I've decided to answer this Q & A every year, just to be reminded how my year went. My 2008 was published on another blog... but here's my 2K9:

Did you know anybody who got married?
- Yes, it came quite as a surprise though. My bestfriend from 2nd grade, Melody Viray got married to Lem last November. I wasn't informed about it so I was completely taken aback when someone posted their wedding photos.. I was going to throw a fit, but Bestfriend already apologized for not letting me know. Kat's older sister, Ate Karla also got married. It was such a pretty wedding. Ah, it makes me want to get married already. HAHAHA.

Did you know anybody who passed away?
- Tons of people passed away this year. My grandmother, who lived a very long life - more than 90 years, died last October. We went to Bicol to attend the funeral. It was the first time that I saw my dad and my uncles cry, it was very very sad - especially for my dad since he and grandma has always been very close. And, Corazon Aquino also died this year.

What things you thought you would never do but did?
- Hmmm.. FAIL! Not once but twice. OH NO! :| It wasn't intentionally, though. It made me doubt myself for a moment but I also thought all these failures are bound to make me great! Sigh. Hmmm, I also did things for love, nothing too crazy though. Haha.

Any new additions to your family?

.
Did you change at all this year?

"I'm happier than I've ever been in my entire life, despite all of my problems. But, no worries, I'm still stubborn and lazy; I still don't fix my hair much; I'm still not graceful; and I'm still a messy eater." Hehehe :))

- "OF COURSE :) I'll be in school much much longer".

Did you go on any vacations?
- Just within the country. Bicol and Aurora.

Would you change anything about yourself now?
- A lot, actually. I want to be more secure, more structured, more persevering, more "out there".. sigh.

What do you want to change in 2010?
- STUDY HABITS! Haha :))

Overall, how would you rate 2009?
- It didn't beat 2008 but at least it wasn't THAT bad.

Do you think 20010 will top 2009?
- YES, definitely. I'll make sure it will. 2010, here I comeeeeeeeeeee!!!
