Let us get on the bandwagon and make resolutions for the new year, why don't we?
Lose weight
Okay, this year I will not be specific. I still want to lose 30 lbs but if I lose just 10, it'd be perfectly fine. But I do wish I could lose more than that kakarampot 2 lbs I lost last year.
Better time management
And this is where spending too much on the internet would fall under. Meaning, I shouldn't be spending too much time tumblring or researching about other people on facebook (aka stalking), ha! Time must be spent on productive tasks that would earn me big bucks ;-) And also this is where being more hands on with the business belongs. It follows, actually. If I spend less time online, I will have enough time to do stuff pertinent to businesses.
Develop a daily morning routine
Last 2010, I was able to make myself wake up at 7am everyday, whether or not I have something to do that early. That's already early for someone who works from home and compared to 2009's 9am wake-up alarm. But this 2011, I want to follow a strict routine upon waking up and not spend too much time lying on my bed, awake and thinking about stuff in general.
Be more open to new things
I'm a creature of habit and deviation from my routine usually agitates me. I'm one who isn't open to changes, much more to sudden ones. I stick to what is familiar. I like my life and what's happening with and in it (which, btw, is not much but I am contented) but this 2011 I feel I'm in the mood for something new. I'm almost 30 and I think it's high time I try something out of my usual.
Be more patient and kind
I think one can be patient in two ways- one is when it comes to waiting, time-wise, and second is patience towards other people. I can wait for hours. I was trained to wait haha. But my patience is tried when it comes to teaching others how to do stuff or when I'm asked to repeat something more than twice, basta something to that effect. Ergo, I snap at people quite easily. I noticed that I became more hostile when this business started. With employees like mine, can you blame me? Well, that's the challenge for me- to keep my cool at all times.
To look clean and polished all the time
Not for anything (or anyone) else but for myself. In Templar's
The Rules of Life,
Rule #26 is Dress like today is important. They say you'll never know who you'll meet that day- it could be the president, y'know ;-) And another one from Nina Garcia,
there are no ugly women, only lazy ones. This year, my pegs are Rachel Bilson and Olivia Palermo.
Learn to make cupcakes
I like making cute stuff and cupcakes are no exceptions
Get a lovelife, for crying out loud
Well, I kind of came into terms with this aspect of my life already. Kung dumating okay lang, kung hindi okay lang din. I wouldn't be searching every nook and cranny of the globe just to find somebody to marry, like my life depended on it. But this year, I claim YOU. Sabi nga nila, it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
Avoid negastars (energy black holes) and avoid being one
I am consciously trying to always look into the brighter side of things and so far, it's working. Sometimes lang talaga, things are screwed up on their own that no amount of optimism can make it look good. On times like these my mantra is always THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Works everytime ;-) Shut negastars out. Not permanently, though. Only when they're being dementors and are sucking the good vibes out of me. On the other hand, I will also try not to be someone else's wet blanket. Ika nga, walang basagan ng trip.
Read more books
Will stick to two books per month. For the past years, this is included in my resolutions and although I haven't been really hitting my target, I'm okay with my numbers but it wouldn't hurt to target up, right?
Watch 100 movies this 2011 aka The 100 Movies Project 2011 ed.
Didn't hit last year's target so I will try again this year.
That's it. Not final yet but it's a start. I will try my very best to stick to this list. Excuse me while I make my life even more amazing this 2011 ☺
