I'm turning 25 this year. Whaa?

While searching for reviews for a new Filipino restaurant in the East Village, I came across this woman's blog about accomplishing 30 things before she turns 30 (in a little over a year). So, since I am turning 25 at the end of this year (dun dun DUN!), I decided to make a 25 before 25 list.

It took more than a day because 1) my funds are limited and 2) it's less than a year away- holy crap!

I really didn't want to blog about it because frankly, I've gotten tired of the internet, but my boyfriend Dean thought it was important to document it, even if in a notebook/pen-on-paper form. So because it has been years since I've written a coherent sentence on an actual piece of paper, here goes my attempt at blogging.

And here is my 25 before 25 list:
1. Get a freelance article published in a print publication.
2. Go indoor rock climbing.
3. Relearn how to speak, read and write Spanish.
4. Take trapeze lessons.
5. Run a 5K in under 30 minutes.
6. Write a book pitch.
7. Kayak in NYC.
8. Try Bikram yoga.
9. Attend an industry happy hour/networking event.
10.Take a self-defense class.
11. Leg press twice my weight.
12. Swim a complete lap without stopping.
13. Go to winetasting/vineyard.
14. Relearn to read and write Tagalog.
15. Go to a shooting range.
16. Gamble at a casino.
17. Spa day.
18. Visit all major museums in NYC.
19. Learn CPR.
20. Sit in the audience of a TV show.
21. Take a dance class.
22. Donate blood.
23. Cook a Filipino meal well.
24. Take a boxing class.
25. Join and be active in a Filipino-American organization.

If you'd like to join me in any one of these activities, please let me know :)

Now your turn: What would you put on your 30 before 30, 25 before 25, or general bucket list?
