New Year, New Resolutions

This will be my list of resolutions for the new year.  I'm making it public so if you see me violating any of these, I give you permission to hit me on the head.  LOL

1.   I bought these in May of this year:


Fast forward seven months later, and those rubber shoes are still in the box, not even used once.  I even bought socks and track pants to match those shoes, and both are also still unused.  I had every intention of starting a workout routine this year, but those plans went kaput.  My usual excuse is that I've been so busy and I couldn't find the time to fit exercise in my schedule.  Now I realize that I'm not getting any younger, it's time to start thinking about my health and well-being. Starting next year, I'll find a way to use those shoes.   Visits to the gym are not my thing (and frankly, that'll just be another expense), so I'll probably keep it simple...walking/jogging around the village with our dogs in tow should be a nice place to start.  And maybe I can convince my friends who are experts in running (hello, Yvette!) to teach me the basics.

All I Want For Christmas

I've already been blessed so much this Christmas season, I really don't care if I don't receive any more gifts from here on.  But just in case there's a secret Santa who wants to make me happier, here's my wishlist for Christmas 2010:

1.  Moleskine Film Journal (About P1,000++ in Fully Booked outlets).   I'm never going to be a professional, paid movie critic, so I might as well pretend to be one.

Dress a la Rachel

Remember this?  


Doesn't look familiar?  Let me refresh your memory:


It's the silk fan print dress from Forever 21, worn by Rachel Berry of Glee in the Sectionals episode!  The purple version is no longer available online, but I just saw it yesterday in the local Forever 21 store in SM Megamall.  Retail price is P1,275.00 (approximately US$29.00).  It comes in blue too:

Last Week on Glee: Sectionals Redux

Last year's Sectionals episode had two of my most favorite moments on Glee ever:  Lea Michele's star-making Don't Rain on My Parade solo and the utterly predictable (but still sweet) first kiss of Emma and Mr. Schuester.  It's still my second favorite Glee episode so far (the pilot remains number one).

Maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought this year's Sectionals episode was a little underwhelming.
