2010: A summary

2 out of 5 new year's resolutions acomplished in 2010. Not bad. I lost some weigh and I graduated. Although, I can't predict when I'll be able to get a driver's license or start my studies in psycology. I must say I went terribly bad on the saving money one, but I'll go to the U2 concert anyhow. I have realised that I have trouble on saving money long-term, all I do is taking my whole pay-check, spend in something I need/want and stay the rest of the month with no money at all, of course, that's only possible because I still live in my parent's house and that will probably change in 2011.

Well, 2010 was hard, difficult, painful, and yet good. I graduated, I got promoted at work (still not a real teacher but...), I took the FCE exam and I'm now waiting for the results. Not bad but I can't say it was easy.

I'll keep 2 of my old resolutions in 2011. I still need to lose weigh and I desperately need to learn how to save money, seriously.The psycology will have to be postponed, but I'll start a post graduation course and in the end of the year I'll try pass on the Master's degree exam.

Well, that's it. I hope that the new year will be better for everyone. Let's dream and hope, because that's the best way to start. 

Song of the week

I'm really emotionally attached to this song since my childhood. Besides, I love this man's voice and his melodies.

"All the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard, but it's harder
To ignore it
If they were right I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know
That i have to go away
I know I have to go"

Cat Stevens - Father and Son

p.s. Today is my father's birthday. Happy Birthday dad. 

Happy Holidays

I'm late but who cares?

It's coming on Christmas,
And they're cutting down trees.
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace,
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

It don't snow here,
Stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And quit this crazy scene.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I wish I had a river so long,
I would teach my feet how to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby cry.

You tried hard to help me,
You put me at ease.
You loved me so naughty,
It made me weak in the knees.
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I'm so hard to handle,
I'm selfish and I'm sad.
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've ever had.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

I wish I had a river so long,
I would teach my feet how to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby say goodbye.

It's coming on Christmas
And they're cutting down trees.
Putting up reindeer,
And singing songs of joy and peace.
I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

My Christmas song... always.
