Planning for 2011

Because they said that resolutions are more or less empty words, I'll opt to say that thus far these are the plans for 2011.

1. Smile more. Stay positive. Less "sungit". I can't say less stress but hopefully more grace under pressure.

2. Continue saving and maybe start investing in something-anything.
Since the business/franchising option is a bit on the difficult side and I hit a wall on that last year, I'll try a different approach. first step done. Now the hard part understanding how it works and actually starting with it.

3. Diversify. Explore alternative options.

Right now, I have zoned in on one possible option for me. I am still groping around on how I will be able to go about this though. I am very much interested and somehow this is something I figured would work and is doable. *fingers crossed.

4. Indulge while still keeping up with item #2.
This part I would say I have real trouble right now. My savings are actually at stake right now because of this. I think even if I forego one trip I am still not sure how I'll be able to manage without compromising my savings.
For starters, there's the Sagada trip which hopefully will push through. Maroon 5 concert on May (but we intend to book as soon it is possible, starting January 20 to be exact). HK trip with Mama. This is a special request by Mama, for me to treat her on a trip abroad. Of course, how can I not give in considering the fact that I also want to go someplace too. Problem is I'm spending for two this time and not just myself. If for myself I can easily manage but for two hopefully I'll be able to pull it off. Worst case would be I'd have to loan from my savings.  All these expenses need to be paid at barely the end of first quarter so good luck to me.

5. lovelife for 2011. hopefully all that positive energy will help to make things be in my favor but God-willing of course. I don't want to force it, anticipate too much and get too anxious about it. I am just hoping that it is time and I'm worthy of that one great love which I've been hoping, wishing, praying and waiting for. Hopefully, I'm also capable of it.
