Probably should've done this earlier, but here's an end of the year survey just for kicks.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I didn't have any specific resolutions except these, and they still sound good to me.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? No.
4. Did anyone close to you die? Yes.
5. What countries did you visit? Didn't travel in 2009. Boo.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009? Patience, faith that things will work themselves out.
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory and why? June 13 - BioSci Commencement. October 24 - day of bad news.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Again, graduating and job. Getting my grown-woman on.
9. What was your biggest failure? It's still difficult for me to open up and express my feelings sometimes. I need to fix that since it affects important relationships, especially with my parents.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Nothing noteworthy.
11. What was the best thing you bought? My MyTouch! For as long as I've had a cell phone, I've never bought an upgraded phone until this year. I could always rely on Raf for his hand-me-downs, even though I'd always lose them :/ And not gonna lie I really like my Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? My brother. He graduated this year too and started college at UCI. He's one person I don't worry about too much because he has a good head on his shoulders.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Cheaters. 2009 was their year I swear, all over the news as well as things I'd hear about.
14. Where did most of your money go? Now a good portion of it goes to my savings, but at 198 I swear it all went to food. It's hard to resist AYCE Korean BBQ, Le Dip, Yardhouse Happy Hour, Yen Sushi, & all of our other favorite spots in The Vine (I miss it :/) I also have a bad online shopping habit.
15. What did you really, really, really get excited about? SF weekend earlier in the year. Starting my new job. Glee & the American Idol finale with Kradam lol.
16. What song will always remind you of 2009? If you know me then you won't be surprised if I say anything by Lady Gaga.
17. Compared to this time last year are you:
Happier? About the same but for different reasons.
Thinner? A little bit, didn't indulge as much this holiday season.
Richer? Yup.

34. What kept you sane? I could always turn to Raf or Jay.
35. Which celebrity did you fancy the most? They come and go but it's always Johnny<3>

37. Who did you miss? Now that I'm back at home I miss the good times in Irvine.
38. Who was the best new person you met? I like all the people I met this year. I won't stroke any egos by naming names lol.

40. Quote or Song Lyric that sums up your year: “So tonight gotta leave that nine to five upon the shelf and just enjoy yourself, groove, let the madness in the music get to you,
life ain't so bad at all.”
life ain't so bad at all.”
