Late New Year post...but it's CNY - so must still be appropriate. Stumbled upon this one in ThoughtCatalog and I must say, it's a preeetty good read. Not that I'm deviating to my 'practice what you preach' mantra, but achieving this is hardcore!
Comments inline :)
1. Before you status update, Tweet, Tumble or Instagram, pause and say to yourself 'is it entirely necessary that I share this morsel of though with my entire social network, and if the answer is not, 'yes, i must absolutely must', then - step away from the Internet
- Not hard. I think I learned 'filtering' these past few years.
2. Know which candidate you are going to vote for in the upcoming presidential election, and know why.
- Hmmmkay...I'll do a research once the names are in.
3. Enough with the 14-day juice cleanses. If you want to lose a little weight quickly, eat less and exercise like crazy. If you want to lose a lot of weight slowly, do whatever Jennifer Hudson did.
- Not familiar with the JHudson diet, but I'm running and doing yoga now so ----check!
4. If you really like the person you’re hooking up with and would like them to be your boyfriend/ girlfriend, find a way to tell them, and hope for the best. If you don’t and wouldn’t, stop.
- N/A Been in love with the same guy for almost 9 years now. Yun oh!
5. Find a way to save approximately 300 dollars and spend it on a flight to see a friend or family member who lives far away.
- Does going back to Manila counted? Flying back just for friends and their weddings - check ulit!
6. Please stop liking the Kardashians, all of them. It’s not helping anyone, least of all the Kardashians.
- I just recently started watching the Kardashians and liking them, pwede bigyan ng chance? Haha
7. Spend less than or equal to the money you earn each month.
- This, I have to work on :)
8. Wear clothes that fit you, especially to work.
- Dress to success baby!
9. Call someone on the phone at least once a week, and speak to him or her for at least ten minutes.
- Calling my mom and dance at least once a week to catch up
10. Start preparing now to get over the fact that Facebook is probably going to change again in six months. You’re not going to deactivate your account. You don’t know how.
- Not that I plan to. But FB is getting better with all the new features. Kudos to that!
11. Wait 30 seconds before you look up a fact you can’t remember on your phone, and try to remember it using your brain. This is what the olden days were like.
- This is really hard! Google is my best friend and I have no plans to burn bridges. Will try though.
12. Replace one terrible reality show you’re currently watching with one wonderful scripted show currently available on television. Swap suggestion: Real Housewives of Anywhere for HBO’s Enlightened.
- I finished Jersey Shore till season 4. It was fun so wont be able to get over reality shows. That is where the drama's at. I'm watching a whole heap of other stuff. How To Make It in America is a good HBO series as well.
13. Try that food you think you don’t like but have never actually tried, unless it’s brussels sprouts. They really don’t need any more attention.
- Not adventurous on food though. Soooo...will try this year na lang. No promises.
14. Cut one person out of your life who you truly do not like and add one person who you truly do. Note: not on Facebook, on Earth.
- Really? I thought one of life's purpose is to forgive and forget not to cut someone off.
15. If you’re still blacking out regularly, you should stop.
- Nah.
16. Volunteer once over the next 90 days. You’ll feel really good about it, and probably end up volunteering again over the next 275.
- Good idea. Might as well try being the Good Samaritan every now and then.
17. Tell someone who you love that you love them on a more regular basis. To their face, not in a text.
- Been doing that :)
18. Back up your entire online life onto an external hard drive, especially your photos.
- Panic attack! Will.do.it.NOW!
19. Crap or get off the pot. This applies to whatever thing you’re not doing that you should just sack up and do already.
- Back to blogging. Been neglecting it and it's time to go back!
20. And in the eternal words of Tom Haverford, “TREAT YO SELF!”
- This is easy! I can do it everyday!
Out of 20, I need to work on 10 things. Not bad! :)
So this 2012 Year of the Water Dragon, what do you need to work on? Challenge the list! :)
