TODAY marks the start of a new year (well, yeah, for the Chinese community, but hey~ who says I can't join their celebration by having my own 'stuff' for CNY).
Having to reflect about what happened to my first month of 2014, I'd like to describe it as a really tragic month. I have experienced worst of the worsts (I know you would understand if I won't be narrating much of the stories behind it). But then I managed to get through it all by faith and optimism. Before 2013 ends, I came up with a list of goals to which, I, clearly, didn't have any progress with- atleast for January. I know I should not be making excuses for not having any 'tiny step' towards the realization of it, but hate to admit it, I did nothing. Now is the time to realign them. It's as if I'm starting anew.
8 GOALS FOR 2014
*Drumroll please! Followed by a very enthusiastic 'YAAAY!'*
(in no particular order)
1. I am a real estate broker. (Or atleast exploring careers in the real estate industry). Both mom and dad are in this field, and I think it's about time to learn their craft this year.
2. I am knowledgeable in online marketing. I always have this burning desire for marketing, and since I spend most of my time online, why not dig deeper into knowing what online marketing is all about: SEOs, links, analytics, RSS feeds, blogs, etc.
3. I am an entrepreneur and an events organizer! This coming summer, I am looking at being really productive by having to manage our own 'mum and pup' resort and have a seasonal restaurant in operation. My primary objective (initially) is to get my bills paid since there won't be any teaching units available for me this summer, I assume. This could be a good progress check of my graduate school learnings!
4. I am financially wise. This friend of mine taught me this 'technique' in saving up. I will definitely try this on and see where it will lead me. I was always in a financial 'stress' the past years and I keep on blaming my decision to pursue my graduate studies in an expensive school. Not playing the blame game this time, because I will be more matured financially, at the very least.
5. I am a freelance writer. I have been thinking of trying this online writing job for the longest time. But I don't know if I'm just not that confident enough to try it or what. But this year, I will definitely try it. Added channel of financial resource, at the same time, taking advantage of my strength-love for writing, I suppose. (~Yeah, I'm doing some SWOT analysis here. :D) But aside from that online freelance writing thing, I'd love to write/contribute to whatever, wherever publication, be it online or not, with monetary remuneration or none.
6. I am a blogger. This goal is in relation to my love for writing. But I want this goal to be focused in this blog. I may not have a 'great' number of viewer, but I want this blog to be my online 'journal' of how I lived and viewed 'life' and other stuff under the sun. I just do hope Blogger won't end up like those of 'Friendster' and 'Multiply'. Every month, I am aiming to post atleast 1-2 blog entries, any topic under the sun, just to keep this site going. Will try also to apply my online marketing learnings here.
7. I am a tour guide of Intramuros. Inspired by its century-old beauty and historical remnants, it is always my heart's desire to tell the story behind the Walled City of Intramuros. But ofcourse, before I tell that 'story', I would have to do some readings and research. This year, I am definitely hosting my own tour of Intramuros!
8. I am working on my French dream! <3 Some 4 years ago, out of frustration about my first job (and 'immersion' to Dan Brown's literature), I made a goal: SET FOOT TO LOUVRE MUSEUM by the age of 25. I don't know how will that dream become possible but I am very hopeful that by 25, it shall come true. This year, in 'pursuance' to that dream, I am reviewing my 'college' French lessons. It is making me feel like my French dream is just a few sleeps away. "Je reve d'aller a Musee de Louvre"
I purposely used present tense because I believe in LAW OF ATTRACTION.
You reap what you sow. Generosity leads to prosperity. Gratitude leads to abundance. :)

This entry is a personal REMINDER for me to KEEP SWIMMING.
Just keep swimming.. Just keep swimming.. Just keep swimming..
