Each year, I post my resolutions not for the world to know but to remind me of my goals. I find writing down – or typing my goals help me be on track. Many of my resolutions will be carried over from last year. Such things that I need to continue for my self-development.

It’s the Christmas season again and everyone’s on their toes trying to find the perfect gift. One that’s usable, non-cliche, and will be appreciated by the receiver. Price aside, it’s already a challenge enough finding that perfect gift. Harder if this gift giving routine has been going on for years and about 3x a year: birthday, anniversary, Christmas!

Here’s my gift to myself and to my boyfriend:

Hey! I could finally have some alone time with my laptop. Lately, I’ve been waking up at 6am everyday even if I have no work/classes because the carpenter arrives at 7am. That time may not be that early for others who take the MRT at 5am but for someone like me who only starts to feel sleepy by 2am, 10am is my preferred waking hour.

Anyway, I’m happy to announce that all carpentry works are done. Next time I’ll be sharing the before and after transformation when I finally purchase the dining chairs, study chair, water dispenser, and a/c unit. Apparently, I need a 2hp split-type unit to cool my place. Any suggestions on the brand? The Samsung premium inverter looks really classy btw. I’m such a loyal consumer. But I’ll take whichever has the better features and compressor. What do you use at home/in your office?
