I have been sitting idle for the past three months because, frankly, I don't really know what to do. I lost focus after a heartbreak. Let's leave it at that kasi hindi naman yun ang gusto ko isulat ngayon.
I need to refocus. I need to restart. It's never too late even if three months has passed. Hindi pa naman huli ang lahat para gumawa ng listahan ng mga gusto kong gawin sa susunod na siyam na buwan di ba?
So, to start this month, let me share you the things I need to change and goals I want to achieve before the year ends.
On Health
Before the year ends, I'd like to be physically fit. I will start eating healthy. I will eat more fruits and vegetables,the real ones. I will visit the doctor for the long-delayed follow-up on my hyperthyroid. I will take up a new sport and start running, join the bandwagon probably. But definitely I will start hitting the gym again. I'll make myself irresitable again. Hohoho! And for the nth time, I'll try quitting smoking, again. I am claiming that this year, I'll be successsful.
On Relationships
I will build new friendships and revisit old ones. I have been a hermit for too long. Hopefully, I can start dating again. Who knows, I might find THE one this time.
On Finances
It's long overdue but now I need to find a new employer. When I'm working again, I will see to it that at least 20% of my income goes to my savings. Also, this year I will look for alternative sources of income.
On Recreation
Life will be boring if I will continue to do the things that I have been doing, so this year I will try out new things and set myself out for new adventures. I don't find watching a movie worthwhile, this year, maybe I should. For me, a book is uninteresting, but it will be if it will be my only companion on a retreat to a secluded beach somewhere in Palawan or Bohol maybe.
On Blogging
Hopefully, I won't leave blogging again. I am daring myself to write at least ten posts per month until the end of the year. This year, too, when I'm able to buy myself a nice camera, I will start sharing snapshots I'll take of anything that I find interesting. I will keep this blog simple and personal. I will keep sharing happiness.
Today's April Fools, but right now, there's no fooling around. Ten months na akong ganyan. That's already enough. I know with a pinch of perseverance and a dash of humor, I'll be able to make the remainder of the year a hearty feast.
So help me God. Thank you!
I love you all!
Cheers to changes for the better! ☺
ReplyDeleteand yes, please stop smoking... and get that check up real soon!

To start you on the right track to finding reading interesting, you may want to read or re-read The Little Prince..(it has a way of remotivating me to read, I hope it works the same for you..)
Stay focused and happy.. and everything else will follow..

DeleteI am someone who simply came across your blog and was inspired by it. I love the intellect and the heart in each entry, no matter how light or heavy the subject is. Like I said, if I am to start my own blog, my initial entry would be about inspiration and you definitely will have my gratitude.

ReplyDeleteyour post made me think of things na kelangan ko baguhin about myself. thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteim glad i can inspire.=)
Resolutions are not supposed to be done during the first month of the year, we can always do it anytime. When we see things not going our way, we need some changes and to do it now is better than not doing them at all. I vowed to myself that I will travel again and I am booked throughout the year, just giving you an example. Good luck and write about them every month. Will follow through.
ReplyDeletethanks for the idea jonathan, yes, ill give updates when i can.im actually starting on the reading novels part. im still having a hard time finishing one..lols

Way to go! I hope you success in your to do list this year.
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I am biased about photography, I would encourage you to pursue it because it's a good therapy, kahit kuha lang ng kuha anything na magustuhan ng mga mata mo,hehe
oo nga, yun talaga balak ko, since college nagustuhan ko na photography=) kaso di ko napagtuunan ng pansin kase nga wala akong camera.
