Since January is the Monday of the year, it can’t be helped that I am, too, tempted to make a ton of to-do list ahahaha.
After a full year of not posting here except for reblogging stuff, I thought I’ll come back here for more posting. Not super committed, though, I tell myself to not be burdened because posting here supposed to be fun and not like a chore! I will set my expectation low for now.
But it doesn’t mean that starting easy hinders me to wanting to do things, so for now:
I really want to pick up reading and writing long review again. I’ve done some short book reviews in my instagram, but sometimes I have a lot of things to say, and cramming them into ten slides feels….too much. Hopefully, I can alternate between posting long reviews for books that I can’t get enough in my blog again, and posting short ones in instagram.
Also, I need to actually read every paperbacks that I have. So, no buying unnecessary books for now!!!
I kinda gave up in learning Mandarin by myself? LMAO but I find it hard to concentrate by myself, so I definitely need to enroll in a class if I want to pursue Mandarin further. I have several options in mind, and I might need to look into my budget this year if I really want to get it.
HOWEVER, I think I want to self-learning Korean as the alternative?? It helps so much that I can read hangeul already ahaha so I can just dive into the stuff. Besides, as an avid enjoyer of South Korean entertainment since my school days, I think I already have the abstract basics of…of the Korean language... yeah. I have looked into the resources list people have posted here, and I might hunt a new notebook soon :3
For work-related stuff, I really need to upgrade my work-related skills. I write for work and all these usage of AI is very disheartening, but sadly I can’t deny the temptation of its usage, especially for people who aren’t in the creative industry. What can I do for now is to upskill myself, keep learning, and find out ways to make myself relevant.
And…yeah. That’s that. I wonder how many in this list that I can cross out at the end of 2025. Hopefully one or two! And I hope everyone reading this also get to fulfill their to-do lists at the end of this year later 😌
