Hello 2017

It's the time of the year again. It's the time for a new year actually. Looking back at last year, it seems like I have done a lot. Although I was not very active in my blog.

But anyway, let's cut to the chase because my mind is blank right now. I can't really think of my highlight for 2016. I can only think of the recent ones.

2016 New Year's Resolution

1. Learn German. Make it better!  It's a bit better but not much progress. Though I am learning Japanese in the mean time actually. So I'm gonna check this off. 
2. Learn one martial art for self-defense. I did join Aikido! For 4 or 5 months or so, then quit. I might say I have no time, but actually I was not really interested in it. I rather use my time for my other hobbies like crochet. At least I tried. 
3. Give back to the people who has been helping you unconditionally in your life. Still learning how to. I acted selfishly without knowing until I was told off. :(
4. Exercise regularly! Stick to your plan! HAHAHA, I quit running after Australia trip because of my bunion, it hurts so bad. But I didn't even continue my pilates. Bad Joey. Need more effort here. 
5. Learn to wear fashionably. Hello "girl", where are you? I did, only a few times. I even threw my make-up, it's growing mold. Eww.. Time for new ones.
6. Do more good deeds whenever you can! Even small one counts. Donated a fair amount to WWF (yearly) and Project Aware (for the ocean). I like to donate to help animals and plants instead of people. Ask me why in real life if you are curious. 
7. Pursue what you want. Do not let anyone hold you back. I don't exactly know what I am pursuing at the moment. I'm just following the flow. 
8. Complete all those draft post in your blog! I deleted a few! HAH! But I still have a few drafts from my Europe trip. I am doing my best to complete them. 
9. As always, be happy. I am having less depressed moments and lots of fun last year. It's a good year. 
10. Explore more! Version 2.0 Loads of first times! Pulau Tioman, Pulau Redang, Gold Coast (Australia), Amed (Bali), Guadalajara (Mexico), Kuantan, Cherating and Sungai Lembing.   

I accomplished 7 out of 10. Not bad! Actually it's the same achievement as last year. Hahahaha. Well, I don't really actually remember the list during the rest of the year. I just do what I feel like. It seems like my mindset is still the same. So, it's all good. 

Now, it's time for.... 

2017 New Year's Resolution

1. Take good care of Bianca and Grey. (I am actually very obsessed with them, they are so cute. They are staring right at the screen at this moment so see what I am doing. Kyah!!)
2. Keep blogging. At least once a month! And a must to blog about your travels!
3. Exercise at least 3 times a week.
4. Keep learning at least 1 language (Japanese or German).
5. Create more stuff! (I have been slacking off a lot)
6. Knowing when to hold my tongue. Words spoken cannot be taken back. 
7. Finish all those games you wanted to play... This is stupid but I can't think of anything else. 
8. Be a good employee/colleague at work. Avoid office politics. 
9. Be a good girlfriend/daughter/sister/granddaughter/person.
10. Explore explore explore. 

Have a happy new year everyone. This year is going to be another great year.
