Eat at the Red Sea Star Underwater Restaurant, Bar, and Observatory

 The Red Sea Star Underwater Restaurant, Bar, and Observatory I actually found while researching pictures of another undersea restaurant in Ithaa. The one in Ithaa was pretty plain, really small (it only seated 14 at a time! >:o), and it was super expensive($120-$250 per plate! D:<). This restaurant has much better architecture, its very lively and animated inside, and its A LOT bigger. Besides that, I don't even know where Ithaa is, this place is off the coast of India, and that gives me an excuse to travel  to the Taj Mahal, then visit Agnihotra and Sushant before I go home.

According to: http://www.okeanosgroup.com/blog/author/admin/page/5/ Every feature in the restaurant resembles some sort of aquatic creature or coral, such as jellyfish stools, sea urchin lights, and starfish lamps. While the Ithaa screams “expensive,” the Red Sea Star shouts “fun!” That already sounds 10 times better than Ithaa. I looked at the picture of the outside though, and wondered how exactly it worked.. like, Was it brought up daily like the Ithaa one? or was it left there? So the website said:  "...and then descending 5 meters beneath the surface of the water. In the restaurant, thick plexiglass separates diners from the rest of the ocean as soon-to-be appetizers swim by the windows." So it has the same view basically, prettier inside, less expensive food, and there's actual room to socialize; I'm so glad i found this restaurant instead!

Order something off of Jamba Juice's secret menu

                                        
Close to Christnmas in 2011, i went to Universal Studios with my cousin, her cousin Michael, and Michael's friend who's name i cant remember. Anyways, his friend got kind of claustophobic while we were waiting for something, and we had to get him to that little area on the side where they checked to see if he was okay.  hile my cousin Shirley, Michael and i were waiting for Michael's friend, Michael brought up something about a secret  enu. Shirley and i looked at him like O_o He started explaining about how Jamba Juice has this secret menu of unhealthy things that were like amazing. We still kindas didnt believe him; so when we got home, we looked it up. We found out there really WAS a secret menu! And to this day i've said i would order from it, but i always forget, so i have to remember next time i go.

Finish Mickey's Masterpiece and get another pin from the Disney Soda Fountain

               
A couple years ago for my friend's birthday, we went down Hollywood Blvd. to go to an ice cream place. We went to the Disney Soda Fountain. Our hair was the frizziest thing ever, and we looked pretty weird, but we all decided to stay there to have our ice cream. We chose the Mickey's Masterpiece, so every one of us (8 people) got a scoop. We got one of every flavor they had. No one liked peppermint, yet we accidentally got it anyways. We decided to stir the ice cream into ice cream soup to finish it faster, so we could get the pin. WORST. IDEA. EVER.  No one liked peppermint, and it was now mixed in with the rest of the ice cream, we ended up making the biggest mess ever, but we finished it and got the pins. Since then, i've been wanting to go back there, yet it never seems to work out. For Xiomara's 15 we almost ended up there, but the limodriver didn't listen -.- so we didn't go. So now im determined to go back and get another pin!

Live Like You're Dying

       This song completely covers the topic of seizing the day, or "living like your dying." By saying: We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to Turn it all around or to throw it all away, it is making the point that there's too little time to waste.  There's no time to waste, therefore every moment should be lived to the fullest. People should take the time everyday to "turn it around," or make things right in other words. There's limited time to see people, be with people, and enjoy them, so might as well not spend the time arguing or fighting or something.  The song mentions how we don't say I love you enough, I do agree with that, but i'm not so sure that's something I'd miss too much.

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

How come we don't say I love you enough

Till it's too late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come

And we could make a feast from these crumbs

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun

So if your life flashed before you,

What would you wish you would've done

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbye

Should be so careful who we let fall outta our lives

So when we long for absolution,

There'll no one on the line, yeah

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing till it's gone

You never see a crash till it's head on

Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong

You never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah, we gotta start

Looking at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got and we gotta start thinking

If every second counts on a clock that's ticking

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying..

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86,400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell them that we love them

While we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying..

Go to a masquerade ball

I've wanted to go to a masquerade ball for the longest time now. I can't quite remember when or the exact reason why, but its been a while. Well, now i might finally have the chance to go! :D According to the announcements in the morning, V.I.S.A.'s having a Spring Formal, a MASQUERADE BALL Spring Formal! Now i just have to go back to Placita Olver a and get that mask i wanted.. my aunt did say she'd buy it for me if i had somewhere to go..

Visit one of the people I met at the Expo in China

This past summer, going to the 2012 Shanghai International Youth Science & Technology Expo, I met many new friends from a lot of different countries. There were other Americans there too, but people from Australia, China of course, England, Finland, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and Singapore also attended. Out of all these people i got to talk to, and hang out with, the reality is that i'll really won't keep in touch with all of them. There are few i still talk to, so one day i'd like to go see them in their own countries.

Stay in the Burj Al Arab Hotel

This the world's ONLY seven-star hotel; the exact reason i'd like to stay there someday. Its the fourth tallest hotel in the world. I only found out about this hotel when i was stuck while making my list. I googled "bucket list ideas" and clicked on one of the first links there. It was the page with 225 bucket list ideas that i found this hotel. Seeing the architecture, and the view that it had interested me to read about it, and when i read the little caption under it, i totally wanted to go. 

Ride a Ferris Wheel

This is the view from the top of the Sky Tower at Six Flags.

