... i'll post my resolutions (no particular hierarchy unless otherwise indicated). just following the lead of some of my other friends. :)

short-term must dos:
1. finally complete the puzzle cube (or whatever you call it) (note: i completed it FINALLLY this morning. woohoo! when i sent a text message to my parents to tell them that i finally did something i was slaving [hehe] over during the break, my dad replied with "glue it together." hahaha!)
2. re-start taking muay thai (i start tomorrow! woohoo!)
3. learn ballroom dancing (i started today before game night...hehe!)
4. continue italian (we resume next week), german, french, and spanish (over the summer, i'll find the time)
5. beat my younger brother in chess (sana nga...hehe!)
6. re-learn how to play the piano or learn another instrument (can't wait til summer!)
7. learn how to mould/sculpt (haha..new obsession to be, i think... ang feeling ko, i don't have a single artistic bone in my body..hehe!)
8. get over my ______-fear ('nuff said)
9. forgive myself and stop putting myself down (i've realized that oftentimes, i am my own worst enemy. i remember my "problem" before graduation last year... i was the only one who bet against myself. so NOT a good practice so for that, i've decided that everytime i put myself down, i will have to compensate)
10. stop thinking i'm being "haunted" by ____ ______. i'll just let him be my inspiration and leave it at that.
11. give myself a chance. (i figured that i keep focusing on my shortcomings. i'm going to try to NOT focus on them and just go, go, go and do my own thing in the best way i possibly can)
12. be more patient, disciplined, understanding, and nice.
13. don't let little irritations or bad events get me down (as i've always believed, as long as i'm not cursing, things are still ok)
14. figure out if law is really for me.
15. make every day His day.
16. finish the (literally..hehe) ton of books i've been planning to read since time immemorial.
17. find a worthwhile cause.
18. develop less-pasaway study habits.
19. become more productive.
20. live a healthier lifestyle
21. reduce my personal carbon emission to help combat against global warming (hehe, was inspired by an inconvenient truth)

long-term:
1. get my master's degree
2. find something i love to do and feel very passionate about and stick with it.
3. graduate from law school and pass the bar (assuming law is really for me(
4. reform the country's electoral system (or at least attempt to since tis really a tall order)
5. work with an NGO (either human rights-related or electoral/policy-reform)
6. travel the world (especially Cambodia and rest of Southeast Asia, Africa, the UK, Greece, Turkey, etc.)
7. end poverty (hehe..been reading a book my blockmate dianne gave me [thanks, dianne!] entitled the end of poverty by jeffrey sachs..very awe-inspiring) or at least help combat it.
8. develop some semblance of self-confidence.

it's only been a few days into the year and i'm very happy. i hope this keeps up. :)

oh yeah, i absolutely LOVE game nights! just had one with my blockmates. can't wait til the next! :)

Don't want to shrink in a suit
Don't want live just to suck someones bones dry
I'd rather die."
