New years resolutions (2008)

Ok, it is almost that time of year where some people decide to make resolutions for the upcoming year. Resolutions that are upheld for about 4.5 seconds.

Are there any resolutions that anyone is actually planning on sticking to?

My own personal plan on world domination is kinda on hold...

Try my idea of world domination cloning genetically modified soldiers whos limbs regenerate including organs of the body pretty cool eh?

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...

I always make New Years resolutions and find I don't do so bad sticking to them. The main one for me is going to be to spend more time with family, especially my sisters, to do a lot more together, ie go shopping, cinema, eat out together etc which we hardly do nowadays coz we're rarely free at the same time, so it'll require effort and a bit of give and take from us all.

- Finish my coursework a few days before the deadline, not on the day.
- Eat more often, and not to miss breakfast, lunch.
- Help with housework.
- Sleep more.

Lol I'm going to try and go the opposite, try to consume less!

As for New Year resolution

pass my driving
better my character
Adopt a healthier diet.
Decrease my love for food.

A rose protects its beauty with thorns..a woman protects hers with a veil

None cos I cant stick to them.

But if I could stick to them them:

Get job
Do further Arabic courses
Driving Lessons
Become Rich

' Nay, verily! With me is my Lord, He will guide me ' {2662}

1. Finish my course... even if it kills me.
2. Get a Job.
3. Get my brother married off.
4. Tease him endlessly about it.
5. Get back to writing & drawing.
6. Eat better.

eat better (more healthily and more regularly).
go to bed earlier.
fast mondays and thursdays.
save more money each month.
get married off (maybe thats next years one)

Don't just do something! Stand there.

why do ppl always think that if they are big it must be because they eat a lot. I dont think its true. If you eat 3 healthy meals a day and exercise at least 30 mins (even if its just walking (good way to burn off the calories)) instead of snacking or starving yourself you should start to lose the excess baggage.

why dont you just get the bus to work or are you one of those environmental friendly ppl? Think about the time you could save.

Do you have a basket at the front of your cycle with a lil bell that goes ping? Blum 3

A bus is semi-eco friendly where as cycling is healthy and eco friendly and can really relieve stress. I think cycling is better than the bus especially if your in a routine, i doubt you have the bell more of a mountain bike i reckon.

i took a bus before: A) it took MUCH longer, Dirol it was MUCH more uncomfortable and C) it can get delayed easily which means I couldn't judge how long the journey would take.

with a bike i know it'll be EXACTLY 30 mins to work. I get to work feeling wide-awake and ready for the day. I stay healthy, and its FUN!

I have a little bell on the bike which goes 'ping' and a big Bell on the bike that goes "get out the way!"

The only problem is on mondays and thursdays cos I've got my evening course on the other side of London, I have to take the bus to work Sad

riding a bike is fun...... have you seen the weather out there?

I can think of a benefit of getting the bus to work.....you can read the Qur'an which is almost impossible to do on a cycle. That way you have time to do something else. Thats two things already crossed from your list Biggrin

I used to read on the bus when I lived in my old house. Yes, sometimes the Qur'an (sure-fire way to keep the seat next to you empty :)). I ALWAYS got a seat cos I got on at the first stop.

The trouble is, when I moved house it meant that the new bus I take is always full by the time it gets to my stop, sometimes the driver doesn't even stop cos its too full. Its the most uncomfortable way to start the day IMO.

Don't just do something! Stand there.

If your a quran hafiz you can ride a bike and read the quran, if you read the quran on public transport your just leaving yourself as a target.
