Some Things I Want to Do this 2022

**The first month of the year is about to end already, yet here I am again, sharing some of the things that I plan to do this 2022.** I have shared before that every first day of the year, I write down and have my own list of things that I want to do before the year ends, which is more like my "**goals**" that gives me a sense of fulfillment if I get to achieve them. These things are actually not that grand but I want to do them as a treat to myself because I think I deserve it too for working so hard all these years. **1. Have my Room Ceiling fixed** Last **August 2020**, I decided to build my own small house or just a spacious room that has a bathroom in it, a huge space for my study and working area, and just enough space for all of my things, just like a studio-type apartment but a simpler one. It's one of the projects that I want to build for myself because I want my room to become my safest place in the house, or like a sanctuary. I planned to make it like the ones I usually saw on Facebook before where every small space is utilized. But because of a lack of budget and prioritizing other important things, I didn't get to finish the project. Last year, around June, I planned again to continue the project, and that is to start putting up a ceiling so that it will not be hot during the summer. But again, the plan just ended up becoming a plan because I chose to just contribute the money I saved for paying up my parents' debt. So this year, I hope that I get to have the ceiling of my room fixed already since the wood material that is needed in putting up a ceiling is already readily available. I think that it will cost around $100 to $200 including the labor and other materials needed so it is also one of the things I'm saving up today. **2. Visit a Dental Clinic** Perhaps, this is one of the effects of watching **Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha** now. Well, I have been saying so many times that **HomeCha** is one of my favorite Korean Romantic Comedy dramas and it reminded me of taking good care of my teeth, because how am I going to enjoy eating food if my teeth are not in their best condition. I'm not saying that I have a problem with my teeth. They're all perfectly fine. However, I don't even remember when was the last time I visited a dental clinic and consulted a dentist. I think the last time was when I had my damaged tooth removed when I was still in Elementary. So this year, I decided to add it up to my list of goals and have my teeth checked up and have them cleaned up. Brushing my teeth three times a day is not enough because there will be some tartar or hard coating on the teeth that will not be removed by a toothbrush, and only teeth cleaning can have it removed. **3. Donate Blood to Red Cross** I plan to donate blood twice this year. Perhaps, around June and December. This is one of my main goals every year since I got to donate blood last January 2020 and just recently, around December 2021, because I just like the act of donating blood, which saves lives and is also beneficial to me as a donor. The other day, I read a post on Facebook asking her Facebook friends that they badly need type O blood. And my blood is also Type O so I immediately thought that I'm compatible to donate. Sadly, I was far from their location and I'm not yet allowed to donate. However, it would be nice to donate blood to someone who badly needs it because there will be a direct beneficiary of the blood donated. **4. Eat out once a month** When I was still in my first year in college, I used to eat out every other week or once a month as a reward for myself for working hard in my studies. I used to set aside a small amount for eating out in a restaurant or food house. And when the pandemic came, I didn't get to do it anymore since there are no near restaurants in our place that serve satisfying food. But this year, I added it to one of my goals so that I get motivated every month. It doesn't have to be that grand where I spend a huge amount for it. I just want to eat satisfying food once in a while, like burgers, fries, chicken wings, milk tea, and something like that. So these are the four things that I want to do this year. They're not that grand but they still require money to achieve so these are already enough reasons for me to continue hustling every day. **Albeit late, cheers to a memorable 2022!**
