My Resolutions

This year has almost ended, hasn’t it? Starting next year I’ll be going to another high school, I’ll study new subjects, meet new classmates. It’s scary, to be honest. I’ve never been the easy adapting to a new environment type. I’m terrified when thinking they’ll see me as weird and won’t accept me. But there’s no going back now :)

My first resolution is, like most people I think, to lose weight. 

My weight has been bugging me for years and I’m tired of it. I’m sick of hating my own body, avoiding mirrors, feeling guilty after every time I eat. I’m sick of not being able to wear what clothes and how I want them because of my tummy and thighs. I want to learn to accept and eventually love myself this year. 10 kilos off it is.

Read 50 books.

I guess there is not much to explain about this. I want to improve my English and knowledge.

Make a move with him.

If the crush lasts, I want to find the courage to let him know, discreetly of course, about it.

Learn more about my cameras and photography.

The world is so beautiful! I want to learn how to capture precious moments properly, to show everybody the beauty within.

Study Japanese more. 

I want to go to Japan in 2013 (or maybe even next year, who knows), therefore it would be nice if I could polish it a bit.

Become a better person. 

Learn how to be more patient, to think before I act and to be less mean with the ones around me.

And lastly, a materialistic resolution: 

Buy a pair of JC’s Litas <3

An optimistic me, filled with hope and dreams for the new year.

What are your resolutions for the upcoming year? Do we have any in common? :)

Half of my Christmas

Me and Daddy

For some time now, Christmas had a rough start for me. Last year I got in a huge fight with dad while we were doing the tree, whereas this year has been no different: on the 22nd, when I was at my dad’s place doing the tree, my mom started ~cleaning~ my room, aka throwing away everything she thought of as useless. Apparently, all the pamphlets I collected during my trips to Japan were labelled as useless and so did the amplifying wire the bassist from Guild gave me when I was to their live :(

Pretty globes~

But it ended up as a beautiful Christmas. I wasn’t mad on my mom in the first place, I was just really sad I lost all those precious items.

Unfortunately my Canon’s lens was broken so I only managed to take photos of half of my Christmas, as the title says, at my dad’s place (with his camera). I took a ton of photos but these are the only ones he emailed me :(

Presents wise, this year has been amazing. I got new lens for my Canon baby, a Pentax film camera (shot 7 pictures already :3), 2 beautiful necklaces and an Iphone 4.

I still have no CF card for my Canon so I had to take pictures of my presents with my iphone, therefore there are no shots of the black baby.

And, as every Christmas goes, there has to be a derpy tree decoration photo, right? : D

Did you enjoy your Christmas? What about your presents? Hope you had a lovely time!

Took this in summer, after I came back from Oxford. Outside was rainy, I missed England so I rung S up to go take some photos~

Summer, London, Freedom. Such beautiful times... Unfortunately a friend thought of disturbing my outfit shot (you can see his leg and arm)

Saving the best for last :) The dress I wore for my 16th birthday, the day I broke my iphone's screen and went to put an end to my childhood (finally) by seeing Harry Potter 7 pt 2. Good times they were~

These were my favourites :) Hopefully I’ll improve both my style and posing in 2012. Any advice? Which was your favourite?
