Revisiting Old Promises

The last month of 2009 is approaching and 2010 is so close, I can smell it.

I've always been a sucker for new beginnings. It gives me a strengthened feeling of hope. I've always been a firm believer that whatever the downfall may be, you can always get up, dust yourself off and start a new. That's why I love starting a new year. Although it can be quite depressing looking at past New Year's Resolutions un-done, I'm happy to say I think I've done quite well this year.

Below is my list of 2009 Resolutions and how things are tracking.

1. Surpass the eternal female struggle - Maintain a healthy weight. Should be achieved my mid year. - I didn't achieve it by mid-year but glad to say I lost a fair bit in the second half of the year.

2. Maintain a zero credit card balance at the end of each month. Bye bye emotional shopping outbursts. - NOT SUCCESSFUL! Try harder next year, Debs.

3. Exercises. At least 3 times a week. Health is wealth as they say. - I did well here. Some weeks, even exercised 4 or 5 times. Yay!

4. Read 1 book each week. Tis also good to invest in the mind y'know. - not successful. I got caught up with studying for my DFP. But I did get caught in the Twilight craze and The Bronze Horseman series.

5. Spa Night once a week. Ahh... It's also good to reward thyself. - Not sure how regular I've been with this the whole year, but the past months, I've been pretty good with this. Special thanks to the Natio Body Sugar Scrub I got. It smells soo good and leaves my skin so soft and suple that I always look forward to my spa nights.

6. Gotsa pursue my Pharmacy Career. Admin jobs suck. It makes you dumb. - I've applied for my Pharmacy license back in the Philippines. The nitty-gritty part is still to come. Gotta make sure I don't lose track in the year to come.

7. Pray more. It does give me a fuller sense of being. - I can always improve on this.

8. Reconnect with Family. I think it'll make me feel more complete. - I did! Yay! And yes, I do feel more complete and a lot better.

2010 Resolutions, I've got you at the back of my mind... Coming soon to a blog space near you. ;)

Till next time.
