I want to be

At this point in my life, it's very clear to me what I was meant for in terms of vocation. I realized my innermost calling just around 3 years ago. How I wish it came upon me at an earlier age so I wouldn't have waisted time and effort pursuing dead-end alleys of life. But I guess, those wandering years have shaped my character substantially in order for me to appreciate my life passion. This entry however is not about my calling. This is about what I still wish for. And if only I could live parallel lives simultaneously,
I want to be...

...a secret agent. NBI perhaps. So this means that I have to take up 4 or 5 gruelling years of Law. Not bad though because that would mean I could become a practising lawyer when I'm not on assignments.
... a pilot. This is one of my frustrations. My parents refused to send me to pilot school back then because it was very expensive. I really enjoy seeing pilots in their very dignified uniforms. I'm still imagining how it is like walking around in airports wearing a pilot's uniform. Siguro ang gwapo gwapo ko, haha.
... a gymnast. I know it seem to be an effeminate sport but look at their body form! It's so perfectly chiseled and just imagine the power and strength behind the form.
... a serious scientist. I am a scientist by the way but not as serious as I want to be because of too many life distractions. I want to be world-renowned in my field because of books and articles that I have written (or would be writing).
... a photo journalist. I think this would match the part of me which is very reflective and introspective. I love travelling around and observe life and people. Photos and essays about these experiences would be really fun for me.
On the side, I want to...
... join a tri-athlon. I'm a relatively good swimmer, I could run, but I think I'm a weak cyclist. But just the same, I want to experience competing in a tri-athlon.
... try sky-diving. I have a penchant for thrill rides and experiences.I think sky-diving is the ultimate zoom. It's not a cheap thrill though.
... go around the Philippines for 6 months and take photos. I want to have a collection of churches, monuments, beaches, mountain views, and snapshots of Filipinos in their daily grind. I have gone around the Philippines quite a lot but there is so much more to see. I have been to very few places in Mindanao.
... live among the monks in Tibet for 3 months. This experience would probably recharge my soul for 10 years!
... travel in the provinces of Greece, Nepal, Egypt, India, Cambodia, and Russia. I have been to around 20 countries already but I think these places are musts. I'm targetting a total of 50 countries in the next 20 years.
