My Life Goals

'More wine, I think, Gracchus. You know, lad, when you are my age, if you should be lucky enough to live that long, when color and taste and even ambition have lost the brightness you think is so natural, I hope you will meet a young cockerel just like you are now - so you can see what I see. I hope you will remember me then. It is a bitter-sweet thing, believe me, but you will not understand until that day.'

Hello, my fellow humans!

Once again, with a facial mask on my face, I thought I'd do a little blogging before returning to the harsh realities of responsibilities and broken dreams called life... Now aren't we off to a good start? (Note the sarcasm.) So what prompted me to start blogging again after God knows how long was that small little paragraph I got after reading a book I borrowed from a friend of mine called Emperor : The Blood Of Gods. Somehow after reading that small paragraph, it occurs to me that one day, I may be in that very same position and saying the very same thing. Okay, not exactly the same, but something similar to it... You know the drill. That is why for today's blog, I'm thinking of listing out the things I want to do in the future in my current naive mindset and see whether I would achieve any of it when the time comes. Who knows, I may enjoy reading this blog post again in my twilight years, laughing at how innocent I was back then, while telling my grandchildren about how kick-ass awesome their grandma was and still is. 

So without further a due, let's start listing! 


The book I'm currently reading and the inspiration of this blog post.
No #1 : Science All The Way


Nerd Alert!
Since my current path is most likely leading towards the medical field (What? I'm an Asian, sue me) and if everything goes as plan, I'm seeing myself as a researcher in the medical field in the future. When that time really come, I'm expecting to see you, future Nutt, to invent this really awesome slash useful thing (Gosh knows what you're researching at that time) that would help the poor and the needy. Plus, an invention that could make your family proud too. Now isn't that very Asian of me. Might as well just cook some rice while I'm at it. "I stay home cook rice." (Only a true Ryan Higa fan will understand that *wink* *wink*) 

No #2 : The Animal Rescue



A little side note about me, I have a soft spot for animal. Like, really. If I see a man getting beaten up in a video, the most I'll feel for the man is sympathy. But let me see a video of a poor, innocent animal getting beat up... Oh, sh*t is about to go down. I will sign thousands of petitions, pray to God for some efficient Karma, start a freaking campaign and even donate my whole bank account to hunt those people down if I have to. Anyways, I want you, Phyllis Nutt of the future, to volunteer at your nearby animal shelter and be that kick-ass hero you were born to be. Well, kind of... In all seriousness, I really want to see you save those poor creatures from their poverty and sufferings in the future. 

No #3 : The Author



One of my favorite activities is writing. Be it a blog post, a novel, a short story or even a one shot, I love doing them all. And I'm guessing you do too, future Nutt. Therefore, I want you to publish a book. Yes, you heard me, publish a freaking book. I know you have and will have tons of terrific ideas for a story, so put them in good use. I want you to be able to feel your story as an object, not some virtual thing that is either going to be in your pen drive or your Wattpad account. Besides that, go visit places to be inspired. Sit in a cozy cafe for the whole day, sketching out ideas in the middle of a train station or even typing away in your laptop in some quiet place, just let your imagination run wild and free. I know it's what you always wanted, or at least that's what I've always wanted to do.

No #4 : The Award-Winning Actress


Okay, the title of this... Paragraph? Sub-topic? Fragment? Gee.. What do you even call this? Anyways, this title may be a little too exaggerating. What I really meant is that you would try acting for once. I've seen you act before (Well, mostly in the bathroom and in the comforts of your bedroom, but you get my point), and I'd say it's a waste if you don't try it out. Besides, you love acting, so I don't see why not. Maybe try starting out as a stunt woman or something, or even auditioning for a role in the local productions. Plus, if you really manage to succeed, you'd get to walk on that red carpet you always hope to walk on. But if you can't, don't pressure yourself. After all, it's all for the sake of fun.

No #5 : The Investor


Now I know you've never had any experience in finance or business when you were younger (Sorry, I just thought Science was more fun than Commerce), but you're never too old to learn. So don't fret, Phyllis from another decade. As long you're not buried in your grave, go learn to do some investing! I'm counting on you, future Phyllis. I'm rooting for you to be a millionaire someday. My (Or rather our) future is upon your hands now, so no pressure.

No #6 : The Sassy Homemaker


At some point of your life, I am sure you’re bound to get married and eventually have kids. Be it the influence you get from your friends or managing to find your soul mate, you will definitely settle down despite having that “I will be single forever” mantra stuck in your head. And when that time comes, don’t be the kind of wife or mother that always play by the rules or is strict as hell, be the type where you’re both responsible and fun, be the sassy homemaker! Fill your family with lame puns and sarcasm till the point where your husband and children have a hard time choosing between loving you or hating you, because trust me, there will be no in betweens.

No #6 : The World-Travelling Performer

Piano Around The World
Since you were a little girl, the thrills you get whenever you board a plane is enough to know that you have a heart for traveling. Besides that, I know you also like performing. (Wait… Of course I know that. You ARE me.) So why not merge this two interest of yours together. Travel the globe to learn new things and meet new people, and at the same time perform for the people around you, be like Piano Around The World. You can also cross out one of your bucket list by getting that standing ovation you always dream about. Don’t just go through the motions in life, be brave and take chances, after all, you only live once.

No #7 : The Sloth



Last but not least, just waste your time like a freaking pro. I know how stressful your future life is going to be, with all the responsibility and pressure and whatnot, but don’t ever forget to take a break every so often. I know how you work, and trust me, you don’t work well under pressure and stress. So please do remember to just take a day off and relax, waste the day away because you deserve it. It can be a lazy day with a cozy couch, a book and a glass of warm tea, or a day spent watching Studio C or other comedy sitcom, just take a break and recharge. I can assure you, you will be better the next day.


Well, I guess this is it for today. After writing all of these, I'm beginning to feel it's more like life goals to achieve rather than just a list of things I want to do in the future. Nevertheless, at least this blogpost can give me some directions in life, so I want be just drifting through aimlessly. Before I go off, can I just say it feels so GREAT blogging again. Hahaha... Happy Blogging!
