Every New Year I always spend the first couple of days looking back and reminiscing on everything I went through: my failures, regrets, struggles, and things that just didn't work out the way I had hoped it would. But this year feels different. I feel like something good is going to happen. And it's not going to be my hope in destiny or some sort of happening by chance, but I want to try and make something good happen.

Toward the end of last year I hit a wall and felt like all my dreams was broken. Now that I got back up on my feet I feel more confident to go back and try again on what I set out to do.

So for the next six or eight months, I'll be spending the majority of my time putting together a portfolio and other projects that will hopefully open up doors for grander things. Which means, less gaming, more saving (money that is), and less idling away of my time. Which also means I'll probably be posting less in the forums and browsing the internet like I always do.

I'll definitely make sure to drop by to see how everyone is doing. But for the next six-eight months, I'll be in lock-down mode. I guess you can say that this will be my personal goal for the first half of the year and I'm going to try my best to have the least amount of distractions until I get it done!

I need to take the iniative more. When I look back at what happened last year and seeing my current situation now, things seem to be improving. I have more time now and I feel more stable. Last year, all I did was work and I felt like my life was going nowhere. I'm still working, but this year, I've been fortunate to be given more time to do the things I want to do, which is to continue to follow my desired career path. The timing is just right. It's not perfect, but I'm just glad that it feels like I've been given another chance.

Wish me luck!

I hope 2011 will be a good year for all of us.
