Hello 2011!

Goodbye 2010! Hello 2011! Last year was truly tumultuous and I hope that this year will prove to be better. I resigned from work last year and applied in a new company. I enjoy my work very much despite the low salary I am getting. But hey, I am not complaining since the workload is not that heavy. I enjoy coming in to work because there is definitely less stress (you don't know how tense I was when I was still working for my previous company, its no fun talking to complaining customers!) and I like most of the people in our office.

I guess it is common for people to have a New Year's resolution so I think it is only right that I post mine here. Let me give you 10 of my resolutions for this year.

1. Try to be less serious, learn to enjoy more- I am always worrying about this and that and honestly, for most of the time it is something really trivial and beyond my control. I want to enjoy my youth while I still have it. 
2. Lose weight, I mean REALLY! - I know its a pretty common resolution and one that often gets broken but I am really SERIOUS about this. I am going to be slimmer this year since being chubby isn't really helping out my image and I want to be healthy and all that stuff. 
3. Improve my looks - I have posted on my blog before that I want to change my hair color, eye color, etc. and I may still do that depending on how my mood goes. But most definitely I want to start looking better and stop looking so boring. 
4. Be more smart with money, be more thrifty! - I am an impulsive buyer :-(  Most of the time, I buy these really useless junk and my budget suffers as a consequence. I want to be more analytical and wise in money matters and I will try to remember that its not how many you own but its how much you keep.  :-)
5. Be less bitchy, be more friendly! - I am sorry but I enjoy being a bitch for too long. :-) By bitchy, I mean that I am too opinionated and I don't take crap from anyone. I could sometimes come across as bossy and snobby but that's all going to change (little by little). That doesn't mean that I am going to let people walk all over me (just let me see them try!) but I will make a concentrated effort to be sweeter and nicer even though I feel like scratching some people's eyes out.
6. Go to church more often - I am a very prayerful person but there are times (specifically Sundays) that I fail to hear mass. I will have to make it a point that I go to mass every Sunday since I don't work anyway on that day and its my way of thanking God for taking care of me and my family.
7. Smile more! - I don't smile a lot because I think that I look better if I don't smile because my face creases up every time I flash a grin. I know it sounds weird but that's the way I look at it.
8. Catch up on my reading and finish my cross-stitch - I don't get to read too much nowadays and I truly miss it. I bought so many books too and they're just gathering dust in my room. I have to pick up on my cross stitch especially since my friend Denzyl gave me this pretty Barbie cannister lunch box for Christmas and I used it to store all my thread. 
9. Update my blog regularly - I love my blog and I really want to have as many followers as I can. That's why I have to find ways to make my blog more exciting and interesting to my readers.
10. Be a better child to my parents, a good sibling to my brother and sisters, and a good friend - I think this doesn't need any explanation. I want to show my parents how happy I am that they raised me and my siblings the best they could, especially my Mommy who is always there to support me. To my dear brother and sisters, I am sorry if your "kuya" is sometimes like a frivolous butterfly but I promise to improve myself so hang on there! To my friends, well what more can I say? I am always here when you need me.

I was going to include that I should have a new boyfriend this year but how can I make sure of that? Its not as if I achieve that without the help of someone (i.e my crush) and I don't know how that would happen since I am so shy and I don't even know his name!

Wow this post is so long already! Before I close this, here are the gifts I received this Christmas:

My office colleague, Ronald Gow, gave me this shawl and I am currently using it in the office.

My sister, Marie Chit, gave me this lovely Barbie notebook

My office colleague and friend Denzyl gave me this shopping bag. I love the message.

Denzyl also gave me this lunch box. I like it.

Marie Fay, one of my sisters, gave me this bed sheet which I will definitely use.

Enjoy and Happy New Year again!

I'm Back (From Out of Space)

 Hello guys! I am back! Finally, our PC is fixed (again) and I could update my blog once more. I missed my blog. So how is everything? How come my followers did not multiply to a hundred when I logged in? (I wish :-) ) Anyway, I am really excited to start posting stuff here and I wish I took a note of everything that was going through my mind while our PC was down. Which reminds me how neglectful I am in writing in my diary. Well, first thing's first.

As soon as I get hold of my family's Christmas celebration, you can be sure that I will posting the pictures here. Our celebration this year was fairly simple. We just had spaghetti, friend chicken, and garden salad. The nice thing is that our neighbors gave us some of their own food so our food increased until we couldn't possibly eat all of it. :-) Fortunately, the food given to us are the sort that won't spoil easily. So we just stashed it inside our fridge and I guess we will be eating it for the next few days until new year.

Sadly, the company I work for decided that we will have a shift on the 31st of December. You can't imagine how crestfallen I was when I heard this. I was really excited to celebrate New Year with my family since I haven't been able to do so since time immemorial. My mother just told me that I should just be thankful that I have work since many people don't have my good fortune. I guess she's right, I mean how can I complain when I have so many blessings already?

I am in the process of redecorating my bedroom and once again, I will post some pictures once I have them available. :-) I am soooo excited!
