According to Wikipedia, "A New Year's resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day and remain until the set goal has been achieved, although many resolutions go unachieved and are often broken fairly shortly after they are set."

Just like some people, I made my own list for 2006 but I called it my inventory of goals and plans. Now that we're just a day away from entering 2007, I think it's time to take stock and re-evaluate the list. I have a feeling that some of the items are going to make a reappearance in next year's list. Here's the top 10 in 2006 and the latest update:

1. Reorganize my office and my closets.

Update: Due to our house being on the market, I've been forced into keeping my office (the whole house for that matter) and closets in order. It's still a regular struggle especially now that we have our dogs. 

2. Obtain my U.S. Citizenship.

Update: I got my US citizenship and took my oath of allegiance last May. I was also able to travel with my brand new passport when I visited my family last October.

3. Visit at least three cities in Europe.

Update: Kenny and I did go on first European trip (Paris, Rome, Venice, Milan) with 8 other friends. It was one of the most exciting and memorable vacations I've ever had and I hope to do it again soon. We have tentative plans to travel to Paris and Prague this coming April with my mom-in-law and brother-in-law. It's still a few months away but I'm so stoked already. 

4. Upgrade my career image .

Update: Earlier this year, I made some attempts to change my career path. I actually accepted a  position that would have allowed me to work closer to home and to explore a different field in nursing. A few days before I was to start at the new job, I went through an episode of separation anxiety which prompted me to change my mind. Bottomline, I chickened out . I've always been a creature of habit and routine. As much as I would like to project spontaneity and an adventurous spirit, I am very much my father's daughter. Before he died, he had the same job for more than 20 years. He initially retired when he turned 60 years old but returned to work after a few months. I guess he missed having a purpose to his days. Ironically, his job was also the catalyst for his demise. Not to sound morbid, but with my career, that could very well be my case in the near or later future.

5. Learn more about starting up a home-based business and eventually building one .   

Update: I got lots of ideas but they will remain just that for now. Reality and my responsibility to my family back home will have to take precedence over any of those entrepreneurial aspirations. I'll still keep on dreaming though. It won't cost me a cent anyway.  

6. Go back to doing yoga and meditation . I'd also like to go for outdoor power walks  .

Update: I haven't practiced yoga that much but my dogs are my best motivation to take those power walks. It's a challenge but I'm grateful for those times when I feel like I'm doing something for my health and fitness.

7. Attend my college class reunion  on July.

Update: We had our class reunion indeed. It was a success overall but it personally brought a few unpleasant feelings to the surface. Although I was friends with most of the attendees, I realized that I really didn't have much of a bonded relationship with them. I felt kinda lost when they cited funny anecdotes and reminisced on their escapades. I just didn't have much of a recollection of those things and events therefore I wasn't part of any of it. I had a strange feeling that they didn't remember me much either. I was just another vague classmate in college . It was a disheartening thought and it somehow affected my mood during the reunion. Did I mention I'm really super sensitive?

8. Have my mother visit us again  .

Update: Instead of her coming to the US, I went to visit the family again this year. I figured that would allow me to spend time with everybody other than just my mother. I would still like to plan on getting her here next year. She deserves a much needed vacation from all the stress that she's going through right now in the Philippines. I also need to start working on her petition so she and my sister can join us here soon.

9. Start our own family .

Update: We did get to start our family. We are now proud parents of Sidney and Lara. I didn't even have to go through labor and delivery . I just love them so very much, like they're my own specie and breed.

10. Spend Christmas  in the Philippines.

Update: I have high hopes of fulfilling this next year. We are planning on either spending Christmas or celebrating the new year there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the next 365 days.

Well, that was 2006. I'd better start getting busy on making a new list for 2007. It's creeping up sooner than I expected. How about you? Do you still even make any new year's resolutions at all? What's your success / failure rate?

Although the date for New Year's Day is not the same in every culture, it is always a time for celebration and for customs to ensure good luck in the coming year. Here's wishing for better and positive things in the year to come, for all of us.
