2019 Resolution

Bonjour!

Scrap the whole "new year, new me" saying. Forget about reinventing myself because I am over that notion and I am focusing on self improvement.  To allow such self improvement to happen, I've decided to list down a number of realistic resolutions. I know it's the end of January and people usually set out their resolution in the beginning of the year but I am on board the "January is atrial month" train, hence, we are where we are. Without any more dilly dally, let's get into this.

1. Be a better wife.
So far I've been married for 5 months. I have been blessed to be given a husband who makes this resolution easier for me. He isn't fussy and he does most of his things by himself and he isn't demanding. If he wants me to do something he asks instead of orders which I highly appreciate. Under this resolution includes my desire to improve my cooking and baking skills to make sure that the hubby has a full stomach on most days. As far as this year has pass, I'm doing pretty good. attempted some dishes I never did before. Failed a couple of times, but most of it was a success. By the end of this year, I hope to be able to brush up on my kitchen and house keeping skills.

2. To be a great mom.
Currently entering my 5th month of pregnancy. Time really does fly. I feel like it was just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant. The journey hasn't been entirely delightful, but let me express my gratitude for not being haunted by the terrors of morning sickness. Although, I must say that even without the morning sickness, all the other symptoms that comes attached with the joys of carrying a child isn't a walk in the park. But I have been leaning to just enjoy the process. I am hoping a smooth delivery and a happy, beautiful and healthy baby. As of right now we are still unsure of the gender of the baby but either way, we already know the child will be blessed with a pair of parents who loves it dearly. I've been investing a lot of time researching and reading and gathering as much information as I can about maintaining a healthy pregnancy, preparing for when baby comes, browsing baby names, etc. Of course I'll try to update as much as I can about the pregnancy on this blog. (or maybe my lifestyle blog).

3. Get an income.
I heard back about the job interview that I went in for last year. I didn't get the job. As devastating as I am about it, I have learned to just accept that it wasn't meant to be. This year I am not going to be pushing and pulling myself apart to get a job because I understand the most that I can do is give effort in applying for positions and attending interviews but it is not in my control whether or not I actually get a job. So instead of being so persistent on "getting a job" I'm changing my focus to getting an income. I applied for a part time transcribing job online and have yet to hear from them. I've started selling some stuff online, both pre loved and brand new. I'm doing anything and trying anything to gain an income. With a baby on the way, I have been worrying about financials more than ever. But it's okay, I'm telling myself to take it one step at a time.

4. Be more proactive, productive.
I have had a bunch of projects that I have been wanting to get on hop of but I keep of pushing them back. Mostly it's because this pregnancy has my body up and down on energy depending on the hormone levels for the day. But I have been consistent on researching baby related stuff. So the final resolution this year is to just go out there and do what needs to be done.

And there you have it. A list of my realistic resolutions for the year. I decided to keep it simple and achieve-able. Something that I know I can tick off with a smile on my face by the end of the year. I also decided to do a monthly resolution list as well but that list I'll keep to myself for now.
