I go by Christine. To some I am Chris or Stine. I am not a Christy, Chrissy, Christina, or any other derivative that comes out of Christine. To my students I am Ms. Christine. To others I am Ate, Unni, or Noona. To one man, I am Babe, Love, or Cake. I am a Wannabe. I want to be a writer, a teacher, a globetrotter, a businesswoman, a mom (eventually), a foodie, a designer, a planner. I love Disney, Google, infomercials,and the number 3. For everything else, read on...

+ Visit each of the seven wonders in the next 7 years
+ Learn another language… something beautiful like Italian. It could help when we visit the Colosseum in Rome
+ Design and build my own house.
There were many points in my life where my self-esteem was rock bottom. It could have been the pressure I put on myself in school. It could have been the failing relationships. It could have been my self image. It could have been myself not living up to the expectations I had. But now, at the “ripe” age of 27 I think I can say with confidence I love myself and I love my life regardless of how close or how far I am from where I thought I would be. I have done many things thus far that I probably could not imagine myself doing even a decade ago; among those things I did and didn’t do, there are only a few things I could honestly say I regret. Here is to hoping I feel the same way 10, 20, 30 years from now. Here is where I start my bucket list…
+ Visit all 50 states
+ Write and publish a book
+ Find religion
Who says you have to be “old” to have a bucket list :P Life is too short.
