It's a new me

It's a new year, (although it's february, delayed i know)
A year to start again, to leave regrets behind and 
work towards achieving more this year. 
To not only thinking about it, but going out and doing it.
Uncovering more about myself.





i wanna make changes in this year.

for once, i'm making a list of what i wanna achieve. 
cus' that way i can reflect back on it at the end of 
the year and feel all accomplished (: 



1.  unplanned, random and spontaneous. 



i've always wanted be more spontaneous
but maybe cause money or not having a car or lack of freedom
have gotten in the way for me to do that.
excuses to take the easy way out.

always wanted to do this,
wake up when it's still dark.
pack some breakfast, with a large
thermos of hot chocolate.
bring some blankets and pillows.
drive to the beach in my pjs.
watch the sunrise.
[ ^ once i can drive by myself (: ]

2. for the rainy days.



working harder to save up. 
my funds will go towards my future house 
ambitious, but eventually achievable (:

short term,
road trips.
travelling.
food adventures.

3. Love harder.



It's being able to compromise to make each other happy.
It's surprising them with treats.
It's those random messages asking how their day was.
It's to be slow to assume the worse.
It's to be able to share the good and bad times.
It's putting others before yourself.
It's the shoulder to lean on when times get rough.
It's giving without expecting anything in return.
It's the patience you give when they drive you crazy.
It's appreciating each moment with the ones you love.

we come to love
not by finding the perfect person,
but by learning to see an 
imperfect person perfectly.

4. keep it interesting.



i admit i'm not the best at baking,
but it's a past time that i enjoy 
because i've always taken an interest
in "artsy fartsy" stuff and i thought picking
up a hobby would make my days more productive.
goal to bake at least once a month :D

wanting to buy,
adriano zumbo cookbooks.
light blue kitchen aid mixer if
i end up sticking to this hobby.

5. movie moments.



i've always wondered,
authors like nicholas sparks
(a walk to remember, the notebook, dear john)
are as romantic in real life as his
characters are portrayed in his books.

even though romcom movies are mostly cliche
and not likely to happen ever.
a lot of them are inspired by non-fictional characters.
opposed to fictional books about my adventures to willy wonka's factory..
sadly disappointed ):

it isn't necessarily to experience movie moments
because it's pretty hard to, but it's just implying to
just enjoy every moment as it comes.
take every opportunity and make the most of it!
