New Year's Resolution
Friday, December 30, 2011 @ 8:03 PM
So here it is. 2011 is almost coming to an end, and another year awaits for all of us. As I reflect back on all the events that have altogether compiled into one whole, bittersweet year, I can only hope that the following would be a smooth connecting bridge to all the goals and hopes that I have in my mind at this point of time. I have decided to make an official list this time, rather than just telling me in my head what the resolution would be...and then proceed to forget it after a few days. I hope that from this list, I will be more commited and steadied towards what I would like to accomplish this year, and maybe give others the motivation to write out their own New Year's Resolution list as well.Let's all make 2012 a year to remember.
My New Year's Resolution:
1) Learn how to play the guitar. Self-teaching didn't really seem to work for me so I guess taking up classes would have to be the option.
2) Spend less time on Social Networking sites, like the one we all know oh-so-well - FACEBOOK. I am determined to have higher standards for myself, especially towards my school performances.
3) Get at least 7 hours of sleep a day. I know it would not always be possible given the workload I get from school, but I think it would be an obtainable goal for the most part, given that I spend last time off-task.
4) Lose 5kg - in a healthy manner of course. Please don't judge me and assume that I am insecure about my body or weight. I am fine with how I am, but I know that losing some weight with exercise and eating healthier will also be of a benefit to me. :]
5) Get on the High Honor Roll 8] I am currently in the Honor Roll (and it's fine), but I guess I'm still with the idea of really having higher standards with my studies, and life in general.
6) Spend more time with my family, and especially visiting my father's side of the family more often than I usually would (I happen to already be quite close with my mom's side of the family since they live really near to our house and they would visit us really often as well).
7) Be a better role model for my sister. I know that at times when I become super frustrated, I blurt out things that I should not, and that would probably give my sister a bad impression on how to behave given she is still in her pre-teen years. She still has so much to learn, and I just need to be aware of when the right time would be for her to know what she needs to know, and when it wouldn't.be so appropriate.
8) Finish my Grade 7 exam for piano and pass it with flying colors. That is, I would need to organize myself to practice the piano for at least 30 minutes a day. It's a commitment and I must make myself commit to this.
9) Update my blog, Flickr and DeviantART at least once a week. That is, I would need to be motivated and find more things to do interesting things to do outside that are worth blogging or posting about. I will try my best to dedicate an amount of my weekend to accomplish this, hoping that I get the schoolwork aside first.
10) Limit my time spent of computer games. Kind of repetitive from my limiting Facebook goal, but just to ensure that I am committed towards acheiving the abundant of hardworking goals I have for myself.
Okay I have 10 now, but I guess to give it an satisfying finale I need something that is rather relevant to my blog. So, *drumroll please*

11) TAKE MORE PHOTOGRAPHS. This is my last and most important goal because what are memories if we do not have anything to look back on visually? (you may have different views...but that's okay) Back to my point, I already have a few travel plans and a photoshoot planned out, so I am hoping that I will become more consistent with that throughout the entire year and share them as much as I can on my blogs and other websites that I am currently active with. Be sure to stay tuned to that!
So now, what is YOUR New Year's Resolution?.
