Another List of New Year's Resolution

In a few hours we'll once again welcome a new year and before we said goodbye to 2006 I've listed down my new year's resolution. I hope I can really make them work this time.


Here's the thing with new year's resolution, every new year we welcome the notion of having a marvelous year and a fresh start that's why we listed down all the things that we wanted to change, especially on ourselves, to be a better person... but in the middle, sometimes not even close, we go back to our old ways. We usually get tired because change is not an easy thing to deal with in the first place. To most people,including me, new year's resolutions doesn't work because we are looking at the bigger picture and not on the little details that make it.

The following are my new year's resolution:

1. Be Organized.

I wanted to have everything in place. It freaks me out that most of the time I'm taking forever just to find stuff on my closet or drawer.

2. Go to Church Every Sunday.

I need to have my faith in check. I must nourish my soul and make up for all of the shortcomings that I've had this year.

3. Get Fit.

Tame the bulge in my tummy, meaning.... more crunches. I wanted to have my old weight back.. to be fit so that when I'm strolling the mall or running chores, as if I'm doing chores, I will not get easily exhausted.

4. Save. Save... and Save

These holidays.., all the parties that I've gone to and all the spendings leave me penniless. I need to save right away or else I'll drain my bank account. I don't want that to happen and besides we must always plan and save for the future.

5. Learn Something New

I wanted something new... to do away with computers and the cyber zone. I'm planning of taking piano lessons after graduation.

Okay, all have been said. Let's see how far I can go this time. I only listed five to keep it simple... to easily check if I'm being faithful with these resolutions. I don't want it to be another broken pledge.

Random Tests

Last night, while waiting for my files to be downloaded from my mail, I took several tests from Blogthings. At first I intend to only have a couple of tests but I really had a good time answering questions and before I know it... I took almost all of the tests in blogthing. And besides, I'm really fond of taking tests... tests that will later on reveal something about yourself like the ones I took in Kokology, a book of self-discovery. I don't know how accurate the results were but most of the time, I agree to what it says about me.

The following were the results of my blogthing tests. I put comments on some of the results.

Earth??! Me?? I think I'm more of an air than earth. First and foremost, I'm not that focused. I can easily divert my attention and my passion to almost anything. I'm not organize either... I tried but why does it have to be so hard?! And more importantly... I'm idealistic but unpredictable most of the time.

Recalling Christmas Memories

Christmas is the time for peace, spreading love, and sharing. It's the perfect time to celebrate with your family, friends, and loved ones. I must say that Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I usually got excited when the ber-months come because they mean that Christmas is fast approaching but this year it's different. I don't know if it's because we're busy with school stuff and all or if it's the effect of growing up or should I say "getting old". Aside from the scourging heat, I really can't feel Christmas that much. If it weren't because of parties and gifts and santa hats, I wouldn't know its Christmas already! Okay, so this Christmas is not that too exciting for me but let me recall my past Christmas memories that I'm truly fond of and worth holding on to:

When I was a kid and my Nanay is still alive, she gave me a Barbie doll. I can't remember how old I was then but all I can say is that I was really sad because my parents were away and my grandma gave me the doll and put a smile on my face. It was my very first Barbie.



Way back in kindergarten during our Christmas party, the class was divided into several groups that will perform. Our group was assigned to dance in the tune of "I Was Dying Inside To Hold You," I don’t know if it was the title of the song. I was hesitant to do it since I was a shy girl. I've always been timid. Anyway, I even considered not attending our party for that matter but my grandma urged me and she bribed me with this cute little dress that I wore during the party. She told me that the girls in our class will envy me when they saw me in that cute little dress. So I went to the party and danced. It was my first performance ever!

This happened when I was seven years old, I went out with friends of the neighboring houses in the province to sing Christmas carols. It was my first time and I was really excited. The first night we had 60 something pesos but we were really happy then because during that time 60 pesos is quite a big amount for kids like me. Haha!

During our CAT Christmas Party my first boyfriend gave me a lovely bracelet. We were not together then and I was hesitant to accept his gift since I really don't usually accept gifts coming from a suitor. I spoke with his best friend about giving back the gift but he told me that his friend had a hard time looking for a perfect gift and it'll be rude on my part not to accept it. It's not the gift at all. I was genuinely touched by his efforts.
