Here I am, and I can't sleep. It's a new year. Welcome 2003! Drinking wine here and writing this new entry to put myself to sleep. hehehe! But I don't know, I might pop in some DVD to watch later after I write this. It seems I don't feel like going to sleep. I suppose I'm trying to make the most out of what's remained of the Christmas and new year holidays before I go back to work on the 2nd of Jan. Just 1 day away! Ack!!!
Interesting note: It's now strangely quiet around the house. Normally, the new year's revelry with all those firecrackers or "explosives" if I may say so would still be "playing" outside. The sounds were rather deafening here not more than an hour ago. And that sort of atmosphere usually lasts 'til 2:00 a.m. every year. Until now. It seems the bad economy and aftereffects of 9/11 have taken their toll.
But since it's the new year, I have some new year's resolutions in mind. This year shall be a rather busy one for me I'm afraid. I will start juggling work and masteral studies and keeping myself physically and mentally able to undertake not just both but other priorities as well. Gawd, I'm beginning to feel tired just thinking about such things. haha! :P
In keeping with work, study and other priorities, I have the ff:
Resolution Number 1: take vitamin supplements daily
-very important, as such may help keep me saner and more able.
Resolution Number 2: stop unnecessary dining out/hanging out (read "shopping/eating, drinking and being merry and the like") with friends, full stop.
--Buddies, I have nothing against you. It just means that a hectic schedule packed between work and classes (for a foreign language and for my pursuit of a postgraduate degree) has probably shot down my social life. Whereas I can go out on weeknights before, now, am afraid I have to keep my socializing and hanging out only on weekends with Sundays reserved for myself. Otherwise, I think I might go crazy!! We'll see! They say women are more apt at doing multitasking. Well, that may be true but it certainly has its limits. hehe!
For longer-term goals:
Resolution Number 3: Save save save. 'Nuff said.
Resolution Number 4: In keeping with No. 3, stop unnecessary shopping
--and reward myself with a trip overseas later in the year and probably make up for it. Har har!! :D
Hmmmm... I have so far just the above resolutions. The rest aren't fit for public consumption. :P So Happy New Year! Bon annee tout le monde! Cheers! Time for that DVD...
