when i was a kid, they made me write new year's resolutions on paper, which we would then burn at midnight. with my memory, none of those resolutions stuck to my head. i don't think i've ever kept a single resolution i've made, especially those "i resolve to be more patient" lines.
a lesson i quickly learned from my corporate bondage is that the only way to get action (and get people accountable for their actions) is to EXPLICITLY state expectations, and get rid of those motherhood statements. so instead of resolutions, i just prepared a list of things TO DO this year.
1. go to Boracay this Labor Day weekend (3rd time's the charm!)
2. get my passport stamped in at least 3 countries i've never been to before (lead options remain Spain, Cambodia, Japan, Greece, and Italy).
3. buy at least one book a month.
4. buy AT MOST 2 pairs of shoes a month.
5. learn how to use Limewire (don't laugh) properly.
6. run in at least one 10k event, and train for a 2010 marathon.
7. buy a condo.
8. take sewing or swimming lessons.
9. go back to HK - and do the bungee thingo this time!
10. don't drink unless the mixer is DIET soda.
