In the midst of looking for mazuonas, I decided to spend the day with myself somewhere else other than my house. It was a nice change. Just me, my notebook, my coffee (and cheesecake!) and the comforting silence.
No one was in the cafe except for a couple and a guy reading a book. That was good, I guess.
I was writing the goals for my fashion blog, when I stopped and realized that I didn't write my predictions for this year. You see, every year I write predictions OTH style instead of resolutions at the beginning of each year, specifically during the first hour. Resolutions are quite overrated, don't you think?
Sometimes they come true. Sometimes they do not. Honestly, I don't really work to get them. They're just something I have to remind myself what I want to achieve. It's like a 'the end justifies the means' kind of thing. Mainly it's for fun. But I do it because it's familiar. It's a tradition. And I find that keeping traditions help you to keep yourself. Because there are some things that feels good when you know that they don't change. And God knows how badly I need something constant in my life.
Anyway, so for this year, I've written down the following predictions (in no particular order):
1. This year, I will be fearless.
2. ..The Mazuona will be known.
3. ..I will do better.
4. ..I will find new, real and true friends.
5. ..I will have a closer relationship with my family.
6. ..I will lose weight.
7. ..I will forgive. Or at least, learn how to.
8. ..I will get my tattoo(s). :P
9. ..I will be inspired/surround myself with inspiration.
10. ..I will inspire.
11. ..I will fall in love. :-)
And because of item no. 8, we move on to our next list, the tattoo(s) that I will probably get in my whole lifetime:
1. Believe- on my right wrist (in cursive/script) If I don't get the rest, at least let me have this.
2. She believed she could so she did. - left shoulder blade (in cursive/script)
3. Swim - left wrist (in cursive/script) based upon my favorite Jack's Mannequin song, Swim
4. The journey is the destination. - left forearm (in cursive/script) favorite OTH quote ever
5. the mazuona - I still don't know where
6. Fearless - I still don't know where
7. Molnija (russian word, lightning in english) mark- nape for every Strigoi kill
8. Zveda (russian word, star in english)- nape for every battle
9. Promise mark - nape for being a promised guardian
*7, 8, and 9 are based upon the marks in Vampire Academy. I will have these done like Rose's (my favorite character). Don't be fooled by the book title. It's not your ordinary vamp book. You actually won't notice that it is, because it's real. The feelings, the plot, the characters are real.
So, basically in ten years, I will be covered with these tattoos from head to toe. I still have a lot in mind, but I just don't know where to put them. But before I even worry about that, I still have to get my parents to agree. I don't really know why I have this tattoo 'obsession'. I just know that the reason why I wanted to get the word Believe on my right wrist is because I want to be reminded to believe at all times. To have faith when everything seems so hopeless. So that whenever I reach a point where I want to give up, I would go on.
And I guess that goes the same way with the other tattoos. They're reminders of what I've been through. Like battle scars. And to remind me what to do. Like stars that light the way. Mire las estrellas. They're for good reasons.
I think I may have just turned myself into a reminder board. Maybe I should just get one, eh? Nah. Tattoos are better and more cool. Oh, aside from getting my parents' permission, I also said that I will only get them if I donate blood first. Once you get yourself inked, you won't be able to give blood anymore. I feel like I would be more worthy if I saved a life first. So, yeah. Parents' permission and blood donation. Piece of cake?
I would have to admit though, I'm scared of blood. It makes me faint..err squeamish. But to overcome that fear would be an achievement which gives me all the more reason to do it.
Before I forget, Happy New Year, dear reader! I know it's late, but better late than never.
“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I
hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and
don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only
you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”
— Neil Gaiman
This will always be my new year wish for everyone. Have a great year!
