Goal for 2010

In spite of the financial pressures that I went through last year, I still would like to report in my journal that 2009 was a good year for me. Well first, I was able to acquire my own domain. Second, my first nephew was born. Third, my total annual income is higher compared with the previous years although the expenses still exceeded the earnings.  And then I also met a few nice friends and I have a good feeling they are for keeps.

Of course, I’ve also had some disappointments. Like not being able to meet my target blogging income and not being able to find a new job. But I’m not losing heart. In fact, these disappointments are just pushing me to work doubly hard so that 2010 will be better than 2009 In no particular order, here are my goals:

• make time for my blogging activities. I really intend to update my posts at least twice a week.
• get a new job – the kind that I really love doing. I’ve already gotten tired of being a QA.
• try my luck in freelance writing – I’m not sure if I have the talent but there’s no harm in trying, right?
• go back to school or at least get a TEFL certificate – this one’s a bit complicated as it will require time and money, lots of money.
• learn how to swim – only optional. Maybe if things get too boring, I might enroll in an inexpensive  swimming class.
