Yes, I’ll be turning 29 this September!Whew! But nothing is stopping me from living my life fuller each year. This past two years I was preoccupied with getting pregnant, acting like a single mom to my three sons, and just forgetting all about myself. Now, however, I’m slowly getting my groove back. I just had my hair dyed copper at a salon yesterday, and today I’m getting a facial and a diamond peel. But that is just the start of things to come. Here is a list of my 12 goals to accomplish in a span of one year.

1. Be able to get my first paycheck through blogging by December this year. Visit my new blog Fresh Scoops here.
2. Be able to cook at least 15 famous Filipino dishes and 5 Italian ones by November this year. That is, without looking at my cookbook.
3. Be able to drive a car by myself by the last week of October this year.
4. Get a rebond by my 29th birthday. Give myself a salon pampering experience once a month starting from now on.
5. Be able to blow dry my own hair; curl iron and straighten it as well by myself by next month. Be able to shape my eyebrows by myself.
6. Be able to renew my and my son’s passport and get two new ones for the twins by January next year. Have my personal and school documents translated in Italian.
7. Learn at least 50 most used Italian phrases, recite the Italian ABC and numbers, and sing at least two Italian songs by February next year.
8. Get an exciting job by February next year!
9. Save at least 12,000 in a year; 1,000 every month - the least!
10. Clear my credit card debts by June next year.
11. Enrol myself in a writing class by March next year (correspondence school).
12. Stay young and happy until my next birthday. Hehehe!
