My New Year's resolutions.
I've not thought of my new year's resolution yet.
First of all, I have to spend my time on my second baby who is expected on Feb.
Second one is English. I'm already brushing up on my English with 입트영, GMP on radio. I'm thinking about signing up for another online lecture which is supported by my company.
Third one is to exercise on a regular basis. I have to make it habit to go to the gym every day.
