February Finished in a Flash

Another month down. Here's my progress so far:

Learn Ilokano

• Nothing new here. I need to start picking up on my lola's Ilokano.

Improve Tagalog by speaking a different each day

• Getting better. I can form sentences without stopping to think now.

Learn to cook a new recipe each month (2 / 12)

• February had Yema candies! March is still up in the air.

Find new hobby

• Just started ballroom today! Learning the cha-cha. Pretty awesomely funtastic.

Befriend someone new

• I've met some great people ranging from young to old in ballroom class. Looking forward to making new friends there.

Consume an average of 1,800 Calories per day (91,070 / 657,000 KCal for the year)

• Consumed about 12,250 Calories last week. Running total's 91,070 Calories now.

Read 5 new books (1 / 5)

• Haven't picked a new book since Return of Prodigal Son. My old habits are starting to creep in again.

Maintain a budget of $40 for game-related purchases ( $55 / 480 for the year)

• WoW subscription's up, giving me more breathing room for game purchases. I'll probably only buy FFXIII for X360 this coming March. Cannot wait.

Create Facebook app

• My buddy's really interested in doing the art for this future hit-game. But other than that, no progress.

Spend at least 20 minutes walking the dogs

• Still do it. Every morning or night, I'll walk 'em around the neighborhood, picking up their poop.

Don't curse for 300 days ( 41 / 300 )

• Intense COD sessions had me swearing out of my eyes on Thursday. But pretty good about this one.

Make money off investments ( $500 / $5,000 )

• Haven't traded much. BAC still trucking along. I'll keep riding this high til I hit $ 1,000. Damn me for selling F stock though.

Don't miss Church

• Didn't miss a Sunday. Even attended Ash Wednesday. Ate meat last Friday though; it just slipped my mind. Bah.

Find a new job (or prospective job) by the end of the year

• Current job's good. I'll start searching once my Dad gets a job.

Buy own place

• Coming soon. Stay tuned.

Learn five new piano songs (2 / 5)

• Finished 100 Years. Onto... something. I think Coldplay's Viva la Vida. Maybe.

Learn five new guitar songs (0 / 5)

• Only have a play list. Consists of artists such as John Mayer, Joshua Radin, and 3 Doors Down.

Teach Charlie new tricks

• I've been so lazy with this one. F- for me on this one.

Read one book from the Bible each month (3 / 12)

• Finished both books of Samuel. Good stuff. Has David and Goliath story and David's ascension to king of all Israel.

February's done. Amazing. I've been trying to reconnect with old high school buddies, and it's been refreshing talking to them again. Also I've been taking pictures of my old paintings (my "glory days" of being an artist) and I can't believe I was that good. It's been a good month, especially how Canada owned the US in the Olympics! I'm so proud to be Canadian. And with that I'm off. Wish me luck this month!
