“Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come. Goals give us direction. They put a powerful force into play on a universal, conscious, and subconscious level. Goals give our life direction. What would you like to have happen in your life this year? What would you like to do, to accomplish? What good would you like to attract into your life? What particular areas of growth would you like to have happen to you? What blocks, or character defects, would you like to have removed? What would you like to attain? Little things and big things? Where would you like to go? What would you like to have happen in friendship and love? What would you like to have happen in your family life? What problems would you like to see solved? What decisions would you like to make? What would you like to happen in your career? Write it down. Take a piece of paper, a few hours of your time, and write it all down - as an affirmation of you, your life, and your ability to choose. Then let it go.  The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.” 

― Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go: Hazelden Meditation Series

I just wanna say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 to you all! May every great new day bring you sweet surprises :)

Thank God it's weekend! Finally, I can post this! It's been 3 weeks since the last time I opened my blog. I've been so busy with my school stuffs these days. But I'm happy now because it's December which means holiday is in front of my eyes :D

"The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes and all the greatest shoes, but you’ve got to have a good spirit on the inside. That’s what’s really going to make you look like you’re ready to rock the world.”

—Alicia Keys

They say gold is the color of success, achievement and triumph. Associated with abundance and prosperity, luxury and quality, prestige and sophistication value and elegance. In my opinion, gold really make a great touch to an outfit. Just like my gold dress. Oh, have I told you guys that I got it for free? Yes, I won it several months ago from a video competition. I love the gold color of my dress and I love how the color looks sparkly. But unfortunately, in these photos it doesn't look too sparkly :(
