Time To Change

New Year has always been the best time for many of us to change, no matter what it is we want to change.  Be it our bad habits, body weight and more, depends on how we look back the year before.  The most common New Year’s resolutions of all times are to quit smoking and to lose weight.  I’m glad I don’t smoke and I don’t weigh tons so this spares me from this kind of changes.  But this doesn’t spare me from thinking about something to change in me or in other aspect.  I’ll leave it for myself whatever it is because it’s kind of too personal to mention anything that concerns me and my personality.  Ok, to be less indiscreet, I want to be as sexy as Scarlett Johansson, hahaa!  Tell me it’s possible or I will kick you out of my blog. :-)

Back to being serious (am I serious?) and speaking of time to change,  I do want to change my blogging routine and I’ve been pondering about this for a long time now.  This blogging is somewhat stealing much of my precious time that’s supposed to be intended for something more valuable, but why on earth can’t I ignore it even for a week or two.  I feel guilt when I can’t write something.  Isn’t it silly?  It’s like I am obligated to work for this site even without compensation.  To solve this silliness, I’ve come up with a blogging routine to keep me grounded.  I may sacrifice bloghopping sessions and visiting communities as this takes up more time than blogging itself.  Perhaps I could find ways to keep my commenters coming back in the long run.  I can’t think of other alternative than this one.  Until then, happy blogging and keep it all year round.

    My- I envy you! I am here struggling to loose my weight everyday and you don’t even have that problem. :) You know, alot of my friends eat so much and still manage to keep so slim, I wonder how they do it, and otherwise, maybe it’s their god’s gift. :) ANyway, wishing you a great new year and may wishes come true.

    Oh, I don’t think you need the needed diet. Just a little discipline on food intake, hehee! But I do want to gain a little weight, too. It’s doesn’t mean I’m sexy cos I’m slim, not my ideal figure however. Good luck to us! :-)

    Ok no kicking! but don’t we all wish we were sexy!? ahem! I have this crazy dream of looking sexy in a little black dress on Chinese new year. Anyway, I hear ya. I also have the same dilemma about blogging and hopping. I wish there was an easy way. Let me know if you found and easy way. Nonetheless, I’m inviting you to a social network I created for immigrants like us. I would love to have you join. It’s my only means of meeting fellow filipinos! :) Please invite your friends too! http://toastybrown.ning.com – see you there!
