Season's Greetings!

Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat!

... Normally I'd have some form of artwork, but I'm feeling mighty lazy and I need to go out anyways. X3

EDIT: Haha sa wakas hindi na rin tinamad.

"Pasko" by Alvaro Jimenez, circa 2002, artwork borrowed from the Ayala Museum. "Maligayang" added by myself thanks to Photoshop CS3. XD

Narito na ang Pasko at nangungulila'ng puso ko
Hanap-hanap, pinapangarap
Init ng pagsasalong tigib sa tuwa
Ng Mag-anak na nagdiwang
Sa sabsaban nu'ng unang Pasko.
- koro ng Paglamig ng Hangin, Bukas Palad

Kahit makakapiling ko ang aking kapatid sa ibayong dagat ngayong Kapaskuhan, nalulumbay pa rin ako dahil hindi ko SIYA makakasama. Pero okay lang, ang mahalaga ay nagkita kami at nagkakausap pa rin. ♥

Pansamantala muna ako mamamaalam sa internet dahil marami pa akong kailangang asikasuhin sa Pasko. Magkita na lang tayo sa pagsapit ng Bagong Taon. v^_^v

Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon sa lahat! :3

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

An end-of-the-year survey/meme from a friend in LJ (Paris would know her very well). Code's very basic and rather ugly in my opinion, but I don't make this stuff. v^_^0

Looking back on 2006
About You...
Name:	Ma Jocelyn Bordador

In 2006 did you...
Keep your New Years resolution?:	Yes and no
Go on a holiday?:	Yes, twice. XD
Change jobs?:	Yes.
Buy anything from eBay?:	No. I don't trust them there.

Get high?:	No.
Fall in love?:	Yes.
Break up with someone?:	No.
Get married?:	Doesn't apply.
Get divorced?:	Doesn't apply.
Stop speaking to someone?:	Yes.
Kiss someone?:	Sort-of, I think... do cheeks and family members count?
Kiss someone whose name you can’t remember?:	No.
Make a new friend?:	Heaps! XD
Do anything embarrassing?:	My year wouldn't be complete without having done something embarrassing. v^_^0

Best of 2006...

Album:	Blue Monsoon by Sound
Thing you bought:	See "Album". And also my shoes from Liliw. <3
Memory:	Too many to mention, but most of them seem to be cosplay-related.
Worst of 2006...
Movie:	I'll get back to you on this later...
TV Show:	Jigoku Shoujo - too many loose ends, not much sense. So much wasted potential. Oh, and House and most local soaps.
Song:	Taralets by Imago, Hitoiro by Mika Nakashima (I dislike whoever composed it XP)
Album:	That one by Paris Hilton. UGH.
Hangover:	I'll try to add that before 2006 ends. XD

About 2007...
What do you want in 2007?:	Weight loss. Idealism tempered with pragmatism. A raise - I keep getting all the this-is-WAY-much-for-the-n00b-to-handle-but-let's-give-it-to-her-anyways jobs. XP
Is there anything you would do differently in 2007?:	I would definitely try to be less paranoid and less temperamental.
Do you think it will be a good year?:	I don't want to assume anything.
What do you look forward to most about 2007?:	More financial independence, emotional stability, and contentment. Oh, and the possibility of meeting people.
Do you have a New Years resolution?:	To trust more, love more, bitch less and hate less.
