Ginormous List: 100+ Things

--
If it is not because of Karen of Chookooloonks, I wouldn't have been blogging about this.

I had second thoughts on writing down another to-do list. You see, there was this time when a dear friend and I decided to write down our plans for the next five years. That was on November of 2005. One more month and then comes our deadline. As it is turning out, only one of the things I wrote down is coming to reality. I can't help it but envy that friend of mine who is having a hell of fun in her job abroad. I felt like I couldn't bear setting a goal and eventually failing again in the end.

But I find myself doing it one more time. Karen helps me shake off my pessimistically inclined thoughts and is like a pat on my shoulder saying, "Give it a go." as I read and reread her advice on creating one's own life list.
It is not about always having big plans. Simple dreams are welcome such as having to taste blueberry yogurt. Satisfaction counts more than success.

Goal-setting is about adding moments of joy rather than adding moments of guilt.

It is more about recognizing and seizing opportunities and not about completing everything in the list.

Damn it!!! It is about having fun as one is going through life.

Hence, this list.

Not to mention, this is a challenging, inspiring and truly worthwhile centurial post! HURRAY!

Oooops. Obviously there aren't 100 things here. YET.

Coming up with 100 items shouldn't necessarily be done in one sitting. I just have to make a goal of coming up with 100 and there is no need to beat myself up if it doesn't happen right away -- also one of the Chookooloonks advice. That said, this post will be updated from time to time and you are very much welcome to go back and check it out. ^^,

As how Karen ended her post:

So! There you have it: all you need to go write your own life list. So go on -- grab a cup of your favourite beverage, a piece of paper (or notebook or journal or, hell, your blog), and get started.
Go inspire yourself.

LIFE, HERE I AM AND HERE I COME! Heaven knows what, how and when I'll be scratching things off this life list. Note to self: It is about having fun as one is going through life!!!!!!!!
