The Poetics of an Odd (wo) Man out

Over lunch yesterday, Jerz asked us to list our “imaginary lives.” Here are some of lives I want to try:

• Archaeologist


• Baker


• Barista


• Book Author


• Chef


• Choir member sa UST singers


• Cooking show host


• Diver


• DJ


• Dulos worker


• Exchange student in Spain or Italy


• Feminist na mala-Spivak


• Florist


• Gymnast


• Interior designer


• Interpreter/translator sa Ms. Universe


• Linguist


• Marine biologist


• Mathematician (bobo kasi ako sa Math)


• Museum worker


• Painter


• Photographer ng nature


• Pilot


• Potter


• Pre-school teacher


• Professor


• Roti mum or any coffee and bookshop owner


• Singer na may kasamang sikat na banda


• Swimmer


• Theater actress


• Tindera sa palengke


• Tourist guide


• Travel show host


• Travel/food writer


• Volunteer sa isang malayong place


• WWE Wrestler


• Yung nagwork sa may submarine


• Zoo keeper

According to her, all these imaginary lives are attainable and it’s not too late to give it a shot. She also said that it’s important to listen to these even though it may sound silly, because these will tell us what we really want to achieve and do in our life.
