Looking for something new…
FIX YOU
Coldplay
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down on your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I’m a geek, yes I admit it! Yesterday I was watching the Scripps Spelling Bee finals.
Saw this on their website, the winners and the winning words. Notice how the words became exponentially more difficult in the recent years compared to when they started.

Got a 101 list of things to do to make this year meaningful from my new planner (Navi 2011, Life Navigator) and picked a couple of things.
What I aspire to happen on 2011 (or at least in the near future!)
- live abroad for a year (although I feel like I’m too old to do this)
- Invest in the stock market (Mutual Funds na lang!)
- Learn how to meditate (Pranayama Aaaaauuuuummmmm)
- Plan a one-week vacation (I need some tan)
- Actually go on that vacation
- Take my vitamins (already diligently doing this, more like continue…)
- Become fluent in a foreign language (Crossed Fingers! HSK4 is the target!)
- Know that I have everything I need (I soooo need this, it’s a journey to contentment)
- Ride a transcontinental train (Transiberian Luxe!)
- Find myself (The ultimate goal to enlightenment)
- See my favorite band play (No concerts lined up just yet)
- Ride a gondola in
- Sit up straight
- Pick a cause to support or volunteer for (already supporting several, want to try volunteering)
- Help a stranger (felt warm and fuzzy when I did it!)
- Go back to school and learn something fun (KungFu Class! I hope it pushes through)
- Become better at small talk (in dire need of this social skill)
- Win something (I never win at anything, I take this seriously!)
- Make conversation with my seat mate on the plane (I wish to travel by myself this year, hope I raise enough funds!)
- Get a pen pal (someone to practice my foreign language skills!)
Calling on the forces of the universe, I’m sending this out there based on the law of attraction.
