wishlist update

last december 2004 i created a holiday wishlist just like what Ala Paredes did. She encouraged her friends/readers to do the same and I find it cute so, i did the same. Here's my 2004 holiday wishlist and its update:

:: a new personal computer - got one last January 2005

:: a digital camera - got one last 2004 holiday

:: personally-made holiday greeting cards from my friends - sad to say but i received texts, emails, and ecards only.

:: a phone call from a close friend abroad - got one from laszi but not during the holidays. it feels so good to hear from a friend that you haven't seen for quite a very long time.

:: a walk in the park with someone close talking about our dreams and our lives - with my hoseal =)

:: a set of oil paints - from DTI HRD training! thank you so much!

:: my sister be off-duty on Christmas and the New Year's Eve - she was but only on Christmas. Thanks still! =)

:: a trip to Enchanted Kingdom - WooHoo! not once but twice! first with family and relatives, second with hoseal and our friends!

:: a simple get-together/Christmas party with my elementary & high school friends - get together but only a few of us. but still, it's wonderful!

:: a quiet and peaceful day alone - impossible! =(

there! i have made one last december 2005. sayang!

new year...new resolutions

i do not make new year's resolutions. because i know that i do not have the determination to follow it. the last time i made a list was when my fourth year high school teacher required our class to make individual new year's resolution.

but this year i have set some new goals to follow. i thought that goals are important in pursuing my dream/s. without goals, i'd be lost just like last 2005.

so here is the list of my goals this year:

1. save at least Php2,000 per month. i have been working for more than 3 years already but i haven't saved a single cent eversince. i thought that it's about time for me to prepare for my future. (Almighty One, help me!)

2. Exercise/ stretch & jog every other day. I am determined to do this because summertime is just a few months away and i still have a lot of extra baggages in my body to lose.

3. apply for a passport. applying for migration or a job abroad would be easier if i have one.

4. paint at least once a week. don't wanna waste it. have to develop what i have.

5. visit a new place at least once a month. cultural immersion and new learnings to make me smart.

6. read at least one book per month.

7. remember birthdays and anniversaries. i am too stupid when it comes to remembering dates. i believe that friends and loved ones would feel their importance in my life if i would be able to (at least) greet them on their special day.

such a short list but i hope i can follow all of it. =)
