Something new for celebs in 2012
Life is too short to be kept boring. So why don’t you surprise yourself this 2012 and do something you’ve never done before? If you keep doing the same things over and over again, what’s the point of calling it a new year?
Make a change or be chained to your old ways. Sometimes it’s more exciting to be close to the danger zone than to be stuck in your comfort zone.
With that in mind, I asked some celebs what they want to do for the very first time this 2012. As pour moi, I will try to include unusual places in my travel plans this year and deviate from the routine tourist stuff.
Don’t let the Year of the Dragon just drag on. Live it up, explore new places and experience things beyond your wildest dreams. Delve into 2012 (head over heels).
