It’s still in the early 2008 and I’m still excited to read my 101 list every day and plan what and how to do next.

FYI, the very first thing I accomplished from my 101 list is #87.

About a year ago (31 December 2006), I decided to write a letter to myself (inserted inside a cute card - to motivate me more). What did I write, you might wonder. Things that I hoped and believed I would achieve during 2007 - getting a full scholarship to getting my master’s degree was the focal content.

You know, I laughed a little after reading the letter, comprehending that my life right after composing that letter headed to a very different path from I used to think about. And FYI again, I am no longer obsessed with the scholarship hunting thing - at least not at present.

What I’m glad of is that I didn’t feel any burden reading the letter - I mean, with the fact that my real story is way sort of different from the one stipulated on the letter. Though the real story now has never been a part of my dream, yet one thing that the letter is right - about Gorgeous Inspirations. I did manage to start the website and it still exists now ( BIG yay for me ).

Yes, another celebration (the more I’m conscious that I’m at present participating in Gorgeous Campaign 2008, in which I created by myself, the more I’m conscious that there’s more in life to celebrate) - this time was the eco-friendly one.

I don’t remember since when, but I’ve been trying (pretty) hard to be more eco-conscious (what a big change in me!). I notice that I must widen my horizon and knowledge more on this matter. I even signed up on Nature Conservancy page and subscribed to regular free newsletter from Ideal Bite - both are websites concerning environmental issues (I really do recommend those two pages for you).

So two days ago, I went shopping to the biggest market in town, solo. Not only did I buy several essential goods I needed, but also surveyed some other goods that I would buy later only if that meant supporting the preservation of Mother Earth. I particularly checked cautiously on plastic materials and a few light bulbs.

About an hour exploring (almost) all of the aisles (I avoided the bakery aisles - and yes, I did shop for just about an hour, as I am no shopaholic), I was drowned in my own seriousness (and consciousness as well, for that matter) of (trying) to living green. And I’m so very happy that I did (and still do) have the awareness kind of thing. I believe it’s a good thing - which is worth to celebrate.

And how did I celebrate it, folks? Smiled on my way home

Yes, let us all celebrate our finally-awaken eco-conscious state in us.
