New Year Resolution for 2010

It is very important to set goals for oneself, and the best time to do it is during the start of the year!

But before I write down my goals for the new year, I need to review whether I had accomplished the things I had set out to do in 2009:

• A new site layout [achieved!]
• A new site mascot [site mascot created by Maha but need to work on new header banner - achieved]
• More original content [introduced Nendo's Travelogue, but still need more original content - partly achieved]
• Work harder and earn more $_$ [working more but also spending more >_< - achieved]
• Stop procrastinating and lose some weight [I gained weight instead of losing them - fail!]
• Gain more visitors for this site, preferably 200k/month by Dec 2009 [achieved 195k visitors in Oct -achieved!]
  

I’m quite satisfied that I had managed to accomplished many of the goals for 2009, especially those related to my website. The only regret is that I had procrastinated on losing weight and the routine of working in the office had resulted in me gaining weight >_<

I did some thinking of the 1st of January, and decided on 10 goals for myself and this website in 2010:

• Hire a profession to create a truly unique site layout, target to complete by Mar 2010
• Complete new header banner featuring site mascot Akari by end of Jan 2010
• Create at least 2 new original content within 2010
• Achieve 300k of unique visitors by Dec 2010 with a google page rank of 5
• Save enough money to visit Japan in Wonder Festival Summer
• Start using Japanese more (for a start: tweet at least once in Japanese everyday)
• Try to get a new job that I can be truly passionate (anime, publishing or social media industry)
• Adopt my first dolllfie daughter ^^
• Continue to improve my photography skills
• Learn at least 10 new magic tricks (a hobby I had put off for quite long)

So what’s your new year resolution? I leave you to think about it with an interesting quote I read on new year resolutions: A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.
