A Survey to start the year!
January 5th, 2009 by dimapakali
1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
I sent a grovelling e-mail to my ex asking him to come back. I was lonely and I missed him. I realized now that he was probably laughing his ass off when he read the mail.
2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t remember making one. It would be pointless. I am weak. I easily succumb to, hmm, temptations. I made a couple this year though. First, I vow to stay away from pork and rice. Second, be more tolerant and patient in dealing with Jamie. Third, wake up from the emotional rut that I am in. Hmmm, let’s see if I have the fortitude to keep them.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Hmmm, a college friend gave birth, but we are not exactly close. She’s a doctor now and I am deathly afraid of doctors. hehehe
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Salamat sa Diyos, wala naman!
5. What countries did you visit?
I didn’t go anywhere this year. The farthest place I went to was Baguio City. I know, I lead such a pathetic existence. hehehe
6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008?
I would love to be able to make my own decisions without getting flak from my parents. I would love to get a job away from home. Helping out in the family business is noble, but it is just not doing anything for my personal development.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Nothing remarkable happened to me this year. LIke I said, I lead such a pathetic life.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Not giving up on my classes. I actually started and finished , what a surprise! I am having a hard time finishing this semester though. tsk. tsk.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Not having the courage to make it on my own. I have deluded myself into thinking that my parents need me, but they don’t. They just want me near so that I won’t make the same mistakes I made in the past.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
nah, thank god!
11. What was the best thing you bought?
I don’t know. I didn’t buy any major thing this year. Most of my money went to clothes which I hardly wear. What a waste!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Jamie’s. She’s turning into a precious gem. Just looking at her makes me forget all the things that happened between me and her pop.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My dad’s. He has never praised me for all the things I have done for his business. All he ever sees when he looks at me is what I failure I am for getting pregnant out-of-wedlock and for marrying someone who is not remotely interested in me.
14. Where did most of your money go?
Savings and shopping. hehehe
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Parang wala masyado. Puro trabaho eh. Sa 2009, promise, mas mag-eenjoy ako.
16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
I am not into music and that hasn’t changed…
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder?
sadder but wiser
ii. thinner or fatter?
Fatter. Haha. Ayos lang. hindi naman major obesity.
iii. richer or poorer?
poorer
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Meet more people. Date. Travel.
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Get depressed because of the failure of my marriage.
20. How will you be spending Valentines?
~ Hmmm, I’ll be having dinner with someone interesting and funny. Somebody who will not make me pay the freaking tab.
21. What was your favorite month of 2008?
This year was a disaster… I am glad it is over.
22. Did you fall in love in 2008?
Hmmm, no.
23. How many one-night stands?
You should be asking my ex this question, not me! I am a prude!
24. What was your favorite TV program?
I don’t usually watch tv. I’d rather watch a movie or read a book.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
~ Hmmm, nah.
26. What was the best book you read?
Well, Freakonomics was an interesting read. I haven’t jumped into the Twilight series bandwagon, but I just might the minute I am done with my freaking digital portfolio.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Jamie. Mark my words, she will be a star someday. hehehe
28. What did you want and get?
Nothing. I’m too broke to buy anything of value.
