What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before? Wear glasses. I finally gave in and got myself eyeglasses! I have forever been denial about my eyesight, but I had to give in for the renewal of my driver's license. I found out I am near sighted. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Nope, even if I said last year I would, I didn't make any. Oh, alright, something I really should remind myself to do is to pray regularly and in a good way. Instead of just the usual prayers, but learn to listen and talk to Him. And thank Him too! I know I have always been asking a very frustrated "why" for all the things that have happened in my life instead of accepting and having more faith. Did anyone close to you give birth? One of my teammates at work, Falsetto Jen. Did anyone close to you die? Yes. What countries did you visit? Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010? TRUE LOVE!!! As my really good friends and travel buddies Tessa and Jen say and wish and hope for, the new year should bring us (romantic, true) love! More travel and better opportunities as well! What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? October 30, 2010. This was our second and only full day in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The day started with our guide and driver picking us up early at the hotel and going to so many temples (Angkor Wat was only one of the many!). It was a very exhausting day, but we didn't feel it because the temples were just so breath taking and the experience was just amazing. Loved that day and we can still never get over it.  We hope to see you again real soon, Siem Reap! What was your biggest achievement of the year? No, I don't think I have conquered any big fear that would merit an achievement. What was your biggest failure? A lot. I could do worse pala than the previous year. In all aspects of my life, I think. Did you suffer illness or injury? Yes. I was sick for five days in February due to an infection. I had to take loads of antibiotics and stayed in bed with fever. It was not fun. But no major cough and cold! Good job, me! Berocca is my new found friend. What was the best thing you bought? The trip to Indochina! I also invested in my travelling carry-on bag too. I think it's worth it! Going to be my pang harabas travelling bag (literally dragged it up and down the temple steps in Bahkeng [sp?] Hill). Claiming it that I'll be travelling out of the country more! ;) Whose behavior merited celebration? Lot of my friends'. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Mine. So I keep paying for the consequences until now. Where did most of your money go? Indochina trip and car maintenance. Aside from that, books and coffee. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Visiting Cambodia! We really built our excitement for Cambodia from Vietnam. Haha! What song(s) will always remind you of 2010? Firework by Katy Perry Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars OMG by Usher Taking Chances, True Colors by Glee cast Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder? Sadder. ii. thinner or fatter? Thinner daw! People (mom, hair stylist, etc) have commented I am so thin, but I think I look the same. iii. richer or poorer? Financially poorer. Started the year with car expenses and it held through the year. I will never forget that week I paid for my trip and bought four new tires! On the same day! Stress. Let's hope the new year will be better financially! What do you wish you'd done more? Less manang. What do you wish you'd done less of? Stressing myself unnecessarily. How many one-night stands? None. Did you fall in love in 2010? With someone, no. With the world after travelling, yes. :) What was your favorite TV program? Glee kept me sane when I was at home, sick. I couldn't keep up, though, when it came to the following season because of my schedule. Waiting for the season to end so that I can watch it straight. I also enjoyed How I Met Your Mother --- I do not know what season is in the house. So I keep watching that over and over. Hehe. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Yes. I said it last year. Still the same nagging feeling, this time multiplied by three. It's just exhausting being angry at these people and yourself because you're letting yourself being affected. Yes, it still brings out the worst in me: petty, jealous, bratty --- things I don't like about myself. What was the best book you read? I was going to say The Hunger Games Trilogy which I only began reading this year. It was good although the last book was confuzzling for me. This was usurped by the Millennium Trilogy which I got for Christmas from P! Oh my gosh, it's unputdownable but I seriously needed a light book after going through the second book. I discovered Emily Giffin this year too and I really like the way she writes. What was your greatest musical discovery? Katy Perry! I love her, I think she is absolutely gorgeous. What did you want and get? Travel this year. :) Justin Timberlake, live last March. What was your favorite film of this year? The Social Network! I also liked Toy Story 3 very much. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? My closest friends know I What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Love? Ahaha! But even more so, some opprtunities I missed. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010? Errr boring? Hehe. I need a revamp (yes I have been saying this for two years!). This time, it's serious! So shabby already! What kept you sane? My friends, coffee breaks. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? I have a crush on Ryan Reynolds, Matthew Morrison. :))))) What political issue stirred you the most? It was the National Elections! Not that it stirred me so much, but interesting candidates and I did vote for someone I really felt could make a difference. Too bad he didn't win and I don't know what he's up to now. Who did you miss? My college friends! I hardly saw them all year. Who was the best new person you met? My LD friends and group! Our Thai hosts! They are love. ♥ Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010: To quote from my LD experience, being strong means letting go to God. Every time I remember this from Sunday morning, I can't help but cry. What was the nicest thing someone told you about yourself: Not just a "nicest thing," but the love and support of my friends. The most touching experience you've had this year? I can think of two. One, the afore-mentioned moment of support from my friends. I still keep their SMS to me and it's super touching to remember. Two, my LD experience. Even if I don't see my group as much as I want to, I had the nicest time sharing myself and learning from them. What did you like most about yourself this year? Ahhh the effort to be happier? What did you hate most about yourself this year? I still get so jealous and angry easily and my patience wore out to the wrong people. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: This question never fails to stump me every year! Why do I even include it? Haha! Was 2010 a good year for you? 50-50, not so good. What was your favorite moment of the year? Indochina trip days --- super fun bonding moments. Last night in BKK at the Cafe. :) LD and the fire. ;) My birthday! What was your least favorite moment of the year? When I became my petty self, getting jealous and getting frustrated with my own struggles. :( Where were you when 2010 began? Home. Who were you with? Immediate family. Where will you be when 2010 ends? Home. Who will you be with when 2010 ends? Home. How many concerts did you see in 2010? I think one only? Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake! Of course, cannot pass up the chance of seeing JT and hearing Sexyback live! :) Hehe I wished for it ages ago somewhere on this blog and it happened! Must declare more things to the universe! ;) Did you drink a lot of alchohol in 2010? Yes, more than my usual! Funny no? There was time, before and after my birthday, I'd be out every Friday night! Malor was kidding me, just because of my birthday, I've become a drinker! Haha! Not to mention the "raging" Welcome Dinner, etc.! Fun. Do a lot of drugs in 2010? Nope. You do anything you are ashamed of this year? Yep. How much money did you spend in 2010? Rather not say and remember, but it was a lot. Time to save! Or at least be more conscious of what I spend on. What was your proudest moment of 2010? Gahhh... another stumping question. I think when I decided to let go of the things I couldn't change, albeit slowly. What was your most embarrassing moment of 2010? Something about certain stuff I did... basta, it's a wah. If you could go back in time to any moment of 2010 and change something, what would it be? Can we start the year over? :P So many things --- little things that I should have done differently. What are your plans for 2011? Do my work well, travel more, have more fun, let go, buy new clothes. :P How are you different now that the year has ended? A little more settled and accepting of where I am now. What are your wishes for the new year? I wish that the new year would bring us lots of love, friendship, travel, contentment and happiness. Labels: life, new year, survey
