Happy New Year - Resolutions?!

Happy New Year 5 days too late!! Hope you all had a safe New Years Eve. I personally don't like to light fireworks myself but I like watching all the fireworks everyone in the neighbourhood has =)

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, then again, I've been really lazy with blogging, as you may have noticed. But here I am trying to blog again =)

As I mentioned in my previous post I dramatically failed my resolutions from last year. This year I have new resolutions. Some are cheesy, some not. At least this year I'm really motivated for some reason (maybe it's because it's the beginning of the year) but yeah, explanation will follow.

1. Let's start with a cheesy one. Become healthy and get into shape. Quite a cheesy one right? Last year I also mentioned I want to lose weight. Of course! The holidays are just over and of course I couldn't leave all those delicious food with delicious desert. So yeah, of course I gain weight. Being healthy combines with losing weight (as I ate quite unhealthy: a lot, before so if I eat healthier I will naturally lose more weight) but I think this year will be better than last year because of some other reasons too. I hate the face my face has blemishes. Of course they're not a lot, like people suffering from acne have. But I still hate them. I hope eating and living healthier will reduce all those blemishes and will lead to a healthy looking skin =). Also I hate the fact that I get tired very fast, I feel like I have no stamina at all. I really need to build up my stamina. Therefore I have to exercise more which is also good for my skin because I sweat all those toxins out and exercising of course also leads to weight loss. Only losing weight as a resolution is not good. That's probably why I failed my resolution last year. Thinking that your skin will look a lot better, you can run kilometres without getting out of breath... Doesn't that give a lot of motivation?
2. You ready for another cheesy one? Buy less. Bought too much stuff last year I feel like crying (actually daddy's wallet should feel like crying) OK, motivated much? No, as I will be going shopping the day after tomorrow... kakakakakaka 
3. Seriously start learning Chinese this year. Maybe something like: One Chinese word a day (unless it's a damn easy one of course) Not sure yet if I should go for writing as well... Damn those characters are a pain in the ass... All those strokes... Ugh. Confusion to the max. And then I still have to choose between Cantonese and Mandarin (one at a time, I do want to speak both... eventually... or never O_O) My grandma speaks Cantonese but I think she can speak Mandarin too. Mandarin would be a lot more "universal" I guess..? But I can't have test conversations, with e.g. my mum because she only speaks Cantonese #hardlife. Luckily I have found some websites that could help me in my learning process, but the downside is it doesn't use Pinyin which is really easy for me to read for pronunciation... Anyways,,, any suggestions on choosing between Cantonese and Mandarin?



You can try remembering this one O-O? wtf

4. Become a working person. Yes, I still have school. And I'm always whining on my blog how busy I am and I can't find the time to blog, blah blah blah. But I promise you I NEED JOB RIGHT NOW! Because I'm such a money lurker. I need money of my own and start saving like a madman and buy my own lovely things.
5. Be more careful of my own stuff. I get the feeling I lost quite a lot of things this year. I need to be more careful of my stuff. I actually check everything and freak out when I can't find something even though it's still somewhere in my bag. But still, if I could do things over and watch some things better, I would've done it over...
6. Becoming a better person overall. I do talk negative about people sometimes. I may dislike this person but I've learned I shouldn't talk bad about them (Karma will always catch me...). They don't deserver it because deep down they're still nice people. Maybe they don't show it too much but they are! You should just keep believing. I also think I can be quite pessimistic sometimes... I need to be able to trust the right people and ignore the real "fake people"

These were basically my resolutions. Some were quite cheesy, but I hope I can keep most of my resolutions.  I've already started with the "becoming healthy" part. Been going to the gym for the past 2 days and trying to eat as healthy as possible. The only thing that's questionable is what I'm going to do about the exercise when school starts again... Need to figure it out.

And the Chinese... Well, I've been studying some simple basic Cantonese things but still not sure if I should continue with that. I also know some really extremely basic Mandarin but yeah... Maybe I should just watch more dramas and hope I learn a lot xd lol.

Anyways, what are your resolutions? Have you been keeping up so far?

I know this post was quite a lot of text, but when I type everything just rolls right out and I just keep blabbering about everything... Hard to find images to match and I'm not really the type that camwhores a lot, cuz I suck at it..
