Ok, so I've been avoiding the whole discussion about new year resolutions, but I decided to try to list out what I sort of have planned for this year. Nothing is set in stone because I just didn't feel like being so strict on myself this year. I don't seem to stick to them either way :P

1. Lose the fat - A universal resolution, but in my case this really has to happen. I've gained a good amount of weight thanks to my other half :P but it's depressing that I can't wear all the clothes I own without feeling self-conscious. I don't like resorting to buying "fat clothes" because I think it's just an easy way for me to get off track. The main thing I need right now is motivation to get off my lazy butt and exercise as well as eat better.

2. Learn Cantonese - I was going to start this late last year but things just got really busy for me. I'm working on devising a good schedule for working out and studying. This is one of the languages I want to learn (aside from Spanish and Japanese, and brushing up on my Tagalog), but because B's parents speak Cantonese this one takes precedence over the other languages :)

3. Makeup blog? - B might be one of the only few that know that I would love to be a makeup artist, but I don't have much confidence in my "work" to really pursue this. I'm not even sure where to start so he thought it would be a good idea to post looks, ask for opinions, etc. I don't know. I'm a little shy about it so we'll see what happens. I've reserved a spot just in case I decide to go through with it ;) We'll see if I even keep that webpage, the name may change hehe...

4. Take more pictures - I have lots of good cameras but I rarely take them out. What a waste. Perhaps I can start photoblogging? We'll see. Sometimes there's a certain amount of privacy lost when posting pictures, but I'll just be more selective with what I post.

5. Dress better for work - This one is actually dependent on the success of resolution #1. I'm not getting any younger so I feel like I should be dressing more "mature", but it's difficult to care when my job doesn't require a specific wardrobe. However, I don't want to invest in nicer clothes until I'm satisfied with my body size.

6. Take a pole dancing class - I heard it's a great workout and it sounds like fun. I've been putting this off for sooo long. I want to take at least one class before the end of this year!

7. Go to church more - I've been pretty lazy about attending church on a regular basis. I got to be good!

Aaand... I can't think of anything else right now, but it looks like I already have enough to worry about ;) I better get started!
