Candy (our big boss) has this tracker list that she updates every month for everyone in the LT – it’s called the “10 Things” — 10 activities or actions each of us in the lead team would like to accomplish in a given span of time. We don’t share the details of the list, just the running progress every month. This is done to pressure everybody into some semblance of work-life balance. Swell idea, hehe.

Since I joined the LT towards the middle of the year, I have a prorated target for this year – only 4. And I’m proud to say that I have accomplished all of them! 4/4 = 100%! hehe.. only Kathy Reyes can rival that record

My 2007 list included (I am disclosing this publicly for the first time):
1. Attend the Hillsong Conference in Sydney Australia — accomplished July 2007

2. Start a healthy lifestyle — started doing this in August, and still
doing good now. I now eat right (most of the time, haha) and exercise
regularly. There are days though that I feel soooooo lazy to exercise
already (as Ailenne knows haha), but somehow I managed to still put up
with it regularly.

3. Splitting into two relatively more manageable/easy-to-accomplish tasks:
3a. Play keyboards in a big venue — accomplished this in Taipei last September 2007, at the Taiwan Conference
3b. Take a no-work-disturbance break — accomplished this in Tagaytay (All
Saint’s Day weekend) and Mactan Cebu (Thanksgiving weekend)

4. Again, splitting into two relatively more manageable/easy-to-accomplish tasks:
4a. Play the church organ in a wedding (Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin and Mendelssohn’s Wedding March) – accomplished last December 9, 2007 for Bro Chien’s wedding
4b. Have a private dinner at a posh restaurant – did this a couple of times already this year, the last of which was in Li Li.

I’ve also done a couple of other stuff outside of the list above, like starting this public blog for one. It’s a huge step for me, a major effort. So please be patient with me on this. I’ve also started songwriting again, and have completed at least one or two songs in the past 3 weeks. Plus, I have managed to join Robby at CCF just last Sunday.

Seeing that I have exhausted and finished everything I set out to do in the 07 list, I am planning to put up a new personal list for the ‘07 holidays through to first quarter ‘08. A few things that come to mind (but not yet final) are as such:
1. buy a new toy – most likely a new celfone, mid-to-pro range digital camera (am I ready for a DSLR? hehe), the Asus EeePC, a Breitling watch, or all of the above! (harhar).
2. move out of Eastwood and into Ortigas (this will most likely happen anyway, hehehe)
3. hire a trainer and hit the gym
4. fire somebody

Haha LOL! Just kidding on #4. Although past trends may seem to predict I’m on track.. still, joke lang yon.
