The cake is in the oven now, so I decided to get a glass of wine and write a couple of lines.
First of all, let me repeat how great this year was... I need to say it once more: it was great, thanks.
happy me at the age of 3 in my grandparents' awesome swimming pool |
Damn. 29 sounds like a scary number.
I am starting to realize that very soon I will have exactly 1 year to do all the things I wanted to do before turning 30:
- Learn Finnish
- Travel to India
- See the Aurora Borealis
- Go to a cooking school
- Buy a longboard and skate to work everyday
- Get over my fear of driving
- Go to the Gelato University
- Participate in some volunteer program
- Eat at a Michelin start restaurant
- Visit Southern Italy
- Stand up on a surf board for more than 10 seconds
- Finish my last painting
- Take a sommelier course
- Travel to Japan and/or New York
- Ride a pink bike
Well, I work best under pressure so let's make it happen, 365 days are a lot of days...
Let's try to cross off all the items on this list!
(except for the number 1... I'm sorry but I can already tell you that life is too short to learn Finnish)
Cake is ready, Barcelona lost the soccer game... and I still have a couple of minutes left before I become 29. I'm gonna start the countdown by listening to this song as loud as I can.
Sorry dear neighbors, this is the last time. I promise.
Tonight,
we are young
so let's set the world on fire
we can burn brighter
than the sun.
Don't worry about the pink bike ;) Big big kiss!
ReplyDeleteI came by your blog when googling alternative things to do in Rome! I fell in love with your blog, and your sense of humour and your illustrations! I too need to learn to get over my fear of driving, and I want to learn to speak either german or italian.
ReplyDeleteWell - happy birthday and thanks for the Rome tips!
Thanks dear Zoë! you made my day :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish you good luck in getting over the fear of driving and learning Italian (I tried to learn German for a year... your life will be happier if you go for the Italian, trust me.)
Have fun in Rome and let me give you one extra tip because you seem so nice: Remember to eat lots of ice-cream! here are some of my favorite gelaterias:
