| Same drill every year....so here's my 2009 New Year Resolutions blog.
Have been feeling very stressed out lately due to pretty much all aspects of my life...haha. People have been saying that I'm very 'ging' already, but still, there are so many things that need to be done and I can't rely on anyone to do it. I guess I won't go into too much details in it, as I've already given some of you a ear full...hahaha. Anyways, there's no point in looking back or complaining or dreading. I'll just have to look forward to see what can be done in the future. I've broken this down into categories just for simplicity sake. I think I'm definitely gonna' look back at this particular blog throughout the year as a guideline to see how well I followed (or deferred from it rather..hahaha) 'plans'.
Things that I have accomplished/worth remembering or carrying over from 2008 to 2009: - Doing well in Bus 424 - Good times with friends - HK/Thailand trip - California trip - Graduating from University - Getting my first 'real-world' job
Things that I do not want to carry over from 2008 to 2009: - Anything that made me upset (strange...cuz' I don't seem to remember them anymore, only faintly, which is a good thing, cuz' they're not worth remembering anyway..LOLOL) - although there's one issue today that made me upset...which I remember quite vividly.....hahaha - Any negative emotional ties (they're going into the trash can)
Goals for 2009:
For Self-Development - Join street jazz class at Broadway Jazz - Learn to be a better cook - Be able to take care of myself and others - Be even more social/open - Meet more friends - Work on my mental/spiritual well-being (join church) - Learn to be more independant - Opportunity to travel?
Health - Join street jazz classes, exercise, and be more healthy - Start eating more proper meals and have a balanced diet - Try to drink more water - Manage my sleeping time - To gain more fat on my face - Try not to stress out too much and don't get too skinny
Career (things to keep in mind/improve) - Be a good gatekeeper when placing candidates/be skeptical - Document everything - to protect myself in case issues come up - Communicate even more effectively - even if it means repeating myself and stating the obvious - Devise strategies to solve current work process issues - to lessen the effect for clients - Continue to learn and gain experiences - Slow down and aim for higher accuracy, while still being productive and responsive - Start my CHRP designation and take the 1st level of exam
Financial - Continue to sustain my own living expenses + contribute ^_^
Image - To dress up more professionally at work (*an excuse to buy more clothes...LOL) - To look even better + confident
Love/Relationship - Take it easy: it's hard to find someone you like who likes you back. On top of that, person, time, place, feeling have to be right as well...how often do all these factors exist at the same time? You'd think 'not very often'. I don't think it happens that often either, but I believe it will happen. - Maintain a certain standard - Fate (although effort required at critical times..hahah) Believe in effort, fate, coincidences and miracles
Friendship - Make more new friends/build more connections - Have more fun - Maintain my current list of favourite friends...haha
I think these are my plans for now. ^_^ Hopefully I can achieve some of them...I will begin starting January!!! I'll need to have a lot of energy for 2009, because there are a lot of things that I want to do/accomplish. It's gonna be more so a work-in-progress year or self-development year.
Anyways, Happy New Year everyone!!! Wish you the best!!!!!!!!!

| 15 more days till school ends....can't wait! Well...there's still the finals, but I'll worry about those later.
Got 'inched' by some guy the other day. I just kinda' laughed it off though....since I'm not planning to be friends with him anyway. Can't really handle ppl with attitude problems. Oh wellz, not worth my energy to complain about him. The paper will be done soon!
As for my presentation....kinda worried about it....cuz' obviously, we are not ready yet. Once again, I'm being very time conscious. Kinda like it when things are to the point and completed in an efficient manner. Not much time for me to waste these days anyway. But maybe there is for others? Go figure...
okie - time to get some good quality sleep! ^_^

| Again....haven't blog for a LONG time! Things have been really crazy this month. From now till the end of July, I'll have to finish 2 group papers, 1 individual paper, 1 assignment, and 1 three hour presentation. Was kinda' discouraged a little while ago, because once again, it felt like I was putting in so much effort but ended up with getting nothing. But I'm really glad that I went to see the TA today. She informed me that I'm actually doing fine in the class....when I thought I was doing poorly. Maybe I was blind the other day...I thought I saw that a lot of students did super well when I checked the list. My TA said she thinks I will do well in this course...haha...I don't know why she said that...maybe just to comfort me? But I think I'm gonna believe in it. You must be wondering why I care so much....well that's what happens when you're desperate about something. There are actually strong reasons behind my desperate-ness. Yep, but despite my desperate-ness, I'm gonna forget about the sunk cost and look forward. I've been able to figure out many things lately. In terms of my job plans, I think I already know what my next step is. So overall, I don't think I'm confused anymore. ^_^ | | |
| Man....I'm really getting lazy in updating my blog. hahah...and people are getting lazy in reading my blogs too. Well, it's still good for self-expression once in awhile. So, I just went to hiphop class this morning. It was a good workout. Some of the dance moves are getting more complicated though. I was gonna' do bellydancing as well.....on mondays....but that means I'll have to make an extra trip up to sfu just for this......really want to go, but let's see if I have the motivation + energy to do that as well. Have been meeting with my group members these couple weeks to prepare for our presentations/papers. There are some frustrations. Have been questioning myself about the word 'committment'. Seems like I am always the one who puts in a lot of committment to things, but others just aren't the same. Sometimes I wonder if I should lower my level of committment....just so that it's less draining on myself? But well...knowing what kind of person I am, I don't think I can. At least I know one thing for certain though....by being so committed to things/people, I can say to this day that I don't really have many regrets. Things like 'oh....I should've done it back then.' I dunno....I just think when opportunities come, you should grab onto them. It's all about doing things at the right time, cuz' days after that, the situations might be different already. So lately, I've become more open-minded. However, I have decided that there are certain things/beliefs that I would still like to stick to, w/o becoming too open-minded about them. Did I tell you guys about this one guy in one of my groups....how at the beginning, I kinda wanted to smack him on the face because he kept smiling when I am talking about serious stuff? Normally I like smiley people....but when you are talking about serious things and he keeps smiling....you just feel that he isn't really paying attention to you and he's not serious about the project. But surprisingly, he proved me wrong in the end. I have some thoughts on this...but gotta' head to class now....haha....so maybe I'll continue expanding later on...if I feel like it....LOLOL. Ciao ~ | | |
| Has been about 2 weeks since I last updated my blog. Man, I'm starting to get lazy....@_@. Actually no, it's just that there are too many thoughts in my mind lately...so it's hard to put all of them on here. Plus, it's sometimes good to reserve some major thoughts in your mind.
Well, all's been good I guess. Went to hiphop class today, and will attend the bellydancing one starting next week. These exercises hopefully will get me through this semester stress-free and allow me to continue with my positive thinking!
Dunno why, but I realized that I have become much more brave now. Have been surprising people...even myself.
Anyways...got LOTS to do now. Down to my last semester!! Should work hard!!!
