I’ve created my 101 list and all thanks go to you!! =D
this is interesting. i put datelines for work projects but never on my own life. something to look forward to
Hi Adia, yeah it’s good to give your life a little impetus with a list like this. Do drop a comment again when you’ve completed the list so I can credit my item #96.
Why?
Marcky, Tiramisu at Alexis is a MUST try!!!
Actually I tried it already
It’s different!
#89 is so totally not worth the money. Seriously! And hey, you’ve got to cross off some on that list. White water rafting and musical done, no?
#89 was conceptualized before the food apparently took a turn for the worse. Rafting done, not yet updated.
Musical which I watched was before this Day Zero project and the one in this list refers to my desire to watch one more. Prerequisite being, I need to find someone worth going with. Those things don’t come cheap!
I went for My Fair Lady. Absolutely fantastic. Sponsored by BAT lol. #89 was bad even when it first started. I should start a list. You reached your 10/10 yet?
10/10 of people to do this? I didn’t check up on all, so not yet.
This list would act as a sort of “forced” impetus, pretty good (if you keep revisiting the list to check up on yourself).
I went for Beauty and the Beast. Classic and very entertaining. Back then I was earning half of current income so it really took a big bite outta me.
Ah well. Worth it anyway methinks!
I’m a new reader here. I want to thank you for two things ;
1) inpiring me to get back on my own personal blog and write again. Ive drained my writing energy recently and reading your blog certainly lifted up my mood to type again.
2) day zero project is definitely a good creative idea. I want to have my list too and I’ll look forward when I get to cross the last item on that list.;)
So I’m in. Will be listing my day zero project soon.
Thanks again.;)
Hi Aidil, welcome to the site! I’m glad to have another new reader, and even more excited that I’ve managed to give you not one but two inspirations at once!
Do post your link in the comments for your day zero once you’re done, I’m sure the other readers will be interested to read as well.
There’s little attention on this list right now but once I update the progress in my blog, I expect it to get a little more attention
Good idea to set a deadline!! Now I should start my list too..
That’s great! Hope you will return to post your link in the comments section once you’ve got it up!
Hi,
Just stopped by your blog coz I was searching for the Prosperity Burger. Lolz. You captured the whole point of the Burger very well. I like reading your blog. Very nice and refreshing style.
I like your Day Zero Project. How far have you crossed off? Reminds me of the movie, The Bucket List.
Hope each post you have are just as interesting as the others.
Thank you! I hope you keep coming back for more new (and old) reads. I’ve crossed off a few more but have not updated the list here yet.
Maybe you might wanna consider a list as well?
