How about you? Do you have a bucket list?
I have! I’m keeping it in an Excel file inside my office desktop. It’s continuously updating because I can’t stop thinking of so many things I wanna do and accomplish. Time is our toughest enemy here. I might post my list on my blog, too, because you have just given me an idea. Haha. 🙂

Hi Roch,
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I remember, I also did a bucket list but my notes are buried somewhere. Hehehehe.. Need to get back to them and probably replace those that has been crossed out already.
I want to get a tattoo myself but I’m not sure if I’m ready yet.
In my bucket list, I wrote, bald my hair as a fashion statement. Hehehe..
It is actually exciting to write down a bucket list as it gives us something to look forward to in the future. 🙂
Great list. I like it. 🙂
Some time ago I made my own list but it isn’t so large. I think I’ll make once more and publish it too. But some things from those list i have realized. It passed only few months from I did it.
this is great!
Life enjoyed to the fullest
