32 Stitches to Happyness




February 5, 2012

I had an attempt to finish a 30 before 30 project last January 2011 but God has tweaked my course a lil bit and He made things more beautiful even if I weren't able to accomplish my project.

I got engaged. It changed my priorities and I have no regrets. Exactly 7 days from now i will be turning....30. *whew* I will do my best to accomplish 32 important  things ( and more) before I reach ( guess what..) 32! :) 

So now in two years time I wanna make a lot more difference. This is not a new idea; many people have done this already and succeeded. What went into my crazy mind? Nothing much, I just don’t want life to slip away,  die daydreaming what could have been, spit out words that remain a broken decree or even writing down things on my bucketlist and let the ink fades away.

ACTION! That’s the whole idea and so  let me break this down into two parts. My LONG TERM GOALS ( My ULTIMATE HAPPYNESS LIST - but this will be different post) and my SHORT-TERM ones which I will call 32 Stitches to Happyness
 I wanted to accomplish so much and I ended up doing less, so let’s begin with 32.  Im now putting matters in my hands :)

Hi Sweet,

background: I met you before at a wedding where you were hosting. You are great at what you do.

So with your 30 before 30 project, it is incredible for me to see a young woman who is pursuing her dreams relentlessly. As cheesy as it may be, you inspired me. To change a belief that growing up, is growing old -- and you prove that otherwise. :)

@Anonymous, Thanks dear.. i pry nothing but the best :) Enjoy life! ^_^

Chyng said...

hello sweet!

Im curious, did you make this list? I think Ive read a list somehow similar to this.. Or maybe there's so many similarities lang.. =)

A goal without a plan is just a wish!
So go and plan! Goodluck!

Blueberry Girl said...

@Chyng, yep I personally made the list based from things I really wanted to do before I reach 30 ^_^ but there are many inspirations in making the list like the ATM thing, I read it on a blog before when they shared that idea so I thought it would be great to do it here in the Phil, the talong - i never liked it hahaha, bingo - never really played it sa mall, date 30 guys - I never agreed on a blind date before, and so on and so forth hahaha... well there are some minor changes on the list but I really hope I will be able to finish it! *aja* Thanks Chyng and hope I can travel with you someday :)
