as a new year is rolling around, do you guys have any new year resolutions? i think i kind of have them.. not such a long list of new things i want to do in the next coming new year and forget about them on the second month of that year.. but they are what i already enjoy doing and what i want to do more on a regular basis.. some kinds of writing, running, eating right, meeting more old friends, making new ones, travelling to new unknown places, writing more postcards, going on a roadtrip with my friends and family and looking for ways to step out of my comfort zone.. i want to do such things.. more..

and i can't wait for the next year to begin.. it's such a waste of time to wait. so i decided to start it right now. first thing first, i start to write more. i've done it on a regular basis before but as i had a handful of other things to deal with, i began to slip away from it.. and now i bounce back to do it every single day again.. not just in here -- i can't log on everyday as sometimes i want to be away from internet -- i do it more in my journal.. to begin with it, i paste more pictures i cut out from magazines.. i find it hugely inspires seeing colorful images in my handmade blank journal.. soon after the blank pages are dressed up, they looks charming and interesting, luring me to spill my fleeting thoughts on them.. do you guys do a visual board? i do. i have a big one on my front door and small random ones in my journal.. try it.. they help put things into perspectives.. and help reach your goals more..

it's a sunny morning today, the first sun in the morning in a week. it makes me happy as i miss the warm sun as much as my laundry does..

it's going to be an easy day and an early night today. some schools still close, due to the flood around hatyai, including the commercial school sitting opposite my shop... i know i won't be busy but i want to open my shop as normal, and catch up with my writing..

..it's a lovely morning, so sit back and enjoy your fave drink..
