I am about to turn 28. Last year when I was turning 27 I posted 27 goals for myself for the next year of my life. I am sad to say I failed most of them :( I did go to the beach (not too many times though)....got my drivers license.....studied Japanese (but not enough)....I flossed for a while.....I did read a lot......I got a pet!.....and I visited a couple of countries....and I did meet a lot of new friends....

Otherwise I have failed :( So this year I am not doing goals. It is pointless, I don't have enough discipline to accomplish anything.

On another note, I lost my camera (again) so that is why I haven't updated this blog in a long time. So, I will try, but I am not buying a new camera for a while. I just lose them, so it is a waste.
