I am soda-free again.
Been clean since 01/03/2009.
Okay, so it hasn't really been that long, and it's hardly considered a difficult feat to accomplish, but I'm still pretty happy for it. There'd been much temptation to slip over the past week and a half, and I've yet to falter. I'm doing this to test my willpower. If I succeed in kicking the "habit", I would feel even more empowered to make other beneficial changes. After all, isn't 2009 all about change?
Next up on the chopping block is CARBS.
I plan to cut all pastas, rice, bread, etc. I doubt that I can give up my beloved potato though...
Oh deary me, this is going to be SO difficult, you don't even understand. I live for carbs. So much so that I need to stop now. No time restraint, just going to take it slow. It never hurts to try!
This year is going to be no fun :P haha
Excelsior!
I don't really believe in New Year resolutions, since I feel that if you want to change something, there's no reason to wait for a new year to do it. But this year is different, I suppose. I've been fed up with myself for quite some time now, and I need to seize this opportunity of making a new start. I've gotten so sloppy. Attempts to change have been made, but they're still in their beginning stages and cannot be judged yet. To start, I've been cleaning my room. Bit by bit everyday. I've already gotten rid of that horrific desk that took up so much space. That felt good. I need to rid things. Like Oprah said, when you rid your environment of clutter, your life and body will eventually follow suit. I think this is it. I think 2009 is the year. If I do not succeed, and I wind up feeling the same about myself a year from now, I will go up a really tall building and jump off. Kiddingggggg.

CHRISTMAS!! my favorite :)i actually did wait until midnight to open my cards and presents last night. i don't really much care for material things, but i love the seeing the thought displayed through words and gestures. that's why i always ask for homemade gifts. this year was quite nice. everything i received was lovely and useful. for example, my sister and her BF got me a TomTom, which i certainly can use, seeing how i get lost so easily. i won't go on and on about the things i received, suffice it to say that i really really really loved and appreciated the thoughts & efforts & creativity that went into them :) it also meant a lot to me that some gifts were personally delivered to me while i was at work or at home. thank you <333we spent Christmas Eve at my aunt's house last night. then we went home, surprised our parents with the TV, and i got to enjoy the rest of the evening watching Judd Apatow movies and talking to Louie on the phone. as of this morning, i'm just chilling at home. i took tomorrow off, so i won't have work until Monday! very, very chill :) loving it to the max.Merry Christmas to all!
