Another year, another resolution post. Last year I had a few resolutions that did not come true . This year I want to achieve the following:

• Increase the number of visits to the gym (not only play football)
• Re-start my Russian classes (My vocabulary is not improving neither is my grammar)
• Visit home in Portugal more often
• Visit a few Asian countries
• Post more in my blog

I wish you all a happy 2009
