* Sustainability. I will double my efforts to live a green life. Ill spend less time in the shower, use every power-saving option on my computer, and make sure at least 90% of my material purchases are biodegradable.
* Restraint. I spent about $250 on books last month. It adds up fast, disconcertingly fast. My resolution: read all the books in my library before splurging on new ones. Or at least make a dent towards it.
* Discipline. Ive accepted that until I learn enough French to make a living, Im stuck with my little freelancing business. And freelancing entails discipline, which means spending more time on work and less on impromptu sessions of Dino Run.
* Patience. Waiting was never one of my strong suits. I feel myself losing money just waiting for my computer to boot. This year, I will listen to Frankie when he says its okay to take my sweet time and let things run their course.
* Rest. Whenever it seems Im blank, Im really lost in thought: making a mental to-do list, crunching numbers, or ticking off French verbs in my head. This year, Im allowing myself the occasional luxury of just zoning out.
* Adaptation. So I hate winter, but its not like I can sleep away three months of my life every year. So I will get used to the Canadian way of life, fat coats and sub-zero temperatures included.
* Health. I successfully made the switch to tea in Manila, only to revert to my age-old coffee addiction upon reaching Quebec. If I cant shrug off the coffee, Ill at least limit myself to one cup a day. And not the humongous cup that I cheat myself with Im talking regular 250-ml servings.
Last year was supposed to be my year, but fate screwed me over sometime in April. This year is supposed to be lucky for people like me who work way too hard. Maybe this is my year.
Year of the Ox, bring it on.

Son, I am not everything
You thought that I would be
But every story I have told
Is part of me
Son, I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you
I are sneaking orks into your page.
