Let's start this year with a BANG!

jemzThe parties last night were a LOT of fun! Got to see ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
etoilenoir959 and maplesyrup and a few others. Good times! Then I headed out to hang out with my favorite wine crowd to kick in the new year! Found out that bluebyyou got engaged! CONGRATS, COUSIN! Wheeee! Yay for destination wedding! And at a few seconds after the ball dropped, one of my girls got ENGAGED and I got to watch the entire thing. Including the bended knee, the terrified look on his face, the shock on her face, and the mad mad rush to hug her and all the smiles on our faces as we continued to celebrate the night away!
Came home to the siblings still partying and there was much love from them. One of the few times they get all touchy feely. :D
It was a struggle to get out of bed to come to work but omg, last night was SO WORTH IT.
So, New Year's Resolutions and all that.
Here's my resolutions from last year!
1. Stay happy.
I'm still happy. Still a positive person. Definitely stronger for all the ups and downs I've gone through this year.
2. Be more proactive in the community (aka more community service!)
I've been throwing a lot of wine parties with a charity attached. Toys for Tots, Rock for AIDS, and a few other smaller organizations. Also, I got promoted in the Fanime volunteer chain.
3. Lose the extra love handles. I don't need more than 2 (one for each side) and I certainly don't need more than a handful.
;lakjf;af. I LOST WEIGHT, YOU GAIZ. SO I AM REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS. :D
4. Keep up with yoga because it's helping with my posture and back. Plus, getting flexible is just an added bonus. It will help while navigating through the crowds in Japan while carrying things.
ahahha. A FAILED ONE. BUT! I will definitely do this! Because there's a HAWAIIAN WEDDING and I want to be hot and sexy on the beach!
5. Save! More money to spend in wild shopping sprees in Japan....or buy souvenirs for family and send postcards to friends. and of course, w-inds. FC Con goods. :3
Yes! Did this! Need to do it again! I've got a HAWAIIAN WEDDING, a HOLLYWOOD WEDDING, and TOKYO along with my trips to Seattle, New Orleans, and NYC/HERSHEY, PA.
6. Keep in touch with friends. Because I need to stop being a lame friend and make more of an effort to talk to people whom I've not spoken with in the last 6 months or so or even all the lovely people who are watching my journal.
Hmmm. I would like to think I kept this but in all honesty, I tried and some responded and some....didn't. But I made a lot of new friends and they are absolutely lovely! I'm very glad to have them on my journal and in my life. ♥
7. Keep dancing when no one is looking with my iPod, Teppei. Yeah. I can bootyshake while doing laundry. It's bootylicious, y0.
OH FUCK YEAH. I am always connected to my iPod.
8. Stop being a packrat. Cuz junk in the trunk is just too much junk and then you can't add more to it since it's full. that doesn't make sense but whatever. I just need to streamline.
*faaaaails so hard* Oops. :D
9. Learn to cook something. Anything. Other than baking. Because I should be able to cook something and not just scrambled eggs, omulets and omurice from watching Mago Mago Arashi.
I made onigiri! And a few other things but not much. OH HEY. DOES VANILLA-INFUSED VODKA COUNT?
10. Keep creating. Writing, scrapbooking, learning photoshop. Need to keep working on these because hey! Fun times! and it's something for myself rather than for others.
I think I only succeeded on the writing part. I've been writing a lot in the latter half of the year and it's been a wild ride. I'd like to think I've expanded my writing and storytelling skills from a total n00b but I'm probably deluding myself. But I like what I am writing and that's the important part to me. :D
Whooo. Now that the review is over. Here are my new resolutions!
Travel more! Keep seeing the world and gain a fresh, new perspective on life.
Keep expanding my horizons. Because every so often, I find myself in a rut and that's never fun. Because I get paranoid that I'm becoming narrow-minded. And that's the last thing I ever want to become.
Drink lots of liquids! Back to drinking more and having clearer skin!
Get more sleep!
Keep up my weight loss and tone, tone, tone my body for the SUMMER TRIPS! wheeee! I totally want to look good in that bikini, y0.
Spend more time with family. Because time is precious and I want to make the most of my time and spend it with people I love and who love me back. ♥
Keep the Faith happiness in my life. And FINISH WHAT I START. *nodsnodsnods*
So with that last resolution in mind, I'm off to go update![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
