10 years from now...

Sorry for thinking so ahead. I just got inspired (again) by Ms. Daphne Oseña-Paez. She turned 40 today, happy, happy birthday to her! She's 40 but she doesn't look like one, she looks so pretty and fab, she's so accomplished as a wife/mother, as a career woman, as a UNICEF ambassadress and as a person in totality. I really admire her, I would like to atleast in some ways be able to feel fulfilled and accomplished when I myself turn 40.

Now that I am 30 and I still have 10 years to work on things, to achieve my goals, and to make my plans materialize, I would like to have a list of the things that I hope to have and to achieve 10 years from now. I always believe that it is better to write what you want in life, it serves as a constant reminder, you can always check where you are and see if you are bit by bit reaching your target.

On or before 40, I hope that..

* my husband and I already have our very own home-sweet-home ;)

* I am the best mom to atleast two healthy, kind-hearted and God-fearing kids ;)

* my husband and I are active and serving members of Couples for Christ or other organization with the same mission

* I have gone(with husband, family and friends) to atleast 5 best places(beaches) in the Philippines, 5 countries in Asia, atleast 2 countries in Europe ;)

* I am debt-free ;)

* I am already level 7 at work ;)

* I know how to drive and I am already driving my own car (atleast to and from work) ;)

* I have a "personal, untouched and not-to-touched(until retirement:))" savings of atleast P500,000 (so that's atleast P50,000 a year)

* I have started investing on mutual funds (and stocks)

* I am giving 10% of my take home income to charity institutions (like World Vision, UNICEF, etc.)

* I know how to cook a variety of food and to bake cakes/pastries for my husband and kids ;)

* I have studied and finished a course on Gender and/or Environment (focus on Climate Change)

* I can speak atleast 1 more foreign language (Spanish most probably)

* I have atleast 1 LV bag, 1 LV wallet and a Little Miss Marc Bag ;)

* I have a leica camera with brown leather case

Well, I'm done with my list, I will check this from time to time for focus and guidance. By the grace of God, may all these come true. May His will be done!
