Things I've done in my life at least once X)

Howdy folks?

I was browsing my facebook news feed when I saw a link with the headline "12 Things Everyone Should Do Alone At Least Once". I thought to myself, "Well, this looks interesting", then I clicked on that link, read the article, and somehow I found myself smiling while reading it.

After I finished reading the article I thought, "well, why not share the things that I've done alone based on that link?". So, here you go, I 'll tell you my own experience of doing things by myself. Enjoy!! <(' v ')>

1. Go out to eat
   I live in an area where most of the residents are university students, so of course there are lots of eating places or small restaurants (not literally restaurant). Most of the time I go out eating by myself. How do I feel? Well, not strange at all, probably because I'm quite a loner. Sometimes I go out eating with my brother or my best friend(s), well, it depends on my mood of the moment. It's a different story if I'm out in the mall, and again, it depends on whether I go to the mall by myself or with my friend(s). Overall, it's not that bad if you're eating alone, in fact, I think it's kind of cool.
   
   
2. Travel
   Once, I took an evening travel schedule to Bandung. I've promised one of my best friend there that I would visit her. To tell you the truth, it was a last minute decision that I made. I planned to do it some other time, but if she hadn't messaged/called me that day, I would have never gone there and she would have been angry to me (I was a bit scared of her too <(>,<;)>). At that time, I packed the things I needed to bring with me in a hurry, but fortunately I packed well. I was thinking about running away from reality back then because of my personal problems I had. Other reasons were I needed a break after I finished my final term test and relaxation before I started my thesis months. I arrived in Bandung at midnight and she picked me up and we went back to her place.
   In Bandung, it was pretty cold and chilly. I took a bath in the next morning and the water was ice cold. Morning times in Bandung was really nice, the air was fresh and cool, unlike in Jakarta. What did I do when I was in Bandung? My best friend took me to some nice places. I met my childhood friend and we had an amazing day to catch up with life. I did a lot of shopping too, hence by the end of the month I almost went broke, but somehow I still survived (didn't realize I typed in the sentence that my guy friend always say XD). I felt the freedom of doing whatever I want. I was with my girl too and we had plenty girls day/night out. She introduced me to some of Bandung's culinary that I could not find in Jakarta and it was all delicious. That time, I really enjoyed myself in such a foreign place and in some way I learned to love myself more.
   
   
   
3. See a movie
   I love movies, but never mention horror movies in front of my face. I love watching movies, whether it is in my own personal computer or in theaters. There's a time I watched a movie in a theater by myself. I wanted to watch Man of Steel so bad that time, so I went to the theater and bought the ticket. I picked the schedule and saw that there were plenty of empty seats. I saw one row of seats where no one had reserved any seats yet. I thought it was my lucky day that I chose the best seat for myself and I got the ticket. Finally, it was the show time. The first 10-15 minutes was amazing when suddenly a man came to my row and sat on my left. What's worse, he smelled really weird!! It was the weirdest perfume I've ever smelled in my whole life. Shortly afterwards, a single mom came with two of her children and sat on my right, and I thought I wouldn't enjoy the show the way I wanted and it was going to be a long movie. I couldn't concentrate on the movie because of the annoying brats who just couldn't STFU and the weird smelling dude. I prayed that dude would GTFO (move himself) to other seats but he didn't move an inch!! It was one of the worse day I had. I had times when I could enjoy a movie by myself. To tell you the truth, I prefer to watch movies in my personal computer although I have to wait for some time until I can download the movies from the internet. Conclusion? You can enjoy watching a movie by yourself in a theater, just don't expect everything will be fine. It's better if you have your friend come along with you. It's your choice, folks.
   
   
4. Hit the mall
   I've done this ever since I came to Jakarta to continue my study. It's the thing that I always do to kill my time. It is such a joy and happiness to be on your own, visiting some stores, trying on some clothes, strolling around, eating a nice meal, and many more. Nothing is in my way, just follow my own instinct to wherever place I want to go and do whatever things I want to do in a mall. I'm just being a girl that I want to be.
   I'm not always by myself whenever I go to a mall. Sometimes I go with my best friend(s), whether it is just the two of us or in a small group. Most of the time in a mall, I will go eat in my favorite restaurant and enjoy my meal alone. There is a certain freedom and confidence that I feel whenever I go to a mall alone. To me, I enjoy both going by myself and having friends to go there.
   
   
   
5. Exercise
   I never go to a gym, not that I don't like it, it's a waste of money. I just don't want to waste my money for gym because I won't go to the gym routinely. Sometimes I wish I had more money to register to a certain fitness center. However, exercising doesn't need to cost some money, it can be done in free. Just go browse YouTube or download some exercise videos that you can find. I found a YouTube channel and in that channel it contained lots of different exercises for your body. I really enjoy cardio exercises because in such a short time I can sweat a lot. What's better, nobody watches me because I do my exercises in my own room. It benefits me on my health too, even better I don't have to spend my money at all.

That's about it, folks.Those are the things that I've done alone in my life. What about yours? Can you mention other things that you have to do alone at least once in life?
