#30Before30

It's been a while since I made a list of things I wanted to do and I've been meaning to do this - thirty things to do before turning thirty. There's something special about turning 30 - entering a new era, welcoming a new decade. Well, it's pretty much like when I was entering my 20's when I was a teen but this time, I'm more matured and probably wiser. I hope so.

It's a list composed of random things. Some things I know I can accomplish but there are also some things that are kind of impossible to pursue within the next ten months. But I wrote it down anyway. So let's see what happens. *wink wink*

1. Travel solo
2. Gain new friends
3. Grow hair past my shoulders - ✓
• Having wavy (sometimes frizzy) hair, I always put my hair in a pony tail but I decided to have it straightened/rebonded. And viola, it has become super straight and smooth and of course, a bit longer. It's length was literally past my shoulders. However, it only lasted for 10 days. I had it trimmed since I'm really not used to having long hair and it's summer right now. But then again, at least I was able to give it a try.
