Happy new year, folks!
What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Party like there's no tomorrow. Got a job. Lost a job.
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
What resolution? Didn't have any, I think.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Hmm, no.
Did anyone close to you die?
My Brittany dog died.

Zilch.
What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
It's cliche but I would really like to have peace of mind this coming year.
What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
My graduation (!), my first day of work, the day JB came back, and so on. I had an eventful year.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Graduating on time, baby! And yeah, having and losing a job in the same year. That was fun.
What was your biggest failure?
You know when the HR people ask you about your future plans and such? When I was in interviews, I said that I would take up law and be a lawyer. And THAT WAS REALLY STUPID. That would make them think that I would leave the company so better not hire me.

Colds that last for weeks and coughs that scratch my throat I can taste blood in my mouth.
What was the best thing you bought?
Best thing? THE FRIDGE! And my knee-high black boots.
Where did most of your money go?
Clothes, food, fare, clothes, food, fare, nonsensical things.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
I got really excited about JB being back here in Manila. And of course, the graduation after four long years of torture in school. I suppose I also got excited about my first day of work. Haha. Going to the Rihanna/Chris Brown concert was pretty, exciting too.
What song(s) will always remind you of 2008?
Low! Seriously, it was everywhere!
Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Sadder, happier, sadder, happier. This year has been an emotional roller coaster ride for me.
ii. thinner or fatter? Thinner and then I started working and then I wasn't able to go to the gym as much as I wanted to. So yeah, I got fatter.
iii. richer or poorer? Richer. I got a job.

What's one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Getting into Procter and Gamble.

If you could go back in time to any moment of 2008 and change something, what would it be?
I want to go back and change things if given the chance, but I'm too afraid of the consequences it will bring. Besides, I don't want to interfere with time.
What are your plans for 2009?
Be a better person, I guess. Haha.
How are you different now that the year has ended?
I'm more cautious but still assertive. I know what I want now and I'll do everything to achieve that.
What are your wishes for the new year?
I hope everyone will have a great time this year. ;)
It's raining. Last Christmas, it was raining too. Our media noche is unbelievable. We have so much food now. The songs on the radio are making me dance. I WANT TO PARTY ON FRIDAY! Wuhoo!
