50 before 25
Before anything else, I’m glad that the blog is finally back. It’s the first time I’ve exceeded my monthly bandwidth so I was a bit clueless on what to do. Also, since my blog was down for 5 days, I’m extending the deadline of my contest until the end of this week. Because of that I’m also delayed on a few posts, but this is sort of an obligatory entry for today so I’ll get back to regular programming tomorrow.
Today I turn 24! Wala lang. Di naman talaga big deal sa akin, but I decided to set some new goals for myself before I turn 25 next year. I’ve been a little down the past 2 months because I felt like I had no specific direction in my life. So now I’m taking control of my life again and have written a few things that I must accomplish for my 24th year.
I want to have at least 50 goals but it’s hard to think of ideas so I’m leaving it open and will fill it up as the year goes by.
- First things first, get a passport!
- Beat theme park phobia and go to Enchanted Kingdom.
- Conquer Mt. Pinatubo
- Climb Mt. Pulag and see the bed of clouds
- Subic Treetop Adventure
- Go to La Union and visit Mall
- Coron, Palawan
- Visit Vigan and the Meztizo District
- Travel to Cebu in time for the Sinulog Festival
- Go zorbing in Davao
- Visit the BenCab Museum in Baguio
- Go to the Avilon Zoo in Rizal
- Participate in an Outreach
- Organize an Outreach/Party for Christmas
- Binondo food trip and Soup #5!
- Join a build for Habitat for Humanity
- Take part in a cosplay event and dress up
- Eat in one of those expensive buffets (Spirals, Circles, or Heat)
- Become an active INKie
- Participate in a fun run for a cause
- Buy a Wacom Intuos 4 pen tablet
- Purchase a Panasonic Lumix camera
- Invest on a Macbook Pro
- Start and finish a Project 365 of character designs
- Design a WordPress Theme
- Be part of a group exhibit
- Have a solo exhibit
- Create a new comic strip series
- Finish 2 mini-graphic novels and a children’s storybook
- Design a tattoo and get it done on me
- Paint on a skateboard deck
- Get published in an international magazine
- Create a 5-minute 2d-animated short
- Bake a rainbow cake
- Learn how to cook Adobo and Beef Caldereta
- Exercise and get in shape.
- Ride the LRT, LRT2, and MRT from end to end
- Watch at least 100 movies
Well, so far, those are the only ones I can think of. Basically, I just want to experience more things and regain my appetite for life! Do you have any other cool suggestions? :D

Nice list. I noticed na mejo madami kang gustong i-conquer. Haha. Pero gusto ko ang Mt. Pulag and Coron, Palawan trip. Sama mo naman ako if ever. LOL.
Interesting bit about the t-shirt business. Me and a friend put up something like that last year and mejo na stuck na kami because wala kaming artist. Haha. How lame dba? Sayang ang capital.
Robbie
November 1, 2010
Sige ba sabihan kita sa mga trips. Kaya mag-ipon ipon ka na! Hahaha. Yung sa Mt. Pulag kelangan ko pa ng matinding physical preparation before I can conquer it. Hehehe.

I asked a friend, meron executive trail ang Mt. Pulag. Haha. 2 hours nasa peak ka na – the trail was created daw for photographers na ayaw mag hike. LOL. Wala lang. Just sharing.
Robbie

[...] years since it opened to the public and I still haven’t gone there but since it was a goal for my 50/25 project, I had to put on my brave face on. Besides, it annoys me every time someone says “Oh my God! You [...]

Hey Rob. I enjoyed reading your list of goals. It’s great to see a guy at your age with goals. Setting goals is the best way to get what you want in life. Wishing you great success to reach them all.
“Hazy goals, produce hazy results.”
One summer day, I was just hanging out in front of the town park and a wise old man said to me…”What are you doing?”
My reply: “nothing”
He then said: “Then how do you know when you are done?”
