The year 2009 is coming to an end; and like most instances, New Year’s resolutions are always a norm for almost everyone. A cliché line where most people say New Year’s resolutions are some of the things we can’t abide to, but personally I view them as pillars of strength for me to achieve it or even overcome the latter.

Fortunately, 2009 has been fruitful for me. Frankly, over the years I can see that I am becoming a better person. Rather than past years where every night is with fun, joy and laughter, I managed to do some things beneficial this year. Like a childhood friend said, “Rather than you sitting at void decks being a nuisance to public, go do something beneficial instead.” At first it meant nothing to me but as time goes by, it hit me hard, right into my head.

People always change and it’s usually the latter’s resolution; where they would put “I’m going to be a better person in 2010”, even myself. But the bottom line is, do other people even notice it, or would they judge you based on your past and forward it to now. I know people of this “kind” and they are a lot. Their greatest powers are their mouths which seemed impossible to be sealed. Looking it at a positive way, just take it that their life’s are pathetic, which explains them butting into other people’s life. Quoted from Shandy, “No matter how much progress and changes I have made, others will always label me as who I am, how I behave ‘usually’ in the past.” I find that statement very true, period.

On a lighter note, smoking is still a part of my life now, which I always dreamt of kicking that habit. But smokers never give up, even when it comes to smoking where the habit of giving up seems not to be given up. On the bright side, smoking itself increases your social circle. Going to coffee-shop during breaks for school is like a daily routine for me and my clique, and I had met great people there. People called friends. Speaking about friends, I need to treasure all my friends that I have now and be with them during up’s and down’s. Thus far, I’m content that there are friends whom have been with me during my ups and downs of life. The times when I’m in a fucked-up relationship, the times when I’m kicking the habit of drugs, the times when I’m always in trouble as well as celebrating my 18th birthday on the 18th November every year.

Other than that, 2009 also marks the things I want to buy before 2010. And yes, I like labels ~
