HOLLAAAA...
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022! Nice numbers, isn't it? I wish we will get a very nice moment and achieve more this year.
I usually write a New Year Resolution for myself, but this time I want to make a Past Year Review instead. What is a past year's review? It's a review of the last new year's resolution. So It's better to look back at this link before we go on.
Check this out: https://deearsdiary.blogspot.com/2021/01/2021-my-new-years-resolutions.html
If you open the link, you will see that I have written many points that I wanted to achieve in 2021. Now, I will make a review of whether I succeeded in achieving each point or not, including the reasons. So, here is the list:
1. Spend more time with my Dad and Mom at least through video calls. ✔
I called them not only every weekend but anytime.
2. Hit the gym every day and eat only what my body needs.
Hmm...this one is so difficult to achieve. Well, I know it sounds cliche, but I did really miss many opportunities in the middle of the year because of the second wave of the pandemic. The gym has been closed again and so has the gym in my apartment. I gain 4 kgs. However, I kept toning my muscles at home and maintaining clean eating. I tried the Keto diet but it seems it's not suitable for me. I collapsed after three weeks. Now, I get back to the treadmill at least 30 - 40 minutes every day. I am happy with my body.
3. Perform a more healthy life, such as sleep more. Make a general check-up especially for my teeth and eyes.
I slept regularly, but I haven't got time to check my eyes and teeth. It's the thing that I need to do this year.
4. Blogging at weekend. ✔
Though I didn't write a new post, I made a blog walking every weekend to get to know more people in the community.
5. Be a good wife. ✔
I have got married in August and we are so happy because I am able to balance my role as a working woman and a wife. My husband is not a typical man who puts all his life on social media. This is because of his cultural background. I have his family on social media and they almost never expose their face there. He expects me to do the same. I follow his suggestion because it is good actually to keep most parts of our private life for ourselves. However, since I am growing a business, I need to appear sometimes and I discussed with him first for sure. I do this because I respect him as my husband. I respect his point of view and he does the same to mine. So, everything is based on discussion.
6. Learn to be a better human being with good characters based on my belief. I would like to use my social media to inspire people not only visually, but on how we see ourselves and see the world. ✔
I am not Mario Teguh, but I have my own fans who have the same point of view in seeing life, and sharing with them is enough for me. I have got an offer to be a teachergram from an agency after they knew that there are some celebgrams in my big family, but I am not the kind. That's not my calling at all.
7. Accomplish my Spanish at least level A2.
I haven't got time to continue my lessons as well and I've forgotten some vocabulary already.😅😅.
8. Be a better teacher with a good output that will be reflected in my students' achievements. ✔
So far, I can see significant progress from my students. I know it takes time but I am sure they will make the target with my help.
9. Spend more time with my family. ✔
My husband is a type that has to be the center of everything, so I spent most of my time with him. Unless he needed to fly out, we would be seen together everywhere always.
10. Make a youtube channel for my business.
I don't think I will make it. My husband doesn't want us to be exposed too much, even for a photo sometimes he makes a complaint. 😝
11. Make a 'revenge' on a woman who has humiliated me somewhat how. LOL
When I wrote that, actually I never meant it. I tend to ignore a person who did bad things to me. Anyway, I believe when someone did bad things to others, she will get enough lessons in the end.
12. Prepare all I need if I have to move out from Jakarta. Moving places is never easy. It needs a very well plan and preps. ✔
There are many Plan B's that we have made in case this pandemic is over, but until now we hang on with what we have and do with what we can do. Life is so unpredictable at the moment. Now, with the new Unicorn case - it sounds similar 😁😅 - Indonesia is facing the third wave of pandemics. The economic situation is really bad. I do hope that the government takes - not only a fast- but an effective action to help the citizens to overcome any impacts of the pandemics.
So, basically, I have five points that I have failed to achieve last year, but I will make it this year. Plus, I want to publish a book, so I hope I can finish it this year. This is actually also one of my dreams besides having my own brand of a language course. One accomplishment that makes me happy is the fact that Andiamo survives during these hard times. We never know what will happen next. So, I am ready and well-prepared with the worst; my marriage, my work, maybe losing family....who knows?! All we can do are: pray and do our best in doing things in this life.
So, that's how we make the Past Year Review. We can see our weaknesses and review in which part we haven't put enough effort to achieve. Why don't you try it and motivate yourself more this year to make all your dreams come true! 😍💖
XoXo
