- Travel to another continent! JAPAN*! BRITAIN! FRANCE! ITALY! SPAIN! :D
- Get and be happily married in my mid-20s :D... and have very good kids =X (is that asking too much? haha)
- Find an awesome job that'll keep me financially stable (Hm... I hope this one isn't extremely difficult. That would be sad...)
- Take a picture with a celebrity! I'll say Mitch counted =X
- Get a tattoo (I think I still want this... when the time comes I think I'll know)
- Road trip with boyfriend and close friends to nowhere in particular =] I think Disneyland counted =P
- Visit New York
- Visit the Newseum in Washington DC (YAAAY! :D)
- Bonfire with friends
- Have a caricature of myself drawn =]
- Attend a comic convention (the uber nerdiness ;])
- Throw a very successful surprise party
- Throw an awesome Super Bowl party despite my lack of interest in the actual sport
- Read Watchmen again... more carefully this time
- http://www.serendipity3.com/food.htm Try Tiffany
- Disneyland trip with close friends & cousins =]
- CRUISE! :]
25 before 25 list:
1. Attend a comic convention (preferably ComiCon in SD, in cute nerd gear or not)
2. Obtain a salaried, stable job post-Berkeley, pre-graduate school
3. Start on my MBA (ADVERTISING! =])
4. Throw and/or assist in throwing a successful surprise birthday party
5. Move out!
6. Travel outside North America (Europe or Japan, anyone?)
7. Fill out another 2-3 journals (To gauge the difficulty of this task, note that I've been keeping a journal since before 5th grade. My journals only go as far back as 5th grade, but I've torn and thrown out a lot of old pages. However, despite having kept various journals for more than half my life, I've only managed to fill 3 and am in the process of finishing up my 4th. I'd like to fill more journals with more happy instead of angry and depressing entries. Depending on how small in physical size my future journals are, I may increase my goal to filling 3-5 more journals before the age of 25. I better start writing everyday, huh?)
8. Throw a Super Bowl party
9. Break a bad habit (Mostly referring to peeling my lips and scabs on my face while reading or doing anything else where my hands are idle. It really is a bad habit and I always regret it after I do it.)
10. Make a new habit out of complimenting myself and at least one other person every single day
11. Get a caricature of myself drawn
12. Visit the Newseum in Washington, D.C. (Maybe on my next trip to Maryland?)
13. Visit New York, try the Tiffany at Serendipity 3, take the ferry out to the Statue of Liberty
14. Read The Watchmen again, but, this time, at my leisure so I'm able to appreciate it for the great piece of literature it is
15. Finally purge my room of ANY and ALL useless items (e.g. dolls, middle school and high school homework, clothes I never wear that are meant to be donated, books I've read that are meant to be donated)
16. Do something amazing for my parents' 25th anniversary (Eh? 25 before 25? 25th anniversary? Coincidence. I think not. Haha)
17. Learn the basics of HTML/CSS, etc.
18. Get back into piano. Learn a few new songs that I really enjoy. Maybe even learn to sing along while playing.
19. Start accumulating/organizing recipes in a physical book or binder for my future kitchen/home/life away from my parents (As my cousin says, "We're domesticating ourselves. We're so domesticated. I hate it.")
20. Brush up on my Vietnamese one way or another (i.e. Be able to have conversations in Vietnamese without throwing random English words in that my relatives clearly don't understand)
21. Learn how to style my own hair
22. Road trip to several different cities/locations for sightseeing and random fun with no particular destination
23. Start making prints of some of my photos and putting photo albums together
24. Learn how to use Microsoft Excel (Maybe take a class or something)
25. Take hip hop/dance classes, dance outside of DWX/Berkeley & improve
