i lurrrrve siskabaybee in this pic. CUTENESS. as for me. *horrors*. what big teeth i have. urrgghhh!








my own sorority...

okie. the photos are not related to what i'm gonna write. though our post christmas-slumber party was a total bash. hahahahaha... with only the three b's in the house. heh. oh waddaheck. we look sassy in dian's christmas gift. hee hee.

these just came to mind albeit the messyness and shleepyness. heh.

i've never been a fan of new year's resolutions. for one thing, they DON'T work! (at least for me it didn't) . i find that they are shortlived, totally uninspiring and make you feel really bad about yourself. so i came to conclude that resolutions are a setup for failure. and another thing, its just not meant to happen. maybe cause a year is too short for someone to achieve some things.

i think ah, we are not inspired by deprivation, like, "I will stop biting my nails this year! i will quit smoking, lose weight, and cusses less under my breath whenever i think no one heard me". blah blah blah. all those things that sound like a big drag and only implying that there's something WRONG with us.

so this year, which is still early for two double 'O' seven, i propose a different way. instead of all that, we shall create lists of intentions that get us truly inspired. such as, "I am committed to travel and explore the most delicious different culture from around the world" or "I intend to create a peaceful, nourishing healthy life for myself."

just simply reframing our intentions making them so much more inviting and fun to pursue. and which are more likely to get us moving.

These were some lists i've made at the end of last year:

Things i learned in 2006:

10 things i am grateful for:

10 things i intend to create for myself in 2007: ( i'm still struggling with no. 2 btw, but it got me moving. heh)

and finally, the whopper- the mondo beyondo list. fad told me about the mondo beyondo list several years back, which she stumbles online reading various ppl's journal. she was inspired by it and decides to do one for herself. this is the list of things that are outrageous, wild and may not even happen for 5 to 10 years from now. this is the list of things that you think only happen in your wildest dreams and very unlikely to happen that you are afraid to even write them down. but this, might be the most important list of all. the FATHER of all lists.

this is where 'a home in the swiss alps' goes to, the 'meeting johnny depp', the 'quit my job and wanders the world' or watever makes you grin and feel jazzy just thinking about it. and the great thing about these lists is that you don't need to believe they will happen as you write them. by simply writing it down is an act show of faith... even if you're thinking "yeah right" as you jot them down. plus, don't worry to think big okie! this is your mondo beyondo. heheh.

you can even write a few of your mondo beyondo here. hahahah.

i dare you.

but it's still, 'aspire&inspire' theme for me this year. heh.
