So today I turned 30. While it would be great to look back and reflect on the past like things I have learned, I thought it would be better to dump all the things I look forward to as I reach this age. Someone told me I love lists. I guess I do. So here is the list of the things I hope to accomplish, try, or experience as I progress in my 30s. 15 lang, multiply na lang by two. 🙂
- Get my doctorate degree. Of course, that is on the top of the list.
- See BTS live and in the flesh. Breathe the same air they breathe.
- Have the courage to sing karaoke in front of colleagues.
- Travel alone (thank you, COVID, I was supposed to have my first solo travel on my 29th birthday).
- Skydive!
- Learn how to “mamalengke” (seriously, how are there different kinds of fish that look alike but some actually know their names).
- FINALLY learn a new language (kaya ba today?).
- Build an NGO or a foundation.
- Get invited to talk about my research (nerd).
- Learn how to draw.
- Play all the Super Mario games available.
- Try vlogging (hello guys welcome to my channel!).
- Teach a class in the graduate level.
- Write a book.
- Get over my phone call anxiety (unless your family, my boss, a close friend, please do not call me without prior notice. Huhu!).
