Am finally up and running, alive and kicking again after what it seems like an eternity of not-in-my-element. You see, had been feeling under the weather since Thursday, yeah, on my birthday! What else can be suckier than that?! I spent the entire day in bed, coughing like an old machine gun and sneezing like it would never stop. Not only that, my throat was on fire, as dry as Sahara and my voice… oh boy… Even a crow sounds better than I did. To cut to the chase, I was in a really bad shape, real bad… To those who have been asking how did I celebrate my 22nd birthday…  Well, now you get the picture, huh?

Argh, I should really refrain myself from complaining too much about work and everything, not when I’ve just decided to take a more positive approach in life, I mean, to look at things from every possible positive angle. *Taking in deeeeep breath* Alright, I must unveal the list of what I would like to achieve in another 365 days ahead as a 22-year-old and here we go.

1. Eat slower
2. Drink 8 liters of water everyday, eat more vegetables
3. Pick up Yoga and maybe start visiting gym.
4. Say prayers before going to bed (haven’t done that in a loooong time)
5. Reduce time spending complaining about work and crabby, crappy, not-   so-civilized co-worker or who-so-ever. Instead, spend more time doing work and constructive activities.
6. Attempt to thrive under pressure.
7. Stop hating pressure and deadlines. These are good for the brain. (I must be nuts)
8. Increase intellectual level, read more intellectual materials rather than chick-lits.
9. Talk intelligently (not that I don’t talk intelligently but then again, MORE
10. Say No
11. Forgive and forget… More
12. Be a considerate and understanding daughter, granddaughter, cousin, colleague, employee, road user (driver)
13. Make patience my second name. (errrm, this is absolutely achievable, I think)
14. Stop getting so panicky
15. Focus on things which are worth focusing. Same apply to people.
16. Be more ZEN-like or cucumber-like
17. More self-poise, MORE
18. Calm and composed at all times
19. Reduce the intensity of the usage of ’stupid’
20.Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
21. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
22. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
23. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
24. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
25. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
26. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
27. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
28. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
29. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
30. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
31. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
32. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
33. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
34. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past
35. Shaopaholism will be a thing in the past, yeah, so yesterday, so yesterday…

So, I think I am a year wiser… I am saying goodbye to excessive shopping sprees after all. I will be of course more Zen-like and anger will hardly presence in my close-to-Buddha-approach. I will not silently cursing stupid and inconsiderate drivers, instead will be very tolerant to their not-so-smart behaviour. I will not secretly wish someone who offended me to step on banana skin and fall skywards and loss their two front teeth, instead, I will be really forgiving and thank them for making me stronger. So you see, I am really a year wiser now, aren’t I?
