2013: What I Look Forward To

By charline - Sunday, January 06, 2013

Bracing all of the best things 2013 has to offer...



Happy happy new year everyone! This will be my very first post for the year 2013. The previous year was good to me. There were ups and downs. But amidst the clutter, I survived. Now that I am finally letting go of certain things and including people (haha not that I am being sentimental or whatsoever). I have decided to write a post of the things that I am eagerly looking forward to do this year.

Before anything else, I welcome this year with God's eternal and sincere love. Sometimes I tend to drive myself crazy with all the negative thoughts and anticipating all of the possible scenarios when in fact I can just focus on the best outcomes and the positive ones. This is a good reminder for me to just have faith in Him and believe that everything will fall in its rightful place.


The quote says it all. If you want to achieve your dreams and be the person that you want to become, be with people who will lift you up and be with people who can bring out the best in you. 


It starts off with a good health. I am quite aware that I am one of those eat-everything-who-cares-with-health group of people. For so many years, Ive been like that. But as I become older, I realize that health is really wealth. Never mind the antiquity of this cliche. It holds true anyway. Finally, I'll try to rearrange my lifestyle and I will try my very best to be fit and healthy. (I hope I succeed haha)

Activities to Try

With all of the things I have to attend to, I always forget to allot some of my time to do the things that make me happy. For this year, I would want to go back to dancing. Not that I am attempting to be a professional dancer haha It's too late. But I really intend to be more active in my dancing class and dance like the way I used to. 

Seriously, I've been dying to learn how to ride a bicycle. Among all of the most difficult things for me to do is to ride a bicycle without either falling on the ground or without looking like a scared-ready-to-be-toasted cat. haha. I don't know why I suck in almost all aspects of physical balancing. No wonder I can't do the following: 

Swimming...I love the beach. I enjoy almost all kinds of water related activities. But I don't know why I can't swim. Many have already tried their best effort to teach me and to no avail. I always feel like I am drowning even if I am not. Well, it's not too late to learn, right?
Which goes to my another wishful thinking attempt -skating. I have not tried again  after falling off on the ground a gazillion times up to a point my butt already hurt like hell. Going back, that was a long long time ago. Now, I'll try again. I hope I can make some sense of balance. Geez.

Things I Want To Do
Okay, after that shameful physical balancing exercises haha. I am focusing on some things that are more serious. This year, I wish to pursue my travel plans and place it on a higher priority level. It would be exciting to travel alone probably even just in a local destination first. :)
Read more books this year and make sure I digest everything. Sometimes, I have this habit of speed reading that I tend to neglect important details.

Be more fashionable...I dress up for occasions but when it comes to everyday fashion, I don't exert that much effort haha. A nice top with rugged jeans and flats would be enough for me. For this year, reinventing my fashion style is harmless haha

Oh yes!For so many years, Ive been wanting to learn how to cook. Haha. This is definitely not my first attempt but I will try again for the superlative nth time.
Since I can no longer be a professional musician, I am just eager to watch live musical performances to be specific orchestra performances. I hope that I can watch a nice performance this year.

Reminders for Me



Spend more time with my friends and loved ones.

Never be afraid of showing what you feel and to give love to someone who deserves it.

My heart is kept hidden for many years. It's now 2013, time to open up and I am hopeful.
Chase my dreams wherever it leads me to. I only have one life to live and limited chances to take.

Last but not the least, SMILE and be a blessing.. :)

  3. Three things you mentioned that caught my attention:
    -The feeling of being anonymous in a place you've never been -> I guess we both love adventures;
    -Never be afraid of showing what you feel and to give love to someone who deserves it -> I never confess about love and I guess I never will; and
    -Chase my dreams wherever it leads me to. I only have one life to live and limited chances to take -> Very true! The best statement I heard for the day! :)

    Go Char! :)
