I had a haircut! I chopped off the long hair and went for a really short haircut. Lighter head and less gastos with the shampoo! Hahaha!
A haircut is also a symbolic act of cutting off the bad vibes. That’s what I was also aiming for. Out na with the bad vibes so the good ones will come into my life. I really need a big dose of luck this year.
Happy new look to me!!!

Mine will focus on my weight and my finances. I will really have to do something about both.
What are yours?

I will go back to Hong Kong, that’s for sure! I may not go back with my friends with whom I spent close to three days with but I will go back this 2012. I love Hong Kong! I love that it feels like being in Binondo only with a better weather condition. I think the Chinese blood (25% only) in me felt at home there
Hopefully, the next time I go to Hong Kong it will be for Disneyland with the little girl and the whole fam!
The whole story of what went on during my Hong Kong trip will be for my next entry. Sorry, feeling a little bit lazy still…

I know my priorities. My family always comes first for me. Whatever I have are theirs and I truly work hard so that I can give them a better life…
But I do think there’s nothing wrong to having a little bit for myself, yes? Just a little time to relax and unwind and just think of ME and nobody else. Just 2 to 3 days of it, and a fraction of what I have.
I just feel so damn guilty whenever I have to go have a bit of fun without my family. I feel selfish doing it. I know I’m not selfish but I still feel like crap when I spend money on myself. Why have I let myself think and feel this way all these years?!? Now it’s so hard to get over this mentality.
Whatever.
I will spend time and money on myself. Just a little bit. I hope it’ll be worth it.
Have a great week everyone!

2012 is a very important year for me. Ever since I turned 18 I lived each day not for myself but for my family. I was thrust onto the role of the breadwinner. I helped send 4 siblings to school. The youngest is on his last year in college and I am really praying that he graduates by next year. After his graduation, that’s when I will permit myself to think about ME.
I have many plans. I plan to go back to school, do some traveling, enroll in a belly dancing class, make sure all insurance plans are in place, and move into a new home in a new neighborhood that is peaceful and quiet.
Those are just some of my 2012 plans. I plan to spend as much alone time as possible. I’ve been surrounded by so much noise and pressure all my life I think I am ready for stretches of quiet and uneventful days. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family. But if you come from a large family like me, you know that it gets overwhelming from time to time. You feel the need to get away from it all. I am hoping and praying that by the middle of 2012, I can already go anywhere I like at the drop of a hat. And be alone whenever I feel like it.
You know I don’t ask for too much. I don’t ask for an easy life actually (but if it will be given, why not? Haha!). I am just asking for a life with less worries and a bit more fun for me. More stable for the family. And sana a big fat savings account!

Yes, 2012 is travel year for me. I intend to go to places I have always wanted to explore and by my lonesome as much as possible. I’ve been working so hard the past couple of years and have been foregoing travel plans for more important family expenses. I would love to have time alone and I am really targeting 2012 as the year for me to do the traveling I’ve been postponing for years.
Can’t wait!
Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

2012 Plans
Saturday, September 17th, 2011
I have so many plans for 2012 that I thought I should write it all down and see where each plan goes. I want for each plan to be a success, of course, so I will writing up about all my 2012 Plans under the same tag. I will post a link on my sidebar, or create a badge for it for easy access. I want to be reminded of all my plans so I won’t lose focus and instead will work hard to achieve it.
One of my plans for 2012 is to go back to school. I don’t know if I will avail of an online degree program or will go back to university, most likely in UST my alma mater. I plan to study a web development course or something that I can add to my Accounting credentials. Maybe MIS. I am not sure yet what degree exactly it will be but that’s one of my plans for 2012.
***
For inspiration, I am researching online degree programs and Guide to Online Schools, such as this online web design degree course.
