GOAL #6:
Be less snappy. I’ve always had this
snobbish and intimidating reputation. It has its advantages, but when I find
myself being unnecessarily snappy at people, I am turned off by my own self.
Haha! I don’t know if being more mellow will affect my intimidating aura, but
I’d rather that I relate to people much more nicer.
Passing Grade /
Ultimate Goal: Again, I do not know how to measure
this. Do I count the times I find myself snapping back to people? Haha! I will
just try my best to be less snappy in general.
GOAL #7:
Travel! I have this theory that the
reason that I am such into geography is that when my Mama was still pregnant
with me, they traveled Europe (courtesy of Papa’s former company in Nigeria).
It has always been my dream to “see and experience” the world out there!
Knowing the capitals just isn’t enough. Haha! Now that I am working I should be
able to start fulfilling this dream already. I know this takes money, so having
Goal #5 in mind, I should start simple and travel to local places first before
I go Dora the Explorer on the world out there. Haha! Besides, it’s more fun in
the Philippines!
Passing Grade:
Travel to 3 places I’ve never been to. I already went to Tagaytay last week, so
2 more places and I’m good.
Ultimate Goal:
Travel to 6 places I’ve never been to. 5 more to go! Hehe!
GOAL #8: Read 10
books. I want to reignite my passion for
reading this year. For many, many years now, I rarely read books. I still read
a lot of stuff, like in the internet and magazines, but there’s certain
fulfillment when you get to finish an actual book. I miss the smell of the
pages!
Passing Grade: Read
7 books. E-books should not count.
Ultimate Goal: 10
books. I already have 4 books, I’d have to find 6 more books to read! Any
suggestions?
GOAL #9: Watch 100
movies. Last year, I started listing the
movies I get to watch. I was only able to watch 81 movies. During my
post-college vacation, I was able to watch many flicks, but when I started
working already, I barely had the time. Well, I still had enough time. It’s
just that I watch too many TV series as well, haha! So that’s another story. But
this year, I have more time and so I think I can totally reach the goal!
Passing Grade:
Watch more than 81 movies. At least it would be more than before.
Ultimate Goal: 100
movies.
GOAL #10: Find the
Game-Changer. I used to call this shtick “The One
Who Will Make Me Eat Isaw”, or “The One” for short. But then, back in 2009, my
college friends threw me a surprise “Isaw Birthday Party” and so I was “forced”
to eat isaw. Haha! So this time, instead of looking for “The One”, I will be
looking for “The Game Changer”. Why “Game-Changer”? I’ve been single for many
years now and I have learned to master it, haha! It’s time to level up the ante
and go to the next level. I know I am more than ready. All I need is to find
her – the one will change this game called life forever. Char. Hahaha.
There is no passing
grade. The Ultimate Goal is not ultimate for nothing. Haha! Find the
Game-Changer!
To
be honest, I am already worried about meeting some of these goals, haha!
Because some of them have conflict of interests with the others (i.e., Goal #5
is a detrimental to Goal #7 and possibly Goal #10, haha!). But therein lies the
excitement, right? Some things are just worth sacrificing for. ;D
