FN Blog - Seven heads are better than one!

Stole this from a friend (who’s “always happy”)…

What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Attend an Indian wedding!

Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn’t really make resolutions, but I made some for this year.

No, thankfully.

What countries did you visit?
Indonesia, Singapore

What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
More free time!

What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
December 28–my birthday! My mom and my brother threw me a party. Awww. More on that in a future post.

What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Paying for my own trips. Learning to like going to the gym! Being in the Urdaneta Open Mythical 6! Haha.

What was your biggest failure?
Hmmm…not being able to pursue my passion? I didn’t dance much this year

Did you suffer illness or injury?
Minor lang–I pulled a hamstring and it hurt for a couple of weeks.

What was the best thing you bought?
A camera!

Whose behavior merited celebration?
A former co-worker who decided to chase after her dream.

Whose behavior appalled you and made you depressed?
Depressed? Exag. But I was appalled by some boys who were bastos (not to me naman, but still it was kind of sickening to witness).

Where did most of your money go?
Traveling and food! And a camera, a phone, a…yikes.

What did you get really, really, really excited about?
The trip to Bora with my girls. It wasn’t just because it was my first time to go to Bora with them, but also because I was just so stressed in the weeks leading up to that trip.

What song will always remind you of 2007?
Irreplaceable (I know, it was released late 06 but anyway…), Apologize because it was stuck in our heads in Bora, Beautiful Girls because it was playing in every damn place you could think of. (Napapaindak naman ako. Hahaha.)

Compared to this time last year, are you: i. happier or sadder? Happier ii. thinner or fatter? Thinner! I really put on weight this time last year! I think my metabolism’s faster now so I didn’t gain as much even with all the wanton eating. Hard work really does pay off! iii. richer or poorer? Richer! Which is surprising considering all my expenses. But yay!

What do you wish you’d done more of?
Danced more. Cooked more. Baked more.

Sleep! (Well, not really. I enjoyed every indulgent minute!)

What did you want and get?
A camera.

What did you want and not get?

Favorite film of this year?
300!!! And no, it had nothing to do with a screen full of pandesal! I just thought it was really entertaining. I also loved Stranger than Fiction.

More on this in a succeeding post. And that’s not a question you ask a lady. Hahaha. Just kidding. I’m 28 and I’m loving it!

What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
If I could have danced with the other alumnae again at half time, that would’ve been one for the books.

“Tweeeeet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet tweeeeeeet…Don’t worry, be happy!” (And for the record, I can’t whistle to save my life.)
