If I would write down my weaknesses right now, I would probably list down as #1 my ability to break plans. I’m so good at making plans and not fulfilling it. Nevertheless, I still make plans.
I tried to review my 2007 and 2008 plans and so far, I have fulfilled half of what I plan. Not bad. So I’m doing this again. It may be a bit late, but I’ve been making this list since December 2011. Finally, I decided to write down my plans for this year.
I’ve been making this plans a.k.a. New Year’s Resolution since I was a college student. At one time, I’ve written a plan to “have a wife and kids by the age of 25”. Well, I’m a late bloomer and just realized I’m gay a few months before my college graduation.
Also, I’ve realized that I’m not hitting my plans because it’s not within the scope of S.M.A.R.T: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound. So as much as I can, I tried to list down my 2012 plans with this in mind.
It also helps by the way, if I could print this list and post it on my wall. Plus, it would be an additional help if I could share it with you guys. In that way, you could probably ask me once in a while how I’m doing with my plans. So, without further ado, here are my plans for this year:
1. Be a competitive Ragnarok Player. Make Cadbury an “imba” Arch-Bishop. Buy 500 RO Load every payday.
2. Level my novice, Jan Sef, to level 99 Ninja before the release of the Samurai Patch (mid-year).
3. Change my mindset about Sales and learn the craft. Be a Sales Agent. There are extra compensations for Sales Agent.
4. Buy more books, preferably Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham. 1 book a month.
5. Buy Greatest Hits DVDs of favorite singers and bands. Support the music industry. 1 DVD a month.
6. Watch a movie every payday. It’s always great to watch movies at the cinema.
7. Join a religious or civic organization. Preferably World Vision or Habitat for Humanity.
8. Be a devout Catholic. Attend mass every Sunday and participate with the festivities. Continue visiting different churches once in a while.
