Happy New Year (2009)

Hi All,

Can you believe the year 2008 has ended? What a year it's been! It has been a year of trials and adversity. It has been a time of great learning. Yet even in the midst of these earthly trials, 2008 has been a time of great joy and God's abundant blessings.
A year of fun and friendship…….

I don’t have any specific rational; however, somewhere down the line I was eagerly waiting for the year of 2008 to end sooner, in order to welcome the spanking New Year.

In honor of the New Year, I have build up quite a meticulous set of resolutions, and I can tell already they're going to be tough to keep. In particular, targeting to reduce pretty much 4-5 kgs of weight within the next couple of month, focus on healthy diet and cut down on junk food, involve myself into lots of yoga and exercise, strengthen my linguistic skills, engage in more community service, I am a strong believer of the phrase - “What we think about we will become” Therefore I want to ensure thoughts of success, victory, joy, and peace, and lastly drastically cutting back on internet. Yes, you read that right...less internet. This is incredibly daunting to me, as I have pretty much constant urges to browse the internet, but I'm not sure that doing so is actually increasing my overall happiness or utility, so I think this is an important challenge. Who knows what I'll be able to accomplish with all that extra time on my hands? With any luck I'll even end up blogging more……………………

Anyway, happy New Year to you all, and good luck with your new resolutions!
Have Fun!
