This great tag was from Mimi of Sleepless in KL [thanks, Mimi]! There are four steps:

1. List down what you want for your birthday.
2. The list should have 10 items.
3. Post the image of this award in your posting.
4. Give it to 10 friends of yours.

I haven’t actually thought about this yet because my birthday is still a good 6 months away. But thinking about it now, I honestly can’t think that much of stuff I want to receive on my birthday, at least not materially. However, I have to rack my brains because I have to have a wish somehow! So here goes:

[Note. Since it's for my birthday, I won't go too noble and wish for world peace and a greener Earth, although I wish for these every day.]

1. Tops on my list is, of course, that my family remain in top health for many years. That includes my mother being cured of her cancer.

2. That Wendy grows up to be a good girl. Yun lang okay na sa akin.

3. That our company remain “recession-free” for the next couple of decades. [Remember that Wendy wants to work here too, so better cover the next hundreds of years! ]

For the next wishes, I realized that  there’s nothing more I want than to travel. So I’m taking 7 wishes for travel because I really want to see the world. I want my world to expand, I want to explore the world…kahit malapit lang, basta makaalis! Right now, tops on my list are the following:

Philippines:

4. First on the list, as always, is Batanes, and not only to go on a vacation but also to learn more about their culture

5. Bantayan Island in Cebu. And while I’m there, why not go to Malapascua Island na rin?

6. Donsol, Sorsogon, to swim with the whale sharks

Elsewhere:

7. Since Garando posted on his and his wife’s trip, I’ve wanted to go to India to see the Taj Mahal.

8. Switzerland. I love this country, not to mention it’s the home country of Roger Federer. They say Switzerland is beautiful!

9. Greece. I’ve always been fascinated with this country’s culture and structures. I want to see where the first Olympics was held..

10. Africa, to see their culture and see wildlife at its best, and maybe to do some charity work

Now that you have seen my list, you have 6 months to send donations, especially for items 4 to 10.

I’m skipping the fourth step of the tag and hope somebody just picks this up.

Happy weekend everyone!
