237. March resolutions!

I thought this was so cute!

Children's dinner I made :)

March Resolutions

1. Make a food diary

I want to see what I eat, so then maybe I'll see that I eat wayyy too much junk food. And that I can also save quite a bit by not buying so much crap all the time.

2. Set up another saving account 

Part of my "ways to save" method. Put money away and don't look at it. Thus not being able to spend it. Start saving for summer trip, pay off people :)

3. Cut down on eating out?

Last month, I must have spent at least 1300 NOK just on eating out. And not even proper food!

Those coffee and buns before school, in between classes, occasional café trips, eating out all adds up to quite a bit! 

I am so utterly surprised when I finally checked my bank account last month! Who knew?

4. Write my shopping want list

Who am I kidding if I say, I will not shop. But maybe if I plan carefully I would not end up buying too much rubbish?

5. Be nicer to Magnar

Sometimes I can be such a "Nazi girlfriend". Sometimes I believe it is based, sometimes after I calm down, I can be quite ridiculous. Sometimes I never know where we are heading, but most times I know he is one of the best thing that has ever happened.

6. Be more eloquent. 

This is going to be a hard one. I ramble and mumble too often!

Cute!

7. Donate?

Possibly find another charity organizations I can donate too?

Find an organization I am passionate about?

8. Get myself a summer job

Must get summer job. Must get summer job. Must get summer job.

9. Get that very much needed haircut

Ughhhhhhhhhh. 

This is more stress than Latin, and yes... I know it is just hair. That is it, in March. I am going to get it cut! trimmed. :) *Super determined.

10. Live

Picture taken outside : Forsningsparken (?) T-bane station! Hilarious!

 

Ta! 

236. End of February

Love getting parcels in post <3

Lets see how far I have come with my February resolutions!

1. Lose 5 to 8 pounds.

Slightly fail. I did lose some weight but not enough!

2. Keep track of where my money goes

Partly a success. I still bought a bunch of random shizz that I don't necessarily need.  

But I do still have quite a bit of leftover :)

3. One "vegan day" a week

Success! I am going to increase the amount of days on this one!

4. Work out more often

Fail. :( 

5. Practice Latin

I only practice because I have too. Haha!

6. Appreciate the people around me

Don't know how to judge this one.

7. Get in touch with some old friends and family.

Success! 

8. Continue to be happy?

I guess last month was a bit of both? :)

9. Save!

:)

10. Live

Omgoodness. I haven't achieve anything significant this month did I? :(

I hope resolution effect is not running out like it usually does! 

*Determined*

Nevermind, I'll push myself harder in March. Gonna go make my month resolution!

202. February Resolutions.

Can you really believe it is already February? It feels like it was just yesterday that it was the New Years!

So, intending to keep up my plan for resolutions here are my resolutions for February.

1. Lose 5 to 8 pounds.

Just so I get back to where I was prior holiday season.

2. Keep track of where my money goes

Spend at most 1000 NOK on clothes shoes and complete junks I always end up buying. Eating out should be kept to 3 or 4 times a week!

3. One "vegan day" a week

If I cant be a vegetarian everyday, once a week is quite good, no?

4. Work out more often

I am hoping to gradually build up better stamina and strength.

5. Practice Latin

Practice, practice, practice

6. Appreciate the people around me

Sometimes I really take for granted whats already there. In search for something more, I forget to see whats beside me.

7. Get in touch with some old friends and family.

I haven't gotten in touch with friends back in Malaysia in such a long time.

8. Continue to be happy?

I don't have that much ambitions and aims for next month, for I am relatively quite contented where I am right now. 

9. Save!

I got so much summer plans, its insane. So if I want a shopping spree in the summer, I better start saving.

10. Live

200. End of January!

*Scratch catching the train to meet Torbjørn on time, I blame my black pumps. They are not make for walking or running in my case.

Can you believe January is already coming to an end? Remember my Resolution '10 for January?

So, its the end of the month, and as promised time for my personal evaluation!

1. Swear less or none at all

I would like to think this was a complete success. I swear so much lesser, and when I do it, I actually notice it, thus prompting me to stop. Hopefully I'll just continue swearing less and less.

2. Be dressed better

Definitely a success. I actually know what to wear everyday. Or in other words, I put on things that make me feel better. Costing me alot more money as well though.

3. Make some new friends

One day I'll introduce you to Stian and Robin! Really awesome folks!

4. Get myself a new schedule book

Checked. Followed and stick to everything I write in it. I still procrastinate a bit sometimes, but it's getting better!

5. Spend more quality time with Munchkin not quantity

We have been so busy lately, we haven't actually had much time so to do much. But the times we do spent together are completely amazing. So I guess, this was kind of a success too?

6. Read read read read read more.

I read, The Piano Teacher by Elfiede Jelinek (?) and The Dark Room by I forgot. Guess on this one I could do better. But I truly have been so busy with everything else! 

7. Lead a healthier lifestyle.

How does one judge the success rate on this one? 

8. Take up some winter sport activities.

Enough said? 

9. Stop being so paranoid and think less.

I have been really happy the past month. I have made decisions that I thought carefully about and they are decisions I choose to stick by.

10. Live

Refer to point 9 : I have been happy. And isn't that what life is really all about?

Time to make some new resolutions for next month later today! 

172. Resolution '10

So, here are the list of things I wish shall achieve in January 2010 and hopefully manage to carry them out throughout the year and develop into a better person all together.

1. Swear less or none at all

 I am fully aware that I say words like fuck and shit and damn you a bit too often for even my own liking. Its not that I want to say those words, they are just words I use so often they become a pronoun in my vocabulary. This has to stop.

2. Be dressed better

I think dressing better does a lot of wonders, you feel much better, you carry yourself with more confidence, people take you a bit more seriously, etc. etc.

3. Make some new friends

I am starting uni again in 2 weeks, and this semester I intend to get to know some new people that hopefully shares a lot of the same interest as me. I shall be more acceptable to other peoples different personalities and persona's.

4. Get myself a new schedule book

Get a new schedule book, write in it and stick to it.

I used to be so good at this, but that obsession died out. I got to get myself together and start again. I need to stop procrastinating!

5. Spend more quality time with Munchkin not quantity

Enough said?

6. Read read read read read more.

I am hoping I get to read a lot more when I start University again. I am thinking if I can read at least a book a week, that could be quite nice. I love reading, but sometimes I read the most... un-educational books you can possibly imagine

7. Lead a healthier lifestyle.

Exercise, wake up early, sleep enough, eat properly and all that drill.

8. Take up some winter sport activities.

This one might be hard for I hate skiing. But, I also know Winter break is soon. And, I want nothing more than to go up to the mountains and ski.

9. Stop being so paranoid and think less.

I can drive myself crazy sometimes thinking of all sorts of situations which is more often than not, not true at all. I need to stop that. Be more open and understanding.

10. Live

Check back in a month to see how I am progressing!
