2010

I was single for more than a week. My girlfriend flew home for vacation. Yes! I would be able to live a (geek)single’s life again. Read till I drop, watch all my unwatched series and surf till my eyes grew sore.

But like all good plans that I have, I was not able to execute. I was awash with a lot of activities. I covered our party and needed to process those pictures(which came out good BTW), I needed to setup some financial accounts here and there,  jog, prepare for a trip and research if getting an FA31mm is worth it.

2009 was like that. All my grand plans came to naught because either I was too optimistic of my schedule or I don’t have discipline and easily gets distracted.

For 2010 my main theme would be focus and discipline. I have enough things to do and I have the plan. I just need to execute them well and not get distracted. Getting distracted has been a problem of mine since I was a kid. I have two books when I review for an exam, the textbook and the pocketbook that I want to finish. Imagine what will happen if I have three exams for a day. Last time I have that I quit my job.

For the short term(first half of 2010) I want to take my IMC exam. I was supposed to review this week but alas, I was only able to review a little. I also need to update myself just in case I was made redundant. Our company was bought and layoff might not be far.

For the long term I want to think of something that could really earn me money. I earn enough but I don’t want to be an employee forever. I want to invest my money on something. For 2010 I will do my research.

Gadgets must have for 2010? I want another prime lens(something on the cheap side). I really wanted to complete my FA Limited collection but those are out of budget for the meantime. Maybe I will scour the second hand market for a good prime lenses. I also like to increase my post-processing skills.

Modest goals for the year 2010. I hope to execute them.

Merry Christmas!
