2012 resolutions

hello world, we meet again. so i've been thinking, since i don't even realize i have resolutions right after i make resolutions which in return make me not keep my resolutions, why do i keep making them then? and the answer that i came up with was that no matter what people keep saying, about how you don't need resolutions and all to go on with your life, i find it comforting that i actually have something to stick to, although as i've said in my sentence above i don't even remember having them. and here's my list:

•study my ass off regardless when exam time is - which translates to everyday, if possible

•maintain my sanity although ryan's my class teacher, and although there are possibilities of being taunted over and over again

•do the best i can in STPM; i don't wanna disappoint anyone again. preferably with a 4 pointer but i know that's kinda impossible

•keep my cool at all times

•be more religious

•spend less time going online (this is gonna be real hard)

•have a more positive outlook of things, like be happy and move on with life

well, i guess that's just about it, we will have to wait for exactly a year from now on to see how i fare. given that we are all still alive by then.

new year's resolution 2011

okay folks, let's see how i did in keeping up with my resolutions. this has somehow become a tradition for me, well, look at my previous posts. here we go.

○ never regret my decision to go to USA

there was absolutely no regrets, but things could have been better. like, i would have enjoyed being hosted in la or some big city like new york but oh well, if i did, i probably would not have met all the amazing people i met in georgia. but at the same time, i do feel a tinge of regret for getting myself involved in a relationship which resulted in me being dumped. well i'm not gonna lie; it was amazing while it lasted, and i'd rather regret the things that i have done rather than things i did not do.

○ accept my SPM results with an open heart

when i found out my spm results from my mom after staying up all night waiting for the phone call, i was devastated cos i got a for my bible knowledge. oh well, i guess i probably don't have a brain built for a theologian. and it was also the day when lauren found out her nonna died, so yeah it wasn't fun. and after enrolling myself in form six only i realize how insignificant the form 5 cert is.

○ i should stop getting so pissed off over small matters

well, i did not stick to this one, because i got pissed off over small matters really easily especially when someone was there to care about me. i don't even know what was wrong with me but hopefully, i get to keep this resolution next year given that i don't forget about it.

○ be more responsible

oh yes, you bet i was. i did my own laundry, i was a fine role model for my two younger host sisters, most importantly i adhered to the three golden rule of afs - no drinking, no driving and no hitchhiking. plus, i was the best exchange student for apalachee high school! that's gotta be something to brag about!

○ stop procrastinating

hmm.. i think i fared pretty well the first half of the year but then it got progressively worse until i was back in square one toward the end of the year. which means i need to buck up!
