I found it kind of late to evaluate the year that was, but I was intrigued and amused by the questions, so here goes. :)
1. What did you do in 2003 that you'd never done before? Work 'til late and all those team outings... never thought I would get a schedule like that, never thought people were as such. 2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Nope, I don't think I kept my resolutions last year (what fitness regimen?). I doubt if I'll make any this year. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Yah! One of the eight girls. I'm a proud (but delinquent) godmother to little Marco. 4. Did anyone close to you die? Umm... no, not anyone super close to me. 5. What countries did you visit? None yet. :( 6. What would you like to have in 2004 that you lacked in 2003? Self-confidence. I know I can get what I want but I worried too much about what others thought. Maybe I should really think about me this time. 7. What date from 2003 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? August 1, 2003! Hahaha! 8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? I would say getting over some traumas at work. There were some changes I was uncomfortable with, but I was able to pull through well enough. *whew* Runner up: trying and learning to manage my finances. Scary--and to be continued this year. 9. What was your biggest failure? Disappointing myself by not meeting my personal expectations, not moving on, making the past year sort of a stand still year. 10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Just the occasional cough/cold (that makes me sound like I have TB). 11. What was/were the best things you bought? This will be really shallow, but I love my sneakers. :) And my latest pair of jeans. :) 12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Sila Lizzie et al. All I can say is, kaya nila and I'm proud of them for that. 13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? The M***. Made life harder. :( 14. Where did most of your money go? Clothes, food, gimmicks. 15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Uh... days off? 16. What song will always remind you of 2003? "Dove" by Moony, "Waiting in Vain" by Annie Lennox, "Ignition" by R Kelly, "You First Believed" by Hoku 17. Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder? Neither ii. thinner or fatter? Fatter daw! Oh no! iii. richer or poorer? Neither 18. What do you wish you'd done more of? Wish I went out more. 19. What do you wish you'd done less of? Worry. Regret. 20. How Working! But when I got home my relatives were still there, so I was able to spend some time with them. 22. Did you fall in love in 2003? Goodness, no. 23. How many one-night stands? Nada. 24. What was your favorite TV program? Got hooked on Star World shows like "Charmed", "Cheers", "The Simpsons" and some Nick shows too--"As Told by Ginger". Loved "The Amazing Race". 25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? No. 26. What was the best book you read? "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. 27. What was your greatest musical discovery? House music, chillout, lounge? (I'm super ignorant about the genre of music, but I asked around and that's what they said). 28. What did you want and got? A lot of books this year. :) 30. What was your favorite film of this year? Oh no. You know what, I'm trying to remember what movie was great this year... can't remember! I have high expectations for Nemo, though, which I will watch one day soon. :) 31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Turned 23--spent it working. I can still remember my schedule then, 1-10p. How sad. :( People were asking why I didn't take a birthday leave then. Sayang expense report! 32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Getting a job I really, really want. 33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2003? Hahaha boring, sobra. Considering my office is a bit on the conservative side and they released a dress code that sounded strangely like what college used to have, my personal fashion concept was pretty unremarkable. Lately though, I want to have more color. :) Oh, and I am still with the dangling earrings and I started wearing sneakers again. 34. What/Who kept you sane? Old friends, the Internet, books. 35. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? Andy Roddick, Ken and Vic of F4. :) *guilty* 36. What political issue stirred you the most? FPJ running for president. Aargh! 37. Who did you miss? My old friends from college. :( 38. Who was the best new person you met? Ooh, that's a lot. Like my teammates--amazing people. 39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2003: No one can make things happen for you but you and a lot of prayers and faith. There is no way to go but up in every horrible instance. 40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: Like I said - It's been three years since I'm knocking on your door And still I can knock some more Ooh boy, ooh boy - is it crazy look, I wanna know now For I to knock some more You see In life I know that there is lots of grief But your love is my relief Actually... that didn't really sum up my year as I couldn't find the appropriate song, but for the most part of the year, I've been singing that song. Although this year, I haven't been singing it as much as I used to anymore. I've been deluding myself about some things again, so I decided to move on. Hay.
