12 Resolutions for 2012

I have never been good at keeping my new year's resolutions but I still like having one because it makes me work really hard to accomplish things and improve myself. As I look back on the resolutions that I made in 2011 and I think I did good. I accomplish a few and others only a part of it.

For the year 2012 these are my resolutions.

1. Take good care of my body - I love junk food and greasy fast food but I want to eat healthy and become healthier so I want to limit my junk food intake.

2. Finish my VISA application - I want to try to work in other country so I filed for my VISA assessment.

3. Travel - I want to travel out of the country once a year and travel locally at least twice a year.

4. Save up money - I was spending like crazy in 2011 so I want to save more money so I could pay debts and go travelling more.

5. Read a lot of books

6. Be a smart shopper - I'm a shopaholic and I buy things that I don't need. I want to start making list before I go shopping to save money.

7. Be more organized - I'm a messy person and I want things to be organized so that everything will have a place of its own and it will make things easier for me.

8. Spend more time with my family.

9. Stay in touch with old friends and make new friends. I'm bad at making new friends and I only have guy friends and only a few girl friends.

10.Be more understanding and reasonable - I get upset easily so I want to work on my patience. I will try to look at things in the other persons perspective before getting upset.

11. Have fun and spend quality time with my boyfriend more.

12. Have no regrets!

2011 was a great year and I'm sad that its over but I'm excited and I'm looking forward for a better 2012.

This or That Tag

This is a tag I got from ellandblair site and I thought it was interesting so I'm giving it a go. It is just a very short but interesting and fun tag.

♥ Coke or Pepsi? Definitely Coke. Pepsi is just too sweet for my taste.

♥
Ice cream or frozen yogurt? Frozen Yogurt! I can eat tub after tub and not feel as guilty as I would feel if I ate Ice cream.


♥ 
Clothes or makeup? This is a tough one. Hmmm I'm thinking make-up because I could be wearing the simplest basic clothes and have good make-up and I would still feel confident and fabulous.

♥ Hairspray or frizz lotion? Hairspray. Frizz lotion makes my hair look greasy and no one wants to look greasy.

♥ T.V or book? Book all the way. TV shows or even movies doesn't compare to the experience of immersing yourself in a good book.

♥ Pool or beach? Pool! I hate the sticky feeling I get after I get out of the sea.

♥ 
Water or soda? Water.



♥ Sandals or boots? Boots because as much as possible I don't like to expose my toes. There is nothing wrong with my toes don't get me wrong, my toes are fine but I like the look of closed shoes like boots. I also like the edgy style so boots are my thing.



♥ Purse or backpack? I depends... Purse if I'm just running errands and going to work. Backpack if I'm travelling.



♥ Team Jacob or Team Edward? Team Jacob both in the book and movie. I want a guy best friend that would be there for me and love me the way I am just like Jacob loves Bella.

♥ 

Wizards of Waverly Place or Hannah Montana? Hannah Montana. I like Miley Cyrus, I find her very entertaining.



♥ Mall or online shopping? Mall! I live in malls and my boyfriend works as an resident engineer of a local mall in our city so I love to window shop while waiting for him to get off work.



♥ Tennis or soccer? I have never tried both sports but I think I would fair well will soccer because I get to play with a lot of people.

♥ MAC or Maybelline? MAC is way superior!
