Some words in the list, are good for code names, you know what I mean? Cute and interesting. ha ha Like "callipygian". It means having shapely buttocks. So, if you have a butt like J.Lo's, you are a callipygian. What a nice way to describe yourself. Or must I say, it's such a nice thing to be said about you. he he "Hey PaperTiger, what a callipygian you are." On the second thought, I rather not be told that. Especially by men. Just imagine where they are looking? And how long have they been looking. I'd surely feel uncomfortable walking past a crowd of men after.

Here's another one..."Can you hand me a savernapron? My hands are sticky." ha ha ha When you can just actually say, "can you hand me a napkin?..." I wonder what if I use this words in casual conversations. Like, "Yestreen, I went out with a winebibber. We settled in a sitooterie because he didn't want to be seen by Zoilists." ha ha I think I sound like a novelist or something. Bookworm maybe. Only not even novelists use these words anymore.

3 Days Left To Live

I thought about this question countless times. While i was trying to list all that i plan to do within the 3 days, i asked myself, "why wait til there's only 3 days for me to live and do all the things I've been meaning to do with little time?" That's too much of a time constrain. I'd rather live my life as if it's the last 3 days of my life, then.

Here's a list of what i will do:

-build a charity asylum for the needy, sick and aged
-compose a song about my life





-travel the entire country
-visit switzerland
-revisit amsterdam, vienna and norway




-learn to speak at least three different languages (make it 5)
-write my mom's life story
-create a website from which I can get funds for my charity activities (and I mean I'd create it myself without professional assistance)
-work as a psychologist
-work as a teacher and educate the out of school youth for free


-write books about people who inspired me
-write books about people who made my life less comfortable
-work as a philanthropist

and still a lot more...

Of course I can't do all these in 3 days. And what's the use of waiting when I can start doing them now?

Ok, 3 days. What can I do/accomplish in 3 days?
-organize a soup kitchen to different areas around the Philippines.
-reach out to people who have done me wrong and who I think I have hurt





-share my faith to people experiencing deep waters
-donate all my stuffs to the needy



-spend my remaining time on earth doing charity work
-live like a philanthropist

There are still more. I'll post them next time.
