Living in Korea has inspired me to face my fears, try new things, and rediscover what I really enjoy in life. I've decided to set a 2014 bucket list, and hopefully by this time next year, I will be able to say I've accomplished every item. Some of these are extremely CORNY, and you'll probably think I'm crazy for adding them to the list, but who cares?! If you want to join me in some of these, LET ME KNOW! The more the merrier! Here we go(in no particular order):
My aunt used to take me on BART, and we'd walk by the guy playing the saxophone and selling knockoff A's hats...A's GAMES!!!! I grew up in and around Oakland, and I used to love love Warriors & A's games. My dad and I went to a couple of games at the Oracle, back when it was the Coliseum, and it was the best moment, even if he was schooling me on how to perfect being a point-guard ;-). I stopped attending professional sports events, and lost touch with my love of athleticism, and basketball/baseball in general.
#1: Get to at least ONE A's game, and ONE Warrior's game
Bonus: If ya didn't know, I used to have the BIGGEST crush on Kobe Bryant, and if I could get tickets to STAPLE Center...I'm there.

#2 Keeping with the theme of sports; I've never been to an NFL game! Or a college football game :-(. That is happening.
Ok, So, my siblings and I used to DOMINATE (off-screen of course) in Wheel of Fortune. If I could attend a taping or tryout out for the sister/family version, that would be awesome!
#3: Attend a taping of a game show.
Bonus: Actually get to be on a game show.

#4: Drive to another state. No, I'm not talking Las Vegas, or Reno. I mean like, Oregon, or New Mexico, or Arizona. It's a little strange that I've been to two different countries, yet haven't even visited most of the United States. 2014 will be the year of travel. Preferrably Oregon, so I can see Niketown USA.
#5: Visit one NEW country. Ideally in the Eastern World(China or the Philippines) , but I'll settle for Jamaica, Brazil, or Canada
#6: Try Crossfit; at least once. It's challenging, it's fun, it's something new.
It's no secret that I appreciate athleticism, fitness, exercise, etc. Crossfit just naturally falls within that category.

#7. Complete a 5k and a 10k. I used to be a runner. I still enjoy it. I've never entered a public race though. *insert shock face emoticon.*
#8: Go skiing/snowboarding. I am SCARED to DEATH of breaking a limb! But, it must be done.
#9: Attend at least ONE concert. Music lights up every area of the brain...Does this really need explanation?
#10. Attend a professional opera and or play/musical in San Francisco. This is just something I've wanted to do for a while. Music, acting, and entertainment <3.
#11: Try new cuisine from 5 different countries. Food brings people together. You learn so much about a person's culture by their food.
#12: Go to DisneyLand. Never Been. Don't judge. I will go. It's not like my parents could afford to take all seven/eight kids when I was younger, so we never went. I think I may just end up signing up for a half-marathon for free entry ;-).
#13: Go to a film festival in California. I went to my first film festival in Busan, Korea, and fell in love! I can' wait to see what local and international film directors have to offer.
#14: Coffee dates at least every other weekend. Friends and family are the most important things in life. Nothing like a cup of Starbucks and good chats to complete the week.
