How is it possible that I don't feel like doing anything?

The only reason I'm still online is I'm too lazy to move, and it's not like I feel like doing something else. So I'm here.

I don't like being idle but I don't want to clean my room either. Not yet, anyway. Not while blowing my nose sounds like an armalite going off and breathing is such a chore. I might as well make a New Year's Resolutions list:

1. Have a goal for each day, and fulfill it - This could be something as simple as sorting out my bras or as taxing as sorting out my school papers and handouts. Except that I don't want to throw my handouts away. Especially the ones from Lit Crit unless, of course, I get to buy Richter's "The Critical Tradition" anytime soon. Anyway, yeah. Do something everyday. My mom talked to me about having more zest for life because I'm so satisfied sitting around unbathed and doing nothing. The woman has a point.

2. Take a shower after breakfast. Even if I'm not going out - I know this sounds so silly but believe me, I'll need to follow this. I remember when I spent New Year 2000 with BJ's family and his mom told me "Hija, magbabagong taon na. Maligo ka naman." Actually, it was addressed to BJ and I who I have shamefully influenced (for that day only) into being gusgusin with me.

3. Be more affectionate. Make the special people feel that they are.

4. Be braver. Accept that there are some things I have to do and most of them are difficult. Also, try new things, especially with regard to writing.

5. Try not to be too dramatic. Anything that's happening to anyone has happened before, and most of them survived.

6. Put more effort into myself - This is for my mother, as she is sick to death of following me around places with a hairbrush. Also means take more care of myself. Also means gain ten pounds, dammit.

7. Make a stand. I am the mother of falter.

8. Trust more people.

9. Never settle for anything less than I think I deserve.

10. The walang kamatayang resolution, Keep resolutions!
