Take Every Chance. Drop Every Fear. Keep Going.: January 2014

I didn't get into the Christmas spirit last 2013, same with New Year. Aside from being SOOOOO busy (being a Teacher ain't a joke. I tell you), I've also been trying to focus on other things. But don't get me wrong, because I still do love Christmas & New Year :) 2013 has seemed to drag on for me. From 'those people I expected the most' , to "those people who let me down the most'.

With that said, I do have some resolutions for 2014...Yes. GOALS.

1. READ MORE BOOKS.

I don't want to waste my time anymore in stuffs that doesn't really makes sense. Like daydreaming & thinking & wondering on every single thing that's happening to my life. I don't want to over analyze simple things anymore. So instead of doing nothing, i will read books. I will try my best to read as many GOOD books as I can. No matter how busy I am, I really need to make time for it :)

2. TAKE PICTURES. CAPTURE AWESOME MOMENTS.

I can't emphasize enough how much I want to do this. I missed out so many amazing shots last year, wonderful moments...So now I'm going to take as many pictures as I want to. I want to have different insights to things by taking pictures.

Taking pictures. Keeping memories :)

3. Exude confidence ! Fake it until you make it !

Note to self:

Stop being unhappy with yourself. BE CONFIDENT OF WHO YOU ARE. SMILE. Screw other people.

"I am better than I allow myself to believe I am.

I am better than locking myself away in a single-room and not telling anybody that I can’t stand it or anyone around me, even when they ask. I am better than getting told “I’m sorry” every other day by someone who sure will say they’re here to help when I do confess my problems and self-harming behavior, but aren't anywhere to be found when push comes to shove. Most importantly, I am better than allowing myself to suffer like that because, ultimately, I am the one in control. I am an awesome person, and I deserve to be treated as such … especially by my own goddamn self."

4. Don't get too attached to people.

Never give permanent feelings to a temporary person.

Don't get too attached to people. Coz like most everyone else, at some point, they will leave you. Sad, but true. Not because they dislike you, but because they have greater priorities that you won't able to compare against.

5. I'll no longer let people walk all over me.

*NO EXPLANATION NEEDED.

6. LAUGH MORE, WORRY LESS.

I deserve to be happy. So I'm going to be happy :) There may be sad things, but with God in my life, I know I can handle all things, because God loves me. I will focus on things that really matters, & let go all of those things that I know will never help me.. Be strong& try my best to not let anxiety win over me.

I want to enjoy life more. NO PRESSURES. NO DRAMAS. I want to be more positive about life. and most importantly, I WANT TO BE ME. & I want to be happy with that :) I will try to do things for myself & not for other people. I will not try to be someone else. I WILL DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY. I WILL DO WHAT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. Screw what other people think. I will just simply enjoy life. This year, POSITIVENESS will commence. :)

7. LIVE.

Live with passion. Live with wonder. Live with joy. Live with hope. Live with GOD :)

2013 wasn't my best year. But it was a year filled with new lessons, adventures and new opportunities :)
Life is an amazing book where God is the author & we are the pen working together to write something beautiful. So I am looking forward to write a good one for me.

New Year is the start of a new chapter of our lives. I love New Year It makes me stop from everything & appreciate what has been done over the past year & gives us all a fresh new start. :) All the triumphs and failures. Mistakes & lessons. Thinking of all those times, it gives me courage to be able to live my life to the fullest. I am also thankful for those people who became part of my 2013. They really helped me a lot. Whether they did something good or bad to me, I am very grateful, for without them, I will never be the person I am right now. This time, a BETTER person, with a purpose-driven in life. I thank God for the year that he has given me & my family, & I look forward to the year ahead. With my FAMILY, with my FRIENDS, & with the NEW people around me. New people that I will encounter, EVERYONE. I am looking forward to it. I want to have a blast this year. I want to prove something. But this time, NOT TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT TO MYSELF. It's time to start making new memories, new experiences, new lessons, & greater glories. There is beauty in new beginnings. :)
