My 2012 Vision Board

7:46 PM, Sunday, January 15, 2012 ▸
I finally finished the vision board for my room! ...well, actually, I think it's more of like a 3-in-1 board since it doesn't only include my 'visions/dreams', but as well as my goals, and reminders for this year.


This has actually been a first for me, and I must say... it was fun! After three hours of flipping and cutting through old magazines, I managed to collect all of the snippets that I wanted to put up. In the end, I'm really happy with how my vision/dream board turned out to be.

Actually, in my room, my vision 'board' only fills half of the cork board that I've bought days ago, since the other half would be for my other notes and clippings that I just want to simply put up there.


One awesome thing that I did for my vision board is that, I arranged all pictures by importance: so the top-most ones would be my 'more prioritized' dreams. And as you might have noticed, the 'catching my dream guy' is at the bottom and that's simply because... though I am hopeful for love and yet another relationship, it wouldn't be the center of my 'dreams' for this year because a part of me still wants a lot more 'me' time. And it's not like I'm afraid of commitment either, but right now, I'm just not up for it. Besides, I plan to focus a whole lot more on my health, my career, and my wardrobe. LOL.

And oh, I've wanted to put 'traveling' at the top! But I have situated it at the bottom of the pile because first, I'd need to save—ta-dah!—money! So yes, my vision board is pretty organized and realistic. Haha! Also, I have already been to Boracay and Hong Kong but I just wanted to go back there (again) to make better memories. (Haha! Personal reasons!)

So, how about you guys, do you have your own vision board yet? If not, I suggest that you make one. Besides, a lot of people say that putting one up helps you visualize your dreams more and then... without you realizing it, they become true bit by bit since you would almost be reminded everyday of the things that you want to do or achieve.

All in all... Let's have a rocking year!
(And hope it's not an apocalyptic year like how a lot of people are saying! HAHA Kidding!)

NICE! Actually ako rin I made a vision board a couple of months ago, as in nagkatotoo, seriously. I guess kakatingin ko everyday, I didn't notice that they came true. Hehe! I will make a new one to continue. Kakaexcite!

OMG. Same here din I want to travel! Let's be travel buddies!!! :)

Awww! Inspiring! I want to make one tuloy. HAnggang blog page lang yung dreams ko, mas maganda nga pag makikita mo siya everyday noh? Hmmm? Next project? Maybe! I also wanna travel, write, blog, and update my wardrobe. And the lovelife is also at the bottom of the pile. Hmm. Kinda complicated. Besides, I Just rekindled the passion for living months ago and I am so enjoying the ME time. *apir*

# | Aileen A. said...

DO MAKE ONE! Haha! And blog about it ;)

A girl can never have too much right? Haha, it feels like I'm living the 'Eat, Pray, Love' story--less the travelling part (but soon! I hope!) :D And really? Wait since we just kind of 'know' each other, what do you been by rekindled? Haha, but anyway, for me, I just broke up with my ex last February and well it feels like long ago for me already but yes, I agree that I love all the 'me' time that I am getting. :)) I realized that I have really forgotten myself these past 3 years. XD *apir!*

# | Aileen A. said...

WAIT. What 'vision' ba yun?? WAAA! Nakaka-excite! If anything on my vision board comes true, I hope the money part comes first. LOL! :)) Woot! Then, would it be right for me to say... congratulations? :P

SHET. GAME!!!!! Let's be travel buddies! I've been itching to travel lately!

This is really nice! I've always wanted to make a vision board for myself too, but it ends up stuck in my head because I'm super lazy :( The closest thing I made was a vision page on my BDJ planner back in 2009. But I share most of your aspirations for this year.. :D Hopefully we'll be able to achieve these goals. Especially the money, beauty and travel parts.. XD

# | Josine Baluyot said...

Vision board, dream board, treasure map.. iba-iba yung tawag but they all have the same concept. :) Game! Let's plan where to go hahaha! OMG sorry naeexcite talaga ako :)) Tour mo din pala ako sa Batanes. So far, yan yung nasa top ng list ko na malapit and achievable. Haha! Pati Hongkong.

# | Tin | The Average Jane said...

I use a list instead of a vision board.  I like seeing an item crossed out when it's done.  The OC in me.  Hehehe!

Pero like you, I also arrange and separate them by importance.  I separate the long-term and short term goals too.  So I have a list of things I want to achieve this year and a list I'll be achieving in the years to come.  Hehehe!  =)

# | Aileen A. said...

Speaking of Batanes, ang tagal ko nang di bumalik dun :( So shoot... GAME AKO! XD

Ask ko lang though, what dream was that that you achieved?

# | Aileen A. said...

HAHA! The same happened to me; it's only this year that I made it a point to really make it happen already. The difference between us though is that I didn't even tried filling up that vision page in my BDJ planner because I felt lazy. LOL. So I'm really glad that I managed to do this.

I hope so that we could achieve it--if not all! XD Do post an entry if you have managed to make one :)

# | Aileen A. said...

In my case, that list is my 'bucket list' which is a different thing. Haha! I'm OC too! Ako pa nga, not only by importance and long-term/short-term yung list kong yun but also by category din! :)))

But my OC friends told me to also make a vision board already because they said that it really helps to visualize your goals. (Have you read the book "Secret"?)

# | Gellie Abogado said...

Oh my. *Envy* wanna make one too. Hope I can have the time to do so. :)

# | kat centeno said...

Awesome board! Yeah, let's have a rocking year!

# | nuelene said...

I will make one after I got my dream job. Hehe.

# | Allie Principe said...

I love your vision board! I wish I had more magazines to cut up too haha :) It's funny, I was just planning to make a post about my vision/inspiration/everything else board! 

# | Aileen A. said...

I had a hard time blocking off one weekend just to make this! :)) Good luck! Haha kidding aside, do post about it when you do. I would love to check out what you've come up with :)

# | Aileen A. said...

YES!!! Let's own 2012! :D

# | Aileen A. said...

Why not make one even if you don't have your dream job? XD Or i mean, post images of your dream job on the vision board! Haha, I think that would help heaps. ;)

# | Aileen A. said...

Thank you Allie! :)

I was actually going to sell off my back issues, but when I learned that they're just going to cost P5 each, I decided to just keep 'em, let go and let it rip. Haha, I'll wait for your post then ;)

# | nuelene said...

Actually, I already made a bucket list for 2012. But I need money to make them come true. :) One week from now, I think I have my dream job na. :D :D :D

# | Aileen A. said...

WOOT! That's nice to hear! :) Go, girl!
