Just came back from traveling all around Tāmaki Makaurau.
A treasure trove of a place!
 
& As it's the new Gregorian year,
Rather than having rubbish resolutions, 
i think i’d rather carry over existing good practice from before and maintain them this year:

1. would be  -
   continually modify my own reactions / behaviours:
   I am a very intuitive as well as quickly judgemental person (re: vibes & appearance).
   There are a lot of people who i just get what they’re all about in a short amount of time.
   The ones that are clearly pompous, self-centred / selfish are the ones that repel me the most.
   I genuinely dislike them and nothing can change my mind.
   This often ends up with me feeling annoyed or bugged by their daily words/actions.
   But truthfully, I know what works:
   If I don’t like them, why piss myself off about them?
   No response is the best response.
   Indifference is gold.
   Ignore and walk away, mildly smile when confronted even if I don’t mean it at all.
   
   
2. i always keep my words,
   unless situations literally cannot allow me to.
   This is Al’s good old wisdom,
   It is what it is, unless it’s not. 😀
   
   
3. Keep learning those languages,
   however slow it may progress. Keep learning.
   Because English is so low-key not-cool.
   Whereas others are so rich & colorful.
   
   
4. & Stuff working out!
   ​Walking around while traveling in Japan is the best healthy activity.
