I was going through my dashboard, and you know how people post pretty pictures of couples and the things that they do? Well, that inspired me to create a list of the things that I really want to do with the boyfriend that God will bless me with.
List of Things to do with Future Boyfriend:
1. Share our devos with each other after we’ve fasted from each other for a week. Hm. I think this should be self-explanatory. No? Well, I think it’ll help the relationship if we give up a week our time with each other and just spend that time with God. After all, He should be the center of all our relationships anyway.
2. Go to Enchanted Kingdom together. As cheesy and cliched as it sounds, it’s one of the things that I would really want to experience. I mean, I’ve been there before, of course. I suppose the idea was reinforced when there are couples who go on amusement park dates present in every Korean drama. It’s just that their amusement parks are so much nicer and cooler.
3. Have a turista tour of Manila. Of my almost 21 years of existence, I am sad to say that I haven’t really seen the “must see” sights in Manila. I’ve been on field trips but they are limited to the National Art Gallery and Intramuros. (Besides, field trips are stressful and tiring because you’re constricted by time.) I’d love to go to Luneta, walk along the Manila Bay boardwalk, and maybe ride the kalesa for a few minutes. Hey. A girl can dream. Haha.
4. Drive aimlessly together. There will be times when I don’t really know where I want to go, but I just feel like going out of the house. So future boyfriend has to be game to take me nowhere in particular. Gas up!
5. Commute from (my) home to anywhere worth commuting to [i.e. MOA, National Library, National Museum, etc.] I think I’ve shared my frustrations on not being allowed to commute by myself? Besides, I believe in that common saying: The journey is more important than the destination. Or something like that.
6. Have brunch at Tagaytay. I remember back in high school, my family and I had to wake up extra early just to have brunch at Antonio’s in Tagaytay (then travel all the way back home to Antipolo). I guess part of the reason why I love that memory so much was because I was with my family, the good food and the ambiance. Pero ayoko naman umuwi agad after eating. :))
7. Go to LaMesa Eco Park. I went there with the rest of my high school batch mates back when I was a sophomore. It was beautiful.
8. Watch all 8 Potter movies with me. See, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a muggle, pureblood or half-blood. As long as you support me in my simple joys. Don’t think that I’m weird, that as a fully grown adult, I continue to watch and support all the cast members of the series. Also, it would be great if you would hand me over a box of tissue when a) Sirius dies, b) Dumbledore dies, c) Dobby dies, d) When Deathly Hallows 2 starts playing.
9. Expect that I’ll frequent the bookstores, so just smile and come with me. I love going to bookstores and looking at book covers and their summaries at the back cover. I’m not always going to end up leaving with a purchase. But come with me, nonetheless? It’s one of the simple things that I enjoy.
Last but certainly not the least…
10. Go to and volunteer at an orphanage or daycare center. As my future boyfriend, you should know what my course is and what it entails. Know that I love children. They will be a huge part of my life. And if I can, I’d spend my free time with them.
So there! Hm, I know it seems really… boring. Haha. But I want to keep it as family-friendly as possible. :))
