My 2019 Goals

It had been a long 2018 but it seemed to be too short to complete our goals and aspirations for the year. There’s been a lot of setbacks for 2018 and some goals I wasn’t able to accomplish but this new year gives us a chance to reach them and maybe even make ourselves better. 2018 has been an unexpected year for me, I gained a lot of new dear friends and lost some that used to mean a lot. There’s also been great opportunities presented and blessings given. I can say I’ve grown a lot and learned a lot from last year and 2019 is going to be better. As my best friend always says, this is our year, we just need to strive hard and put our hearts into it. That is why I made a list of goals to accomplish this year that will make 2019 MY awesome year.

I made a Video of this on my Youtube Channel too if you want to watch it instead:

FINISH ALL TO-READ BOOKS (before buying new ones)

I need to stop buying books because I still have so much to-read books on my list. I checked my collection and found out I still have 45 books I haven’t read. I might have even missed some but as of this moment I counted 45 so that means I need to read 45 books before I can buy new ones. I am pretty sure there will be a lot of temptations for this year (I feel like there’s gonna be another Book Binge Bazaar this year and of course the yearly Manila International Book Fair) but I’ll try not to be marupok and finish all to-reads first before I give in.

ACQUIRE A NON-PROFESSIONAL DRIVER’S LICENSE

I have this one goal for 2020 that requires me to learn how to drive and to have a Driver’s license. I can’t share what it is right now but it is very important for me to get a license. I’m currently looking for a good Driving School that isn’t too expensive (because it’s 2019 and I’m still freaking broke lol). Anyone has any suggestions for a good Driving School (in the Philippines)?

SURPASS MY 2018 POST COUNT

I started to really focus on my blog last year after I’ve gotten my own domain name although I don’t think I’ve done a good enough job and only had a total of 25 posts for 2018. This year, I will really strive to have more blog posts and really helpful once and stay in touch with you guys more often.

LOSE WEIGHT

This has been a hard battle since the last quarter of 2018. I started my diet and managed to lose 2 kilos but I don’t think it’s enough. I really want to go back to the weight I had  before which is 50kg and I need fit into my old clothes again. Ugh. I am planning to have an exercise routine to help with losing weight but it will sure be hard for a lazy butt like me but I am motivated and will sure get my desire weight in half a year (Woo! That’s the spirit!)

GAIN 500 SUBSCRIBERS

If you watch my first video for 2018 (HALA 2018 NA) you’ll find that this is also my goal last year, to reach 500 subscribers. It’s been a year and I am only halfway through with 267 subscribers. LOL. I know I’ve neglected my Channel last year because of personal reasons I’ll discuss in a different post but this year I am determined to get back up and provide new entertaining and educational videos for my subscribers!

FINISH MY MANUSCRIPT

It’s probably more than a year now since I started writing my manuscript “The Wandering Heart” and like the goal prior to this I am only halfway through. HAHA. I’m at Chapter 5 and haven’t been able to continue since but I promise to finish it this year and hopefully submit it to my publisher. And maybe write a new one after that!

My other goals for this year:

• SAVE MONEY (Always very important)

• LEARN TO PLAY A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

• BE CONSISTENT WITH JOURNALING

• SKIN CARE

• MAKE MORE MONEY (VERY important lol)

Updating this post today, January 31, 2019:

Suddenly, some of my 2019 Goals changed because of an unexpected opportunity that I have been waiting for for 2 years now. I am unable to disclose what it is but I’m sure to keep you guys updated about it. But this will be something big and great for me. I hope you stick around to find out what it is. ❤️
