Refresh. Restart. Let's go!

Unintentionally, exactly a year has passed by since I've even looked at this place.  I've definitely gotten too lazy with this place, and with 2013 now officially in, I want to try to start anew and get things in order here again!  But first, as my last post was on my 2012 goals, let's start with an evaluation of 2012.

2012 Goals (From this post)

• Take more pictures.  Utter failure.  My friend took 99% of the photos for my Taiwan/Japan trip this year. *hangs head in shame*
• Lead a healthy lifestyle.  Did exercise a bit, but not consistently enough.  OL life hasn't been too bad to my body though; been able to maintain my weight for the most part.  Semi-accomplished goal.
• Learn to live more with less.  Bought several big items, but I don't regret any of them.  Could always save a little more money, but I hit my savings goal.  Accomplished - success!
• Keep up language abilities.  This will definitely be a lifetime goal, as it's hard to keep up language skills when you don't use them daily.  So still working on this....trying to find a Korean language exchange partner in Houston now.  If you know anyone, hit me up! 

2013 Goals

• Update blog template.  I have ideas, it's just a matter of getting it from my brain to your eyes.  Setting an ambitious goal of having this done by end of January. 
• Blog at least once a week.  100 blog posts failed (here) so I'm cutting it to something more manageable.  Rather than focus on the number of posts, I hope to make blogging a habit like keeping a diary.  
• Learn how to use my camera. Since I intend to focus more on my blog this year, this seemed to be a good goal to have in parallel.
• Achieve my career goal.  It's already been almost a year since I started my first full-time job.  Now that I've fully adapted, I'm ready for the next step.
• Memorize a Chinese poem a month.  I can't believe 3 years has already passed since I first posted this up.  Only 3 out of 21?!  Unacceptable! So here's my attempt to cross out #2 on the list.
• Finish reading Sherlock Holmes series.  I still am struggling to get myself to read more as this is very hard to juggle with my drama watching life.  
• Meet more people.  Moving to a new city is always hard because you have to rebuild your social circle.  I already have met some wonderful people in Houston, but would like to continue to expand that circle this year.

Hope you guys will occasionally drop in to monitor my progress and root for me!  And belated but still, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
