I cannot (and wouldn’t) count the number of times people tell me that I’m the happiest person they know. I am also told that I appear to have no problems and just look genuinely happy all the time. Sometimes I want to agree with them. Sometimes, I even think I’m the happiest person I know. Then I meet great and inspiring individuals, and suddenly, being the happiest person alive isn’t so wonderful after all. [Read more…]
You don’t have to remind me that my birthday’s still five months away. I know that already. But I also know that no one besides my parents would give me a gift anyway, so most of the things on my wishlist would be out of my own pocket. Heh. I started saving during the last quarter of last year. I am excited, really.
I guess what I really like about working is how I no longer have to depend on my parents for the things I want. Like, if I want to buy something, I wouldn’t have to wash the dishes so I could ask them calmly is it’s okay for them to buy me something. Ha. Not that I really do that but I hope you get my point. Anyway, a lot of things I want are pretty general and quite necessary. You’ll see what I mean.

Smiling flirtatiously isn’t exactly one of my plans for this year, but that’s the best I can do to look confident. I am not really one of those people who make resolutions every year. I feel like changing doesn’t have to start precisely on New Year’s Day. It can happen any day, any minute. But I do like making plans and goals to be achieved for that year. I usually post it online so I can commit to it more. (It’s not always effective, though.) My lists were often long, but for 2011, I will try to keep it at a minimum.
I have so many plans that I realize that to do it all, I need to be a superwoman. A superwoman only capable of saving herself, that is. I wish I can do everything, and I wish I do have super powers. But sadly I am no cast of Misfits so I simply have to narrow down my goals to a few. Some of these have been on my list for years now. Maybe this year, I can finally cross it out. [Read more…]
