Alright I am really trying to meet my new year resolution this year. First I started looking for a job related in media field, and I kinda got my foot in as well, and by going to the job, I will have to wake up early and go to bed early, which contributed to my other resolution. So, yeah, I am doing it.
As for exercising, we went hiking once over the weekend, my knee was killing me again, I might have to see a doc about it, or get a eliptical training machine. I already know it's sports injury and a sign of arthritis, so it's probably more realistic to get a training machine that doesn't hurt my knee instead of going to several docs and getting an answer of "yeah you'd better be careful while exercising, that's all we can tell you."
For photography, I am making some progress too, at least I think so. we didn't get to setup a studio yet, even though I already registered a domain for it. It's not a "must" but just something nice to have, that's why we're not so aggressive about getting our own studio name. We'll see how it goes.
So, back to the beginning of this post, I do have some thoughts about job hunting, and I'll share it in my next post.

2008 Resolution
Alright after reviewing my 2007 resolution, here comes my 2008 resolution. Honestly, I haven't really thought all the way through, so I'll just write down what i have right now, and come back to edit it later.
1. Take photography as serious business: more uploading to iStock, studying skills and experimenting, setup a studio, get a website and take some cases maybe. iStock is the first step, but I am hoping we can get some realy costumers in a near future.
2. Continue my diary and two books a month: i am doing it now. for some reason i could really calm down to read recently, therefore i haven't even catched up with the January quota yet...
3. Get a job in media field: well, if you know me, then you know why i am having this as a new year resolution.
4. Get up earlier and go to bed earlier; exercise more: this is actually a darn difficult one... it's raining outside, don't make me go outdoors... Eddie is considering to get a treadmill or elliptical training machine. i think we'll make the purchase as soon as the stock market goes up more.
that's about what i can think of right now. quite a lot to do, i would say. i'll see how it goes and maybe i'll do another review for these resolutions next year. Good luck to me!

2008 Resolution (2007 review)
I should first evaluate if I achieved my goals for last year.
1. Write diary: yes i did and continuing doing even now. i wrote almost everyday, except days i was too tired or forgot to bring a pen into camping tent.
2. Read two books each month: well, almost made it. I spent too much time playing since Nov, therefore I didn't meet the quota during the last two months of 2007. The rest were ok, I also tried to read couple English novels.
3. Take Photoshop exam: didn't make it at all. two reason: first, not until i made this resolution that i realize photoshop is releasing new version, of course i won't be able to take it since i am not familiar with the new one at all. second, i changed my mind and thinking a real photoshop expert doesn't need the certificate to prove anything. portfolio talks.
4. Study Japanese: I honestly totally didn't remember why i had this thought. right now i am actually not too into Japanese at all...
5. Visiting Taiwan and Beijing: this can't really be counted as new year resolution, but i included it and really made it. It's fun trip, made me think a lot and made me grew older. well, i mean, mature.
