21 FOR 21 AT 21: Wish #15

WISH #15: TOUR EVERY PROVINCE OF THE PHILIPPINES.

I have been to Negros Oriental, Iloilo, Manila, Laguna, Cebu, Bohol, and Leyte. So, that would chalk up seven provinces on the slate. 71 more to go!

Yes, including Maguindanao and Basilan.

As with any other traveler, I too am in it for the sights and sounds. But most of all, I am in it for THE FOOD.

-slobber-

All to the playlist of:

Pinikpikan

Kadangyan

Makiling

Grupong Pendong

Yano

and of course, Joey Ayala at ang Bagong Lumad

* * * * *

And so we have crossed the middle mark. 14 days to go! 14 more wishes! Good luck, godspeed, God bless!

WISH #16: OWN A CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

Mmm... Chocolate... :P

I will make the chocolate. I will eat my chocolate. I will sell the extensively enormous  surplus. And I will eat some more chocolate. :3

Like that Wonka guy... Except that my teeth are not perfect
and I'm not a total recluse. (But I am eccentric, actually.)

Of course, I'll be needing helpers. But instead of Oompa-Loompahs, I will be served a bunch of cyborg-geishas who resemble Jinri Park (uhm, yeah, her again) who act as factory workers, clean up staff, "entertainment" (to boost morale. hehe) and other functions that will depend on any necessity arising out of my bidding...

Mwahaha...

The profits will go to every charity, NGO, grassroots organization, orphanage, and every other entity and person that deserves it.

And I may need a good doctor and dentist for a future filled with diabetes and tooth-decay. And I wonder if this guy is qualified...

"Ello, evreh-badeh!"

* * * * *

15 more wishes to go. 15 days to go. Woohoo! Good luck, godspeed, God bless!

21 FOR 21 AT 21: Wish #17

WISH #17: HOLD MY OWN CELTIC CONNECTIONS CONCERT.

Celtic Connections is basically Woodstock for Celtic, folk, and world music. They hold this event with days or even weeks of music and culture around January of every year in Glasglow, Scotland. Seeing that I can't afford to process my passport and buy my ticket for a trip to Scotland [yet], I'll just have to invite them over here for my own exclusive pleasure. :)

And yes, it starts with a bang with BAGPIPES.

RUNRIG must reunite with their old vocalist, Donnie Munro...

CAPERCAILLIE must regroup with old members...

LIAM O'MAONLAI with his bodhran and primal vocals must make an appearance, as well.

PLANXTY as well, with their formidable line-up of Andy Irvine (on mandolin/vocals), Christy Moore (background/bodhran drum), Liam O'Flynn (pipes/tin whistle) and Donal Lunny (bozouki)?

Of course, THE DUBLINERS' departed members (Ronnie Drew, Luke Kelly, Ciaran Bourke, etc.) must be resurrected and regroup with the remaining [living] members and give their venerable performance too...

Aaand JULIE FOWLIS must perform with her tin whistle too.

Of course, with special appearances of...

ENYA

U2

THE CRANBERRIES

THE CORRS

And that wonderful evening of trad and contemporary Celtic/Irish/Scottish music will be capped off by a big finale.

A BIG CELTIC-WORLD MUSIC FUSION FINALE!

Alba gu brath and Erin go bragh... And I love Celtic/Irish/Scottish music. :)

* * * * *

Wishes #16 to 1 coming up. Good luck, godspeed, God bless!

21 FOR 21 AT 21: Wish #18

WISH #18: BECOME A FOLK MUSICIAN. ♫

Bisan suguran ko lang anay sa silindron...

Kon medyo advanced, piano...

Does piano qualify as a folk instrument?

Kag kon medyo ambisyoso na gid ako...

or kon super-ambisyoso na gid...

Man-skirt is optional.

* * * * *

Wishes #17 to 1 still coming up. Good luck, godspeed, God bless lang 'da anay!

21 FOR 21 AT 21: Wish #19

WISH #19: BRING BACK THE MUPPETS!!!

I want those educational or humorous puppet shows back on TV.

