escapades of the elusive kat

Apparently, Photobucket has quit their 3rd party hosting services, so many of my old posts will have the photos.... gone.....

The Flickr mobile app isn't much help in uploading stuff. Meh. I need to find some reliable photo hosting thing. (There's always LJ, but on the mobile phone... hm....)

Just did a friends cut. It's just simply clearing out the accounts that I haven't seen updated for the longest of times. As I always say, I'm pretty easy-going and don't mind if we don't click. But those accounts that are inactive may just as well go so as not to clog up my f-list.

In case you are simply lurking around but want to be added back, just let me know. This post will be kept  public.

I don't know if 2012 will really be happy or not, but, a greeting needs to stay positive ya?

I'd like to jot down a few 2012 resolutions for myself, in no particular order, or as I'm thinking:

1. Use my DSLR camera at least twice a month
2. Study 1 chapter of whichever Japanese learning book I have once a week. (Either Minnano Nihongo, Live From Tokyo, and some other Japanese texts studies)
3. Study 1 chapter of the German book my Aunt will be giving me once a week
4. Blog 3 times a week: LJ (English) / Ameba (Japanese) / Blogger (Portuguese)
5. Challenged myself to read 50 books in 2012 (that's on Goodreads.com)
6. Drink 2 glasses of Anlene HIGH Calcium Low fat milk DAILY
7. Track all my expenses on my iPhone App
8. Drink all the teas that I've got (and I've collected quite a lot)
9. Ride on my OTO bike (stationary home-use bicycle) every evening for 30 minutes
10. Run with the dogs for 10 minutes during their morning walks. (On this note, any tips for me on how to increase lung capacity?)
11. Start learning how to coordinate clothes
12. Start using all those make-ups I've got

I guess that should be good enough for now. hm, interesting... nothing work-related. I'm actually pretty de-motivated right now, but ohwell. Not even thinking about saving up money for the apartment.

oh, I'm in a bit of a sour mood, yes. I'll probably write something about it later.

Edit: I got it all done! But... apparently over the years I didn't collect much book reviews... *shrugs* I feel a bit sad. I've read quite a lot of books! But I didn't write reviews for them? Sad, sad, sad. Well, I'm going to bed now. /edit


Just a heads up that I'll be manually importing some of my previous book reviews that were all over the place. I'll backdate the entries, so hopefully they won't bombard your F-lists *fingers crossed*

These past entries will be under the Books tag, I'm trying to centralize everything I've got here :D Sorry Tumblr, I like your nifty auto Quote-formats, but.... I don't like you THAT much :3
