-- wow. Super dami.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
-- yes, actually.
4. Did anyone close to you die?

5. What countries did you visit?

6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
-- strength. I needed a lot of it in 2006 and I’m sure I’ll be needing more in 2007.
7. What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
-- it’s more like a period of time. Third term of junior year. I’m sorry, but that was just awesome. Pati na rin summer. The BEST summer ever. All bonding moments with my batch [graduating na eh]. This includes the field trips, town moments after the Christmas Party, our birthday party, etc.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
-- I consider each day of my life as an achievement. O diba? Galing ng line na ‘yun eh. Seriously though, I do consider everyday an achievement. Life is filled with uncertainty and it takes a lot out of us to go through each day. As much as I would love to take control of everything in my life, it’s just not possible and surviving each day of vagueness is definitely an achievement. Snaps to all us for surviving everyday.
9. What was your biggest failure?

36. What political issue stirred you the most?
-- a lot, actually,
The War on Iraq. Because of the proposition for the semi-finals in the Debate Comp, I realized that we have been blinded from the truth. They have been showing us what they want us to see; and most of the time it is void of what is actually going on. We have been exposed to only one side of the story. They have dictated who is the enemy; all the while, they are the ones we should doubt and fear.

38. Who was the best new person you met?
-- summer camp people. =)
39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006
-- Don’t be afraid of change. You may lose something good, but you might gain something better. Mind you, I still fear change quite a little.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year
-- “People are all the same and we only get judged by what we do. Personality reflects name and if I’m ugly than so are you.” – Ugly by Sugababes
“Life is a rollercoaster. Just gotta ride it.” – Life Is A Rollercoaster by Ronan Keating
41. Rate the year 2006 in a scale of 10.
-- 10. I learned a lot about life, my friends, my family and myself. =) Take note, I didn’t get only one thing that I wanted this year. Thank God for that. =)
