HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

so… here we are nearby to the end of the year… it's the time when we always wanted to look behind a little and to be prepared to face the great future a head… ;-)

let's see… what happening in 2013 and what i'm going to do in 2014…

1. in career point of view
this year, my company is merging with an unfavorable other company if i might said… and it's not really a joyful moment for me, truthfully, i'm still considering to move to another company, if i have a better opportunity somewhere else… but for now, i guess for 2014, i'll stay…

considering, i have many things to do… which might be a little complicated if i work with another company…

so, what ever there are… let them be… i will just do my best… :D

2. getting away
we're going away to Gili Trawangan on March and to Singapore on September… they're a nice vacation and there's also something we needed to do to make sure…
too bad i didn't kept a journal about the journeys… i should do with our next travel… :D

i only plan to have a long weekend get away to Karimun Jawa this year… i have registered with a backpacker tour to go on the middle of April… and if i have more money to spend, maybe if we have time, we might even go to Kiluan Beach at Lampung too… but only one for sure, we're going to Karimun Jawa… finally, yay!

i don't have many day leaves this year, too many cuti bersama :d - however if God permit, we plan on joining Vipassana retret on May… but i don't know if i can take my day leaves, since one or more of my colleagues already have said that s/he will take theirs on May… since there is one week, with 2 holidays in the middle of the week… so tempting for us to take day leaves as long as we want :d

we have a nice planing to go to Paris though, a couple of months a go, but turned out that we couldn't afford the costs and we have many other planing ahead…
if we can save money, maybe someday, we can even go around Europe ;-)

3. personal development
i really wish that i can take at least 2 subjects for insurance professional examination… and somehow pass… :D

and i will still working with my poor French… getting old with have no times to study… yeah! i really undependable on time management…

4. passion
yes! i have found my passion… it's book, anything to do with books… and writing…

Indah has asked me to challenge our self to write a story… at least one story a month, if i'm not mistaken, this year… i hope i really can do that…

i was already starting to write a story and then i hate the characters… and i just stop :D
i think i should try to write again...

the Book Blogger Indonesia (BBI) group which i join late 2012, turned out to be a really nice group of people, though not really nice on book spending… but i have good times (mostly) being within the group…

new activities regarding to read books and write reviews on them… have reading challenges… though, i only managed to success on my Goodreads RC, i've already joined 2 reading challenges for 2014 and i might still continue joining the other two i've joined on this year.

but my goal is to read (if i can) all my books, especially the old ones and the secondhand books i bought this year… :D

i hope i can manage to buy just ebook for the new ones… still can't promise anything about that…

5. style
i guess, i have written how i feel about myself… and since i'm getting fat, i guess there's no reason for not feel good about my self… though, i'll also will try to manage my weight… but… regarding to my clothes and outfits… i won't use my too small clothes now…

i've already bought a couple of batik dresses to wear to the office… i hope those dresses will help me to feel good about myself after all  ;-)

6. relationship with other
i think 2014 will be a though year for me in the office, so i guess, i should manage my relationship with others better…

i will try not to talk about people at all, either it's a good thing or even more it's a bad thing… i will try not to thing about other at all… not for planning to be ego centrist… it's just that… caring about people is not the same with nosing about people…

i wouldn't let my self to bother about what other people's doing, i just want to concentrate and focus about what i'm doing… since i have a lot to do… so i guess i don't have much time to think about other's business too…

and i even have the plan to not thinking at all… hehe… not being stupid or stubborn… just being mindfulness with my important issues, rather than just other people's issue…

so…

my personal 2014 resolution will be "To feel good about myself" and stop talking about others… and also the most important things... to manage my spending and my time... :D

Happy New Year 2014 every one… thank you for being with me all this years :3
