It’s 2012 and while some people are busy executing their New Year’s resolutions, I started the year by getting a new hair cut. The day after January 1, my schedule became notoriously hectic. My daughter’s nanny sent a text message to us that she couldn’t be back soon because she was sick. I’m not someone who easily takes things at face value so I was naturally frustrated with her reason. Then I reminded myself that we just entered a new year and there’s no point to over-analyze the situation. That left me more than a week of juggling my time between doing my work, maintaining the household, and taking care of my toddler.
Seriously, it was very challenging and there’s been more than once I’ve seen myself extremely exhausted and occasionally mad. But at the end of every day, it makes sense that it’s a good time for me to really bond with my daughter who generously calls “Mommy” and say “sorry Mommy” and “Thank you Mommy” every now and then.
On the weekend, I had the luxury to do the grocery by myself which also meant some personal “ME” time. My husband stayed home to watch over our daughter. Before heading to the supermarket, I dropped by Ricky Reyes salon at SM Southmall and had my hair done. I had hair keratin treatment to cure my seriously ill and damaged hair. See, I recently colored my hair light brown only to end up applying black the following day. Obviously, that drastic move made my hair rough. Worse, it increases my hair fall.
The keratin treatment was great and I got massage. I love the hair cut, too. My stylist created a layered bob cut look, which gave more volume to my thinning hair. I felt better afterwards. My daughter smiled as she peered to my hair. The new hair cut eliminates more than five inches long of my hair, which was okay for me. I didn’t mind the drastic change because it went really well.
And of course, with the new hair cut must come a new life. Okay, this part doesn’t have to be done radically. I learned that I’m not really very good at following resolutions. So, I wanted to deal with the very obvious ones. First, I’ve been a hypochondriac for the last couple years in my life. It seems to get worse so I needed to give myself a peace of mind. Perhaps, I needed to get myself busier at work so I won’t have anymore time to think that I suffer some forms of illnesses without proper medical diagnosis.
I have a nice planner/diary already for 2012 and I resolve it’s not just going to contain my financial goals and budgets. I’ll have some time to doodle approaches to improve my life this 2012 as soon as my daughter’s nanny arrive tomorrow. I’ll keep the approaches realistic; so that means, “reduce rice intake” will never be in any way a part of it. I’ve nothing against dieting and other really strong resolutions. People have different attitudes and lifestyle. Popular resolutions would normally include dieting, but in my case, I’d first work on my attitude about weight obsession. Obsessing about my weight gives me more stress than thinking what I should be eating during meal time.
2012 is the year of the Dragon in Chinese horoscope. I am a Monkey sign and accordingly the 2012 is going to be a great year for me. I knew that, I just have to work on executing my approaches to achieve greatness and abundance, and I can’t wait for what I’d accomplish for the year
