Hello Water Dragon!

The year that was

So yeah this year is about to end and there is nothing we can do about it. This year has a fair share of ups and downs, well at least for me. I won’t be dwelling on the downs. I’ve done things that I’m not really proud of but I don’t regret them. I know things like those happen for a reason. I’ve learned my lessons and will still learn some more. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m thankful for everything: family, friends, people who support and believe in me, pets, Zephyr, giveaways I’ve won, couple of life lessons, connecting and meeting with people I look up to (and stalk), having been able to know myself more and setting straight goals in my life and all the other blessings. Again, I'm very thankful.

The year that hopefully will be

New Year is fast approaching which means it’s time for New Year’s resolutions once again. I have a couple of them but I won’t be posting them here so that I’ll be the only one who knows that I fail myself for the nth time. Bwahaha! ^o^ Seriously though, I just don’t want them to backfire on me knowing that I posted it where everyone knows about it. So what I’ll be posting instead are the improvements I want to do/see in my blog.

Limit lengthy posts – you probably noticed by now that I tend to write lengthy posts (like this one) and I don’t want the readers to bore to death with my seemingly irrelevant stories, comments and whatever.

Better photos -  I've been taking photos with Zephyr (my dslr) for almost a year  now and I can say that I've improve. But still, I need to work hard a lot on my photography skills and this blog will witness that magical journey with Zephyr.

Change layout and banner – One of the things I’ve learned this year is basic html and css. What a better way to use them in my own blog, right? I also want my banner to be customized.

Have identity – I’ve been blogging for a year now and I don’t know where this blog is leading up to. But we’ll see. I intended to make this as my outlet for things that’s happening in my life and it served me that way until it became a burden to me to post regularly and I want that to change.

I know this is not blog related but the ultimate thing that I want for next year is to be a better person I want to be better in all aspects of my life. Pursue dreams and endeavors. Be more creative and hardworking. Make this year my year!

So that’s it. I’m about to finish my obligatory year-end post with what I’ve said, this year is about to end and we can’t do anything about it. Earth will continue to rotate but what we can do is make the New Year (and all the succeeding years) a better year for all of us.

Happy 2012 you guys! Be safe. (^_^)v
