You can consider me as one of the folks who still comes up with New Year’s resolution. Towards the end of 2008, I really put some thought on kicking one or two bad habits come Jan 1st. You know, to start the year right yada, yada, yada…..
So, I had three resolutions: 1) Quit smoking 2) Do boxing again 3) Let go of emotional baggage (Read: Let go of guys who are not into you). And I followed the advice of the experts --- let your friends know your resolutions to support you and to challenge you. I know this year will be different and I plan to fulfill all of them.
2009 came. Jan 1st, I was so pissed off by my ex that I called my friend, who was also pissed off by his ex. We had a ranting and venting session at Starbucks and to really let out the anger, Marlboro lights was all willing to be part of our company. So there goes my #1.
It’s now February. I have no clue where my boxing gloves are. The wraps I bought 6 months ago are still in my car compartment – plastic wrapped. I have a thousand excuses when my friend invites me to the gym. I am 10 lbs heavier than last year and I still am not motivated to go boxing. So #2? Yeah, you guessed it!
New Year’s resolution #3 is kinda tricky. Let me just say, by default, I was not able to kick this habit. Why? Because they’re not popping into my life at the moment. Technically I never had the opportunity to let them go – because they let go of me first. Ouch! Haha. It’s quite hard dealing with guys who are not into you. Trust me! See my future blogs (note: plural) on this topic.
So, statisticians out there, count me in on the people-who-make-new-year-resolutions-but-don’t-get-to-fulfill-them list. Sad to say I’m part of this sorry number. What’s more pathetic is, I’m part of this sorry number year-after-year. Damn my friends who make me not forget my promises from last year.
In short, 2009 is no different than 2008. Same shit different year ….
