You left and sailed away alone
And you got me trapped up on this island.
Resolutions damn it!

So today is January 2, 2010. Nothing much is happening today. It’s fascinating though that the date today is like a mirror. 01022010. Awesome. —- Okay, it’s not that awesome. I bet you can tell how bored I am. To distract myself, I am going to make a New Year’s Resolution. I wasn’t planning on making one, but desperate times call for desperate measures. —- Okay, I’m not desperate; I’m just bored.

Resolutions(wait for one week and I'm going to break 'em)

  1. BE NICER. This is gonna be really hard for me since I’m agressive by nature. I have to at least try.
  2. TRY TO IMPROVE MY TAGALOG. I am proud of my Filipino-ness. It’s just hard for me to remember tagalog words. I don’t want to feel stupid when it comes to Filipino.
  3. STOP BEING SO BOSSY. I know I am bossy, and I can admit it. My bossiness probably explains the next resolution.
  4. STOP INTIMIDATING PEOPLE. I don’t understand though why people find me intimidating. Im relatively small and shy, yet a lot of people are afraid of me. My theory is because I’m a perfectionist with high standards, and people don’t have enough confidence in themselves to pass my standards. I’ll figure out a way to do this. I need some help though.
  5. EXERCISE. I don’t really need to exercise to lose weight. Lord knows I don’t need to lose any pounds. I do need to get abs. I don’t really need abs; I just want them. I sort of started with this by hula hooping!
  6. STUDY, SERIOUSLY STUDY. I always tell myself every year that I’d study more often, but I never do. I don’t know how to study. It’s like I have ADHD everytime I pick up a school book. I can’t focus. It all works out eventually since I listen during lectures(I’m a good student!), so I never have problems with academics.
  7. IMPROVE MY HAND-EYE COORDINATION. I will somehow improve on this. Hopefully, I’ll lose my fear of sports if I do this. It’s not really a fear of sports; it’s more of a fear of balls hitting me.
  8. LESSEN THE USE OF COMPUTER. I wonder how much faster I can finish my homework if I do this.
  9. READ MORE OFTEN. I’m gonna try to fit 2 books per month, depending on how much free time I have which is hopefully a lot.
  10. STOP BEING A DUMBASS. Self-explanatory.
