I know it looks like I've abandoned this blog by not posting for more than a month. I haven't. I still intend to do my list ... but maybe a little different from what I originally wrote.
You see, things took quite a turn and I am being steered to a different direction. It's not bad actually, just "unplanned". Not updating here really makes me feel bad and guilty but I have a good reason for it. Something that I'm not yet ready to announce. I will eventually but for now, let me make some changes and hopefully I would be able to actually achieve my goals.
My 35 Things
1. Skydiving --
so near, yet so far. I might not be able to do this in the next few years. Maybe in my 40 before 40 list?
2. Bungee jumping --
not in the near future.
3. Scuba Dive in Palau --
I checked with my bestfriend and she's actually in the Philippines right now, not in Palau. So, I will have to move this when she goes back.
4. Conquer Mt. Pulag --
As much as I want to to do this when I go home in August, I physically won't be able to.
5. Pyramids, Pharaohs and Luxor aka Visit Egypt --
Well, considering the situation in the Middle East right now, I don't think traveling there would be a good idea.
6. Go to France --
I think I'll skip the traveling altogether.
7. Visit 3 Continents
8. Achieve my ideal weight --
I still intend to do this but I won't be concentrating on the losing weight part for now.

Will try to do this before 35.

35. COMING SOON =)
As you can see, traveling and serious activities might be put on hold. It's because of my current condition. I will be having regular check ups and my blood sugar and pressure will have to be monitored. I just want to be healthy so I can live life to the fullest!
Because a lot of stuff might not happen, I'll post a revised list soon. Promise.
