25 Things to Do in 2005

I like making lists. And there's nothing more I like than making TO DO lists. Sometimes there are more checks than crosses. Sometimes, some things are just not possible or feasible to do anymore. Well, at least I put it there so I know what I really wanted, and I'm not so rigid as not to change my mind.



So here it is. What I plan to do in 2005.



1. Find a kindergarten teaching job (even if it's across the globe).

2. Be the kind of teacher I would want MY teacher to be.

3. Play more with Chewy, his days are numbered.

4. Have more patience, resilience (in teaching, Lola, and for #6).

5. Go to Palawan (Underground River, Honda Bay, Coron) and dive.

6. Look for True Love (hmmm...).

7. Resolve to be fit, if not lose some fat (to prepare for more strenuous activities).

8. Stay pretty, always (do not go out looking frumpy).

9. Take care of skin (facials & lotions), hair (relaxed) and feet (foot spas).

10. Be updated in movies, music and the current events.

11. Fly to somewhere exotic but out of the country, like Phnom Penh or Vientienne.

12. Save some, even if it's only for travels.

13. Try not to be too depressed at turning 29. (Gah! How can I not be?!?)

14. Go to Batanes, even if it takes one day to get there. (via land transport...tee hee.)

15. Wait patiently for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in July, Bob Ong's new book whenever, and read more books aside from bestsellers.

16. Don't forget to go out with old friends.

17. Do take inventory of clothes, shoes and bags before buying another.

18. Help initiate take off of Mom's (family) business.

19. Keep room tidy as I can make it.

20. Take care of Mad Max.

21. Regular breast check up every 6 months. (March, September)

22. Daydream less, go out more.

23. Don't judge a book by its cover. (Or, at least I'll try not to ask for pictures...)

24. Avoid loneliness-, desperation-inducing thoughts.

25. Volunteer.



Oh well, hopefully I can at least accomplish half, if not more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
