2006 NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

I'm done with my resolutions. I think I've become more vague this year compared to last year, but I decided that becoming "general" would inspire me to go beyond the "specifics" I had in mind at the start of the year, and throughout the year work on what I initially believed was essential. To achieve what is after all my point.

SPIRITUAL:
Be more Islamic this year. Talk more to God. Connect more with Islam, my Muslim brothers and sisters, and with my heritage. Little steps make the difference.

LOVE:
Talk less, listen more. Be less selfish, be more giving. Pay more attention to the beautiful little details. Be more romantic and spontaneous. Be more attentive to his needs.

FAMILY:
Care more. Call them more. Communicate more. Be more thoughtful. Exert more effort to strengthen relationships. Say I love you. Say thank you.

FRIENDS:
Be more giving. Be more helpful. Listen more. Cherish true friends, forget the rest. There’s no more time for shit.

FINANCES:
Fix my finances. Save AT LEAST 50% of net income. Invest wisely. Budget wisely. Seriously develop a budget and stick to it. The budget must make room for both wisdom, recreation, and contingency (for emergency or impulse buying :p). Build a strong credit history this year. Future finances depend on this. Bad finance > Bad plans > Bad future > Bad life.

CAREER:
Develop an honest commitment with present job. Start thinking of it as a lifetime vocation, not just a job. Do something about wanting to pursue further studies or teaching.

LOCATION:
Find a way to return to Manila. Be creative about the ways to return. :)

HEALTH & BEAUTY:
Dependent on returning back to Manila, join a fitness club and become fit by the end of the year. Believe that miracles can happen. Cut down on chocolates, sweets, carbonated drinks, rice and bread.

Start a beauty regimen for my hair, face, skin and nails. Get that digital perm at David’s Salon by mid-year. Grow your hair, and get those Hollywood locks you’ve been dying to have since forever. Develop a loyalty for one effective anti-ageing / anti-wrinkles for my face and skin. Restore toenails to youthful and healthy state by the end of the year.

Start a health regimen for my eyes and teeth. Sleep and eat within an accectable schedule. Fix my monthly period. Go to my OB and religiously take the medication.
