Fitness/health

20. Do a fitness class at least once a month (6/33)
I love fitness class [more than I thought I would] ! It’s just so much more fun when you’re working out with friends & family. Plus Joe [who takes Body Vibe @ Oxygen in Camberwell] is such an awesome instructor. He makes it really enjoyable, [...]

Career/Finances/Independence

5. Move out
Papers were signed on the 12th of March 2008 & I’ve bought my very first home ! Oh yay. ^.^v I’m so ecstatic! I don’t actually move out till May, or start of semester two but just thinking about it excites me. Hopefully I can move in with a couple of [...]


Creativity/Music

13. Document an entire day with photos (6th March 2008)
Okay, so I bent the rules slightly. At first I specified in this goal that there should be a “minimum 1 photo per hour” but that obviously didn’t work when I was in a tutorial at university, and doing sport. However, I do think this is [...]

November 2007:

Mid-length with layers & fringe.


Relationships/Family/friends
59. Compile a CD for each of my close friends with at least 15 tracks that epitomise them (16th March 2008)
Order of friends has no significance. It’s just, if you have similar taste to me, it’d be heaps easier to compile something for ya. Well, I hope you guys appreciate this ! It took awhile [...]


Self-Improvement/Personal
80. Get rid of 101 material items (5/101)
This task should be relatively easy to do considering how much junk I have & things I don’t utilise [most of the junk I have is not really .. 'useful' e.g. candles, pretty things]. I guess I’ve been lazy to give them away or sell the stuff because [...]


Gaining Knowledge/Intellectual Pursuits
46. Blog about each book read or re-read (5/50)

The Law of Love by Laura Esquivel

Genre: New Age-sci-fi-magical realism
Comments: In two words, sappy and strange. I do give props though for its unique use of words with music and images. I think what Esquivel was trying to do here was help with the mood [...]


Food

31. Try five new coffees (5/5) (13th June 2008)
1. Ristretto / Short black from Gloria Jeans : * disgustingly bitter with a disturbing aftertaste
2. Iced Americano from Starbucks : *** yummy but nothing special
3. Vivalto from Nespresso varieties : Eh.  Alright. < Instant coffee
4. Volluto from Nespresso varieties : Same response as above. Tasted the [...]
