Right, back on track! Focus! As I was saying, I couldn't keep up with my resolutions because I completely forgot them all, but in 2016 I am going to try to keep up with them!
First resolution: To drink lots of water! By lots I mean like a lot because these days I'm having breakouts and washing my face every single day before bed does help, but the moisturiser doesn't keep my face or body hydrated while I am asleep because I move a lot when I sleep, so all of the cream might have been removed and smudged everywhere, so yeah...To help me with this I have downloaded an app on my phone that, hopefully, will keep me reminded of drinking my water. It is called Daily Water and I will leave a link to the app. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it because I just downloaded it recently, but I will update you on how I'm getting on with the app. That sounded weird...
Second resolution: Read. More. Books! Yes, books, boring, eww no one likes it, but once in a while, you just need to sit down and read a book. I used to read a lot of books, but then I stopped because there weren't any books that I was interested in. Also, technology and social medias are taking over my life making me have "no time" to read a book, which is not good because I do enjoy reading, but sometimes it makes me want to go to sleep, it just gets so boring and my eyes are like shutting and I'm just like falling asleep. Anyways, that is one of my resolutions! READ A BOOK OR MORE THAN ONE BECAUSE WHY NOT?
Third resolution: Exercise! Let us exercise! I really enjoy exercising, but the weather in London, just doesn't like me exercising. Whenever I plan to go for a run or a cycle, the weather is just whispering to me like: "Where do you think you're going? Going for a run? Never!! *pours rain from the sky when it was just sunny a second ago*" and I'm just standing there like "Great! That one day I finally make an effort to go out and exercise, the rain decides to come last minute!! *slowly walks in and throw shoes off while slamming the door*" This is me like every single day! Why London why?? Why can't we just have a peaceful and sunny day, so I can finally exercise?!
Fourth resolution: Go out more and be active (socialise with people). I do have anxiety when I meet new people, but I want to fix that and be more active! So, I want to go out a lot more and go adventure England because there are places that I've never been in England and I would like to go there someday with my family and friends.
Fifth resolution: Eating healthy foods. Eww green stuff eurgh vegetablessss! Well, you can't eat junk food all the time because that is bad! The fat in junk foods are ridiculous and have you seen the amount of sodium(salt) in junk food? It's disgusting! Not saying that I don't eat junk food, I do, but not every single day, just once in a while when I crave it. Also, instant foods are really bad because the flavourings and stuff they put in instant foods is not good for your body at all. I do try to keep my diet as healthy as possible, but sometimes junk food and instant foods just calls me out. When I mean instant food, it means like noodles (ramen/ramyun) and that stuff. I hope to lose some weight and change my diet next year!!
Sixth resolution: Taking care of my skin. Like the first resolution, drinking water is important and that helps my skin to stay hydrated, but to have like clear and perfect skin I need to take care of it. By this, I mean, wash my face everyday before going to sleep and I cannot not wash my face because if I don't wash my face at night, in the morning I will have a sudden breakout and it is so annoyinggggggg!!! I also need to exfoliate regularly, not every day because it can damage your skin. I'm going to do it 2 times a month so the first week of the month and the third week of the month. Also, I am going to keep away from eating oily foods because it can lead to you having oily skin.
Seventh resolution: Master in playing the guitar and piano/keyboard. I can play both of them, but not perfectly and the solution for that is to practice when I have time or when I'm bored. My guitar tutor at school said not to practice if you don't want to because it's not going to get you anywhere if you practice on a bad day. I try to practice regularly, but sometimes I have one of the days that I just don't want to do anything, so I don't practice. I do have a guitar and I bring it to school for music classes, but sometimes I don't because it's so big and I'm too small, so yeah! For piano/keyboard, I don't play it that much because I don't know what song I want to play most of the time when I get the keyboard out and at school, most of the time I get assigned to play the guitar or ukulele.
Eighth resolution: Learn new languages. I do speak three to four languages (Malay, English, Korean and Mandarin) because first of all I was born in Malaysia and I am currently living in England, so I have to speak the two basic language. The case for Korean is that I learnt it by myself because I got interested in the Korean culture and language, so I decided to learn it. I am still learning it, but I can have a conversation and understand Korean without someone translating it for me. For Mandarin, I used to go to a Chinese/Mandarin kindergarten and I had to learn the languages, but now that I forgot all the things that I learnt, so I'm planning to learn it again. I can also speak a little bit of French because it is compulsory in my school that we learn another language other than English. I can understand a little bit of French if it is basic. because I learnt it at school. I do want to learn Japanese because I just like the way that the language works and how it has a pitch(?) when you speak it. One of my friends can speak Japanese and I do really envy her so muchh!!
Ninth resolution: Practice more of my Korean writing skills/handwriting. As I mentioned in the eight resolution, I am still learning Korean and trying to practice it everyday. Whenever I'm bored, I listen to Kpop music, like I do all the time, and write down the lyrics, so this means that I practice my spellings as well as my handwriting. I also do take tests online that tests my knowledge of how much I know how to spell different words and the meaning of different words. In the next year, I would like to be able to watch a Korean movie without any English subtitles to help me understand what they are saying.
Probably the last resolution (tenth): To get more sleep. By the time I finish typing this, it would be like 1 am or something, because I really cannot sleep at night! I'm like an owl. I sleep during the day and wide awake at night *cue the music-i'm wide awake!*... anyways.. I need to try to sleep early and wake up early! It's getting worse on school days, I'm supposed to sleep at the latest 10:30 pm, but sometimes I sleep at 12 o'clock at night. In the morning, I can't function properly because I didn't have the right amount of sleep for a teenager which is not good!!! I feel so tired in the morning and can't do things like get ready for school, instead I just stare into space for a good 10 minutes and I look mental every time I do it because it looks like I'm frozen. On holidays, I don't really mind sleeping late at night because I don't have school the next day, but I want to have a productive day where I wake up and eat breakfast and do things!
Well, I hope you liked my little list of resolutions which may or may not be done by the time 2016 ends..so yeah! I will be back with more blog posts so keep checking! I wish you all a Happy New Year even though it's not New Year yet, but I will say Merry Christmas!!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas! I also want to say that 2015 has been a great year even though a lot of things of things happened and some of those things are good and some are bad, but you know what? Life can't always be perfect, if it is than I don't know how you have such perfect life without any up and downs. I hope that 2016 will be a great year and I that am happy every single day! :)
