40 before 40.
My sister’s prepared her 30 before 30 list, and this has inspired me to do my own 40 before 40. I won’t be turning 40 until 5 years from now. Doesn’t it seem like a good time to put a list together? I’ll have 5 years to complete it! I won’t have an excuse that I didn’t have enough time!
I only came up with one item: Visit New York. Right. That’s completely wishful thinking, but who knows? A lot of my friends have suggested things I put on the list. Produce a playmate for Timmy. Go bungee-jumping. Bake a pie. Sew a quilt. Go mountain-climbing. Lots more! I’m super thankful that they have gamely pitched such awesome ideas. I am now taking my time in sorting them and coming up with more. Man, 40 is a long list.
Oh wait, I have a second item: Drive. Then again getting behind the wheel terrifies me. Maybe I’ll park that first.

Do you have any suggestions for my 40 before 40 list? I’d love to hear from you!
Hmmm. Let’s see… To try to eat something you really hated/disliked ever since you were a child?

I loooooove goal lists! I have a 31 before 31 list myself (which is due December 2013), maybe you can get some ideas: http://deaguwapa.com/31-before-31/.

I love lists. But I get overwhelmed most of the times because what I usually write are completely hard to achieve at the moment. I only have 9 months before I turn 30 and I seriously have 3 things in my list that I absolutely must do. Like you, I still have to learn how to drive. If only driving is as easy as maneuvering a bump car, I’d be a professional now.

Catch the sunrise in Angkor Wat!! I highly recommend this Toni!!
I have a 40 before 40 list but… well, now I need to add to it to make my 50 before 50 list. (I have 5 years. Plenty of time. Right?)
One thing I wish I’d done before I turned 40: wear a fabulous evening gown to an all-out formal event. It sounds silly, but once that 40ish metabolism hit, I realized I’d never again look svelte in something so fancy. Plus, there’s the whole Cinderella factor: got to be home before midnight or the babysitter will turn into a pumpkin, and what happens to the kids then?!

thanks for the idea… you can include in your list to travel to at least one country for each continent…visit 7 countries
You guys are awesome!!!
Thanks a lot for the great ideas.
Cham: I’ve been racking my brain about this since I wasn’t very picky as a kid! Maybe I should put on my list something that I’ve always wanted to eat but haven’t bec. it’s in some faraway land. That’ll encourage me to travel too, if I can’t get that dish here in Manila!
Dea : Thank you for sharing your wonderful list! I loved how you ticked each off with the date when you completed it. Makes it look even more fulfilling. I’ll do the same thing on my future list!
Jam : Italian’s the plan; let’s see!
Gene : Hahaha that’s true. Btw I can’t ride a bike either so that’s another thing to put on my list!
Eli : Something to mull over! Thank you Eli!
Katie B. : Yes, 5 years is plenty of time.
Dressing up really fancy sounds absolutely fascinating. And a lot of work. Hahaha, but that is something I’ll think about for sure!
Mitchteryosa : I’m sure they’re convinced na. Hehe!
itjcs : Wow! That’s ambitious but hey it can be done. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice idea, yeah that will be a long list.may I add one, try bungee jumping
I’d love to add that on my list.
Driving is freedom. I hope you consider it.
