2013 Begins

I'm 6 days late on the whole "New Year" thing but well, it's better late than never, they say.

So it's 2013 already and I'd like to continue making my life a better one. This journey started around November 2011 actually when I first started looking for a new job and finally made the switch in late April 2012 to my present company. And so, since then I've been trying to make my life more meaningful and balanced with the newfound time and energy (albeit less income).

More than 8 months since, there are severely work-in-progress projects, some that never really took off, and some that just don't seem to be on the right track. I used to blog, in what feels like a previous lifetime, about trivialities as a then emotional and childish self. Only 2 years shy of being into my 30's, I'm too old for that nonsense and this blog instead shall serve as a record and reminder to myself of my endeavours and results.

All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. 
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

With that, my life from henceforth will be a series of "experiments" in finance (ie. actually starting to invest and have proper savings), fitness (ie. finally run a marathon, some full body strength), sartorial pursuit (ie. get rid of unflattering and inappropriate clothes and replace with the right ones), social life (ie. strengthen old ties and create meaningful new ones and find a life partner) and education (ie. learn a new language? MBA?).

Alea iacta est.
