New Year again!?
It seems to happen quite often. And every year everybody is so optimistic, especially if you see those who appear in TV. Waw, so happy.
If it sounds like I’m sarcastic, I’m not. I just hope the optimisms are rewarded. Really. Peace. Peace.
This year, we gathered with friends and did super long dinner and count down together. Make new friends and have stronger bonds with old friends, I think it’s very nice. Instead of wild party, we shared stories and pictures about our lives, hobbies and passions.
We do agree in one thing though, that New Year Resolution almost never works.
For me, I keep having the same one year to year until I stop having it. It’s the same anyway. There was only one glorious year that I manage to make half of it come true, half of the crappy and easy ones.
Actually, why is it hard to fulfill the New Year Resolution? Probably
1. Optimism
Writing down is easy, especially when I have big piece of blank paper. So I just write whatever fancy things I need to do. Even by the time I write it, I have big doubt in my head, but whatta hell, just whackkk..
On the other hand, if I’m too lazy just to write it, there is no way I’m going to do that..teo bo..
2. The span of a year.
It’s too long for resolution. It’s like working without deadline. The motivation is unclear, the timeline is unclear. When it’s not done, it won’t be done soon or longer. There are tomorrows, save some for tomorrow, I still have plenty of time etc etc etc..
3. Fun list
I only make fun list. I won’t put something like, I have to have promotion or be a director or earn something something in my resolution, what’s the point… Maybe it’s suitable for some ambitious people, but not for me. It doesn’t work in positive way.
So I only put fun list, and fun list does not contain pressure to finish, and fun list also expensive, and having fun contain having company like hubby, friends, parents, siblings so I have to match with their list also.
So I think, I just see what comes my way and do what I please. That would be my New Year Resolution. J
I think it’s more important to be grateful with the great 2007, I do!
I made many new friends from my ex-company, my classmates; it was a great year for friendship.
I went to many places and countries I had never gone before; it’s a great year for my mental recharging.
It’s a good year for changes, I made two very major decisions that I hope will change my life in a good way.
I did new things, I saw new stuffs, I ate new food, I play new games, I have new shoes (believe me it’s an achievement for me!)
I turned 30!
And the most important, I have my family, healthy and happy.
Welcome 2008, with less days in a year, less disaster, less war, less corruption, less disease, less pollution, less hypocrisy and less bad TV!
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
