got this off mickeroo's blog... i was supposed to write about where my year went.. re-count the major things that happened to me per month... but i dont have my calendar with me right now and this is so much more fun to answer... !
1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done?
major road trip for the long weekend with pedi and ainee. :) again, again, again!!!!
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
i dont remember making any resolutions last year... if i did, i guess i didnt keep them. this year, im still undecided if im making any.... and which ones to make, if ever. hahaha. crammer.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
hmm... well, my officemate did, and a good college friend. :)
4. Did anyone close to you die?

vietnam! i still dream of the cu chi tunnels! hehe. fanny's ice cream!
6. What would you like to have in 2006 that you lacked in 2005?
material? more money i guess...
emotional, psychological, and spiritual? id like to be more independent and 'detached'.
7. What date from 2005 will remain etched upon your memory?
shux, for someone with short term memory, this is an unfair question. it would have to be dec. 12... my bday. by far, the happiest day i can remember. aaaw!
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
professionally... i got promoted this year. 2 years into the job. not bad, huh? im a year late though. i promised mel id work on getting promoted within my first year. haha.
personally... i became a more responsible member of my family. feels good not to be treated as such a little girl anymore... i think ive earned a bit of their respect. :p
9. What was your biggest failure?
it would definitely have to be giving in too much to my emotions. its been a REALLY emotional year. i let them take over too often... something to work on, definitely.
10. Did you suffer an illness or injury?
chronic temporary insanity? haha. neurotic spells.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
that would probably be my Zara skull shirt. i bought a lot of stuff this year... people close to me would know. :p but that shirt tops the list. its the most 'expensive' thing i bought... considering its a t-shirt. but i still love it! :)
12. Where did most of your money go?
my credit card... coz i bought so many stuff.. ill lump them together as credit card expense! hehe. clothes, shoes, make-up, accessories, salon and other kikay stuff, spa... and the list goes on. dont get me wrong.. i DO have savings. :)
13. What did you get really, really excited about?
excited about getting 'my own space' here at home. with the new house, im moving into my parent's room... well, im sharing it with my dad since i cant kick him out, but at least i get to fix it up and have more room for my stuff. i know eventually ill get my own room... hay. woes of a big family.
14. What song will always remind you of 2005?
yikes, im not a music person... :p

ii. thinner or fatter?
tough call... thinner i hope.
iii. richer or poorer?
qualified richer. in general, i can spend more now. love it.

35. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2005
always save some for yourself... thats not being selfish.
