I'm slowly settling in my new married life. We just finished decorating our room. I'm so pumped to start with the rest of the house but Pao and I are taking it easy. I'm starting to build a schedule and routine going back and forth from our house to my parents' place. I've realized now that I'm married I want to have my major resolution list and really stick to it:

1. Quality over quantity. IN EVERYTHING. I'm still learning to edit my closet and my stuff. Besides, I figured I won't be able to haul all my mess to my new home. =)

2. Quality Relationships. The same quality over quantity philosophy applies here. Now that I'm getting older and hopefully a bit wiser, I want to leave the highschool mentality of being little miss popular with everyone in my life. I want to be able to nourish and keep friendships for a lifetime and that means investing more in people, albeit few who are sincere and emotionally healthy than keeping all acquaintances and friendships that are draining and one-sided--just for the sake of keeping them.

3. Stop second-guessing myself and my tastes. I am frilly, extravagant and girly. And I love it. =)

4. Be a little more patient and to mellow down a bit. I've always been assertive and a bit of a perfectionist and though it has served me well the past years, it also brought unnecessary stress in my life over things I cannot control. I guess that is why Pao and I are perfect for each other because he is so laidback and calm.

5. To establish a routine in my life. Though admittedly am a perfectionist, I also work in my own terms and in my own time. I argue that creativity doesn't have a schedule yet I'm realizing the rest of the world does. =)

I'm not too ambitious with my list. ;)
