New year's resolution
It's tradition, so, forgive me.
Today, I am resolved to break the following promises:
1. Be fit. Meaning, I have to be more wary of the food I take in and to realize that eating is not for pleasure but for nourishing the body. I also need to start going to the gym or walk more than I used to. More physical activities for me.
2. Map out my future and stick with it. To all those who've read my previous posts, I've resigned from my work at the Provincial Capitol in our province as the executive assistant for a local legislator. So, officially, effective today, I am on the job market. Again! It seems that I can't stick to one job for more than two years. But then again there were instances that I did stay with one company for quite a long time. I really want to stick with one job, with finality. But then again, this month I will start with the review for me to get my license to practice Physical Therapy in the US. Perhaps I would need to wait after the review before finally deciding what I really want for myself. Should I continue with my PT practice or should I instead go back to school for higher studies? That remains to be seen, and I hope to make this decision before the year ends. I am not getting younger, after all.
3. Review my priorities. I want to follow a spiritual path, but lately I feel so jaded. Its like life is just all too familiar, nothing to surprise me. I've become so cynical to the point that I barely find sincerity in people, always thinking of some ulterior motive behind another's actions. I want to regain the spirit of innocence that most kids have, that kind of innocence that sees newness in every experience. Even my meditation time has become so ordinary, lacking the magic. I need newness, I need to refresh myself.
For the meantime, I need to start thinking how I'm supposed to survive this next three months without any viable source of income.
Here's a wonderful meditation video for you, guys. Enjoy!

@tribong_upos - You heard correct, and they were accompanied by Vienna's Boys Choir too for a couple of songs too.

This is how NY concert usually ends - this is from this year's concert - ending
@bmojsilo - oh, I see... their finale

@tribong_upos - I think they always finish with Radetzky march, which is one of my favorite compositions.
Reasonable goals. Good luck achieving your goals!
