The (Annual) New Years Wishlist

Eventhough i'm supposed to be saving money... i realized that i manage to buy nearly everything on my 2006 xmas wishlist.. (wat an achievement...) so i might as well make a list and see wat i can do about it.

1. Adidas Jersey Jacket
Price: Around $30-60....
Why: It just looks so damn hot... and its winter...i need a jacket.. plus it can always serve as a chilling jacket for autmn and spring...(heck it'd look good any season...i love adidas


2. Electric/ Acoustic Guitar
Price: Probably around $200
Why: So i can be jamming with you

3. iPod Speakers
Price: I got mine for $20
Why: Louder tunes, a way to wake up without having to hear that annoying alarm sound of your phone..


4. iPod + Nike Kit
Price: Probably really expensive
Why: I love running, i need new running shoes, it looks sweet..... really really sweet


5. iPod Touch
Price: Currently around $499, hopefully will reduce
Why: A fine way to updrade my Ipod Nano (which is starting to get alittle weathered...) And plus, touchscreen is always sweet plus 16GB of songs.....awesome


6. iPhone and a proper phone plan
Price: I dunno... alot?
Why
: Cuz i need to not spend 15c per textmessage and an iPhone looks really cool....or maybe i'm just into the whole hype... but i DOES look sweet...(and i'm a dope for the touchscreen.. don't get me strted on how much fun it is the press the touchscreen creditcard swiping machine at the store)



Yea, bascailly Apple keeps doing it, more and more ingenious and innovating designs and ideas. They keep taking our money too but thats fine...

So what can i say about 2007? Pretty much one of my best years i guess... its been a roller coaster ride if i may borrow a phrase from the cliche dictionary. I mean it started off with meeting the kentucky guys, went on to spending quality time with the INTI gang, continued in a whole different continent and with completely different ppl, and now it ends. What can i say, its really been a year of personal growth...

Somehow, i feel like the same person i was at the start of the year though now i seems i understand myself alot more. I'm not going to lie, autumn quarter was spent thinking for myself. I really concentrated on my life issues alot, perhaps nearing a narcissistic level, but nevertheless, i learned a great deal about myself and now i hope i'm back on track (to that selfless, loyal, i-will-give-my-life-for-you kinda guy ...haha... yes i said it)
Sometimes its better to ignore your problems and indulge yourself in those of others and help them out along the way. After all, the problems of others are probably more important than your own.

Life hopefully returns to normal..and when i say that, i mean it'll be different from autumn. It's be a new year, a new leaf, hopefully new friendships and possibly more ;)
(Ah... i have found someone i truly adore...but wat will arise from that.. i don't know)
My new year's resolution??
Lose more weight...become happier....get straight As in everything...become closer friends with the ppl who mean something to you and stay close with those who already ahve a place in my heart.....
well basically the same things as last year rite???
maybe a few addtions like A) Get into the exercise science program B) Get a scholarship C) Get more research positions C) Save money D) Study or Work abroad this summer...... which also happens to be my to do list


Well hopefully i achieve these goals... i kinda did for my 2007 ones... but at least i know that it was a year thats lost for cause...
Happy New year everyone! |

Winter is coming....

i've been thinking that i've been really self-centered in my thoughts lately.. well over the whole of last quarter... and i was never like that (well at least i thought so). I used to be happy with everyone else being happy, but now i'm asking alot for myself.
I dunno, i need to go bak to the way i was... and i thought u about... if i had to be unhappy so that everyone else will be happy.. i'd do it... really it isn't so bad anymore... |
