One of my goals in life is to visit every continent by age 30. Unfortunately, I'm falling behind. Here is my progress so far:
Age 0 - North America
Age 16 - Europe
Age 25 - Asia
With less than 2 years left before my deadline, I have 4 more continents to go:
Africa
Antarctica
Australia
South America
Here is the schedule I have in mind:
Dec 2008 - South America and Antarctica
Sept 2009 - Africa
February 2010 - Australia

In the next 12 months, at least 3 of my friends are going abroad to participate in philanthropy projects. First is my buddy Mina who is currently in Nine Mile, Jamaica, the birthplace of Bob Marley. In association with Schools Without Borders, he's helping the staff and students at Stepney All Ages School catch up with the 21st century digital world. Being an avid film maker, Mina is also documenting his experience in a film and blogging whenever Internet connectivity exists.
The Project Nine Mile blog provides an interesting perspective on their progress and Mina's flickr stream is full of expressive photographs.
If their pictures and words move you, show them your support!

World of Warcrack
2008 is almost half over, where did it go?
Feb 2008 - Mimming gave me WoW for Valentine's Day as a gag gift, but it turned out to be a big mistake on his part.
March 2008 - WoW
April 2008 - WoW
May 2008 - got plane tickets to Tokyo to force myself to stop playing WoW.
June 2008 - Back from Japan. No WoW. Leveling my tailoring and jewelcrafting skills in real life. My trip to Japan has been totally inspiring, to say the least. Plus, I have to make my costume for Blizzcon!

I should write a book on how to save money in real life by playing video games. In the months I've started playing WoW, I've cut my credit card bills by 90-95% because I no longer spend time figuring out how to squander my savings in real life. Games are a surprisingly cheap diversion.

Chinese people have started introducing me to their kids as "Auntie Winona".
I have never thought of myself as being an "auntie". The word elicits images of grey permed hair, cardigans, eye glass chains on bifocals and false teeth. *shudders at the thought*
Since when did I transition from being a "jeh-jeh" (older sister) to "auntie"?
