No longer MIA

It's been almost a year since I actually posted anything on this blog and I must say... I'm pretty disappointed in myself (Definitely did not fulfilled my new year's resolution last year). I was too caught up with everything around me and I also had too ambitious goals..

With the start of the new year, I think it's about time (too long I think) to pick myself up and start on this all over again..

So what have I been up to? Did I reach any of my resolutions? (In summary, yeah I did)

2013 has definitely been the most life changing year for me as of yet.

I graduated university...

Finished a marathon...

Managed to catch up with old friends and got to know a great guy...

Entered workforce..

And that's just some of the highlights.. 2013 is a year to remember..

I categorised my resolution in 4 points and I shall update those here:
1. Stop procrastinating: Well, I didn't stop but I am getting better at handling this.
2. Finally be healthier: Nope I didn't reach my ideal weight by my birthday last year :( but I did trained for my marathon which helped me lose some weight in July which I then gained back and more :( Realising how much I weighted, I decided to get healthy again in October and followed Blogilates. I still stick to the programme and I must say I've been toning up and losing some weight :)
3. Love and respect myself more: still a work in progress which I don't know how to measure.. I guess I'm in a better place right now but I don't think it's a great place yet..
4. Share about myself: I definitely didn't post 5 blog posts per week -.- I guess it's a very ambitious goal for a girl who has never blogged nor liked writing so much in the first place.. And I am still shy sharing about myself.. I hope this year I'll be able to post 1 post per week and perhaps open up more about myself..

Moving forward... I thought things through and my 2014 resolution shall be:
1. Be more active on this blog (aim for a post every week)
2. Start a youtube channel maybe?
3. Run at least 1 marathon this year (StandChart?)
4. Keep a food journal, eat clean and exercise daily
5. Be happy

Whatever it is your resolution in 2014, I hope we'll be able to achieve it.. If you'd like to share your goals this year, share it :)

2013's Resolution: Do you have one?

One of the most debated topic in the start of the year is New Year's Resolution.. Is it good? Is it just plain bad idea? Is it worthwhile?

I figured I might as well have one but supplement it with smaller goals leading to the big ones set in the New Year

I was really contemplating on publishing this post as I'm afraid that I won't be able to tick check on all that I set here... But I realize that if I post it here, I'll be more driven to reach these goals so as not to disappoint myself and those who read the goals... (I hope this will be a strong motivation for me!)

So without further ado.. Here's my goal for this year:

1. Stop procrastinating - seriously this is the one bad habit of mine that I hate the most. It's a goal that I set half a year ago and will still be included here.. I shall kick this habit once and for all!

2. Finally be healthier - this is a really tough goal for me.. To be honest, I'm way over my ideal weight and has been constantly fighting this ever since I was in the 4th grade =( I'll be 23 in about 2 months time and this year I shall reach my ideal weight on my birthday March 17.. Hmm should I post my weight loss journey here?

3. Love and respect myself more - Thinking lowly of myself and sacrificing what I desires to make room for others' are the biggest crimes I commit to myself. To be honest there's lots of decisions I made that I wish I could've thought of myself more.. This year, no matter how egoistic this sounds, I should think of myself more and love myself more because if there's anyone that should, it's me.

4. Share about myself - Yes, I'm still struggling to find the confidence to share my identity in this blog. I'm afraid that I'll be the laughing stock or that after seeing who I am, no one will care about whatever it is that I write. By the end of this year, I hope that I'll be confident enough to reveal myself more. In addition, I vow to post at least 5 posts every week - be it beauty related products, random thoughts, etc.

That's it those are my big arching goals for 2013.. I hope and I will be ticking those off in the end of the year! For those who came upon this post, hope that you will support me in this journey.

Wishing you all the best for any goals that you're creating this year =)

Let 2013 be our year!
