Hello, Hive! :)
As we are nearing the end of the 1st month of 2024, I will be sharing to you my final bucket list for this year.
It has been a tradition for some people to make a New Year's resolution. While it is very unlikely for some (like me) to be able to follow their New Year's resolution, I have decided that for 2024 I will be listing down the specific goals I have in mind and my New Year resolution is to follow what is listed below. 😂
Kidding aside here is...
HYGEIA'S 2024 BUCKET LIST!

1. Go To The Beach Alone.
Maravilla Beach, Tabuelan
Beaches have always been one of my favorite places. The vast sea of waters, the cold breeze of the wind, and the sound of the waves sound music to my ears. Not only does it bring peace within me but it also makes me think and reflect well.
Somewhere in Bogo City
I get so excited about beach trips as I grew up in the countryside. However, I have always gone on trips with my family or friends. Although I still do enjoy having company, I have always imagined how nice it would be to try and go alone and even spend the night there. So for 2024, I would like to go on a beach trip alone and enjoy the sea that calms me.
Also, one of my dreams is to build a house by the beach. I could just imagine how awesome it would be to wake up with the sound of the waves and go on a walk on the shores during the golden hour. At night, I can also build a campfire and enjoy the breeze. Whenever I felt troubled or sad, I would just go out and sit there and I would feel better.
What a dream.
But I'm still young and I have so much ahead of me so for now, I would like a free trial first. 🤪
2. Get A Passport.
Ever since I turned 18, I have had this sudden urge to have "adult things". This includes IDs, passports, credit cards, etc. The first thing I even did the day after my birthday was verify my GCash account. 😅 I have watched a TikTok video that said it is better to get a passport when you are still a student because it is less hassle and it is very useful. So in 2024, one of my goals is to get myself a passport.
And of course, travelling is one of my greatest dreams so I will take this as the first step in reaching that dream. <3
Dream Destinations
I am already planning to book an appointment once I am done saving up for the fee. My friends also want to get theirs too so we decided to book an appointment together but the days are being booked fast and I need to get some requirements too so I hope I will be able to do so. I'll make sure to update you guys once I get mine. ☺️
3. Learn How To Drive.
I was waiting to get picked up because all the buses were full.🥲
I was encouraged by my mother in the past to learn how to drive. However, I did not take it seriously then because I was scared and I didn't realize how helpful it would be for me in the future. Every time I go somewhere, I always have my papa, lolo, or brother to drive for me. If I needed to go early, then one of them would also need to wake up early to drive. This makes me guilty sometimes as I don't want to disturb other people.
For 2024, I would want to learn how to drive—both a motorcycle and a car. I just realized how important this skill is so I can drive myself anywhere. I would also like to get a driver's license in the future.
I also want to go on road trips in the future so driving skills are needed. 😅
4. Write more. Write better.

As you can notice, I am not consistent in blogging here on Hive. While it is also understandable because I've been busy with school, I won't deny that there are times wherein I have free time but I just don't feel like writing. I have thoughts of what to write but I really can't put it into words. I'm also really unmotivated because I think I am not getting better at writing. I even think I suck in writing now compared to the pre-pandemic years. With this, I have decided that 2024 will be the redemption of myself.
Books left untouched.
I also hope that I can get over my reading slump so that I can find inspiration to write. This will also help me write better and be motivated to write more. Hopefully, this will be of help so I can be more consistent in publishing my blogs here so that I'll be able to share my works with everyone.
5. Be happier.
The year 2023 has brought so much happiness to me. Though it had me crying and second-guessing my choices, I still consider this year as a year full of blessings and memories that I will truly keep forever.
While it is easy to wish other people happiness and say that we are happy, we all know for a fact that it is never easy to stay happy all the time and it's okay. We need sad days to appreciate the happy days more.
In 2023, I was happy. And I claim that in 2024, I will be a lot happier. This also include prayers of good health, safety, peace, and abundance for me and my family. I hope to let go of everything that scares me and keeps me from being truly happy. 2024 will be my year and I am claiming it!
This may be very late but I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2024! 💚
