2013 wishlist and resolutions

revisiting my 2012 wishlist at the end of the year was fun, so let me do this again... :-)

1.) push through with the trips planned as early as last year (with plane tix pa! hehe). my 2013 will be a little restricted in terms of travel because of the pregnancy so will just have to stick with a few already planned trips this year.... :-) 
    • a. CDO-Camiguin-Iligan with Kaladkarin (Feb!) - while this is supposed to be an action-filled trip, I will have to create 2 itineraries - one for the rest of the group who would still go white water rafting, zipline, hike and all, and another for my leisure trip because i'll be 5months pregnant by then... :-)
    • b. Lakewood roadtrip with Kaladkarin (April!) - a 4-hr drive from Zamboanga City...hoping to bring paolo with us during this trip, and hoping i can still endure that 4hr drive (i'll be 7mos pregnant by then hehe)
    • c. Luzon roadtrip with Leo's boys (Sept!) - pre-planned dahil may tix na! pero destination unknown pa rin! hahaha... although kakatapos lang ng maternity leave ko nito... go pa rin!!! or baka nga pasok pa sa maternity leave ko? haha :D pao's got his own tix too, this will be his pre-2nd bday celebration, dahil i want him to celebrate his new year someplace new to him... :-)
    • d. Manila pre-christmas trip (Nov!) - although no tix pa, pero i want to be in Manila before the craziness of christmas and just in time when all the lights and decorations are up... want to bring the 2 kids na din... since my sis' family won't be coming home in december, we still have an excuse to have a pre-christmas date with them! :D
    • e. Attend Dianne's wedding!!! (Dec!!) - kahit na she missed my wedding, i want to be there during hers...it'll be a sort of mini-reunion for my GE girlfriends! quick trip pero will really save the date for this trip... :D


2.) see to completion that one major project that me and the hubby set for ourselves. this is definitely big for us now, but it's already a need so we're really pushing for it... :-)


3.) a baby girl to complete the family!!! a little cheat here...i'm already pregnant so no more effort from us, just a little wish that it'll be a girl. we'll be able to find out a few more weeks from this post... but a baby boy is still a welcome gift to us! :-)


4.) breastfeed!!! yes! i really want to breastfeed pao but since i had a little prob with some infection last time and the daddyboo can not resist but feed the baby with formula milk after crying his lungs out, pao ended up preferring the feeding bottles. i tried to pump milk for a month but that did not sustain it...so im really really pushing for this for the coming baby, nobody touches the baby unless i say so! hehehe :D


5.) create 20 blogposts every month for Promding Chamimay. ok, will really push myself to the limits for Promding Chamimay...hehe well actually i just want to make sure i get to document stuff around me as much as i can...i dont want to feel defeated with tons of "bloglog" at the end of the year... :D


6.) de-clutter and organize our room. we're not pushing through with overhauling the entire room yet because we decided to do the whole house, but that would still be a project for next year... considering there'll be 4 of us who will be living in that room this year so i just want to keep my sanity and make things organized around...  :D


7.) hit my work goals. i've got tons! aside from the company goals, i have a lot in my area too.. i guess i need to really get organize with these goals para kahit upto some extent e we'll reach something... :-)


8.) lose 25% of my pregnancy weight by end of the year! haha! i am still hoping that i won't gain so much wait this time...so far i have gained 10lbs during the 1st 4months of the pregnancy, hoping i will only stick to 25lbs reasonable weight gain for pregnant women... :D but whatever's the case, i'm trying not to be harsh on myself and will only target 25% weight loss by end of the year... :-) i'll lose the rest next year... :D


9.) balance work-school-blog-leo-pao-luna-me time...and procrastinate less! no further explanation... :D


10.) learn to bake! target: 3 recipes ulit. another chance on this... :-) if i'll keep no.9 i'm sure i'll be able to do this! hehehe :D hmn, let's see where to start... pandesal, cupcakes, cookies!


11.) double our savings and learn the stock market trading. with all the plans this year, including the major one...i'm having my fingers crossed for the savings... :D


12.) read 3books at least.  i'm dying to move on to Lasher and Taltos asap! that's 2 already... :-) i miss the feeling of being somewhere while reading, hope i can keep this one up this year... :-)


13.) learn dress-pattern making. as if i won't be full with the list above plus the coming baby...hehehe i know this one's a long shot pero malay mo nga naman di ba... :-)


i'll stick with just 13 (for 2013! haha corny!)... but this list's already looks loaded for me, i guess this is more than enough... :D wish me luck!!!

  5. Cool that you're coming to CDO. I suggest that when you visit Zipzone, you also visit Mountain Pines Place. If you have the numbers above 10 or more, then I suggest you book there.

  8. ay, I like your goals, same as mine, pero I think I will concentrate on saving and paying my credit card debt so I can get rid of it. If I have credit card kasi, para akong napossess and would buy things I havent even planned for haha

  9. Hope you get all your goals. Breastfeeding #2 came easier for me back then and am in the process of weaning my #3 now as she is nearing 2.5yrs old.

  15. On no. 9, that's a whole of balancing there...but I know you can do it. And then you still have work goals aside from this...what a busy gal you are :-)

    ReplyDelete
  16. This is really loaded, Charmee! But wish you the best for all your trips!

  17. What an exciting list! Sa travel goals pa lang I'm inggit already, kasi we didn't really get to travel last year. I really really hope we can have a BC Bloggers get together when you come to Manila, that will be something no? :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Having goals each and every year is great. I try and set some goals to attain each month to keep myself busy and entertained

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow! Goodluck on your goals for this year. May all of us reach our target before the year end. It's nice to accomplish something worth it :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow for a pregnant lady, this is lot of things to do!!! Ha ha But you have my support, and wish you all the best! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes, for a pregnant lady, this is indeed very challenging. But knowing Promding Chamimay, I think you can do about 80% - 90% of this!

  22. I would love to learn dressmaking but I am not pushing myself too hard. I am planning to venture into a new world of baking bread and pastries as an addition to my love for cakes. Pero sana magka time ako for dress making. And oh, if you breastfeed, you will lose your preggy wait so fast!

    ReplyDelete
  23. So many things on your list! I want to stick with just a little or I would really feel like a failure if I don't accomplish many. I will also try to do some other things I didn't list down, so I could be pleasantly surprised with myself. Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  24. The fact that you've created this wish list at the start of the year makes me think that you're aiming to accomplish everything as well. I know you're determined to finish it off before or at the end of the year. So good luck! :-)

  25. Since you're preggy na on you CDO trip I think you'll be spending most of your time in the mall while your friends are enjoying the rafting and zipline. hehe..
