Ready, set, ACTION

I don't really come up with New Year's Resolution list 'coz eventually I'm bound at being disappointed at seeing myself failing to fulfill it as the year wears on. This year, I decide to write down a list, not of aspirations but of actions. At least, it's some sort of things to-do which I'm better at keeping, and not some sort of wishful thinking. This is in no particular order BTW.

1. Seek a derma consultation and allot budget for treatment.

Three people already suggested this to me and I'm not dense to realise that my face isn't a hopeless case.

2. Move out of my parents' house and jumpstart on an independent bachelor lifestyle.

Cavite is starting to become unbearable for me. Also tutal naman na-experience ko nang mamuhay nang mag-isa sa abroad, I believe I'm ready for that over here as well. All I need is a definite response from a potential housemate and a definite location.

3. Engage in a highly-physical activity and get on with it at least once a month for a start.

Yes, it starts with S. I miss sport climbing, even though I have a semi-traumatic experience of having to experience humiliation from an antipatiko instructor back in college. (Sayang ang gwapo pa naman niya and I dig kalbo guys pa naman.)

4. Brush up on my French.

Sayang kasi ang 6 units of French back college kung di ko rin naman magagamit. Besides, I don't wanna cease learning. Having gotten out of the university ain't a good excuse at all.

5. Learn the ropes of table-turning.

This has been on my head since early college days. I've downloaded videos from the Net and even downloaded FL Studio. I even listen to club tracks every now and then and get the feel of being the guy who makes people dance the night away.

6. Defy my own self-imposed conventions as far as meeting people.

I just miss my New Zealand days. I remember meeting my set of friends in Wellington when I decided to walk in a church service, despite knowing that I'm the only Asian guy there. Why can't I be the same guy back home?

7. Allot budget for a brand-new laptop.

This is the only electronic gadget I'm really aiming to have by next year, siguro pag na-regular na ko sa work. Now all I need to do is to check out laptop specs.
