Weekend is here again. I slept till about 10 today. It was the best rest I had all week. Now that I’ve regain most of my energy, it is time to do some recollection.

I’m rechecking all my blogs – time to revamp and rethink about the contents. I hope after all that I would still have time to re-evaluate my Japanese self-study program. I’ve been slacking since Christmas holiday as workload has increased at the daycare and at home. I’m feeling tired every day.

I love my job but God knows how much I miss having plenty of time to do all the things I want.  Weekends are indeed precious times these days.

After a long break from watching animes or from watching anything else for that matter, for the past two days it was sort of a release. I watched all 26 episodes of ‘Busou Renkin’ and continued with ‘Witch Hunter Robin’. With all the cool anime websites around, at least I don’t have to figure out how to download youtube videos to watch for later this time.

I could catch Japanese phrases or words I understand. Feels good that at least there is some improvement even though my Japanese studies are going real slow as I am trying to learn in between work, home and family.

It is usually when the weather is cold and gray that I reminisce about the days when I was back home where it is either raining and chilly or dry and hot. I tend to get a little homesick sometimes regardless  of how many times I denied it when ever someone asked me the question of being homesick. Seems to me that if I said yes, the feeling would just get worse, so it was better to just lie.

In fact, if I feel the homesickness is a little unbearable, I would simply give a call back home. It is nice to hear familiar voices that you miss so much. Calls are cheaper these days, if only the signals are better. I think in one call session, I would be disconnected at least 2-3 times. Just made me think of getting a wilson booster for cellullar signal amplifier. Oh well, an interrupted call is better than no call at all right?

With the temperature outside being really cold and dark right now, I really wish I am back home where it is warm and sunny.

First of all: Happy New Year to you visitor.

So far, after 4 days into the new year, life has been good. I look forward to many more happy days ahead. I am actually not a New Year resolution type of person. Afterall you don’t need to wait for New year to start a list of resolution. Right? Furthermore, most of the time my resolution is almost the same every year anyway – Lose more weight, be more forgiving, slowly but surely try to get rid of bad habits.

Did I achieve any of those last year? no and yes. I didn’t lose more weight I think but at least I maintained it well. I forgave someone as I started to talk to that person whom I had not spoken to for a year (or more). As for bad habits, I was not online as much as before. All these I tend to keep on doing.

This year I added a little bit more things on my resolution list. I’d like to keep a nice clean home at all times, even if I’m tired from work. I used to let the place get messy and do major clean up on the weekends. (At least I do clean up my home every weekend ). My floor may not be like one of those pretty looking quick step floors, but at least they are always clean now. Secondly, I’d like to meditate everyday. I meditated before, but not everyday. But now I’ve started doing it everyday for almost a week now. I am not exactly meditating like a monk but I am enjoying the calm after doing it.

Well, these are my resolutions! My goal is to make them all come true.
