I looked back at my old blog posts, and it's mostly about love and relationships. It's mostly about fun things that I have been doing, places I've been travelling. Yummylicious things that I have been stuffing down my throat, and pretty restaurants I have visited. Sometimes, it's about my work and other ongoings...
I have always blogged about light hearted stuff because there was a part of me that did not want to have to answer to confrontational comments, (almost always) left by cowardly anonymous'es. I guess you could say, I tried to play it safe - not wanting to say hurtful things about anyone.
But I read my one of my sister's post about dying - and what would you do if you knew that you only had limited time left on earth?
I suppose the only thing I really want to do, is to have my family and loved one by my side. Yes, of course I would want to travel the world, bla bla bla... do fun things, yada yada yada. But at the end of the day, those will not be the moments that define me.
It was those sad moments, when I felt so low and thought that I couldn't go on, that made me a stronger person. That made me the person I am today. It was those bleak moments, where you were betrayed by your friends, that you truly see who your real friends are. It was those hideous moments in my life, moments that I am regretful for, that made me the better person that I am today. So yes, of course I want the pretty, but I am not ashamed to carry the uglies with me to the life beyond.
And back to the question of what would you do before you died?? I just want to spend some quality time with the few people who means the world to me. It doesn't really matter whether they want to do something super exciting, or nothing at all.
What about you??

Funny I didn't write that.
Maybe, perhaps, except for you, all my loved ones are near to me, in which, in this case, I'm lucky.
Of course, I've given up a fair bit in return. Just in a different way I reckon.
But perhaps more importantly, I do not wish to get all sentimental about my passing.
I wish for a peaceful death, with ppl dearest to me, send me away, one last time, smiling.
=)
Funny: You did write about dying, but not in my context, of course...
I'm not sentimental... am I? **in denial** kekekekekekeke....
