Have you a list of things you should do before you die that you haven't done yet? No matter what it is, just let me hear it. It's your right to have whatever hopes you want. I think I need to do alot more things before I die, the list is endless. I have to learn how to swim for one thing. The rest is just well too impossible I think, maybe I'll never get it all done. I'm already 49 so I'm probably too old for most things anymore anyways. People have done the things I should have done already while in their teens and twenties. Some of it is so embarassing, haha.

I started creating a bucket list when I was 13 or 14. I just listed ten things because I think I read about it at that time and they were just saying list 10 things so I listed ten. The things that I listed are: 1. To marry my ideal man who will love me as much as I love him. 2. To graduate from university. 3. To travel to Italy. 4. To join a culinary competition. 5. To sleep a whole night on the beach. Some of the other things are much more personal. From the five listed above, I have accomplished four except me marrying someone. The things is, I feel like as grow older (I am 21)there are more things that I want to do so I add more things to it.

If you sleep a whole night on the beach...well, at least bring a guy with you who could knock out anyone who messes with you.

Haha @AmbiePam. I totally have to steal your #1. I'd also love to marry someone that loves me equally. I'd also love for us to have things in common so that we would be able to do participate in activities and outings together. I imagine it would be lovely to sleep all night on the beach. I'd love to do that, but only if I was renting a house close by. The person who wanted to pet a flamingo was pretty interesting! I never ever thought about petting a flamingo. I do remember finding swans extremely beautiful when I was a child, so I really wanted to pet one. Another thing I'd like to do would be to volunteer at a petting zoo. I absolutely love animals. I wouldn't want to change my degree plan to zoology so that's why I'd try volunteering.

Its not with age Nailtech, you can do whatever you want as long as you pursue with it. :) As for me, there is just only one thing in my bucket list and that is to bring my parents out of the country for a vacation. Im planning to bring them to Rome which is the capital of Christianity. That is my way of thanking them for all the support and love they have given me. But i can only take them there if i got lots of money. :)

Forty-nine? You "sound" so much younger. On my bucket list is skydiving (which I plan to do soon), petting a flamingo, and getting to walk on hot coals.

I think bucket lists are really interesting. But for me, I don't think bucket list is applicable for me. Haha. Because there are just TOO MANY things that I want to do and experience before I die so I think it's impossible for me to list it all, it's endless.

I have read somewhere about this list "50 Things I Have to Do Before I Die" and so I try to make my own list every year. At the end of the year, I go back to that list and see what I can tick off and then make another list of 50 things (though in almost 5 years of doing so, there are times that I do not really complete 50. Examples of these things on my list hmmm... Learn a new language (this year, it's Korean, next year will be Japanese, etc.), Put up a business, buy a vacation house (or an island!) somewhere...etc. Some of the things in my list are things I can achieve, some, well... if I really work hard on it, sure.

Oh, I also have a lot on my list, and I bet some of those I can no longer do. Most of the items would have to wait till I'm a millionaire, and if that will never happen, then I'd just have to scratch them off my list. I want to go on a European tour. I want to visit different countries and places in that continent, especially Paris and Italy. It's our retirement plan for me and my husband. I also want to be able to run a stable business, perhaps on RTW clothing or food. I want to dye my hair, which ive never done before. And, a whole lot more.

Lol I'd like to hear what else would be on your bucket list. Learning how to swim is a good one. I don't feel so bad now being 24 and not knowing how to swim. All my friends always find it very hard to believe that I'm an adult and don't know how to swim. What's odd about it is that...I LOVE the water! I'm always getting in the pool just hanging out but I remember not to go too far in lol. I never go swimming at the lake or anything like that though....just community pools and stuff. As for my bucket list I'd like to visit a foreign country. Japan has always been #1 on my list but I'd like to visit the beautiful part of the country. Rural Japan not the section with all the lights and traffic. Like in the movie "The Last Samurai". Next I'd like an acoustic live performance of one of my favorite artists, or be able to spend all day with dolphins.
