A new perspective in 2011 :)

I love new years because it gives me reasons to make a list of what I want to change without being questioned why :) Every year, I make a long list, some were accomplished and some were not (which I will still include in my new list. hehe) My 2010 had been crappy. Yeah, there were good experiences that I won't forget and which I am thankful for but the bad ones (fine, some are self inflicted but still) are just overwhelming that I almost lost myself in the process of dealing with them. I couldn't say that I'm close to being back to the old happy self that I once had but I know that I'm getting there :) I hate myself for hating things though BUT the good news is I'm not planning to bring the bad vibes with me this 2011. Yeah, you heard me right. I still have a month to meditate. LOL! (btw, I'm not trying to convince you skeptics. ;p)

Here's my list:

This 2011 and years after, I WILL:

• PRAY CONSISTENTLY (not only when in distress).
• FIND MYSELF and love every bit of it.
• NOT GET TIRED OF LIFE. Love life and it will love you back.
• SMILE (even if I don't feel like smiling)
• SEE INTO THE HEART. Be nice to anyone. No exceptions.
• BE PATIENT...
• --when waiting for something(mrt/lrt/jeepney ride, commercial breaks, payday ;p, long queues, answers, slow internet connection, text message replies, someone to open the gate, globe customer service)
• --with naughty little kids aka my little siblings rap and sis
• --with stubborn people (including myself)
• BELIEVE...
• --in myself (regardless of how people see me)
• --in others (regardless of how they see themselves)
• --in dreams (regardless of how impossible they may seem)
• TRY TO BE FRUGAL. SAVE more. SHOP less. (now, this is challenging. haha!)
• TRUST GOD and His plans for me.
• JUST LOVE. No questions asked. No expectations. No qualifications.
• CHALLENGE MYSELF. I will dare to do things I thought I can't do. (except going inside the haunted house. awooo )
• LEAVE THE WHAT IFS OF THE PAST BEHIND. I have so many questions left unanswered and I don't think I still care to know the answers. Ugly things happen to give way to awesome things. I will start from where I am now. :)
• VALUE MY FAMILY MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. It's the constant thing in the world. :D No matter how you fail them, they will love you just the same.
• MAKE NEW FRIENDS AND RECONNECT WITH THE OLD ONES.
• GO TO PLACES I've never been to. I dream to travel to the most amazing places and I guess I can start now.
• BE PROACTIVE (not just when shopping)
• BE FIT. EAT HEALTHY. EXERCISE (It'll be fun! Haha)
• BE PUNCTUAL. I was hesitant to include this because it had been on my list for like forever? Hehe. There's still hope, I guess. :)
