2013 AD

I’m writing my last post for this year…J I can’t believe that we are going for 2013! This year has been a blessed year for me. I’d achieved some of my dreams and pushing myself to the most this year and for that I’m really proud of myself. As you know that today is the last day of the year 2012, I want to thank the special people who have touched my life with their concern and made my life more meaningful (you are one of them). Thanks for your contribution to my life and may God almighty continue to give you abundant blessing and happiness in the coming years too.

2013 is approaching within 24 hours but I’ve made some resolutions for this coming new year…(made it but never 100% accomplish! haha).

1. Spend More Time with Family & Friends

I vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Make plans to meet up with friends for an evening of hi tea or take the family to an interesting trip (it doesn’t matter if it is near or not as long as we had fun!). Work shouldn't always come first!

 

2. Fit in Fitness

As my age number has direct correlation with the number of years, this resolution is inevitable! The evidence is in for fitness. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps myself healthy and makes me look and feel better. Why not make this the time to start getting in shape for you as well? Sports (jogging, volleyball, football…) have become my evening workout every day.

 

3. Enjoy Life More

Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles I had, it is no wonder that "enjoying life more" has become my popular resolution in recent years. It's an important step to a happier and healthier me! It’s not only limited like taking products designed to bring balance to my body, mind and soul or just get out and try something new! I’d take up a new hobby like photography. It isn’t an expensive hobby so I’ll try perfecting my skills in photography next year.

 

4. Managing My Debt/Financial

Money was a big source of stress in my life every year. I need to resolve some of my monthly debt (no thanks to study loan, car loan, etc…) and spend the year getting a handle on my finances. Investment is my priority and it's a promise that will repay itself many times over in the year ahead.

 

5. Help Others

Ok. It’s a popular, non-selfish New Year's resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether I choose to spend time helping out at my town, mentoring a student, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use my help (subject to my availability…hehe). If my time is really in short supply, maybe I can at least find it in me to donate blood, clothing and other household items that I’m no longer need, rather than leaving them out by the curb to fill up landfills.

 

6. Get Organized

On just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. I need to live a more organized life. No I don’t need a counselor to help me with this but adjusting and tweaking some of my die hard habit will do just fine.

Alright, that’s a wrap. To my readers; May the good times and treasures of the present come
the golden memories of tomorrow. Wish you lots of love joy and happiness. Happy New Year 2013!!
