Normally, I avoid things like this. Nothing else makes me feel as inadequate and inferior as looking back at the year that was and feeling like I just spent 98% of my time nursing hangovers or eating junk food in my couch while fist-pumping to Jersey Shore. I kid you not, I really do fist-pump to Jersey Shore (and other things, like finding a can of Ma Ling in the kitchen) while around the house.

These year-end surveys are generally not good for my well-being. That, and no one really cares about these things (exceptions: my boyfriend and probably me, when I’m 40). But then, maybe it could be a good thing for me to start doing these things so I can be motivated to do better the next year, ya know?

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
Shave the side of my head. The Azta stylist botched it up, though, so I might do it properly in 2012. We’ll see.

I need two more blog entries this day for reasons I will not say but y’all probably know. Oh, I got hipster glasses:

I got them for fifty pesos in Cubao. That’s a dollar something for you non-Filipinos.

On to the self-serving stuff (everyone’s done this so I’m not the only boring one, ok):

If I were a month, I’d be May.
If I were a day of the week, I’d be Friday.
If I were a time of day, I’d be happy hour.
If I were a planet, I’d be Mars.
If I were a sea animal, I’d be a nudibranch!
If I were a direction, I’d be nowhere.
If I were a piece of furniture, I’d be a couch.
If I were a liquid, I’d be beer. Mixed with female fat burners.
If I were a gemstone, I’d be emerald.
If I were a tree, I’d be an umbrella tree!
If I were a tool, I’d be a Photoshop pen tool.
If I were a flower, I’d be a cherry blossom.
If I were a kind of weather, I’d be a cold day.
If I were a musical instrument, I’d be a synthesizer.
If I were a color, I’d be Barbie pink.
If I were an emotion, I’d be fascinated.
If I were a fruit, I’d be a cherry.
If I were an element, I’d be water.
If I were a car, I’d be a …vintage something. I know nothing about cars except they have four wheels, they get you wherever you want to be, and that you need a license to use it. And that you shouldn’t drink while/if you’re going to be behind the wheel.
If I were a food, I’d be a bucket of fried chicken.
If I were a place, I’d be the city.
If I were a material, I’d be recycled paper LOLIDK.
If I were a scent, I’d be green tea.
If I were an animal, I’d be a Siamese or a ragdoll kitty.
If I were a facial expression, I’d be a scrunched nose.
If I were a song, I’d be Lykke Li’s Little Bit.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
At thirteen, I was a competitive swimmer and part of the Royal Dolphins. After school, my dad, my brother, and I would travel two hours to San Pablo, Laguna to train for two to three hours. Weekends were spent training at Baker Hall inside the UPLB campus or, if the pool was closed for the weekend, at the Makiling Botanical Gardens or Pook (the only Olympic-sized swimming pool in Los Banos) pools.

I also made my first static webpage on the now-defunct gURLpages, spent a lot of time on kiwibox.com and posting at the Hansonline forums (Hanson’s official site before they changed it to hanson.net).

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
Nothing! It’s a lazy Sunday at Drew’s, but I guess: take out the trash, buy cigs, maybe go to the Toycon at Megamall, go through my blogroll, and maybe meet up with some friends tonight. Except for the first two, nothing’s final.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Oishi’s wasabi-flavored potato chips, chocolate cupcakes, cheese, leche flan, cake, and diet pills (heh).

4. Places I’ve lived:
Paco, Manila (where I was born); La Union; Los Banos, Laguna; Katipunan Avenue/Loyola Heights, Quezon City; Antipolo, Rizal.

5. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:
I can’t even imagine having that much money, but I’ll go ahead and be cute here: travel, live wastefully for a year, give the money to my folks to manage.

6. People I want to know more about:
Artsy-fartsy people. Actually, no. No one specific, really.

Hi, my name is Helga and my face in that photo up there is what I usually look like when I’m in a good mood. Just in case you’re a bit stupid, I’m the one in the brown hoodie.

It’s Friday, I’m in love. Not necessarily in a good mood, not necessarily focused, not necessarily in tip-top shape.

SO ANYWAY, BECAUSE I AM PERPETUALLY DISTRACTED BY WARBOOK AND NOW, MARS 2025, I’ll go down Lame Lane and do a meme.

But before I do, a question: how do you pronounce ‘meme’? Because I say ‘meeem’ and if you pronounce it any other way, YOU ARE WRONG.

