I'm not really a new-year's-resolution person. Although, I have tried that before, I haven't been so serious about it. I used to jot down what I would like to accomplish, to erradicate, to lessen or minimize for the next coming year. But, I ended up being dismayed at the fact that only a few from the list of what they call 'resolutions' have been ticked.
But, this time, just to revive this old habit, I will write down a list for 2009. This time around, with the hope that every single item from the list will be ticked as accomplished. Let me see. So here it goes...
1. Don't stay up very late, especially on weekdays. Take advantage of the opportunity to have a decent sleep other people are deprived of. It's good for your health and beauty...(beauty tip ito! heheh)
2. Minimize being an impulsive buyer and a shopaholic monster. Think, think, think before you buy. Tip: when you go to the mall, don't bring large amount of money and don't bring credit cards, I think that would help to beat the itch.
3. Drink a lot of water. I'm not sure how many liters of water is ideal for or needed by the body in one single day. All I know is that it's a lot and I have not been religious about it..sure I ain't...So, cheers to more fluids!
4. Stop drinking...(as in beer, spirits or any form of liquor)...even on occasions...If I could...heheh!
5. Eat less meat and go for more veggies and salads...Be more health-conscious.
6. Do sit-ups more often...like a decent count twice a week...that would do.

There are items here which are not really resolutions, but more of a fantastic dream. Heheh! Let them be. They are something to look forward to at 2009 end, whether they ever come true or not. If yes, yes!!! If no, there are more years to come to carry them over. Still, there are some here which are pretty tough to do and not to do. It's only week one and yet i feel i've already fallen off the wagon. Tsk, tsk tsk...
