What to do this vacation

Or should I say what I'm doing this vacation

Okay -- perhaps you're wondering why it's still my vacation and that I should have been sleeping now instead of blabbering on this blog. LOL.  To tell you the truth, yes, vacation mode is still on and no -- I still sleep late even if I have classes. HAHA. It's because my school shifted its academic calendar to August - May in line of the ASEAN Integration. So much of that, let me share to you what I've done so far since I'm still in the no homework lifestyle.

Note: I've written all of these in my to-do-list this vacation and to be honest, I haven't been consistent in doing all of them.


1.) READ BOOKS
So far, I've read two books this past month (I know it's slow). Namely: To All the Boys I've Loved Before (Yes, I know its gay) and its sequel P.S. I Still Love You (That's why I'm into using PS in my previous posts if you noticed) both authored by Jenny Han. Those two books are really fun to read. In fact, I find them cute in a way that the storyline is so simple but still hooking. Believe me, I shouldn't have finished reading it if it isn't good.
Currently, I started reading the Harry Potter Series which I plan to finish before school starts.(I skipped reading Veronika Decides to Die because there has been a problem in my e-book but hopefully I can finish it as well)

2.) DIET (SPECIFICALLY, LESS RICE)
Cross that out.

3.) EXERCISE 2X A DAY
That, I failed. Still, I'm trying and proud to say that I don't let the week end without bursting that fat.(I do random dancing, push-ups, curl-ups, sit-ups etc.)

4.)   LEARN MORE IN PHOTOSHOP AND VIDEO EDITING APPS
I know the basics but I still want to know more. And to have something to brag about this list, this one, is being done well. (I’m now good in fontsy type of editing)

5.)  LEARN MANDARI 
Ni hao ma? "Wo hen hao, ni ne?"
That's some of the mandarin phrases I've learned so far through watching tutorials on Youtube. Yes, it's effective and FREE.
I want to learn Mandarin because it's the most used language in the world right now and I guess it can help in my career someday. Also, they say it's one of the most challenging languages to learn and that's why I chose it to be my third tongue. If there's a term like that -- because I love challenges!

6.) STUDY FOR YOUR FUTURE SUBJECTS
No..This one is something that's impossible to do. May the Lord grant me the strength to face accounting again. LOL. On the serious note, this one is the one we should prioritize more. Really, we need to use our time wisely and preparing for the upcoming war (school) would be the best way be productive.

 7.) BE AMBIDEXTROUS
I'm a left-handed person and living in a right-handed dominated world is hard for me because I have to deal with right-handed stuffs all the time. It's the reason why I want to learn using my right hand in writing and doing other things.
Also, they say that it also improves your motor skills and the brain itself because it makes it work more. You know -- the right and left hemisphere thing connection with our hands?


Life is a continuous process of learning and that, being far from school, should never be a reason to stop doing so. That's why I try my best to acquire new skills while I'm still not busy with school works. Plus, you don't need to enroll yourself on workshops and all because there's so many things you can learn on the internet!

And there you go -- the things that composed my to-do-list this vacay! Hope you got some ideas that you can use in making your own to-do-list if you're still on the vacation mode.
