New Year's Resolutions - 2008

Pens up everybody, it's the time of the year where we all make resolutions, I never keep them but I do love making them and trying to keep them. It makes me feel that the year does not pass unnoticed.

I've bought my new diary, a light blue one, unlike a shiny red one that I dreamed about, I've bought new stickers to stick on, I am ready and good to go for 2008.

Now, Let's get creative:

1. Be healthy (aka wear an extra sweater, not placing dirty fingers in eyes)

2. Stop biting nails (combined with the above, not placing fingers in mouth)

3. Stop scratching forehead when studying (as in behaving my age)

4. Walking straight (no slouching)

5. Sitting straight (no backpains after the library)

6. Drinking more water (!- I mean in loo of hot/cold chocolate)

7. come to think of it- Less sweets

8. Lose 5 kg (I can't stress this point too strongly, there's a reason why the planner that used to be posted on the sidebar is off now-> achieve 55 kg goal and fast, no dinner or sweets in January)

9. Be more confident (truely confident, on the inside)

10. Be smarter (? - as in thinking before speaking and engaging into grown up conversations while circulating)

11. Read poetry (Whitman, Eliot and others)

12. Roast stuff

13. Learn how to make soups

14. Take more photographs of everyday events

15. Buy a small plant, take care of it, and help it survive well into 2009 (tough one)

16. Learn how to play some songs that I downloaded on the piano- or even better- all of them, let's not be modest...

17. Watch at least one desired film every week (- cinema, dvd, wherever...)

18. Accescorize (- even after February, unlike last year)

19. Make no excuses for the above

20. Always be well-groomed no matter what the occasion (even if I have slept for only 3 hours)

21. Keep playing tennis...

22. Play better tennis than now...

23. Kick that girl's but in tennis!

24. Buy nice clothes for tennis (meaning I deserve them if I'm rocking)

25. Keep in touch with the people I respect...

26. Stay away from people I dislike...

27. Stay close to the ones I love.

28. Be a better student, get higher grades, or at least try harder.

29. Don't get irritated over small stuff (especially small, petty people)...

30. Express anger when felt (don't keep it inside).

31. Travel (somewhere far away, like the North Pole or Panama)

32. Smile more...

33. Make regular appointments with tooth-doctor (so the above will be even prettier)

34. Learn stuff about different wines...

35. Taste different wines and learn to judge which is best and which one's better...

36. Learn stuff about liquid mixes for major wine-hang-overs (due to the excessive tasting mentioned above).

37. Take a few moments for myself each day...

38. Always do at least one thing that I like every day, even a small one (eg. listening to a nice song while dressing up)

39. Walk on the beach (at least once every fortnight).

40. Watch old movies in black and white.

41. Save money (Yeah like THAT's gonna happen)...

42. Spend above money wisely (yeah well duh!).

43. Spend more time with my friends, drinking coffee...

44. Spend more time with parents, talking about stuff...

45. Spend more time with my boyfriend, hanging out (...and finding new ways of playing poker).

46. Make hair longer...

47. Keep hair as blonde.

48. Be cool (not too stressed about running around between stuff)...

49. Be active (not just running around as if dragged)...

...and...

... 50. Be HAPPY!
