Something to revisit, after 364 days

I just realized that I always do the usual self-check at the end of the year, by revisiting the my posts. For a change, I'll put my goals on this very first post for 2011, and see how my life goes from here. I hope I'm still an active blogger on Dec 31, 2011. But knowing myself, most likely, I'll still be one! Okay, let's go.

1. I will have at least 2 (and AT MOST 2) of the following:
   - iPod Touch
   - new netbook
   - Bicycle
   - Musical Keyboards

2. I will learn how to drive (c/o Lou.)

3. I will put additional [x] in my savings account
(I need not to disclose the value of x. I will remember that value by heart, promise. haha!)

4. I will learn to cook AND MASTER, at least 3 of the following dishes:
   - paella
   - kare-kare
   - tom yam soup
   - ravioli
   - green tea ice cream (as I already made dark chocolate ice cream before, I'm pretty sure this one's also being cooked. I hope I'm right. hehe)

5. I will go to at least ONE of the following domestic destinations:
   - Bukidnon
   - Banaue
   - Dipolog
   - Dumaguete
(I really want to add Batanes to this list, but I think it's too pricey, having goals #1 and #6 at the same time. well, let's see. Ok, FINE...)
   - Batanes. hehe!

6. I will go to at least ONE of the following international destinations:
   - Bangkok
   - Cambodia
   - Vietnam
   - Australia (bev? hehe)
   - Macau
   - Bali

Actually, I want at least one SOLO TRAVEL in goals #5 and #6. But, let's set that as a 'bonus', okay. For now let's make things more attainable, haha. Lastly... though this one depends not only on myself and though this may sound really drastic...

7. I will start packing up at the end of the year for a new apartment on 2012.

There! I really hope that after 364 days, on Dec 31 (or 30 or 29), I will remember that I have this post. Of course, I also hope I will be able cross out ALL items on this list by then. Ahh, this feels much better than making resolutions, which I usually forget at the first quarter, right? haha!

Okay, time starts now!

Sige, kahit Macau muna if Aussie's too expensive. hehe or better yet.... balik tayo Sagada.... We should revive our domestic annual travels again. Kahit tayu tayo na lang :)

And when you perfected your ravioli, I would love to try it out.

Looks like you're going to have a wonderful year ahead ;-) happy 2011!

Just my 10 cents worth on learning to drive... hanap ka na lang ng ibang magtuturo... kasi kung si Lou, for sure mag-aaway kayo =P

On to cooking... I would love to try your ravioli and green tea ice cream! Pwedeng mag-volunteer as food taster? ;-)

Travel? I MISS traveling so much!!!

Lastly, bat lilipat ka ng apartment? :o

@cie - naku on driving, yan din iniisip ko. feeling ko magaaway lang kami ni lou! pero im over psyching myself... para malay mo makatulong mabawasbawasan taray level ko on that day. hehe

on food tasting.. cge ba! sana lang magkalapit tayo ng lokasyon diba?! :p hehe

and on the apartment.. naliliitan kase ako e. gusto ko ng sala (yeah wla ako non, just dining), bigger kitchen (u know me, i really love cooking) and bigger bathroom (because I'm a girl!) hehe! plan ko tlga lumipat ng 2011 but then diba im still recovering from the bypass gastos. so there, idedelay ko to 2012 ;)

bev said...

Cie is right (kahit I haven't met her pa), huwag ka magpaturo kay Lou. Magkakainisan lang kayo. hahaha

gusto mo ako magturo??? =))

Sagada!

ledabrigino said...

bat may nasingit na 'sagada' sa comment mo. are we driving to sagada? i dnt think that's a good starter. hahaha! :P

Cie said...

talagang dapat may justification kung bat ka lilipat ng apartment eh noh? =P

padala mo na lang kay Lou yung sampler ng iluluto mo ;-)

ps. hi bev! hehe =D

ledabrigino said...

haha! bev, meet cie, opismate ko non sa cai-sta. she knows all our adventures ;)

@cie, onga noh.. alam ko na pag pupunta akong bulacan, text kita, we could meetup sa sm fairview (but of course, dapat imaster ko muna ang luto ko haha)

bianca said...

Uy Leda, if ever makauwi ako this year or next year, patikim ako ng paella mo ha?

ledabrigino said...

Cie said...

haha! kaya mo yan leda! go! go! go! ;-)

tasj said...

ledabrigino said...
