Item Number 3: Learn to speak Italiano

ITALY! The land of pizzas and pastas and romance and gelato and culture and the list will go on and on...

I just love the way Italians speak italian. It puts a smile on my face just thinking of it! I don't want to learn from those listening-and-repeating books, nor take a class here in Kuwait, or self-learn online. Item number 3 on my bucket list is, to put it more precisely, to learn to speak italian (not necessarily read and write), from a handsome Italian gentlemen, in Italy. Gotta be that exactly. And preferably while eating pizza :)

This is how I feel whenever I think of Italy:

Item Number 2: Paraglide/Parasail/Para-anything-that-gets-me-up-in-the-air

I've lived a good portion of my life next to a paragliding school (literally next door!). It has always been a dream of mine to experience that feeling of dangling in mid-air without the horrifying notion of jumping of a plane or a cliff (that's why parachuting/sky diving will never be on my list). My mom is the obstacle here, she hated the idea of having her child's life in the fate of a few strings and a few meters of fabric. It took me around 5 years of research and pleading, cuz no amount of science could really convince her. She finally gave up :)

Status: Pending. Will be checked off the list in the very near future.

Status Update: CHECK!! Typed with the biggest smile on my face! Nothing I have ever experienced in my life has been as satisfying as paragliding. There are really no words I can think of to describe the feeling! I loved it so much that I'm trying to paraglide on regular bases.

I'll leave you with this:

Item Number 1: Create a blog

Status: CHECK! Well partially check. It's create and maintain a blog. We'll see how it goes in a couple of months!

Welcome to my Bucket List. Bucket List, for those of you who don't know what it is, is basically defined as list of things to do before you die. This concept was made famous by the movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman of the same name. I loved the concept so much that I was inspired to create my very own list of things that I wanted to do, but soon found out that a traditional list did not do the trick. I needed something more visual, something that constantly reminded me of my life-long goals. And so this blog was born...

I will be updating each entry as an item on my checklist and revisiting the ones that have been accomplished. Hope you enjoy it.
