Goosebumps.

I did my spring cleaning last weekend in preparation for the long holiday. While I was looking for pictures to be framed, I came across this file. I cannot remember when I wrote it but I am sure I did not write it in one sitting. It is my wish list as a struggling yuppie!

I am guessing it is item number sixteen that prompted me to write something like this. Whatever the reason may be, I am quite amazed that somehow, the stars aligned for me to accomplish most of it.

-------------------------------
My Wish List:

1. Earn my first million.
2. Climb one of the highest mountains in the country.
3. Find a career that I will enjoy and will not feel like “work.”
4. Start a family early and keep up with my kids in their teen years.
5. Own a home.
6. Drive a car.
7. Support my brother’s high school education.
8. Visit at least ten beaches in the country.
9. Help send a scholar to Ateneo as my way of paying forward.
10. Reach a manager position.
11. Set foot in another Asian country.
12. Buy my first life insurance.
13. Earn at least P50,000 per month.
14. Do not get into debts more than P20,000 anymore.
15. Visit Palawan --- lonely planet style!
16. Adopt a 5-year marketing financial plan in my life.
17. Invest on a decent backpacking gear and set.
18. Spend two more years teaching students from public school to complete 10 years of apostolate.

20. Have a decent wedding when I marry.
21. Extend support to my parents.

Maybe it is the ripe time to post my other list...
