make 2012 my best year yet

The last quarter of the year has been good too! Went home to Hungary twice, and finally visited New York in October, just before Sandy! Wow, I loved it! I know it’s one of the most vibrant cities in the world, but I had such a relaxing time there. Slept a lot, especially at day time and couldn’t sleep at all during night. The jet lag really f**cked me up! :) But I enjoyed it a lot! And the last trip of the year is going to be China, and we will be spending the New Year there.
This month I have been pampering myself too, got a full body massage, full body wax, Moroccan bath and blow dry.
Christmas was just ok, because I was feeling sad for having to work in a country where it has no meaning at all, but for dinner we had a nice meal at a hotel.

To sum up 2012, I was generally feeling very happy. Traveled a lot, spend good time with my husband and friends, was feeling healthy, enjoyed my work, got promoted and bought my first car. I couldn’t wish for more!

Here is to an awesome 2013!!!

The third quarter of the year had been amazing! Did some short trips to the Seychelles, went to Milan and Lake Como, met with one of my ex classmate there and in September we had a nice long holiday with my husband. We visited Bangkok, Sydney, New Zealand (both South and North Islands) and Kuala Lumpur. Got many new experiences about the cultures, people, touched koalas, wombats, kangooros, wallabies and lion cubs and saw amazing nature and did some great tours.
Also I rented a car at the end of July and started driving it, and in the beginning of September we bought our own. So there is no stopping now, I can go wherever I want, whenever I want.
I enjoyed my time locally too, met with my friends, went to the beach, ate at great restaurants and relaxed.
I had a real happy summer!
Now it’s end of the year, less than 3 months to go. For this month there is a plan to go to the opera, and some short traveling plans too, but still not sure about it.
And in the beginning of November I am finally going home to Hungary for a few days. Really feeling homesick! And it will be also time for some health improvement, I will be visiting my dentist and dermatologist.

I just want to have a list of my plans for this year:

- trip to Australia and New Zealand
- going home to Hungary
- visiting the dentist
- visiting the dermatologist
- renewing my passport
- renewing my driving license
- vaccinating my dog and scaling her teeth
- buying a car
- loosing some weight
- going to USA
- going to Mauritius
- start exercising

This year has been great so far! At the end of April we went to Brazil and since then I did lots of day trips, as I can’t have a holiday till September. Went to Kenya with my husband, to Seychelles with friends (3 times), once to Hungary, but that was only for a few hours and once to Milan and Lake Como in Italy.
I have been promoted to work, so now I have better salary and I will have to work independently in a few month, but right now I am still doing the same.
I got some new clothes, so I became a bit more stylish.
One of my friends left Qatar, but another came. We are going out often, so life is not boring at all.
On Fridays we are having delicious lunches or brunches at different restaurants with my husband.
Some weeks ago I started exercising driving with a college of mine, and some days ago I rented a car for a month and now driving on my own. It feels great to be independent, go wherever I want, whenever I want. Before I started I had a know in my stomach, that I won’t be able to do it, but when I saw that I can, it just felt amazing!
The summer is pretty hot, but so far so good, having a good time! And I am not even fed up with the weather like last year!
There are two areas I need to concentrate on: eat less take away food and cook more to have a healthier diet and do more sports! This is where I have to make a huge effort!

So the first 3 months of the year is over (almost). It’s been good so far. I have been in Hungary twice and we went to Cape Town, which was really really great and amazing!
And next week I am going to Poland and Berlin, which will tick off two goals from my list. At the end of April we are planning Brazil, hope we will be able to go.
Healthwise I think I’m doing a bit better, but not good enough yet. I had a tight trouser which is comfortable now, so I lost a little bit of weight. On the weeks I am working in the afternoon I can cook at home and eat better, but when I am working in the mornings I still order food, because it’s easier. This has to be changed, because it’s not even delicious, expensive and not too healthy.
I was able to stop drinking Red Bull, I don’t wish it anymore. I’m not saying I will never drink anymore, because surely I will, but rarely. Not every day as I used to. And the substitute for it is grapefruit juice and blueberry, these are the foods which make me happy now.
Sportwise I’m not doing good, but that’s about too change. When I write next time it should be better.
I’m meeting with my friends quite often, so that’s good, and also with my husband we are trying to do different things on Fridays, not the old boring goings to shopping malls anymore.
I’m also planning to go for a full body massage very soon and maybe should even try jetskiing.
So my goals for the next 3 months: more sports, loosing weight, traveling and buying some nice new summer clothes!

It’s not even 2012, but I have my plans already.

One major goal of the year is to loose weight. I know I can do it by eating better and doing more sports, even taking up running, I have just been lazy so far, it’s easier to watch TV/surf on the internet/read books. This has to change!

The other main goal is to travel a lot! Right now my plans for the next year are Canada, Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, USA, Japan or China and Malaysia, but these are subject to change. The more the better! I hope by next year this time I will be a real globetrotter!

Other then this, I’m just planning to enjoy my life with my husband and dog, meet with my friends often, enjoy life generally and staying healthy. And work of course, I’m planning to keep my job for the next few years, but a promotion would be great!

Next to all this, I should save some money too.
And cook delicious healthy foods, not only order from takeaway.
Maybe should start studying something to stimulate my mind, get better in German or Italian.
