aimless.. part ii
Wow - I was just about to write another blog entry titled, "aimless.." when i thought i may have already typed one up. so i looked through my old entries, and found an incomplete and unpublished entry... - so i've just posted it incomplete so i can write up part ii...
----
i just woke up about an hour ago - again, wondering what i am doing. i can't go on anymore without setting goals in my life. otherwise, life will just pass me by... all i seem to do these days is work and spend all my money on useless crap like fine dining and more clothes and shoes, leaving myself with no savings at the end of each month - often finding myself in debt even.
so, it's been confirmed that i will be promoted to a manager in a week's time. i do relatively well at work - but only because that is something that i'm good at and i can set realistic goals to get me where i am.
but life is so different. or maybe not. maybe i just need to break it down into bite-sized chunks.
Goal 1) Feel more energized
Target a) Eat healthier and appropriate portions of food.
Target b) Go back to the gym.
Target c) Drink less. Drink more water or something.
Goal 2) Save some money to invest in something important like a deposit for an apartment
Target a) Fine dine less and less extravagently
Target b) Shop less and make do with what i already own.
Target c) Stop buying things for the apartment - I probably wont be here much longer
Goal 3) En joy my life more.
Target a) Find something that i enjoy doing that doesn't involve eating, shopping, drinking or spending more money. e.g.........
i) go to the park
ii) find free events (but most were over when summer ended)
iii) walk around nyc and discover more
iv) do walking tours from all the touristy books i own
v) go to the museums
Goal 4) Appreciate the good things i already have in my life
Target a) keep in contact with my family and good friends
Target b) continue to do well at work
Goal 5) Expand and grow?
Target a) make new friends
Target b) see new things
Target c) do new things
Target d) visit new places e.g. south america? europe?
Target e) take new courses e.g. learning to read and write chinese? pilates? yoga?
Target f) cook more?
that sounds about right... maybe now i won't feel so aimless?? :P

hum... goals are good..
but living is just about being BALANCED.
All work and no play sucks.. and vice versa.
Well, atleast you got the working part sorted.. youre still young so you dont really have to settle down just yet... but i still think taking care of your health is one of the most important things - with that i mean - physical health and mental ( that is- being happy with who you are)...
just my few cents worth. =P
hey sweets,
Your plan sounds really perfect in theory, but the tricky bit is taking action. hehee how much of it have u done?
To drink more water, you should keep a 1.5L bottle at your desk that you can always refill. Re. money, think about where you wanna buy an apartment (I don't think you can depend on me cos I'm way too poor). The rest is too hard. I reckon you should just come home so we can all look after each others well being =P
