2014. Marks another regular year. But not this time. Enthralling. Let's have it that way. And in so doing that, I am making myself face an onerous challenge to accomplish this foolishness I am branding as The 30-Firsts Project.
I have lined up things in my vivid imagination but my eureka moments are not handy these days. So, I'm gonna need your help. Throw me anything you want me to do or not do, make, go, have. Whatever. From the simple things to highly impossible ones. Who knows. Let's see what will make it into my firsts. And I'd be glad to share it with you when I have successfully achieved it.
Oh, and I sure do have my own simple ways of extending my gratitude. A little compliment.
You can send your suggestions to my Facebook account - Wonders and Wanders or email to lady.thierry@gmail.com.
Thank you, thank you. Countin' on you.

And here's what I got so far.... I divided it between Planned and Unplanned (took place instantaneously as part of my daily life and/or travel).
PLANNED:
1. Solo dayhike - I'm looking at Batulao or Mt Pico. Take note, it should be SOLO, by myself (ok, with a guide, for safety reasons)
2. Ride our very own PNR trains - it's intriguingly interesting even when they were still dilapidated. Now that they were renewed and some new units are operating, It makes me want it more.
3. A formal driving class - The 1st driving 'class' i had was with Pops when I was 8 on a motorcycle, and we went straight to banana trees. I am confident with 2 wheels but not that much on 4.
4. Some piano lessons - Actually, I can settle with getting the instrument and learn by my own. That's how I did with guitar. I remember I borrowed a friend's electronic Organ and figured out Five for Fighting's Superman.
5. Surf, surf, surf! - Who doesn't want? It's like walking on the ocean with a glide.
6. Cook Paella - Yum!
7. A Para-sail selfie - Let's see how this will look like. I had a nice snorkel-selfie few months back.
8. Outdoor rock climb/rappel - I did indoor. Nothing beats the natural feel.
9. Buy Lottery ticket...everyday, for a month - hoping to be instant millionaire so I can travel the world.
10. Cliff-diving - Hmmm, it's been on my list ever since I learned about Ariel's Point in Boracay. And for the several times I visited the island, I always miss it.
11. No pork or red meat in one month - A big test for me. No, don't take away rice, puhleease. That would be suicide to deprive me of both.
UNPLANNED:
12. Negative temperature - Oh yeah, not just negative but freezing -30 degrees celcius! Ice and snow fun. I also had my first swoosh on an ice-sculpted slide.
