2008: New Year Resolution

Post by Bambang »

What's your new year resolution?

Mine is to improve my listening skills. I am going to listen to the BBC more, watch more English programs like news programs, movies, etc.

Hope I can stick to this resolution.

My resolutions for the new year are always basically the same:

- Stop biting my nails (and/or skin around them)
- Lose weight
- Exercise more
-Be more self-confident

And like I said they are the same every year, which means I never carry them out...

:lol: My suggestion for Dixie's resolution for next year: Finish the resolutions of last year. That would solve the problem.

I'm only 97 lbs, and I really hate to see myself so thin. :roll: . My main problem is that I lose my appetite easily.

So the Year 2008 is becoming to it's final. Now it's time to look back and read Chickens. I would like to hear who did full-fill their resolution and how did it go.

As for me. I didn't tell any New Year Resolution for 2008. Or I forgot that I did.. Then did I fail. I even don't know.

Well I promise, I'm going to make Resolution for 2009.. I'm going to post them into new topic. So please read them there. :mrgreen:
