To have learned from my mistakes. I also bought cellphones for each of my parents. It's not much but i feel so proud of myself for being able to do that. :)

29. What was your favorite film of this year?

A lot actually. They are Troy, Shrek2, Van helsing, and Resident Evil: Apocalypse. I was a bit disappointed with Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban. i have read its book 3 times right before watching the movie so i practically didn't enjoy the film at all because a lot of things were not included. but of course i understood the limitations of a movie compared to a book and vice versa. so HP:POA is still good because it showed more of the world Harry was living in and i like how it looked like.
