me and 2008

i promised myself i'll be posting my goals, dreams, hopes, resolutions for this year before the month of February begins... haha, huli man at magaling, naihahabol pa rin :-P here it goes....

........

FAMILY
kuya's in the US, me here in Japan, tay, nay and ate in pilipins... it's hard to be away from my family especially now at their age na prone sa pagkakasakit... tatay even told me mas gusto nyang nasa pilipinas lang kami at magkakasama pero he understands naman na being away from them will build our character, our personality... besides it doesn't mean we'll forget them... anyway, since we have a house in bulacan na naparenovate na ung kitchen and bathroom, will help my parents w/ the finances. then pag nabuo na, gusto ko lipat na sila dun for good and give up the apartment in manila para buo na talaga ung pagr-retire nila :-D

WORK
zutto nsp! nyahahaha... well i took a big step in accepting the intra offer here in japan... and not primarily because of money, more on testing myself, knowing myself, being independent... i get homesick once in a while pero nakalagpas na ko sa "stress due to homesickness" stage :-P i still count the days once in a while, but then it's nice to be here also and going to places... nihongo? well, nagimprove kahit papano demo nihongo wo amari iimasen... i hope to pass level 3, and i'll try to take level 2 hehehe... :-P as for work itself... it's tough pero supportive naman both n$p and nC0$ groupmates ;)) my work goal? ask me again after 3 1/2 years :-P

HEALTH
i hate winter. got me sick for the 1st time here in japan :-P but other than that, oks naman ako... wala lang sports sa katawan lately, pero puro lakad naman ;)) i just have to maintain my current weight which is normal naman at di overweight :-P eat right, eat veggies, drink at least 8 glasses of water... the usual health stuffs... mahirap magkasakit ksi dito sa japan... so dapat, itsumo genkicar :->

LEISURE
i will budget my money and allocate portions of it for my personal leisure meaning sightseeing, tours and UFO Catcher =))

CHARITY
i will allocate more budget in donating to charity. But i'm still figuring out how to do it while i'm here :-P

FRIENDS
i'm blessed to have wonderful friends... college berks, nsp lunchberks++ at ung 300+ friendsters ko... it's really nice ksi kahit geographically scatterd kami, we find time to communicate once in a while :-D at syempre, i found new (and old) friends also here in japan, pinoy at hapon! hihihi... mai's being here also made my japan stay easy since i got a big sister here... but wait there's more... ria's here also plus lolo and my 7 jap boylets, este groupmates ;)) i hope malayo man o malapit, oks pa rin kami ^_^

MONEY
budget budget budget... dapat marunong ng magbudget :-P aside from our house renovation, i would like to invest my money into something "katas ng japan" asset =)) a car (di naman ako marunong magdrive...) a house (well oks naman ung bahay sa bulacan)... hmm, basta ngaun iipunin ko muna ksi baba ng exhange rate eh hihi...

LOVE
enough said :| hahaha, joke... well as promised dun sa last blog entry ko... i will open up about this... hmm... pano ko ba uumpisahan... :-?

as part of me taking chances in my other aspects in life... i guess i'll take chances na rin sa aking love life... for many years, i have shielded my heart from heartaches and traumas... kuya even advised me to lower down my guard to at least let someone have a little peek on me :-P

and i did... and i pray that one day, he will completely conquer my heart ^_^
........

but of course... "i can do all things through Him who strenghtens me"... all challenges, goals, truimphs, heartaches, sorrows, happiness at marami pang iba na nararamdaman ko ay dahil sa mga blessings Niya sa kin... super bait ni Lord... and i'm really grateful because kahit pasaway ako minsan, lagi lang Siya andyan :-)

again, kahit huli... i'm still looking forward to a happy, challenging, romantic (?), fruitful and rich new year! ^_^