Appetizer
How much money do you plan to spend this upcoming holiday season?
— Um. My whole 13th-month pay?

Soup
What was the last television show you watched, and was it good?
— Euromaxx on some local tv station. It’s something I can watch in complete silence. Meaning: no running commentary on how moronic the show is.

Salad
If you had to paint the walls of your living room tomorrow, what color would you choose?
— My landlords are a couple of assholes (who need to go in for acne treatments) and this is a lame question.

Main Course
Name something clever or practical you have thought of that should be invented, but hasn’t yet.
— YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE AWESOME? If goddamn workforce just did it’s fucking job correctly and be able to accurately forecast our call volume BECAUSE WE’RE FUCKING FORCED TO CUT OUR LUNCH HOUR IN HALF TO RENDER OVERTIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Dessert
List 3 things you would like to receive as gifts this upcoming holiday season.
— a Lomo Fisheye
— a taser
— a sunny day

I hate this job.

Your friendly neighborhood barbies (Tanduay Rhum Barbie, Euro Whore Barbie, Birdie Barbie, and Popstar Barbie) are throwing a papapapartay this Saturday, though not necessarily in honor of my turning twenty-two. Truth is, I just wanted to make that little banner thinger, and the party was actually supposed to be last Sunday but the cleaning lady came in late.

Let’s get happy with Tanduay, romaine, and Ashlee Simpson! .!!!

Fine. Maybe there will be actual food and there will definitely be some Lindsay Lohan and maybe a little Hilary Duff; but I will not be providing beer. Because I will be tempted to drink it. Because I’m drinking beer again.

A warning, though: the guest washroom’s toilet doesn’t flush.

OMG, I’m 22 tomorrow. And now a meme.

Instructions: Imagine if your life were a movie, what would the soundtrack be? Use your media library (Ipod, Media Player, etc.), put it on shuffle mode, press play for each question and press next for the next questions.

Opening Credits: Never Is A Promise, Fiona Apple

You’ll never touch – these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You’ll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I’ve ever shown – to you

Waking Up: Beautiful, Belle and Sebastian

But everyone she knew thought she was beautiful
Only slightly mental
Beautiful, a bit temperamental
Beautiful, only slightly mental

First Day At School: No Sleep Tonight, The Faders

Girl, you won’t be sleeping
No sleep tonight
Do I have to spell it out in black and white

Falling In Love: Flowers, Cibo Matto

I want certain words more than a thousand flowers

Fight Song: Not Too Late, Norah Jones

I’ve seen people try to change,
And I know it isn’t easy,
But nothin’ worth the time never really is

Breaking Up: Two Beds and a Coffee Machine, Savage Garden

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on

Prom: Whenever There Is You, Koop

So, please
Let our life begin now
Say you will stay with me
And be my man

Life’s OK: Beautiful, Late Night Alumni

I don’t have to dream
Reality is beautiful in you

Mental Breakdown: They Are Night Zombies!!! They Are Neighbors!! They Come Back From The Dead, Sufjan Stevens

I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S! Ring the bell and call or write us
I-L-L-I-N-O-I-S! Can you call the Captain Clitus?
B-U-D-A! Caledonia! S-E-C-O-R! Magnolia!
B-I-R-D-S! And Kankakee! Evansville and Parker City

Driving: Just Like Heaven, The Cure

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow

Flashback: Feelin’ Kinda Sunday, Nancy Sinatra

The bells I hear in me say I should be getting up soon,
Been travelling all morning long, but I’m still here in my room

Getting Back Together: First Orgasm, The Dresden Dolls

I bet I could last at least a week without someone to hold me
Won’t you hold me?

Wedding: Fell In Love With A Boy, Joss Stone

I fell in love once and almost completely
He’s in love with the world and sometimes these feelings can be so misleading

Birth of Child: Chariot, Gavin Degraw

You’ll be my vacation away from this place

Final Battle: L.O.V.E., Ashlee Simpson

Love is an energy, love is a mystery
Love is meant to be true
Love is a part of me, love is the heart of me
Love is the best thing we do

Death Scene: Me And The Minibar, The Dresden Dolls

No such details will spoil my plan
That is the kind of girl I am

Funeral Song: This Place Is A Prison, The Postal Service

I know there’s a big world out there like the one I saw on the screen
In my living room late last night,
It was almost too bright to see
And I know that it’s not a party if it happens every night
Pretending there’s glamour and candelabra
When you’re drinking by candlelight

What does it take to get a drink in this place?
