:: Life :: I resolve to remember my resolutions ::
Jan 16th 2007diyanazmanLife
In the attempt to curb my fear of frustration, my New Year resolutions for the past many-many years have always been To Be a Better Person. It’s very abstract, you see, so at the end of the year, when I ask myself about the success rate of the previous resolution and I can kelentong some really good answers to respond and satisfy myself.
Since my pretty self is also pretty smart so conning her isn’t exactly easy; had my resolution been To Wash My Car Regularly Myself, it is quite a challenge to reassure yours truly whilst indeed the car had been washed frequently; could that be me washing it? It is difficult to manipulate the mind into believing that that fella washing the car is myself when I am perfectly aware that my limbs are not as hairy, my chest are much more fleshy and my teeth are not as pearly as those Indian immigrants working at the Esso car wash.
Susah you see?
So I stick to the intangible resolution – To Be a Better Person. I can at any moment produce 1001 reasons why I am a better person this year than I was the last.
This year I allowed teenagers to call me Kak instead of shoving French Fries up their teenage nostrils. Walla! What an improvement!
Last year I washed my own socks, this year I washed my socks and Azman’s socks, I washed a whole lot more socks than ever! What a better person I have become!?
I have definitely achieved my resolution! Yeaa!!
But explaining this to my girlfriends is pointless. They are so bloody neat they are hoping to hear some meaty stuff like This Year I Will Work My Ass off Till I Get Promoted as the CEO or This Year I will Master Metaphysic and Apply It in My Socks Washing Chore.
Come to think about it having riskier resolutions are not so bad after all.
Why would I even bother to create an action plan against blewing away yet another perfectly vague New Year resolution when by June I would be dead convinced that I never even have any resolutions in the first place?????
* The mind is a very complicated thing *
Fine! Let me think of something fancy. Hmm!
My resolutions for the year of 2007 are; well I resolve to eat more vegetables and fruits. I will drink more than 2 glasses of water per day. I resolve to wash my face before I go to bed. I will finish a bottle of facial toner in the duration of one (1) year or before the product quality date expires. I will buy a sun block. Then I will use it everyday. I resolve to save more money. I will buy fewer earrings. I will exercise! I will climb a mountain. I will be Jessica Alba!!! I will name my baby Miki!! I will remember my resolutions!! I will! I will!

Hi thanks for dropping by my blog.
Your resolutions seems to be more on the health issues, which r good for u. But naming your baby Miki? U must be a racing fan if not fanatic? Or u r refering to that famous mouse? So when the baby due?
Easy to remember your resolution, print it, and stick it on your bathroom mirror…..
Have a great day!

Improving on my wifey duties is good enough.. 
I choose to be optimistic and be easily pleased… You will be happier that way! I dont have to wait till I manage to replace my proton to a bmw to be contented with myself…
Cheers!

Hello!
I live in USA, I’m 22 years old. I’ve just divorced from my husband and I feel a little down in these weeks. I try and stay calm so I don’t think about it all day long.
One of the things that I love to do is keep myself updated about new technologies like apple ebooks, mp3 player, camcorder, mobile phones. The last one is my favourite, I like to keep updated because it gives me great fun.
Perhaps once I will try a dating service, but I want no string attached, just pure fun and that’s it.
Thanks.
