hello, 2011!

i'm always giddy happy when new year comes as it's my chance again to put my plans on the table. new year also refills our hope and for 2011, i have nothing but high hopes for me and my family! :)

here's some of our plans:

own another house. on top of our wishlist for this year is purchasing a house in the metro, preferably within or near makati. in short, near jude's workplace. we're already eyeing some properties and it's up to fate which one is really for us (read: the one which the bank will approve as it's going to be loaned. hehe).  

target date of lipat-bahay: last week of march or april.

pursue our hobby. jude and i had been wanting for the longest time to climb a mountain again but pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing were always the reasons to abort the idea. but we promised to break the ice and try even just a day-hike. i know this plan is more feasible since i don't have to worry of leaving the kids overnight.

target date: summer

travel to at least two destinations. i said "at least" because more travel opportunities are very much welcome. :D but for now i have to be content with what we have already booked and discussed.

target date: first trip - february; 2nd trip - october, in time for our 6th wedding anniversary.

engage in a raket. this is more for myself actually as i realized that am already tired of my routines as a stay-at-home mom. :) i also have few hours now to enjoy, especially at night when the kids are already asleep, so instead of just wasting my time in front of the tv watching telenovelas or reality shows (oops... hihi) it's better for me to do something lucrative. i'm thinking of online jobs like that of a virtual assistant since i heard the pay is really good while the job is quite easy.

target date: may or june, after our moving-in

that's about it for now... i know some of them require a lot of will-power, particularly the last, that's why i pray that "procrastination" and "laziness' be strange words for me this year. :)
