Here's to new resolutions

Happy 2012 to all! The year just flew by. Have to say that i had an awesome new years eve. Yeah sure i spent like $130, but i did have a good time. My friends and i went to a banquet hall and did the whole dinner and dance shuh-bang. Is that how you spell it? When the clock struck midnight i was extremely happy because i had done it. I had kept my resolution from last year, and stayed strong. Despite the immense peer pressure and availability of it during 2011, i refrained from a bad temptation. I'm happy that i was able to stick to my goal. But the sad thing was, i didn't make a new resolution, am i going to stick to the same one from last year? Maybe. But i feel that's a cop-out. I also wanted a new years kiss from him of course. Unfortunately, that could not happen. So when everyone else was coupled off kissing their significant others when the clock struck 12, i kissed my best friend Lais. Well, it was a peck, so i highly doubt that it counts as a 'i kissed a girl and i liked it kinda thing'. And might as well kiss someone you know than a stranger right (which i wouldn't have done anyways) But it's definitely something that i can cross off my bucket list. I really hope this year has many good things to offer, not complaining from 2011 because SO many good things happened last year. But i'm looking to top that of course :) Who knows, maybe i'll go to France, pass my proficiency test, get a car? Here's to the new year =D

Impressions

First impressions are undoubtedly very important. I mean, I find myself in a career where I need to go into the classroom with confidence and a glowing attitude or else my students will walk all over me and take advantage. And God only knows that I don’t want to be a doormat again (this ain’t London). I know that in a classroom, it’s not about being aggressive, rather assertive . That is the first impression I want to be able to depict to my students right from the get-go. Because let’s be honest, I still feel like a little girl (thank you petite-ness). Any important situation whether we’re at an interview, at a party or meeting our work team, the first impressions are so important and most of the times spot-on. Of course, you shouldn’t just judge someone on their first impression if it wasn’t the best, give them that benefit of the doubt. One feels more comfortable judging after they get to know someone. I mean, the truth is that you can’t live your life without being judged, t...

Thank you for the lesson

  A long time ago I came across some words of wisdom which explained the importance of forgiveness. At that stage in my life, I was completely anti forgiveness. I still understand why, and though I’d like to say my views on said topic have changed, I’d be slightly lying. I’m very good at blocking things out of my life, that’s how I cope. But every once in a blue moon, you get an unnecessary, by chance reminder. And it kinda takes you to mental head space you had kept far away. A few (many) words that I want to say to my past self; “You knew better. How could you allow it time after time? You wasted your time investing energy and effort into a dead end. Feels dumb doesn’t it? Everything that was said, was said to break you, all excuses, immaturity and white noise. Realize it and understand. Not everyone you meet will have good intentions and true sentiments. Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apologies you’ve never gotten. Don’t free the criminal from the crime, just f...
