Checking on my Checklist for 2012

the last time i checked on my wishlist was on May 2012. i guess i got busy with my 30 Things in 30 Days before 30 list that i forgot to update my supposed yearly checking.

and now that we are on the 1st day of a new year, i think the update would be timely.

so here's the last list i had.. let's see if i did good this year...

hmmmmm.....

  • soul-searching even for a week or two  (isa lang ang masasabi ko, magastos akong mag-emote! ubosan ng yaman ang peg. LOL. Cebu-Dumaguete on 2009, Cebu on 2011, Iloilo on 2012)
  • experience the thrill of sky-diving/ parasailing
  • go to CAMSUR and do wake-boarding (did wake-boarding at Deca though)
  • reach the top of Mt. Apo
  • play with dolphins in SUBIC.  ( had the chance to go to Subic with patty,mac and gary.. i haven't played with the dolphins but still i can consider it done, that's for going to Subic and watching the dolphin show..)
  • have my own license in diving
  • go to PALAWAN
  • swim with jellyfishes in PALAU and eat at Rainbow Grill

  • work abroad
  • drive my own car (the bigger the better.lol.) actually i'm into pick-ups but i do want to have a Super Grandia and a mini cooper too.. extremes ayt?!

    overall, 2012 has been a good year when we talk about my wishlist. i have travelled a lot, and did  a lot.... sky diving, paraw sailing, colored my hair, got braced, drive in the roads of Boracay, went diving again,  had my student's license, got bwaxed a number of times... and had a lot of alone time here and outside the city...  quite liberating in a sense. i will have a separate entry on what happened to my 2012 next time... but for now, i'd like to make my TARGET LIST for 2013...
