kick off

so the 11 days of january has ended and it has indeed spilled some good tidings for me. Makes me realize how thankful i should be that i have a sane life. Most of my friends already know that i had used my magical katarayan to someone so early this year. well. at least i proved a point. but we both flagged down white and now all is at peace (most of the time).

it is very difficult managing the shop these days. though this time i have my whole life for it (except for new projects coming my way right after a big project done last saturday), it is just much simpler this way that i am able to manage my time and my efforts are well met and appreciated. (congratulations to my dearest baristas.. we garnered first place for the holiday chill promo!:) good job guys!). It seems that my philosophy these days is "follow your road".. i believe that each one of us have chosen a road and we all have to deal with life's uncertainties given the paths we choose. life is full of choices and it is always up to us-- and others should just respect our choices in life.

i have also been pondering these days of the things i want to accomplish this 2006. (inspired of the newstle low fat milk radio ad.. heard of it? hahaha it was funny. and i can really relate to. hahaha). so maybe these are SOME of the things i want to at least achieve this year.

1. practice german (bem, more YMs na tayo nito!)
2. get a good relax day per week. or at least thrice a month. not really a spa treatment but more of this is anj's day!
3. maintain CLAYGO for my desk.
4. sleep earlier and not early in the morning
5. keep mobile bill below 1k
6. keep in touch with ASLA-- they refuel me most of the time.
7. go out with college kadiri friendships at least once a month. or at least try to check on them once a week :)
8. meet with jemma at least twice a month or even more.
9. create ripples of change
10. market myself as an event manager.
11. lessen self pity days.
12. listen.
13. make reports on time.
14. umasang mapalapit sa meron.
15. save for a trip with friends to bora. (thank you to uncle fester's offer for a discount!)
16. smile more. laugh more.
17. lessen "the look"
18. read more books.
19. have a surprise visit for ate jess in her office-- bring her coffee!
20. fall in love. stay in love. (cheezy? so what!)

so let's just see what 2006 will unfold to the anj. many things are in store and im sure most of them are not worthy of me.
