I got the idea to create this page from this blog. This is a list of the things I want to do in life before it’s over. I know that this list may sound more like a wish list than an actual list of things to do. But hey, what’s the use of dreaming when we’re only thinking of the usual things? I must mention some things that I have achieved just to remind myself. I will update this list from time to time, and feel free to leave me a link to your list so we can compare for new ideas!
