My New Year’s resolution? Well it’s quite simple, you see. It involves a bit of traveling. Well, that’s my personal resolution for 2013. I am hoping to do a little more traveling before really settling down. This year, I am trying to plan at least one big trip (a final hurrah, if you will), possibly to one of these places:
1. LONDON! Yes, yes. I would indeed love to visit this rich city, one which I have never visited before. I have very much professed my longing desire to visit this city to my husband, but he has always been hesitant to travel to London. Instead, he prefers to travel to Asia (i.e. China &/or Japan) mostly to visit close friends & relatives. I think this year may be the right time for us…
2. RIO DE JANEIRO… For a number of years, I have been contemplating the idea of visiting this bright city, the foundation of my passion for Bossa Nova music. What solidified my lust to travel to Rio? Why, the animated movie RIO of course! That movie really painted an irresistible panoramic view of the city I long to visit someday… Maybe I could lay on the beach & pretend that I am that girl from Ipanema.
3. My husband & I have been toying with the possibility of traveling back to Japan again. However, this time, we would like to visit other cities besides Tokyo. I’ve visited Kyoto once before & would love to visit there again with my husband. Oh the possibilities! 2013, we’ll just have to wait & see.
4. Insert obligatory Breakfast at Tiffany’s photo here. Yep. It’s New York City. My husband’s best friend, Peter, shares a birthday with me. (His birthday is the day before mine.) We had some grand scheme to go to New York for our birthday(s) this year as a group until Peter & his newly wedded bride recently bought their first home & won’t be able to go. But…the show must go on, & I am currently trying to convince my husband to take me back to his old neighborhood in Manhattan. (I felt so cheated when I got severely ill on my first trip to NYC & was holed up in the hotel room for 3 days straight.)
2013 is a new year…a time to start fresh. Unfortunately, things have already gotten off to a rocky start. We will be moving out of our apartment at the end of this month (due to an insane rent hike & some specific family matters), & we will be moving into my parents’ house. We are not looking at this as a setback, but more like a step forward. Think positively. I guess you can say that’s one New Year’s resolution/goal that’s already been met. Cheers!