Why do we always come here? I guess we'll never know...♪

It's kind of like a torture to have to watch a show...♫

Creepy lookin' hula dancers. I loved Pepe the Prawn though.

"Mama...♪ Mama? Mama?! MAMA! MAMAMAMAMAMA!"

-- Animal

And I remember the termite chef with the French accent...

Ahh, soundtrack of my early childhood.

Diri ko natun-an ang kanta nga "Alin? ♪ Alin? ♪ Alin ang naiba? ♫"

Plus, KUYA BODJIE!!!

I am proud and privileged to be part of a generation that grew up watching these shows. Now, to look for Jim Henson's grave to try out that "Resurrection Spell" and usher in a Renaissance of Puppetry. ;)

* * * * *

Wishes #18 to 1 still coming up. Good luck, godspeed, God bless!

21 FOR 21 AT 21: Wish #20

WISH #20: TAKE PART IN SOME SCI-FI FILM PRODUCTION.

Bisan minor character ukon extra man lang sa sine with all the elaborate props/prosthetics/costumes, and advanced technological stuff.

Bisan Tusken raider (Sandpeople) man lang

ukon puppeteer sa Episode VII, VIII, kag IX sang Star Wars

Or perhaps if they would make another film adaptation of Frank Herbert's "Dune" saga (and I hope they do, with the motif based on the David Lynch adaptation), tani kuha-on na lang 'ko nila nga "Mentat" ("Human Computer"). :3

Like Thufir Hawat, Master of Assassins

and Mentat to House Atreides

(Note: Walang kaduda-duda. No doubt about it. I'M A GEEK.)

Watch out for Wishes #19 to 1. Good luck, godspeed, God bless!

PS: Wish me luck for the Midterm Exams and please campaign more against the Cybercrime Law whose TRO will be terminated this Feb. 5/6. NO TO E-MARTIAL LAW!

21 FOR 21 AT 21: Wish #21

Ah, the first day of February. Twenty days to go until I turn 21. Yep, the big Lucky 7+7+7...

Man, I'm getting old...

And so,  to commemorate my 21 years of existence, I will post a sort of wish list. But not just any wish list. It  is...

MY TOP 21 FOR 21 AT 21 WISHLIST!

This means that for every day starting today until the 21st of February, I will post a wish that my kapritso/budhi so desires for... Beware! Some might be corny. Some might be cheesy. Some might be too far-fetched. Some might even be too kickass awesome that your brains would freeze at the thought of such awesomeness, and then blow up!

Aaaand right at the bottom is...

WISH #21: GO ON AN ADVENTURE TO SOME FARAWAY MYSTICAL REALM WITH DIFFERENT RACES, FABULOUS CREATURES, AWESOME MAGIC AND OTHER COOL FANTASY STUFF.

I would become a Dwarf with that awesome, awesome beard, kickass armor, and uber musculature. I'd carry along a magical axe that literally disintegrates every enemy with every cleave. As for long-range combat, a blunderbuss-cum-grenade that fires pressurized liquid nitrogen [or "frost"] canisters freezing the heck out of my distant enemies [before I disintegrate them of course].

Yep, kinda like this, minus the bear
and plus the kickass armor, magic axe,
and archaic firearm of freezing caliber.

My companion in my travels would be a super-hot and super-pretty [awesome] Elven sorceress (resembling Jinri Park) who can tend my wounds with her healing spells, annihilate foes with some kickass arcane spell, and, being super-sexy and cute like Jinri Park, she can, uh... you get the picture. :3

Her, plus pointy ears and kickass magic. Nyahaha!

As for our mount and pet? To save time/effort/gold for land/sea/air travel, well...

Does a big, green, destruction-breathing, flying lizard qualify as a mount?

Then we'd be travelling around, doing quests, fighting monsters and other baddies... FOR RICHES! FOR HONOR! FOR GLORY! >_<

(One thing that this post proves? I'M A GEEK. PERIOD.)

* * * * *

Well, that's Wish #21. Look out for Wishes #20 to #1 in my next posts during the following days.

Good luck, godspeed, God bless!
