10 Things I Want To Do In 2009
Happy New Year!
Instead of the usual New Year’s Resolutions (that I know I will not be able to do, again), I’m happily creating this “to do” checklist. I hope it not only helps to improve some things that need improving on the personal front, but will allow me to actually get some things done this coming year.
Wish me luck!
1. Update All of My Blogs. 2008 had been an “overwhelming” year for my creative muse. Once I got my own hosting service, there was no turning back. I started to migrate and consolidate my blogs everywhere, added some new ones, as well as forayed into the sponsored posts business. However, it got to a point where I began to unintentionally sacrifice content and actually felt the beginnings of a blogging burn-out. But no, I know that all it takes is a bit of streamlining and time management. I’m going to keep at it this year until I get it all done. Promise!
2. Relaunch WifeSpeaks. WifeSpeaks is a great blog (if I do say so myself) that I share with a group of wonderful women. The basic premise of this blog is to become a special online resource for women to share experiences about wifehood and everything else that goes with it. Unfortunately, the site has been in hibernation for a while due to some changes that we wanted to do on the site. Hopefully, we could get to re-launch it with new and exciting stuff for our readers, with a new look, and on a new platform.
3. Move to a New (and Hopefully More Permanent) Home. Here’s wishing for roots. Be it back in the Philippines or someplace else, I’d really appreciate some stability if only for my school-age daughter. We’ve already planted the seeds (so to speak) so I know things will bear fruit in 09.
4. Turn Ninna into a Big Sister. You read that right. I’ve been wanting to do this since 2007 but everything had been hinged on #3 and I guess it wasn’t yet meant to be. So, if #3 pans out, so will my tummy. Promise!
5. Make Some Moolah. I have been looking into some small business opportunities but just never had the guts and the timing to push it through.This year, economy willing, I may just finally go for it.
6. Vacation in the Philippines. Two years without coming home to visit is just too much! I have to have my food, my shopping, my luxe spa, my beach, and my mountains. But most of all, I have to have my family!
7. See A Doctor. To get a full physical check-up. I have not been able to do this last year. And the other year, too. (yikes!) I really, really have to do this so I can better prepare for my #4.
8. Visit My Sis in Seattle. Hopefully in the summer. I know she’ll set me up with free accommodations at a certain 5-star hotel for my stay. *ehem ehem*
9. Take Up A Sport. Not competitive eating, I hope. Hehe!
10. Make A Conscious Effort To Be More Positive! I know I succumb to the usual negativity, 2008 being an especially difficult one in all fairness. But the new year has already started promisingly for us so I just need to keep this happy vibe going.
How about you? What are you looking forward to doing in 2009?
