{{ Pheebs }} Yet another New Year's resolution (for 2015)

I have a feeling that 2015 will be a very challenging and exciting year for me. I had to get ready mentally and emotionally, so after thinking about it for months, I got a tattoo. It's an enso, and I am proud of wearing it. Our first week together was not without it's downs, in case you wanna know, when you get a tattoo, it hurts like hell, but the pain does not stop when you leave the parlour. It hurts whenever the skin moves, so I walked around like a T-rex for the whole first week :D (it's on my left forearm).

So the list I prepared for this year:

- It is highly possible that I'll get the opportunity to show my leadership skills this year. I would like to tackle this challenge and leave a good impression while doing so. I also would like to use this chance to build a richer vocab in English.

- I got back on the learning-Japanese track this year, and I hope to continue on it throughout 2015 too. It's something that has been a long term hobby for me, and along the way it became something more.

- I had a few classes of Korean, and I fell in love with this language. I want to keep learning it, though the problem is always that we don't have a teacher :( awful

- On my way to pick up a new hobby, that is sumi-e. I'll try to put time aside for it :)

- Travel plans are: London in March, hopefully with a side trip to Wales. South Korea would be nice, but I'll see if it fits the budget :D

- Although probably surreal, but would like to loose 8-10 kg. Will have to find some sport or martial art to do it I think.

- Taiko? I haven't decided what I'll do about it. One thing is for sure, I am less and less happy with playing. I might give it up in order to pick kendo up.

{{ Pheebs }} Revisiting New Year's resolutions from 2014

Hi there,

As usual, checking up on myself from this previous year (nobody reads this anyway :D)

- Paint the bedroom blue, put up brick tiles on the living room wall, behind where the TV will be, paint at least one wall lime green :P
Bedroom is blue, but the brick tiles will have to wait. First up is a little change of colours in the kitchen :) Also no lime green wall yet.

- get a fluffy cat
Nope, not yet. She would be lonely anyway. I'll wait with the cat until I have less after work activities.

- Go to Scotland with Mom
Done, it was nice, maybe this year we'll go to Wales.

- Go to Japan
Wow, now this one has been a life changer. We planned for months, and finally in September, we got to go. It was great, even greater than I expected. I decided not to write about it, because that would be another blog :D Just know that it was so addictive I keep thinking about going back.

- keep my friends
Still got 'em :D

- stay fun to be around
I don't know why I put this here. It's not like I can measure this.

Next up is the resolutions for 2015.
