new year goals

At the start of each new year, I set goals that I aim to accomplish. I don't really expect to do everything in just a year, which is why my list of goals seem to just get longer and longer (haha!). It's okay, that just means more things for me to do and to aspire to accomplish.

so instead of saying that these are my 2012 goals, I'll just declare the following as my life goals in general.

1. Travel to the different provinces in Region 1 and 2.

- Okay, this is going to be a bit easy for me to accomplish since I'll be based in Isabela for 7 months. I can easily take a bus and go on an adventure anywhere in the northern part of the country.

2. Go on an out-of-the-country trip.

- I was supposed to visit my friend Annick in Sydney, Australia this April. However, my forever erratic work sched sorta ruined my travel plans for the year so I'm thinking of moving my trip to later this year or early next year. Also, I've started planning a few trips abroad to be spread out in the next 2-3 years..

3. Make my 'Tricycle Chronicles'.

- Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao -- the tricycles all over the country have very different looks. I've been thinking of recording the trikes I've seen during my trips but didn't really do it since it was just an idea swimming in my head. Now, I've decided to finally do it. I find that the differences in tricycles are affirmations of how different each region is from one another. I mean, it's like Filipino cuisine. We all know what adobo is, and we all cook it, but the adobo in Manila is different from the adobo in Ilocos--the texture, the taste, the way it's cooked. So yeah, maybe tricycles all over have the same purpose but are different in built and style.

4. Food trip

- I don't think I need to explain this. I mean, who wouldn't want to go on a food trip?!

5. Continue working for the betterment of the country, and to be able to do more.

6. Be financially stable and financially wiser.

- Being a woman, this ain't easy hahaha! But, I must learn to spend wisely and save more.

These are just a few of the things I'm aiming to accomplish, the rest are a bit more personal hehe. Mind you, the goals listed down are not in order of importance.
