(2) Where did you work?
THEN: I wasn't working then.
NOW: Ateneo, coz studying is really HARD WORK. Hahaha.

(3) Where did you live?
THEN: In a small townhouse in Mandaluyong City.
NOW: In a galaxy far, far away.

(4) How was your hairstyle?
THEN: Apple cut (did anyone ever go through childhood without having one?)
NOW: Short again after five years of excruciatingly long hair.

(5) Did you wear braces?
THEN: No.
NOW: Yes. :(

NOW: Mom, Aemie, Gabs and L2. :D

(9) Which of your pets were still alive?

THEN: Donna Cruz (You are the sunshine in my life...) and whoever sang "The Greatest Love of All"
NOW: Incubus, Smashing Pumpkins, Urbandub. Looking at the difference between then and now, you could see that somewhere along the line I lost the naivete. Disillusionment, anyone?

NOW: Yes!

(19) If so which car?
THEN: The kiddie car. It was green, steel, and manual (i.e. it ran on MANPOWER). Hehehe.
NOW: Some Toyota car at the driving lessons center. This time, it was manual in the proper sense of the word.

(20) Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 2006?
I honestly don't know if I thought that much about my future back then (I was one year old 15 years ago, for crying out loud). But then again, I think that where I am right now is where I should be. So no regrets here. At least, no major ones. :D

(21) Who do you want to take this test?
Everyone who reads this (if they haven't taken it yet). Yes, YOU.
