Goodbye 2006!
I found this survey in Ala Paredes’ blog so I decided to answer it too… my year-end entry. I’m feeling all diva-ish. =)
What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
I was absent for one class so many times that both my hands wouldn’t be enough to count. Luckily, I passed that class. I went to Siquijor with my Barkada and I also went to my first two kick-ass debate tournaments – one national and one international. I think I’ve found my calling. =)
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I’m not really into making new years’ resolutions since I turned 12. That’s when I found out that I didn’t have what it took to keep them.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope. Most people close to me are my age.
Did anyone close to you die?
Not really close to me but yep, a lot of people I know died this year. Four students, one dean, and a few teachers – all from Silliman.
What countries did you visit?
None. But hopefully I get to visit two next year. =)
What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
Academic excellence? Haha. Direction in life, a good relationship with my Dad and a keke.
What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
My eighteenth birthday, definitely. Though I didn’t have a grand party, that day was bitchin’. Probably the whole Hibalag experience too…so that would be from July to August. Oh yeah, the Dish thing.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Finally having a heart-to-heart talk with my Mom and being able to open up to her completely.
What was your biggest failure?
My biggest failure? The incident when my carelessness almost destroyed everything I had. Fortunately, something good came out of it.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
No. I was healthy all year.
What was the best thing you bought?
I’m not sure. Probably, flip-flops. I started my whole slipper-revolution this year.
Whose behavior merited celebration?
Definitely not mine. Tracy McGrady! He’s not a ball-hog anymore. =)
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
I won’t tell. Secret na lang…
Where did most of your money go?
Debate. It’s actually not my money. It’s my mom’s. But if you mean my allowance, COFFEE and food and gas.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Debate. God, I’m such a boring, obsessed nerd. Cool.
What song(s) will always remind you of 2006?
Boom tarat tarat. I don’t mean that in a good way. Hawak Kamay by Yeng. It’s almost as overplayed as Pinoy Ako by Orange and Lemons. Again, not in a good way. Narda too.
Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? -- sadder. But I had lots of happy moments too.
ii. thinner or fatter? –- fatter. I should be on a diet.
iii. richer or poorer? –- still the same. My mother is as frugal as when I was seven.
What do you wish you'd done more?
Study.
What do you wish you'd done less of?
Fooling around, playing hooky and caring about sh*t that don’t really matter.
How many one-night stands?
Ngeek.
What was your favorite TV program?
Project Runway, Desperate Housewives, and That 70’s Show.
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Yep. I so won’t tell.
What was the best book you read?
Holding Out by Anne Faulk, Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.
What was your greatest musical discovery?
Hmm… I’m not into music this year eh. I don’t know what happened. I’m becoming musically-old.
What did you want and get?
More friends. Eccentric friends.
What was your favorite film of this year?
Rent. Hands down.
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
A small party. Eighteen.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
I should have gone to the NDC. God, what a loss.
How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006?
Plain. Too plain.
What kept you sane?
sleep, movies and books.
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Elliott Yamin of American Idol. I was so obsessed with him this year...
What political issue stirred you the most?
Probably the war in the Middle East. Apparently, they're still fighting. =(
Who did you miss?
Maia, Geliah and Jessamine. I miss them so much!
Who was the best new person you met?
Ooh, I met a lot of people this year. Kuya Razcel, probably. I never met someone like him. Boho-Environmentalist-Artist turned politician. Haha. The most eccentric of all. :)
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006:
When you’ve got nothing good to say, don’t speak. When you’ve got nothing good to offer, back off.
What was the nicest thing someone told you about yourself:
I don’t remember. It’s either I’m unappreciative or nobody told me anything. =)
The most touching experience you've had this year?
My heart-to-heart talk with my Mom.
What did you like most about yourself this year?
My debate career.
What did you hate most about yourself this year?
Getting into things I’m not supposed to.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
"There's only us, there's only this. Forget regret, or life is yours to miss. No other road, no other way. No day but today... - RENT soundtrack"
Was 2006 a good year for you?
I’m not sure. In some aspects, yes. In some, not really.
What was your favorite moment of the year?
Ahh, when I talked to my ultimate dream guy at Dish. I'm never going to forget that for as long as I live! =)
What was your least favorite moment of the year?
My confrontation with ykw.
Where were you when 2006 began?
Silliman Village, Piapi, Dumaguete City. Haha.
Who were you with?
Family.
Where will you be when 2006 ends?
Silliman Village, Piapi, Dumaguete City.
Who will you be with when 2006 ends?
Family.
Do you have a new years resolution for 2007?
Nope. But I will probably make a list of some I intend to keep.
What was your favorite month of 2006?
February.
Did you lose anybody close to you in 2006?
Jessamine. Well, I didn’t really lose her. She just left for the States.
What was your favorite record from 2006?
The APO cd... :)
How many concerts did you see in 2006?
Hmm… none. Dumaguete is such a loser when it comes to cool concerts.

Not much probably.

If you could go back in time to any moment of 2006 and change something, what would it be?
God, December 23. Won’t tell you why.
What are your plans for 2007?
Trying not to flunk, organizing the Cultural show during CBA week, and winning VUDC.
How are you different now that the year has ended?
I’m more informed. I guess I’m better.
What are your wishes for the new year?
I hope I don’t mess the year up big time. =)
What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?
