30 Before 30: Things I Want to Try Before Turning 30

Few years ago, I bumped onto this blog that has a “30 Before 30” page. I found it interesting but at the same time, I was really wondering why people do list of things they want to do before turning 30 years old. I did not have any idea by then. I just thought to myself, “Probably, they’re too old…”, “Probably, they’re already thirty…”, “Probably, they’re already 28 or 29.”

That time, I cannot relate. I never saw myself coming up with a list or simply because, I never saw myself getting old, literally. That time, I thought that I really don’t have to think about it yet since I was just 23 by then. Yes, I was too young by then…

Now, I think I should create one to remind myself of what I wanna do, what I wish for, or just… well, whatever. I just really want to do a rundown, anyways. In no particular order, here’s mine:

1. Visit Angkor Wat
2. Take Akiki Trail to Mt. Pulag Summit
3. Climb Mt. Apo
4. Try Bungee Jumping
5. Prepare a Christmas Party for Lolos and Lolas
6. Take a Cooking Class
7. Go to Japan. 🙂
8. Swim with sharks/whales
9. Take a picture with Mickey Mouse
10. Buy my own surfboard
11. Stay in Baler for 1 week to surf, surf, and surf. 🙂
12. Try Cliff Diving.
13. Get a US Visa.
14. Revisit Calaguas Island.
15. Learn how to use chopsticks.
