❄ Merry Christmas, all! ❄

I hope you have all done your last-minute Christmas shopping! ;) I went out today on a shopping trip and boy, was it crowded at Coach (and everywhere else)!

Every year, I make a point to send Christmas cards the old-fashioned way to people I don’t get to see often, and to my law lecturers and school directors. I picked these up yesterday. My favourite’s the one of Santa’s wife chiding him for not having Christmas off, LOL!

2011 is fast approaching. Before I welcome yet another brand new year, let me make a list of resolutions (and hopefully stick to it)! *fingers crossed*

In 2011, I resolve to…

1. Worry less, relax more

I find myself worrying about something all the time. I think it could be due to my occupation, or perhaps, myself. For the sake of my (mental and physical) health, I shall worry less and relax more.

2. Complain less, appreciate more

How often do you find yourself complaining about something? Every day? Every other day? Once a week? Honestly, I don’t keep track of the stuff I complain about, but I believe they usually relate to insignificant things. I hope to reduce negativity by complaining less and being more appreciative of life.

3. Contemplate, contemplate, contemplate

How many hasty decisions have you made this year? How many words have you spoken which you later regret? I think I should mull over my decisions and think before I speak. Not that I don’t do either of the two but I should do these two things more often.

4. Blog more

If I resolve to worry less and relax more, that means I will have more time to blog. The time I would have spent worrying would be put to better use (i.e. helping the blog grow), don’t you think? :)

5. Shop more

Life is short. ‘Nuff said.

6. Go out more

To satisfy the 5th resolution, of course! I hardly shop online anyways.

7. Smile more

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve been told that I have an aloof demeanour. Which means I can look pretty unapproachable (some people like to use the word ‘snobbish’ - urgh!) if you don’t know me. Which means I gotta smile more and start to look friendlier. Okay, I think I gotta master that warm, sunshiny, toothy grin instead of just managing that half-smile (which may look like I’m not smiling, but I actually am!). But I ain’t gonna smile like a lunatic at everyone on the streets, okay? However, rest assured I’d break into a huge silly grin if I bump into someone I know. And I’d crack the lamest jokes and make the craziest remarks when you get to know me better.

So that’s it for my list, my 7 resolutions for 2011. Hopefully, I’m on my way to becoming a better person and not forget about these completely, like, a week into 2011! What have you resolved to do in the coming New Year? Please share! :)
