YOLO ( You Only Live Once)

I'm seventeen years old. I know how to cook, but i don't really cook that well. It's not that I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth, it's just that I already settled for what was in front of me. Early this year, the term YOLO invaded the Tumblr and 9gag world with funny and sarcastic photos. YOLO means You Only Live Once. The term is a modern day definition of carpe diem, meaning seize the day. 

Somehow the term YOLO struck me. In a sense it made me realize what I've been missing out for a long time. I'm gonna be in the legal age soon and there are some things that I want to achieve yeat I haven't achieved yet. But the main question is WHEN? When will I start striving for it? When will I work my butt off to grab that opportunity?

I will only be seventeen once. I will never get to experience Sept.4,1995 again or repeat what has been done. I will only live once, so I will make my life worthwhile.

I've made a list of things that I need to achieve while I'm at this age. Aside from learning how to make the perfect Adobo or managing to be fit, what topped my list was being the best person that I could ever be. want to be the best person that I can be, in my very own way. By serving and giving back to other people who are in need, by giving time to my beloved family and friends, by giving my talent in a very useful way and by living my life for a great God.

What's on your list?

Skydiving? Pleasure trip with friends? Travel around the world? Kissing in the rain? Dancing on top of the Eiffel Tower? Getting a tattoo? Marrying the one you love? Seeing your first born?
