The First 20 Days of 2010
21 Jan
I just love my notebook planner and my desktop planner! Because I took time to buy both last year, I am now able to keep track of my activities, appointments, tasks, errands, and even my expenses.
I scanned the entries in my planners earlier and I was all smiles because I was reminded of all the things I did in the past 20 days- the movies I watched, the places I’ve been to, the books I read, and even my mood when I wrote the entries. It’s like reliving the experiences all over again.
Here are the highlights of my life for the first 20 days of 2010:
- Blog Updates. I have updates at Han Mania, this blog (obviously!), Losing 30 Pounds, and Ward Class. I also wrote a couple of articles for Lyle’s nursing blog, Pinoy R.N.
- New Blogs. Finally, the blogging projects have materialized. I have added Asian Fashion Trends and Get Prettified! to my growing list of blogs.
- Blogging-related meetings. Davao Bloggers and Avatar Media have started the ball rolling. 2010 will definitely be a fun year.
- Failed Purchase. I purchased the Torque DL85, something I regret doing.
- New pet. I will never forget the day Babbit, my dwaejji-tokki (Pig Rabbit) finally arrived. But I wonder if my pet rock, Peeball, is the least bit happy.
- Movie marathons. Thanks to Lyle, I watched Bride Wars, Frequency, Rounders, and 17 again. At home, I watched He’s Just Not That Into You and Spread and have replayed a couple of scenes more than twenty times. I really need more of Justin Long, Matt Damon, and Ashton Kutcher! Also, throw in Zac Efron…wait, is he even legal?
- American Idol Season 9. Finally, the show’s on again. I love the fact that I’ll have my weekly dose of Simon Cowell.
- Ebooks and Audiobooks. I finished reading Harvard Lampoon’s Nightlight and found it quite entertaining. It is a parody of Meyer’s Twilight so I don’t think you’ll enjoy the read if you haven’t read the cheesiest vampire novel ever written. I also started on Skinny Bitch but for some reason, I fall asleep after a few pages.
- Health & Fitness pact. A couple of days ago, I forged a badminton pact with blogger friends. We promised to play badminton 1 to 2 times per week. We already had our first 2-hour badminton session last January 19 and so far, we are loving it. I am also sticking to a personal No Red Meat policy because I really want to be healthier this year.
In a nutshell, it has been a good start for me. There were significant lows these past 20 days but I refuse to mope or wallow in dejection. I know there are times when people thrive on drama and all the emo stuff and I have done that. But for this year, I choose to be happy, proactive, and optimistic despite the setbacks.
Congratulations on your achievements! Hooray for the blog updates! Cheers for the movie marathons! Thumbs up for the weight loss! 5 stars for the rabbit doll (is that a crossbreed rabbit-pig?) Haha!
Babbit is a cross between a pig and a rabbit and is a result of a surgery performed by the leader of a fictional boy band.
By the way, best wishes for Technochase!
Ohaithur, Babbit!
Anyway, goodluck to your articles, new blogs, Avatar media, and to The Pact. Fighting! Awts.
