Okay! So I'm not a big fan of new year festivity. But December surely is an interesting month. This is why:
1. Everyone has their melancholic stories savings for a year and can sum it up for a day or even an hour.
2. Most people are in the another-intersection-of-li fe where they think to move on with their life, their partner, their job, etc. i love listen to their thoughts on this. the alteration of life...
3. We realize that karaoke is a need, not an activity. (we realize it even more, at least me).
4. Malls should really find other cheerful Christmas songs for next years. I MEAN IT!
5. The fake snows? it is fun, really. i mean, hey, childrens love it.
6. Midnight Sale. No comment on this. But i bought a nice Polo Classic back pack with low price, which is cool.
7. Gossip Girl season 2? It has nothing to do with December, of course, but Gossip Girl is an escape for many people in the world who tired with political, bombs and war news the whole year.
8. Resolution. last week a colleague asked me what's my resolution for 2009. i said,"i stop making resolution". just try to better and better. touché.
9. Classic regret. you wished you were not doing this and that and added up black notes on your bad memory list of the year. but, c'mon, life needs challenges, right?
10. PLANSSSSS with many "s". go with it! do what you want. nothing is impossible :)
11. Proud. we are proud that we can through the 11 months of the year, with all the good and bad. love every moment of this, keep them on your mind. we never know when we need this "proud" to boost energy when we are "down".
12. Financial crisis. looooooonnngg holiday. people make plans for x'mas holiday and new year eve, not to mention the meet & greet with old friend, college friends, hang out friends. you name it and count the bills :P
13. Reinventing yourself. CHANGE. MOVE. it can be related to anything. remember, plan will do good with implementation. cliche but always work.
14. Alcohol. how many alcohol were consumed on December. many, i believe. and probably higher than other months of the year. hint: more parties.
15. New look. yeah! this is interesting. i wonder how many people are seriously thinking about changing their look for next year. say, new hair cut or get your hair dyed? hello expensive hair dress studios! and hello credit card debt! :)
I'm wishing everyone a Happy Merry New Year. keep up the good work. let's conquer 2009 with love, peace, joy and success :)
xoxo
