Goals for Twenty-Thirteen

I was actually going to start a new blog but after looking at this one and revisiting everything, why start a new one right? (Plus, I'm beginning to think it was too much work to start a new one anyway.)

So, let's talk about goals/New Year's Resolution. To be honest, I hardly stick to them but this year, I think I'm going to try my best to keep them.

And this year's missions are:

1) Stop shopping too much. - I admit it's getting kind of out of control. I found some clothes that still has tags on them. That's not good.

2) Wear everything in the closet. - Maybe shopping the closet will help me kick the shopping addiction to the curb.

3) Stick to a $50 shopping budget a month. -  Baby steps, people. BABY STEPS.

4) Work out for at least 30 minutes a day. - Not just for losing weight but for the sake of being healthy and preventing myself from having some sort of heart disease someday.

5) Travel more. - Experiences are worth much more than tangible and material things.

6) Finish a project first before starting a new one. - Ugh, I have so many projects to do right now.

7) Be closer to family. - Call my Dad and my Grandma every weekend even for a few minutes. Send birthday cards.

8) Stop. Being. So. Damn. Lazy. - Because being lazy is the reason why I get overwhelmed.

9) Keep writing this blog. - Consider it as another project; it needs to be finished.

10) Take more pictures! - What kind of an idiot buys an expensive camera and not use it? Um yeah, that would be me. Must stop being an idiot. :)

Okay 2013, bring it on!

Currently on a slump...

Yeah.

I don't know what to write about lately. I think it's mainly because there's really nothing too exciting going on right now. I'm not even excited about house-hunting anymore. I heard in the news today that the house prices around the Seattle area are supposed to drop lower. I hope they're right because if that's the case, maybe we really should put the house-buying on hold.

I guess I can start writing about fashion, like clothes or something. Maybe I'll start posting my "Outifits of the Day". I mean, it's something to write about. I think I need to mix up this blog a little bit. I do need to get a new lens because our condo sucks when it comes to the natural light department. It's freaking dark in here!

Oh and guess what? "Spring" is here because the daffodils and tulips are out, as well as the cherry blossoms! I've been meaning to take pictures but it's been raining like crazy lately. Hopefully one of these days, the weather will clear up a little bit. I am so sick and tired of the rain and grey skies.

Anyway, that's all for now. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should write about?

SOTD: Givin' Up on House Huntin'

Yup, the title says it all.

We are done looking at houses for now.

It seems like we can't find anything that really stands out to us. We were actually beginning to think that the "fixer-upper" house we put a bid on (but lost to another bidder) would have been the perfect house for us even though it needs a lot of work. I mean, lots of work can be good right? Shoot, we can do whatever the hell we want to the house. The house got a ton of space, vaulted ceilings, skylights and a rec room downstairs. I want tons of spaces and high ceilings, my husband just wants a rec room area. It's freaking perfect and it's sad that we're just realizing this right now. Shoot, we could have offered a higher bid! Oh well, things happen for a reason.

So yeah, we're taking a break. No more looking at houses. It's freaking exhausting.

Anyway, I'm not feeling well today so I'm going to watch some "Daria" DVDs. I also have to work on writing a KSA for a job application. I am really, really hating writing so much right now. Hopefully, I get this job or else I will not know what to do with my damned self. I better get this freaking job!

I hope you guys are having or had a better Monday than I do/did. I am so glad mu husband is back. He's pretty good at making me feel better most of the time.

I Need to Take Writing Classes

Yup, the title says it all.

I can't write for shit. Seriously.

I'm kind of jealous of people who can express themselves through writing. I'm kind of jealous of people who can write poetry, short stories and those long, but not-too-long blogs that makes sense. How do you guys do it? How I wish I can do the same thing!

I used to be able to write. I had a MySpace blog (I'll spare you from those entries because they're pretty bad but at least they're long!) and I used to get good grades on my college papers. So what the hell happened to me?

I think my main problem is that my thoughts are all over the place. My mind seems to go 100 mph (or something)...so fast (I can actually feel the Gs...) that I forget what I'm going to write next. I can't seem to organize my thoughts lately too so I just blank out. It's like "BAM! Writer's Block!". It's funny because people who know me well think I have an opinion about everything (well, except on politics and religion. I'm not touching those issues.) so I should have loads to write about. Well, I do but I don't know how to write it.

People say, "Just write what's on your mind.". Well, what's on my mind seem to have no structure or whatsoever. If I write what's on my mind, people won't understand a damned thing.

Anyway, I'm just rambling now and laughing at myself. Do you guys have any writing tips? Am I overthinking this or what?
