Well, it’s that time of the year again when we TRY to make a list of resolutions we’d hope we will keep. What was your last year’s resolutions? Did you keep the list? If you did, how was it? Did you do at least 50% of them? Ah, if you’re like me you probably have lost the list, haven’t kept any of them and are banging your head WHY you ever made them in the first place.
Back in school, students were encouraged to make a list. I remember those days clearly… what we’d do was make that list, and the teacher would make us recite them in front of class. There was a year when we had a “buddy” who’d keep us to our promises day in and out of the new year. You guessed it (!) that buddy never did check after the first week, and that teacher forgot to check.
If you’re the type who like lists, make a new year’s resolution. I’d encourage you to post it somewhere you can always see, like the refrigerator door, a mirror, or somewhere you frequently glance on. It didn’t help me, but it may do you good.

The female goat, named Hana, was born early Wednesday in the [...]
One of the biggest things I’m raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I’d mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I’d pull into a gas station how I’d hand over my credit card to a gas attendant [...]
Remember that handy black gadget that was so cool 20 years ago? I remember begging my parents to get me one of them, as my classmates all had one. A chunky black box with matching headphones, which were just as chunky, seemed to be one of the coolest status symbols way back then. [...]
It’s no joke, the Guiness Book of World Records says “a world record in the length of a queue to a toilet was set on Sunday when 756 people lined up to a latrine in central Brussels to raise awareness for the need for clean water on World Water Day.”
What an achievement! And [...]
Did you know that there are hundreds and hundreds of different phobias? Some are afraid of chickens, some are afraid of ants, and others are afraid of air! Of the phobias, I don’t really know which one is the most common but I do know that I have met so many people with [...]
I believe that reading is at the root of learning. Children who learn to read at an early age and continue to do so as they grow older have a big advantage over those who do not pick up books on a regular basis. Reading opens up worlds that may otherwise be closed [...]
What would drive a man to end his family’s life. This is sad news, brace yourselves. You’ve heard that Ervin Lupoes has decided to end his life and his family’s. Authorities investigating this has mentioned the motive was because “he has no job and has five children”. Taking matter into his [...]
