Half of the year is almost done. And I found my To do List for 2005 when I was going through my previous entries. Here's a quick check of where I stand. (And should there be changes???)
So here it is. What I plan to do in 2005.
1. Find a kindergarten teaching job (even if it's across the globe). - Oops. Changed my mind about kindergarten. It isn't as easy as I thought. And another oops. No job come June. :( (-2 points for the two jobs I didn't accept, just because it was Math.)
2. Be the kind of teacher I would want MY teacher to be. - At least during practice teaching, I think, I believe, I'm improving. (.5 point)
3. Play more with Chewy, his days are numbered. - Hmm, Chewy doesn't like to play. But then, I can try, right? (.5 point)
4. Have more patience, resilience (in teaching, Lola, and for #6). - Hah. If whining endlessly can be called patient, then, yes I was patient. (2 points)
5. Go to Palawan (Underground River, Honda Bay, Coron) and dive. - Still have half the year to do this. (0 points)
6. Look for True Love (hmmm...). - I'm trying! (0 point for lack of results, 1 point for trying)
7. Resolve to be fit, if not lose some fat (to prepare for more strenuous activities). - Geesh, Im depressed okay. That's my excuse. (-1 point for making excuses)
8. Stay pretty, always (do not go out looking frumpy). - As always. (1 point for shopping for great clothes - to look pretty - in Divisoria)
9. Take care of skin (facials & lotions), hair (relaxed) and feet (foot spas). - Gah. My feet is ugly. (0 point)
10. Be updated in movies, music and the current events. - This is being done religiously. (4 points for keeping abreast with things even though there are more important things to do. Hehe. This point system doesn't make sense.)
11. Fly to somewhere exotic but out of the country, like Phnom Penh or Vientienne. - Moved to 2006 (0 points)
12. Save some, even if it's only for travels. - Don't have money to go to Banawe. Need I say more? (-1 point)
13. Try not to be too depressed at turning 29. (Gah! How can I not be?!?) - Yes, how can I not be? (-.5 for feeling depressed way before turning 29)
14. Go to Batanes, even if it takes one day to get there. (via land transport...tee hee.) - Palawan first before Batanes. So moved to 2006. (0 points)
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. - Already bough Bob Ong's seemingly children's book, and already reserved my copy of HP and the HBP. Yey! Can't wait! (2 solid points)
16. Don't forget to go out with old friends. - I don't. It's just that they're too busy. Oh well, at least I'm trying. (2 points for constantly bugging Hedda and Joann, RV, and Arno to meet up)
17. Do take inventory of clothes, shoes and bags before buying another. - Oops. (-1 point for the mess that is my closet)
18. Help initiate take off of Mom's (family) business. - I'm helping. I'm doing more this year. Since I don't have a job, I have to earn my keep somehow. (2 points so far for this item)
19. Keep room tidy as I can make it. - Failed, have I. (-1 point for lousy Yoda attempt)
20. Take care of Mad Max. - Gah. I tried. IT's the man's fault, not mine. Honestly. (-1 point)
21. Regular breast check up every 6 months. (March, September) - Wee. The March Miracle Check up. Great. (2 points for praying)
22. Daydream less, go out more. - I'll just deduct point, no explanations needed. (-1 point)
23. Don't judge a book by its cover. (Or, at least I'll try not to ask for pictures...) - oh yes, I've tried. (1 point for trying)
24. Avoid loneliness-, desperation-inducing thoughts. - Failed again. I just allowed myself to go through a 2-week depression-filled, self-pitying state. Sheesh. (-2 points)
25. Volunteer. - made the first tiny step. (.5 point)
Not bad.
A total of 8 points.
Out of 25.
I think that's bad.
Oh well.
Need to work double time.

* A friend told me that 'buti ka pa di napapagod makipag date', at a time when I'm trying hard to recover from a personal slump. It's like telling a recovering drug addict, buti ka pa, you can say no to drugs.
