For 8 days, post 1 thing every day that made you happy. Then tag 8 other people. (Tagging anyone who wants to do this meme.)

Day 8: New Year! My most favorite day of the year. What's not to be happy about on this day? Fireworks, food, fun!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ♥

Okay, it's about time for the annual weighing in of old and the making of new goals.

( Goals for 2008 )


MY GOALS FOR 2009

This year, I plan on giving my wanderlust a little rest. Instead, I want to get some skill, lifestyle, attitude and material upgrades:

• Take JLPT 3/4. (This has been on my list for years!)


• Write at least three short stories.


• Not be more than 30 minutes late every month.


• Have 23% or lower body fat.


• Write a novel.


• Play bass in front of an audience (family does not count, but recitals or small private functions with friends do).


• Buy a car. Or a house.


• Get a new computer.


• Improve my self-confidence. (I don't know how to measure this. Maybe I'll have to list down the number of times I put myself down per day, and see if it decreases by the end of the year?)


• Volunteer for a cause.


• Make at least one new human friend.


• Upload at least 12 new songs at the Karaoke Box (currently at 68 songs).


• Start a topic-exclusive blog, or add standard weekly content on my LJ.

Ganbarimasu!
