2010 was a year filled with pressure and stress. So this year, I will lessen my worries, have more fun and enjoy every moment 2011 has for me.
I don't make New Year's resolutions, primarily because I know I would just be disappointed at the end of the year. To start the year with good vibes, I will set my goals and I would like to call it, My 11-Point Agenda for 2011:
1. Academics- aim for "Claum-laude". Studying is my first priority, of course. My biggest dream is to graduate cum laude. I still have 2 more years to work on that dream.
2. Be an earth-warrior. Caring for the environment is my advocacy this year. I'm planning to join Earth-UST next semester and join more tree-planting activities.
3. Be more socially-active. Not by spending more time on social-networking sites but by participating on school and club activities. I already have a list of organizations on my mind.
4. Sleep early, wake up early. I don't want eye bags this year and I don't want to be late for class.
5. Exercise. No, I would not be hitting the gym. I don't have enough cash for that. I want to join marathons, like run for a cause and such. Also, exercise instead of sleeping.
6. Live a healthy lifestyle. I would not be on South beach diet, for I don't have much fats left. I'll just eat healthy food, stay away from sickness.
7. Spend more, but spend wisely. I would not be buying unnecessary stuffs this year. I realized that I was a bit thrifty last year. So I will reward myself on every achievement I earn, because I know I deserve it.
8. Be a better blogger. I'll try to update my blogs more often. I also have this big dream--to be a popular, filthy-rich blogger! But I still have a lot of catching up to do, I have to work my fingers to the bone.
9. Lessen FB hours. Spend more time reading a novel or watching movies instead of browsing Facebook for hours.
10. Party harder. Not necessarily clubbing. I missed a lot of birthday parties and get-together's last year so I'll make sure I wouldn't be missing any celebration this year.
11. Pray harder. I need to spend more quality time with God. Never forget to thank Him everyday and ask for his guidance. Prayers move mountains.

-There's a big possibility that you'll be singing to this tune if you continue on using firecrackers. Hundreds of firecracker-related incidents have already been reported even before the New Year's eve. If you haven't heard of the negative effects of firecrackers, I'll enumerate it for you:

I never watch the local news during New Year's eve because I don't want to see
Firecrackers are dangerous to human and animal health.
Dangers exist because firecrackers contain toxic materials. The smoke coming from firecrackers are very dangerous to those who have respiratory ailments, such as pneumonia and asthma. Even healthy people could suffer those adverse effects when exposed to hazardous smoke brought by firecrackers.
It can also cause hearing damage not only to humans but also to animals. “To us humans the noise of firecrackers can be an inconvenience, but to animals – such as dogs and cats – with highly sensitive hearing, that same noise can be the equivalent of a cannon going off near them,” said Aileen Lucero of the EcoWaste Coalition. “Magnify that by the amount of firecrackers all going off at once on New Year’s Eve, and imagine the mega-torture that the day brings to them.”

Excess of toxic materials such as manganese, cadmium and lead can cause depletion to our ozone layer. Firecrackers also cause air pollution and emits greenhouse gases that is very harmful to our environment.
