OK. So I’m already 29 — a little over 6 months to go and I’ll be 30! I’m normally apathetic to my age: I didn’t stop counting at 22; I don’t lie when people ask me how old I am; and I don’t freak out when I think about my biological clock. I am, however, excited about really living passionately and pushing myself to the limit while I can (i.e. while I am single with no one to be responsible for but myself)! That’s why I have been traveling, really pursuing surfing (and possibly triathlons!), and getting my photography projects done.
Inspired by Celine Novenario’s The 30 Before 30 Project, I decided to make my own list. I made a pretty conservative list given my time limit, and it will still be a huge challenge to get everything done. I actually started this list last March 2011, although without the integrity of following through. It’s only today that I am sharing it.

hello! Just found your blog via your shop… ;) followed you on twitter. To visit Sagada is on my list, too. ?
Hmm, having been working for the City Government makes me feel like I’ve been doing charity work. LOL I haven’t seen any of those Listography books anymore. Last time was a year ago (or two years ago) in Fully Booked Rockwell.
I should also do #26.
I think I must make a list of things I must do too. “Must” meaning achievable yet I just slack off too often for them to achieve them right away. I won’t deny the fact that emotions can get in my way. ~_~
What is your dream tattoo, btw?
Love the list! I made a 30 before 30 list when I was 28 (in fact it is what made me start my blog, to track my progress). Well I’m 31 and still working on the dang thing. I realized it wasn’t about the time frame as much as doing the things I wanted to do in life and having them written down helped with that!
I was too chicken to put #30 on my list even though I really wanted to! Good thing though because I haven’t even managed to cross off the one romantic thing I had on my list- kiss in the rain.
Good luck with your list!! You can do it!!
