Coldplay concert experience is really top tier i could write another blog post for it alone. on top of that, i also saw TWICE (opening act), Rose (from Blackpink), and Jin (from BTS) perform. aaahhh
cheers to my broke college self who's a solid Coldplay fan (even ranked her top 20 Coldplay songs before?!) and tried to get tickets for their 2016 AHFOD tour in Korea. the universe is listening. thankful for this favor, Lord!
3) go to a Christian band concert
personally, i am not really keen into going to worship concerts because i like spending my quiet times with the Lord in my solitude more. but when a friend invited me to go to a Hillsong Worship concert, i think it would be a nice experience with them. thankful for the chance to get to know my friends more in this aspect!
4) go to a Taylor Swift concert
i would like to congratulate madam Taylor for finally earning her masters!!! (excited ako also to have mine hahahah) so happy for her!! and for us Swifties because we can now stream the debut and reputation album without feeling guilty! sometimes, it feels like a forgotten memory, but i will always be grateful for the Eras Tour experience last year March 2024 in Singapore. it was an experience not every Swiftie could have. i've spent a lot for that but going to a Taylor Swift concert was a gift to my younger self who literally grew up with her songs. her songs were the first songs i played in my guitar, songs i sang for school performances, the songs my friends and i sang our hearts out inside the school bus and in karaoke bars, songs that accompanied me through the pandemic (thx folklore and evermore!), and, i know, also for the years to come. so happy for her to finally find a love that's golden like daylight!
----
writing these things down right now made me realize that i could dream big dreams and eventually achieve them. there are dreams etched in our hearts that felt impossible to achieve, that we could not dare to dream it or even say about it. there are times we feel stuck in our situations and feel hopeless in reaching our dreams, but may we never stop believe that it will not work out. i don't believe in manifesting, but i believe in God's goodness and faithfulness. i can dream big because i have a big God. sooo thankful.
