Aggie Wants to Know #3: Halfway There

How’d your first six months go? And what are you looking forward to the next six months?

Ok, this one was sitting on my draft for quite a week already … Because it’s a long one, it took me a while to finish, LOL! (excuses!) Anyway, this is my first time to join and such a nice idea to journal the things/events happened for the first half of 2008.

{Well. I’m supposed to write the monthly happenings but let me just answer the first half edition questionnaire first… then I’ll update it later, okies. (Hope that counts Aggie, hahahaha! kulang sa time eh!) }