Going on a Ferris wheel is on my list so i can face the fear of height that i have. I've tried rollercoasters, and although they are kind of fun, its not something I'd voluntarily do again. Just on that elevator ride in  the Sky Tower was bad enough. By about 175ft up, i couldnt even look down anymore. Most of the time i cant even handle looking over the rail in a three-story building, much less one 38-stories high.

Learn how to play the violin as a fiddle

Bad Bob Rohan; famous Texan Fiddler

               

Last year, I took Beginning Orchestra and played the violin. I liked the instrument, and the music we played, but I wanted to use it not only as a violin, but a fiddle. Same instrument, different sound. I knew how to play classical, but i wanted to see the otherside to that instrument. Country music with a fiddle sounds really fun to play, hard and fast, but fun. I'm not saying i want to play it like that forever, just like a song or two.

100 Years -- by Five for Fighting

Everytime this song plays I always think of just being young. By saying "I'm fifteen for a moment" it really symbolizes that life goes by too fast. After getting to 99, then dying, he goes back to say that 15 is really tht best you can have. Having your youth is everything, having time to waste, spending it on anything you please. Being fifteen myself, I personally really like the song and what it's saying; dont grow up to fast, and seize the moment.

I'm fifteen for a moment

Caught in between ten and twenty

And I'm just dreaming

Counting the ways to where you are 

I'm twenty two for a moment

She feels better than ever

And we're on fire

Making our way back from Mars 

Fifteen there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to lose

Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got hundred years to live 

I'm thirty three for a moment

Still the man, but you see I'm of age

A kid on the way

A family on my mind 

I'm forty five for a moment

The sea is high

And I'm heading into a crisis

Chasing the years of my life 

Fifteen there's still time for you

Time to buy, time to lose yourself

Within a morning star 

Fifteen I'm all right with you

Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got hundred years to live 

Half time goes by

Suddenly you're wise

Another blink of an eye

Sixty seven is gone

The sun is getting high

We're moving on

I'm ninety nine for a moment

Dying for just another moment

And I'm just dreaming

Counting the ways to where you are 

Fifteen there's still time for you

Twenty two I feel her too

Thirty three you're on your way

Every day's a new day 

Fifteen there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to choose

Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this 

When you only got hundred years to live

Spend New Years Eve in Times Square

Every New Year's Eve i spend at a relative's house at a party either here in California, or Arizona. We always ended up watching the countdown from Times Square on tv. It always looked awesome being there and seeing the ball drop. New York is so busy, light up, and lively. Instead of being the person watching on tv, I want to be the person in the middle of the crowd counting down live.

Solve a Rubick's Cube

                                                  

The most difficult toy EVER! I have never been able to solve these things ever since i was i little. Theres a couple people i know that can solve it, and i find it extremely frustrating that i've tried so many times, and cant get it. Will Smith i've seen do it twice, on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Pursuit of Happyness. He did it in less that a minute, so thats my goal, and if that doesnt happen, than just finishing it would be fine with me.

Go to the Nicholas Flamel's old house in France

          

Nicholas Flamel was a small character in the first Harry Potter book. He was the one who invented the Socerer's Stone and was like 600+ years old. Well I didn't know he had a book series about himself, up until one day browsing around the book section at Target. They say "don't judge a book by it's cover" but that's pretty much the only way i choose them. I was interested by the cover, so i picked it up and saw Nicholas Flamel on the cover, in shock kind of. I read the back and it was pretty interesting, so i bought it, and the 2nd book as well. Two of the best books i have ever read, actually. Well at the end of the book, it shares authors inspiration for writing the book, and little facts about the true characters. It says that Nicholas Flamel's house is one of the oldest buildings in France, its been converted to a restaurant at 51 Rue de Montmorency. Thats where Michael Scott was when he wrote the second book, so i really want to go see it for myself one day, and maybe when we go to Paris in March, i could go..

Go to all 6 DisneyWorld parks

 

 When I was 9, I went to Miami, Florida. While I was there, they surprised me with a trip to Orlando as well, to go to DisneyWorld. Disneyland here, is just one big park plus California Adventure, enough for a day. DisneyWORLD though, is 3 times the size. There's four land parks, AND two water ones. The day I went, I was only given the chance to go to the regular parks. I of course, wanted to see the water ones, especially Typhoon Lagoon, where Hanna Montana had recently performed. Of course, I was overjoyed already with just being there, but I was still a bit disappointed that I didn't see ALL of DisneyWorld. So since then, I've wanted to go back and see the other 2 parks.

Throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain

This one started when I was 5 or 6. That was the year The Lizzie McGuire Movie came out. Theres a part when Lizzie and her best friend Gordo, along with the rest of the class, visit the Trevi Fountain and make a wish to find adventure while in Rome. My 5 year old self was totally amazed by the fountain, it was so pretty, and ever since that movie, I've loved Italy. Then there was also the legend, that if you throw a coin into the Trevi, turned around, throwing the coin with your right hand, over your left shoulder,  it'll ensure a return to Rome. Everyone has thrown a coin into a fountain at the mall or something, but Italy? Thats something unlikely, that I'd love to try.

                           

The Seven Wonders of the World

These places are some I've always wanted to see. I think it all started in about 4th grade when my teacher said he had been to three out of the seven. He showed us pictures, in front of the coliseum and other places. I was amazed at what he'd seen. I didn't know what the other four were, so i had to google it. XD
After searching Wikipedia, I found out what they were. All 7 would be: The Coliseum, in Italy; The Great Wall of China; The Great Pyramids of Giza, in Egypt; The Taj Mahal, in India; Christ the Redeemer, in Brazil; Chichenitza, in Mexico; Machu Picchu, in Peru; and Petra, in Jordan.
