The 2015 To-Do List

January 10, 2015

2015 goals

I can already imagine what my sister would think once she sees my to-do list. She’d probably say I should scrap everything on the list and prioritize on getting a better handwriting. Heh.

There are actually many things I want to try this year, such as calligraphy and lettering. But alas, handwriting is one of my weaknesses, and I should just focus on things that I know I can actually accomplish.

2015 is a year of promise, and I cannot wait to fulfill my plans one at a time. I will definitely struggle, and even for that, I cannot wait. I am often deluded into wanting too many things at once, and end up accomplishing too little. This year, I’m trying to dream less but bigger. I don’t want to feel rushed, and I have to constantly remind myself that everything will turn out fine—in its own time.

I’m pretty sure that I can accomplish most of these goals this year, if only I’ll learn to focus and to stop procrastinating. Also, to stop watching MasterChef everyday.

And it is turning out great, mostly because my vacation was extended for another week and on the brink of another more. The past week has been a great time to unwind from the chaotic holiday season and to think things through. I managed to lay out my  goals for the year and to visualize a 6-year plan.

I’m excited because this is the first time I’ve thought so far ahead. I’m just often planning what to watch during the weekend. It was almost unheard of to plan what I want to do for the next year! But 6 years? I just hope I’ll be able to pull it off. It won’t see the light of the internet, though, because it’s way too personal. I’m trying not to prove some people’s claim that my life is an open book. HEHEHE.

So here are my 2015 goals! I managed to cut it down to only nine, which is an accomplishment in itself. [Read more…]

Thank You, 2014

January 3, 2015

2014

2014 has come and gone, and I only have gratefulness in my heart. It’s not the easiest year, but it’s still one of the bests.

I started the year with more questions than answers. It was a tough start since my family was going through a difficult time after losing my grandfather before the New Year. It was followed by a series of missteps and misfortunes that trailed behind us until the end of the year.

I may be the youngest, but I’m from a family-centered clan. We bear each other’s worries, and I cannot, for the life of me, separate myself from the troubles my family is going through. Yet, I spent a hefty amount of time moping and losing more and more of my self-esteem in the process of  figuring out what’s in store for me in the future. Also, I realized that I want a life completely different from the life I’m living. Even now, I still don’t know how to get there without starving or disappointing everyone.

Thankfully, I approached the new year with higher spirits, but still terrified of the recent choices I made. The year wasn’t so bad, though. There were a lot of first times and I had more opportunity to travel more than ever.

After all the questions and worries that I go through on a daily basis, I still go to bed thankful and happy. I have so much to be grateful for that it’s impossible that life is horrible. Because really, there’s nothing more wonderful coming home to my own bed and knowing that there’s a place that will always make me feel I belong.

My heart is full of gratitude for such a wonderful 2014, and I can only pray that I still feel this way by the end of this year.

The Delusional Christmas Wishlist

November 26, 2014

2014 christmas wishlist

This might be the shortest wishlist I will ever write, but it doesn’t mean it’s the cheapest!

I came up with a timeline of my upcoming expenses in 2015. Basically, I have plotted out when I’d buy everything on this list. Just thinking about it made me wonder if I was thinking sane. At this point, I’m starting to think I won’t be able to afford anything on this list. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with hoping/planning, right?

Financially, 2014 has been incredibly difficult (what year wasn’t?!).  Maybe it comes with age, maybe because I really don’t know how to handle my money. But money comes as quickly as it goes. One minute it’s the start of 2014 and I’m figuring out how to save more, the next it’s the end of 2014 and I’m struggling more than ever. Then again, I’ve always been an impulsive buyer.

On a more positive note, I’ve crossed out quite a lot from my birthday wishlist! Oh, so that’s where my money went! [Read more…]

Hello, I'm Janey. I'm a fangirl, a bookworm, a dreamer and a wannabe writer. I'm a couch potato and a traveler rolled into one.
This is my lame attempt to be a travel blogger, but honestly, this is just an archive of my daily reality.
