A new year--a new beginning


Its new year! Time to jump start the new year with new life! This new beginning is a perfect time for me to start in a blank slate--smooth the way for a new life ahead! As i look back--i felt that God has been good---blessings poured out and so as trials that made me a stronger femme! with the memories of 2008---i can only look back and smile---2008 had been a good year for me! the blessings were enormous than the trials (or its the other way around--only that i overfocus on the blessings rather than on the trials!).For this year-- i promise to concentrate on what is important to me--my family, my advocacy and my career. For this year too, i hope to be thankful for the new and out with the old---probably give honor where honor is due and most importantly---forget about what Ihear from others (especially the backfighting--the criticism that is intended to hinder my personal goals) and just focus on what my life can produce!


One of my closest friend told me that in order for my life to be measurable--i should learn to make and plan for concrete goals every year. True enough--when i started writing down what i wanted to do with my life last year---my life had direction! really.


so for this year-- i hope to:


1. Finish another manuscript for publishing (really?!!)

2. pay all my debts! (credit cards!)--

3. finish my PHD! (really?!)

4. exercise more! (hahahahaha)
5. How about looking for the right guy?(duh!)


I dont want to put more exceptional goals--the first 4 above are enough and the fifth one--maybe a bonus!--at least for this year!
