...my "resolutions", so far...

Three months had pass since I reluctantly, ushered in 2011. And I'm thinking, whatever happened to "my list", of which I blog about, obviously. Despite my best intentions, right after I click "PUBLISH", I totally forgot about it, except for one thing.

BOOK LIST

 One place where I get most of the books I've read.

That one about making a list of all the books I've read. I realized that it's not really hard to do as long as I remember to take note what I'm reading. Books I've read since January of this year.

1. The Girl Who Played With Fire ( STIEG LARSSON )
2. The Forgotten Garden ( KATE MORTON )
3. Last Night In Twisted River ( JOHN IRVING )
4. Predator ( PATRICIA CORNWELL )
5. The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest ( STIEG LARSSON )
6. The Confession ( JOHN GRISHAM )

February 2011

1. Of Love And Evil ( ANNE RICE )
2. I Feel Bad About My Neck And Other Thoughts On Being A Woman ( NORA EPHRON )
3. MiniShopaholic ( SOPHIE KINSELLA )
4. The Pillars Of The Earth ( KEN FOLLETT )

March 2011

1. Paths Of Glory ( JEFFREY ARCHER )
2. Secret Daughter ( SHILPI SOMAYA GOWDA )
3. Mockingjay ( SUZANNE COLLINS )
4. The House At Riverton ( KATE MORTON )
5. Mosaic ( SOHEIR KHASHOGGI )
6. I Remember Nothing And Other Reflections ( NORA EPHRON )

Note: I'm not "bragging" about this, though it seems that I am. Honestly, I don't. :-)

I'M STILL RUNNING

I'm proud to say that I have been running, consistently. Want proof? Check out my Daily Mile account and my running blog. Sure, I'd understand if you have the urge to shot back, "Who cares if you're running?"  Well, I just thought I'd let you know.

WHAT BOOK REVIEW?

I've read other blogs, book blogs for that matter. And that's where I get the idea of writing a book review. I mean, the bloggers, really write nice reviews. And so I say to myself, why can't I write one too? Unfortunately, I am hopeless. Though I wrote something about "The Forgotten Garden" but I'm sure it won't pass for a book report ( remember, the ones we used to do in school ), let alone a book review ( the kind that makes people "want" to read the book ).

WHAT BLOG?

Lately, I can't seem to find the motivation to come up post for this blog. Not for short of topics to talk about. I guess I'm just lazy. Or worse, I have a lot of things in mind that I end up blank. Anyway, I'm trying to write as often as I can.

I'M A WORK IN PROGRESS

 All that "kneading" is worth it.

In the kitchen, that is. I can't cook. An upfront admission. I am fortunate enough to be stuck in a job that--of all things--requires me to be "adept" in the kitchen. I can't say I'm good at what I'm doing but I'm working on it. Baking, for one, is a lot of work but fun. When it comes to food, I'd do anything or maybe not.

WHAT JOURNAL?

my Moleskine notebook

My Moleskine notebook is filled halfway ( thank God, now I have a "valid" excuse to buy a new one ) Actually, what's written on it is not entirely about the minutiae of my daily life. I wrote drafts of possible blog post. Favorite quotes. Again, I tried to keep at it but to no avail. I think, I can't do the "write what happen today" stuff almost daily.

So there it goes, the first quarter of the year, went by in a blur. I've proven that "resolutions" are just that, resolutions. And somehow, one way or another, they're bound to be ignored or followed. Whichever works for you.

Go figures.
