Thank you 2009. Welcome 2010!

Before 2009, I drafted my new year's wants and wishes, and a few resolution to myself. The 2009 resolution list included:

5. lessen my unsolicited commenting to people around me
(not that I comment bad, I just have to lessen!)
4. more time with kids and hubby
3. lessen shopping and saving more
2. getting a breather for 2009

and of course!

1. lessen my Coke intake.

Reviewing the resolutions I have made, I am convinced now that I have been a good girl. I was able to achieve them all, except I guess for number 2. 2009, although a difficult year was a busier one for me, thus, I didn't get a breather, and what I got me was an abused body, thus, before the year ended, the body asked for rest, and I am giving it one, now.

KG, like me, would like to totally ban Coke in her life. I know it is difficult, the reason why I cannot say totally ban, but lessen. This year, the same resolution goes for me. I believe I made good in my number 1 resolution last year, but this remains on my list until I am totally uninterested with that black water.

My 2009 wants/wish list included:

And how it came to be:

5. Buy a laptop. Check! Hubby's kuya
4. Buy our LCD TV. We already have a Sony Bravia! Yippee!
3. Buy new cabinets for our own house.
We did, by February, we already have new cabinets.
2. Buy a car. Check!
1. Move into our own house! Done!

Thank you 2009, although the year has been a difficult one, we still managed to hold still, and move on, and be hopeful for 2010.

For 2010 though, here goes my random wants and wishes.

1. Be debt-free before 2011.
2. Hopefully, to get myself a new job.
3. To discipline myself that a daily exercise is important.
4. Read as many books as I can.
5. To be more prayerful.
6. Save up for kids' schooling needs, as Tabebs will be entering pre-school this June.
7. Save up for a fat bank account, in order to get a chance to travel with the whole family.
8. Blog as often as I can.
9. Visit Mom ad Dad in Koronadal as often as we can.
10. Quality time with the family.

I wish I could accomplish all these things. I pray for a better year ahead of us. And before I end this year, allow me to thank you my friends for being with me and my family's roller coaster ride in 2009. You have been my inspiration why I keep blogging and pouring out what I feel in this online journal. It is your comments that make me think again about the negatives in life. I just wish you all the best this 2010, and may we all be prosperous!

Thank you so much!

From my family to yours, Happy New Year!


Love,

sHenG, Ric and kids!
