2010 Resolutions

2010 Resolutions
'Embrace The Future'

1. make a new friendI love meeting new people. I find it inspiring learning about different walks of life. So like last year, I want to meet more people!
[X]February: I met some new faces this Feb, some friends of friends and some randoms!
[X]April: I met some really incredible people this month. Very inspiring. It has been brilliant!

2. do some volunteeringEven though at the moment I have no job, I would like to do some volunteering and do something for others or for society.
[X]March: A friend and I did some volunteering with Thames21, which consisted of cleaning the rubbish off the riverside! It was a dirty job but was good fun. We managed to get an invitation to T4 Music filming from the one and only 'Orange RockCorps' and our picture on the LBC news website!
[X]April: As I managed to get onto a Broadcasting Volunteer Program and learnt a great deal during my training. Now I need to do 80 hours of volunteering work to utilise these skills!

3. run the Adidas 5k women's challenge under 30minsSince 2008, I have taken part in the Adidas 5k Women's Challenge, raised money for charity but this year I want to try and finish under 30 minutes.
[X]April: On the End of April, I have signed up for the 5k Run, so here it goes! I also am planning on running the London Marathon, but I will need to see whether I can get a space!

4. be confident & believe
Last year, I had an interview and I got nervous and just spoke utter rubbish. Also, sometimes in a room full of people I feel a little intimidated so being confident and believing in myself is the key for 2010.
[X]April: This April, I was luckily enough to get an interview. I knew I had to perform my best without the nerves and I knew that if I was nervous that I would regret it. So I was confident and just answered the questions honestly. And I was so happy to hear I did it! I got through and I will not waste this oppotunity! I cannot wait to start!!

5. get a total of 5k channel views on YouTube (start1.7k )
Just a random ambitious resolution I thought I would try. So I will need to think of interesting videos to boost up those views!

6. make a website / sell trainers
I started customising trainers last year and with a lot of support from my friends I wanted to sell them but then there was also doubts and ended up loosing motivation and faith. But I'm hoping to sell some so I can afford to buy more and fund my hobby!

7. learn or do something new
Every year it's usually the same for me. This year I want to try something new either a sport (I would love to do snowboarding/skiing) or learn a new skill/language.
[X]January: I tried Go Karting for the first time. This was too exciting I absolutely loved it!
[X]February: I went to my first Foam party and it was LIVE!! Dirty but fun!!
[X]February: I ate at an Indian Resturuant for the first time. Paneer curry!
[X]February: I decided to actually give something up for lent this year! So I am doing - No chocolates, sweets, biscuits, fast food chains (ie. McDs, Burger King, KFC, ), fizzy drinks (minus energy drinks ie. redbull) from 17th feb to the 3rd April!
[X]March: I did volunteering! and have signed up for more! ^^
[X]April: I've started an online blog, something I don't usually do!
[X]April: I have learnt how to set up & use studio cameras, and use Final Cut Pro! I also filmed a live broadcast that was streamed over the internet! Satisfying feeling.

8. travel
I love travelling. This year I would love to go somewhere I haven't been yet. Explore a part of the world or at least go some place and have a great time!

9. find a job

I need a job. Simple!

10. read at least 4 books
I'm not really a reading person and last year I tried to read at least 6 books in the year. It was going well until I had exams and just stopped reading. So this year, I'm going to try again. Reading = knowledge! So here I go again!
