100th Entry

How apt is it to start the year with my 100th blog entry? Not as apt as ending with the 100th and starting with the 101st! But oh well, I'll have to make do with the 100th.

Anyway, we all know how New Year's Resolutions go. You make a decision to do or change something, something big and drastic, and expect to have it done with by the end of the year. Honestly, I gave up on those a long while back. Say, high school. Hehe. I make a resolution, and mid-January, bam! It's gone; either forgotten or deliberately ignored.

As I always say, 2007 was a year of adjustment and adapting. 2008 was a year of pain, loss, and a lot of sadness. 2009 was the booming year of recovery! 2010 was even better! I really know already where I should stand and for how long, how tightly or lightly to grasp at things, stuff like that. So since last year ended two days ago, and I'll have nothing much going on with my life at the top half of 2011 but thesis, OJT, and GMG, I decided to have a resolution again. But this time, I'll be really goal-oriented and specific, and I'll make sure the goals are feasible, too. Haha.

I shall add the following list to my side bar so I could tick them off one by one. It didn't work when I tried to remember it; didn't work even when I wrote it down on paper... Or that time I posted my resolution on my bedroom wall. *sigh*

• Get an SSS number
• Start running again
• Take driving lessons
• Get a driver's license
• Enroll in boxing class
• Stop eating food with high cholesterol and starch content
• Stop eating Minimize intake of sweets (ice cream, cake, chocolates, etc.) hihi
• Wake up before noon, sleep before minight
• Gradually stop bad habits (Yes, vague, I know. But this blog is public. Heehee.)
• Have a boyfriend (Oops. Valid goal, but so not a valid resolution! Haha!)

Well, that's all I could think of for now. I just hope I get the motivation I need.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On Wishing

I seriously cannot wait for the 11th hour and 11th minute of November 11, 2011! That would be the ultimate wishing minute ever! Too many elevens! Aaahhh! Haha.

A year ago, I never gave it much thought, the 11:11 thing. People say that when the clock strikes 11:11, AM or PM, you have to wish. Nobody said it was effective. Not one gave me a valid reason as to why I should do so; some were just apathetic. Without cause, I didn't even believe in it. Not until my childhood best friend and cousin was diagnosed with lupus last January 2010 did I force myself to give it a shot; it won't hurt, I guess. And so it became a practice. Sometimes I would think that 11:11 did me too many a favor during "hopeless" times.

I say it is psychological. Since one's awareness is heightened about a specific want/need, it's only natural to attract such thought into becoming a reality. Now, that, the law of attraction, I believe in!

How did such phenomenon come about anyway? I saw my college best friend's short but swak blog entry for today and it made me really curious, hence this entry. I did some browsing over the internet about different claims on the 11:11 phenomenon (when I should be finishing my thesis paper) when I finally told myself that it doesn't matter, really. It doesn't matter if wishes do come true when one wishes at 11:11 AM or PM. Like I said, you attract what you want to happen in your life. But here's the most interesting I've seen, kinda freaky, actually: CLICK!

On a side note, totally irrelevant: I didn't plan to write anything tonight because I'm too lazy. Best if I save it for thesis. But today, ah! Today has been way too eventful that I couldn't decide what to write about and where to start! I discovered a new way to make blogging so much easier especially when laziness strikes: FLOOD YOUR OWN FACEBOOK WALL AND PRINT SCREEN IT! Then post! Haha!
