resolutions for 2009

i have two Must-Dos which are relatively simple to keep:

1. i wont keep thoughts of the past in my head. truth be told, 2008 had been spent wondering and reminiscing about the past (especially the second part of the year). i hadnt stopped myself from those fantasies even though i could easily. but i will not be spending useless time thinking about those things anymore in 2009, because they arent good stuff for the brain/heart. of course, i cant stop such thoughts from surfacing but i can stop myself from wandering off.

2. i wont argue with my sister incessantly anymore, like we've been for the past couple of months. i still feel like knocking sense into her obstinate head sometimes but fighting is no use. she's family and even if she gets on my nerve a million times over, i still love her. plus, she's always been giving in to my whims and warped sense of idealism so it's really payback time..and hopefully pay it forward as well. the best thing is...i have a knack for being patient with stubborn people.

seriously, they are more achievable than previous shallow new year resolutions because they will make me a better person. as always, there's a possibility i might waver but lets not go there first.
