2007 I bid thee farewell. Stealing some ideas from VJ, I am writing my farewell to 2007 note.
My friend ABong says when comes to "sampling sushi" its about quantity over quality. I tend to argue for quality. I rather have one top quality than 10 mediocre. But everyone got their different ideas when it comes to sushi. And people who are married tend to think more towards quantity maybe?
I have a few goals in mind for 2008.
1. Wake up earlier and get to work earlier. Requires change of lifestyle.
2. Get to the gym regularly and lose the extra 5-7lbs of fat. I got a few good years left, I should maximize them.
3. Finish what I start. I have a habit of bailing on things instead of finishing them. Finish strong in 2008.
4. Focus at work. Really focus. I am in a prime position, I can make it big if I focus.
5. Find some hotties. Need to work on my gaming tactics for this.
What I did well in 2007.
1. Reconnected w/ some old buddies and explore SF alot more. Also exploring Tokyo alot now.
2. Found a great job in Tokyo and really interviewed the hell out of the city and wound up w/ pretty much the best I could ask for at this point in time.
3. Was able to keep finances cashflow stable in the black during in these dire times.
4. Investments were quite good, despite a serious scare in August.
5. Been more active, lots of snowboarding, tennis, etc. Traveled alot too.
6. Determined to live life so I made a big move to Tokyo which has paid off well for me.
What I did not do well in 2007.
1. Got out of shape. I think I gained 3-4lbs. I started the year in better shape, was going to the gym at a ridiculous membership cost of $125/month [which for tokyo is not that high].
2. Wasted a ton of money. My outflow was probably an extra $30k compared to the year before.
3. Focus at work. I pretty much accomplished nothing at work the whole year across 2 jobs.
4. Improve myself. I can't say I really improved my knowledge of anything or my skills.
Wow that sounds like a downer. Oh well live and learn!
