Next Year

I want 2005 to be a meaningful year for me - that's why I'm gonna plan for it perfectly. Hopefully.

Main goal is to do the things I want to do - this includes scuba diving, going to at least two places outside luzon just for adventure's sake and if given enough resources, one out of the country.

I know this will take a lot of tiis on my part because then, I have to save up a lot to be able to achieve all of them.

So, I'm making a promise to control my spending on things that, although is very very fun, are not that important. I will try to lessen gimiks, parties and drinking sessions. (lord, help me ha.)

I was talking with an old friend from the states. He's a former school mate in grade school. He lives in the States and is just having a vacation here. Through sheer hard work and determination, he got to do a lot of things already, has been to different places. Its just a matter of focusing on things that matter to you and having that great zeal of an attitude to get things done. Now, after having done a lot of things, he now concentrates on doing "good" things. Just giving back the blessings he has received I guess. He mentors kids and sometimes takes them to the dentist for free check ups and stuff. I think if I get to that point, my life would feel more complete.

I'm not getting any younger and before I feel that disappointing feeling that you've done almost nothing when you reach an older age, I have to at least make my life significant and do tons and tons of things. I want to feel contented, satisfied.

I'm not saying all of these will happen next year. But I swear, next year will be pivotal one for me.
