I'm listing my 2009 New Year's Resolutions:
1. Be punctual. Come to work at least an hour before shift. Saves me money in the long run. I get to ride the PUJ instead of hailing a cab plus no late deductions and no memos coming from my sup.
2. Be organized. In everything... as in E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! haha.. from my stuff, to Celo's stuff to my emails, phone and all the other chorva. hahaha..
3. Be a camwhore. I have a camera that came from my `rents. I haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately and if I do, I'm too lazy to upload it. Ha! I need to capture those wonderful Celo moments.
4. Learn to cook. I love eating but I hate cooking. But since I'm a mom now, I know that I have to learn to cook or else... Anyway, my brother always reminds me how we all love our Mom's cooking. He says that whatever food I cook, Celo will love it too. Therefore, I need to learn asap. hahaha...
5. Give my online business time. I love selling online. Money earned here is for those extra what-have-yous I want. It's still in the works though.
6. Climb again. I want to go hiking and climbing anything! hahaha.. I miss my college days with the Outdoor Club. I'm not physically fit but hopefully I get to join a group again and relive my love for the mountains.
7. Save for the future. Save for me & Celo's future. I opened Celo a bank account and I'm setting a realistic goal of putting away at least 500 per payday. Ideally, that'll be 1k per month so by the end of the year, I should have at least 12k+ on Celo's savings that I shouldn't touch. Hopefully, I'd be able to do it on my 2nd atm too for myself.
8. Pay off my debts. I wanna be debt free. Brings peace of mind too. haha...
9. Be goal-oriented. I'm really a happy-go-lucky type of person. I don't plan for the future. Obvious ba? I need to set goals for myself and for my kid. Think "The Secret!"
10. Live, laugh and love... That's it. I've just got 1 life to live. I need to smile a lot. Love myself more. Give more.
That's it! 3 more days and it's 2009!
To my mom & dad who are miles away from me.. I love you both so much. I may not express it often, and I may not be that good a daughter always.. but everything you have done for me and Marcelo is very much appreciated. I sincerely thank the Lord that you're my parents and you're always alive and well.
To my dear brother Kuya Chris, we may always quarrel a lot and I may be a pessismist and a brat at times but I thank you dearly, for you have always been there to take care of my precious lil one when I'm away at work. Sacrificing yourself, things that you could have done with your time. I hope that this coming year, you'd find a job suitable for you that you'll learn to love.
To my eldest brother Mike, for the longest time I know we don't understand each other.. I may always seem pissed at you but I know you care about me more than I'll ever know. I'm sorry for my shortcomings and for understanding you. But I hope there will come a time we'll settle our differences and be close like we were when I was still a kid.
To Marteo, I'd always love you and stick by you no matter what. I know you love me like you always do in your own little way. We may not be the ideal couple in a relationship but I like this complicated-what-have-you that we've got. Whatever happens, you'll always be the father of my kid.. and I love you dearly and would never ever regret that we have Celo.
To my wonderful baby Celo. You're big now! For a 2 yr.old kid, you've got a lot going for you! I always thank the Lord that He has given me a wonderful, smart, handsome, independent & healty baby boy. I couldn't ask for anything more.. I love you the most above all else and always remember that no matter what, Mama will always give you all the love and caring that you need. Always. Just stay sweet and rock on!
Thank you Lord for the good life you have given me. For being there whenever I'm down and for giving me challenges so I could learn to pick myself up. I have been neglecting my Christian duties for some time now but I sincerely thank you for everything, for all the blessings and for this wonderful life that you have given me.
To all my friends and foes... basically, to everyone.. thanks for taking the time to read this...hehe..
Happy 2009!
