A New Year…2008
Usually I would at least post something at New Years wishing everyone a Happy New Year…but this time around I was so absorbed in the world of anime that I didn’t feel up to updating my blog. I haven’t felt like writing anything for a long time. I remember a while back last year that I said that I would like to make a promise to finish a story by the end of the year. Whether or not that was a definite promise, I have failed yet again to finish a story. Starting a story is easy enough but parts of a story always fall apart sometime or another.
I can, however, proudly say I haven’t procrastinated once on homework assignments and projects for an entire semester. I performed well academically and the classes weren’t too challenging for once.
2007 wasn’t exactly my best year. It may well be my worst year ever, but I’ve learned many things that year that I hadn’t known previously. For that, I cannot forget the events that have occurred no matter how much I want to forget them.
My resolutions for 2008 will be to become a better person and become more like those I look up to and admire the most. Even if I can change just a little, that will satisfy me. I will also continue to not procrastinate and receive As in all my classes. I will continue to work on my story, make many changes along the way, and become closer to finishing it. I am currently gathering ideas from various anime shows I watch. When I do finish, I will post that story on the web. Until then, I still have a lot of work ahead of me. I will find a better job than the one I have now. I will also try to become more literate in Chinese.
I know it may be late, or maybe not, but I wish everyone a magnificent New Year full of hopes, dreams, and accomplishments!
Edit: I have some paintings that I just uploaded. Also if any of you have time, could you please visit my forum?

i always used to make these kinds of resolutions but i never fulfill them so i just stopped, lol. i figure it’s just better to enjoy life now and not dwell too much on the past or future. hope 2008 goes better for you!
That is quite a list of resolutions, best of luck! in particular “I will also try to become more literate in Chinese”. perhaps not be the hardest on your list, but many of the people i know don’t feel it is important to their lives anymore and can’t find time for it.
Happy new year to you as well! (though the year of the rat still almost a month away)
Happy New Years to you as well, I hope 2008 is an amazing year for you! I really like your paintings they’re great. I try to better myself each year, but I think that I try way too hard, and I usually never change. This year I didn’t make any ‘offical’ resolutions, I’m just planning to do a few things here and there.
Anime eh? I’ve got a friend who is super-obsessed with anime
I’m sorry 2007 wasn’t so good, but hope 2008 will be better for you
Happy New Year 2008! Same here, 2007 wasn’t nice. But all the best in 2008
I like your new painting. It’s really nice. Somehow it reminds me of Beauty and the Beast
If it helps you can be fluent in Chinese by reading some online articles in Chinese, or even just talk to others in Chinese. I dropped out of Chinese classes after grade three, but managed to learn it afterwards by talking.
Happy 2008 to you too! I’m quite the same anime-wise; it’s eaten up so much of my year!
I don’t think I’ve ever set a proper resolution for myself … I guess I could start this year, then.
it’s good that you learned a lot in 2007 and i hope 2008 will be wonderful for you! i don’t really ‘do’ resolutions either, but i’m planning to have lots of fun this year! that’s what it’s all about!
to answer your question about that title of one of my posts… “People should smile more” is actually a song by Newton Faulkner.
I don’t think 2007 was a good year for a lot of people… it definitely wasn’t a positive year for myself either. It’s always good to spend the new years with reflections and what not… I really enjoy your layout and post! Wondering if you’d like to exchange links?
Thanks a ton! You’ve been linked!
Here’s to a better year.
I never do resolutions because I never keep them. Plus, they give me undue pressure for the year to come.
Your resolutions are reasonable though! Here’s a tip to help you kick the procrastination habit - time mananagement (with short breaks in between your work). (: It works for me! Haha.
All the best for the year ahead. Happy 2008 dear!
