I posted this exactly 2 years ago. Reprinting in its entirety (but I crossed out the ones I consider done, new comments in this color). And all I can say is, TIME WARP!

_____________________________________

Actually, I made a to-do-before-30 list around 4 years ago. Sadly, not much progress.. Got too caught up with a lot of other things along the way... but i'm still not giving up on this list..

1. learn how to swim – I love the ocean, but after a couple of near-drown incidents, I gave up on swimming… but, now I want to give it another shot.. i want to be the next jesebelle.. hehehe
2. learn to drive M/T – I've not mastered the art of driving a stick-shift.. paet! I can never borrow my sisters' cars because of this… specially now when i have to send my car to repair.. i have not commuted since forever.. and ayoko! :)
3. learn how to dive – uhm, i shud start with #1 first
4.learn how to cook – hmm.. this is kinda so-so.. I've managed to learn how to cook sinigang and adobo.. in my book this counts as knowing how to cook.. hahahaha…
5.learn CPR/First Aid – I'm certified now.. yipey!

2/5 in 4 years is almost discouraging but heck, I've also done things not in my list, like skydiving, bungee jumping, and some things that are not so PG … hahaha…j/k

well, as my countdown to 30 continues, I decided to create 30 simple things I can manage to do in less than 30 days.. silly things, things I've never done before, things I've not done in a long time.. and so on..
1. ride the MRT for the 1st time
2. take the jeepney (just to Rockwell lang, kay init na ra ba.. hehe)
3. finally have the guts to go through my Oregon stuff, put away the boxes and the memories along with them…
4. do not be late for work for one whole week
5. let my inner rocker out in the incubus concert.. kesehodang SRO.. i have to get over my claustrophobia to get through this one alive and happy =)
6. cut down on non-work related internet time to one hour per day (but i think the addiction is back now)
7. no soda for 3 consecutive days
8. take my vitamins regularly (believe me this is such a chore for me..)
9. enroll in the gym (i didn't say actually GO to the gym, hahaha!)
10. never have a 1.5 for my accounting class assignments ever again!
