It has been a very challenging year for many of us and since the year will almost end to begin a new one, let us check again our goals and plans and one of them (a popular one) is a New Years Resolution. Well, it doesn’t matter if we can really do all the listings we’ve made that’s why I am posting some funny New Years Resolutions.

P.S(seriously): These are not mine (found in the web) ..ejoy and Happy New Year to everyone =)

* Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day in my nightdress. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom.

* I will no longer waste my time relieving the past, instead I will spend it worrying about the future.

* I will not bore my boss by with the same excuse for taking leaves. I will think of some more excuses.

* I will do less laundry and use more deodorant.

* I will avoid taking a bath whenever possible and conserve more water.

* Assure my lawyer that I will never again show up drunk at a custody hearing.

* I will give up chocolates totally. 100%. Completely. Honestly….

* I will try to figure out why I *really* need nine e-mail addresses.

* I will stop sending e-mails to my wife (husband).

* I resolve to work with neglected children — my own.

* I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.

* I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I’m not a clock watcher.

* I will read the manual… just as soon as I can find it.

* I will think of a password other than “password.”

* I will not tell the same story at every get together.

* I won’t worry so much.

* I will cut my hair.

* I will grow my hair.

* I will stop considering other people’s feelings when they so obviously don’t consider mine – if that unwashed fellow sits next to me again, I’ll tell him he stinks!

* I will be more imaginative.

* I will not hang around girls – they think you love them and that sucks.

* I will not ring the stewardess button on airplanes just to get her phone number.

Resolutions You Would be Tempted to Keep…
For those who are scared of making resolutions here are some resolutions they would actually be tempted to keep!!

* Spend more time watching TV / movies.
* Chat more over phone / Internet.
* Read less.
* I want to gain weight. Put on at least 30 pounds.
* Stop exercising. Waste of time.
* Procrastinate more.
* Drink. Drink some more.
* Start being superstitious.
* Spend more less time at work.
* Stop bringing lunch from home: I should eat out more.
* Take up a new habit: Maybe smoking!

Merry Christmas again to everyone.. It seems that this year is very different from last year, I dont but in our place , there were fewer firecrackers in the eve and lesser people in the streets, I mean , much lesser than expected , provided that the attention for many people(including
myself) to be doing other things. It is really true that there is so much to do know than the past which means our usual activities which is already relevant. I expected everyone to be online most of the time, some even play dota, farmville ,access their facebook , friendster accounts etc during the holidays. I’m also amazed with our ISP(Internet service provider) that the connection is all well during the peak hours.

Well, that is probably better than being getting hurt by firecrackers or being hit by a stray bullet(thats scary). Thats what technology do and I
can imagine in the near future that everyone will be online during the holidays and greet each othere there( that would save greeting cards and paper). Of course the true spirit of Christmas is not about having all the earthly things, its also about knowing that you are not alone in this quiet(or chaotic) holidays..

Its been a while since I posted something in this blog, and what better way to post something than about Christmas, Just went this interesting article about Santa. Just want to share something for you kids out there uhhmm I mean bloggers…=)

=============================================

Santa Claus the man is actually loosely rooted in fact, though he hasn’t always looked the way he does today, having evolved from a gift-giving Catholic saint who lived during the third century.

The Protestant Reformation and the emigration of European traditions to America morphed that pious figure into the red-suited character that is now one of the most famous images in the world, complete with his iconic army of elves and a magical transportation system.

In an 1822 poem entitled “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” – more commonly called “Twas the Night Before Christmas” – by Clement Moore, Santa is further imagined with a magic sleigh powered by reindeer, a sack full of toys, and a round stomach, “like a bowl full of jelly.”

By the late 1800s, most depictions of Santa Claus followed this imagery, but the final cog in the Claus legend was provided by Coca-Cola ad illustrator Haddon Sundblom, whose 1930s red-suited Santa, complete with white-fur trim and leather boots, became the iconic standard recognizable today.

It wasn’t until 1809 that Santa Clause got fat, and by the late 1800s he was wearing the full red suit with the fur trim and leather boots. Image credit: stockxpert

Anyways, just want to greet everyone Merry Christmas!!!..=)
