Start the year right!

No. I won't jot down my new year's resolution this year. Why? Because I always end up NOT doing them. Which is not good. Sabi nga nila, 'word without actions are empty', kaya ang mga resolutions ginagawa, hindi lang nililista. I don't know what came over me but I wrote that line and made it as my status in FB. Just stating the obvious, I guess. These things are easier said than done, now the real challenge is to turn it the other way around! :)

This year I plan to write more short stories, to expand my horizon and to finish the ones I already started. I'm not the OMG-you're-a-genius type of writer but still I like squeezing those creative juices every once in a while, just for them to not run dry. ;) I'll let OTHER people read it, I swear I'm shy when it comes to other people reading my works. I guess I'm just scared na they might not like it. I'm sorry I have this very bad habit of 'trying to please people'. I hate it sometimes. :(

NEXT PLAN! Pursue ART! =))))) Seriously! They say that Passion and Practice are needed in this field. I guess they forgot a vital ingredient in this recipe, and it is: SKILL. Something which I unfortunately, don't have. :)) I'm a frustrated artist, remember? Well, I could doodle, BAH. Does that even count? =)) But seriously, I would love to try painting. I love the mixture of colors and the effects of the shades. <3 Photography is connected with art right? So, I'll try taking shots using my Powershot. Nah, it's no SLR, but remember what they say: it's all about the photographer.

RF: I really want to be a freelance photographer and events planner someday.

Dear reader, those two are my plans for this year. They are both ACHIEVABLE so I should accomplish both... or even just one.

2012. Such a controversial year. According to the Mayan Calendar, this is the year where in all this is going to END. Whether this is true or not, I do not know. We should always remember to treasure everything we have and LIVE EVERY MOMENT because there will be no repeats or rewind, so whatever happens in the end we wouldn't be sulking in a corner, thinking about what ifs'.
