About new beginning: be part of it

Well well well... guess who's back again! As most of the bloggers I'm not going to apologize for not posting for a quite long time. Because (!) I have a reason for that.
As you know from my last post (end of September) I decided to dedicate one more year for Karachi, Pakistan. Since that decision my life was little bit messed up: a) traveling back home to Lithuania, b) flying back to Karachi with small adventures in Istanbul, c) business trip to Dubai, d) finally settling down in Karachi and working your ass of for better results.
It might sound strange, but I'm one of those people who don't really like traveling. Sometimes I write traveling as my hobbies in various applications just to impress people with my open mind-ness. True. The life "in luggage" is hell for me.
Besides changes in my career and living place (honestly, I expected today be employed in one of the successful companies in Lithuania) I had to say goodbye to few people who were living with me since very beginning. From the moment they left Karachi I realized that: "Oh f...k, I'm here already one year!".
I don't want to make this blog entry as a report "what's new in Andrius life", but just to give you an overview about my current situation.

So back to basics: mentally I'm prepared to stay for another year in Karachi and go through the same cycle: work, home, dinner at home or/and going out, meet new interns, goodbye to old interns and etc.
The main difference is that this year I committed to myself few things which I skipped last year. Yeah yeah - know: as an AIESEC'er I had to set expectations, goals and etc. - didn't work as I was too much concentrated about my job (I didn't have that much time and opportunity to travel around and get to know country). So this year I promised myself that I will push this environment closer to my needs.
First thing I need to do - meet more foreigners (sorry, but there are only few Pakistanis with whom I can really build meaningful conversation) and expand social circle. Secondary, I will work more on my eating habits (less and less fast food). And finally I will make sure that sport and exercises will be my regular activity. Can't promise attendance in sport gym, but I have ideas how can I use my surrounding for keeping "shape" (girls, you know what I mean!).
Dear reader, you just had an honor to be witness of my commitments to myself. Feel free to criticize, comment, use psychological pressure and keep reminding me about it. You are part of my commitment... Cha!

I also have good news for you. Very soon (so soon, that I almost can smell it) I'm going to get a brand new smart phone (brand name and model is unknown yet). So it means that I will be able to shoot you with: mini, smart, funny, shocking, deep and philosophical blog post. Sounds fair? Think so...

That's all for now.
