Needs and Wants for 2009

Yep. It's the start of another year. And here I am listing down some of the things that I wish to have this year and some that I need to put more of my attention to. Since new year resolutions are just for the young ones or for those who still believe in them, I have listed here more of the things that my heart desires. I've placed a tag on them to indicate which ones should be getting more of the attention. Obviously, "Need" requires more of the effort than "Want" but in the end I think they just equalize. That is.. when money gets involved.


Cellphone - want
I do need an upgrade! A 3G phone is at the very least of my requirement. My phone's been up and running for almost three years now and it's got its wear and tear. The battery to say the least is causing me to get annoyed when my phone shuts off everytime it receives a call or even a message at times. Battery pack got replaced once but still it won't do. I definitely need a new unit and I won't go for a SE phone when I get to purchase one.


PSP / PS3 / XBOX360 / any Gaming Console - want
Yes, Boredom kills! I really need something to fill in idle times with some pleasurable moments especially now that I am on a looooong vacation from any work. Now that's studying is over playtime is on! It's time to unleash the gaming-freak side of me! Well, I guess...


Digital Camera / Canon DSLR - want
I am not a professional photographer or any sort. I am just fascinated with the ever-changing technology and I want to try them out. Haha! Actually, I am fond of keeping good memories in still photos or just writing about them. When capturing nice scenes or events, why not use the best device there is, right? Honestly, I don't have money yet to purchase my luxuries but I will work myself out to have them..haha.. Aja!


Buy and read more books - need
What? It's just not me to read books but hey, I finished reading J.K Rowling's Harry Potter books! Then, that's all! And that's very long time ago. This time around, I'll make sure that I get to read more books and end them with a review. Novels, short stories, comics, inspirational or any that appeals to me. As long as I can say something about it after reading, then I'll give it a go.


Keep in touch(blog, texts, email, chat ,social networking) - need
One of the things that I missed a lot last year is to connect with the world around me. Almost the whole year I was so engrossed with nothing but building my own career. Now, those days are over and it's time to refresh that connection. Updating this blog aside from my other social networking accounts will somehow let any online friends know that I'm still alive. I'll have to make sure to not miss out any gimmicks with the barkada, write more often to my aunt in NZ, chat with my cousin and aunt in CO and reply to all the text message I receive! Now, this sounds more of a resolution huh!


Catch a movie in cinema - need
This one, I like! I think catching a good movie in cinema is a worthwhile past time. I got this idea from C&D who are frequent movie goers. Well, it's part of their job as radio jocks anyway but for me, I consider it as a good activity for friends and family. This year, I aim to catch more movies in cinema because I appreciate more the movie in big screen with best audio quality and with no distractions. I'll try also to comment on movies that I watch.


Listen to music - want
On the year that has just passed, I admit, I've broken the morning habit. I missed out listening to the Morning Rush many times! But I'm glad for both C&D for winning a "bird" in the KBP Golden Dove Award -- and for RX too! Well at least I've been up to date since late last year and I even missed Delle when she was out for a very long vacation. It wasn't that much interesting though with Gino as substitute but the stint worked out for some based from some feedbacks. Aside from the infamous Top Ten, I also missed out some of the new songs last year. I'll try this year to keep myself posted with the new songs and which ones are topping the charts -- mostly from billboard and the local countdown.


Go to places - need
My ultimate dream is -- to find out for myself if the earth is really round. lol! Kidding aside, I really want to travel to different places. If the opportunity is there -- all expenses paid, itinerary is ready and all requirements are fixed, I'll definitely have a round of the different places in the world. But, all journeys always begin with a tiny step. Maybe I got to pay a visit to my province first: in Bicol and La Union. I haven't been there for quite some time. And explore the wonders of our own land -- the Philippine archipelago!


Laptop - want
This one's what I've been wanting to have. I hope somebody just gives it to me because I can't afford to buy myself sooner. I was left with a promise though that I would be given such when I pass the exams so I guess patience is all I need. When I have one, I could just write anything conveniently and anytime I want. So it means better blogging!


Have a job - NEED
And to cap it all off, my biggest need for 2009 is to have a JOB. I guess after listing down all the luxuries I want to have, need I say more about it?



ALL THE BEST FOR 2009!!! =)
