Quizzes...quizzes...quizzes...

I came across this website: http://www.blogthings.com/ and they've got lots of quizzes that are quite interesting. Some are funny, weird, curiosity-shakers, but shouldn't be taken seriously. So, to kick things off, here are some of the quizzes I took and the results that I got.Ü (This will probably be a first of many parts...hehehe)

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Your Birthdate: October 12

You're a dynamic, charismatic person who's possibly headed for fame.
You tend to charm strangers easily. And you usually can get what you want from them.
Verbally talented, you tend to persuade people with your speaking and writing.
You are affectionate and loving, but it's hard for you to commit to any one relationship.

Your strength: Your charm

Your weakness: Your extreme manipulation tactics

Your power color: Indigo

Your power symbol: Four leaf clover

Your power month: December



What Age Do You Act?

You Act Like You Are 17 Years Old

You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid.
You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way.
You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.



What's Your Native American Name?

HAHAHA! I'm a badger??? Funny! And does it really have to say "beautiful" twice? Over naman yan! HAHAHA!

What's Your Karaoke Theme Song?

Your Karaoke Theme Song is "I'm Too Sexy"

You're a total goof ball and a bit of a nut job. You don't take yourself seriously at all.
And while you may not be the greatest singer, you're the first to volunteer for karaoke.

You have a wild and unpredictable sense of humor that always gets people cracking up.
Irreverent and rebellious, your humor knows no bounds or limits. You enjoy shocking people.

You might also sing: "Like a Virgin," "Ice Ice Baby," and "Hey Ya!"

Stay away from people who sing: "Sweet Home Alabama"

I AM a goof ball AND a nut job! And to tell you frankly, I actually like this song (I'm too sexy)! Though i've never sung it on karaoke ever before. But i've sung "Like A Virgin" last Christmas, so I guess this quiz kinda hit the spot! HAHAHA!


Are You Ready for a New Boyfriend?

You are Almost Ready to Date Again

You're over him... well, mostly.
Truth be told, you still think of your ex on occasion.
Enough to effect any new relationship you may start.
Give yourself time and space - you are 90% there.
And don't swear off men, just make sure to play the field.

WHAT THE...!!! You must be kidding me! This quiz ain't right. I demand a recount!Ü


The It's Its There Their They're Quiz

You Scored an A

You got 10/10 questions correct.

It's pretty obvious that you don't make basic grammatical errors.
If anything, you're annoyed when people make simple mistakes on their blogs.
As far as people with bad grammar go, you know they're only human.
And it's humanity and its current condition that truly disturb you sometimes.

HAHA! And if I may add, I get annoyed at people who say "MTV" when what they really should be saying is "music video." Hay...gets to my nerves all the time!


What Kind of Ex-Girlfriend Are You?

You Are an Indifferent Ex

You're not one of those girls who thinks about her exes - or even remembers them
"Love 'em and Leave 'em" is your motto. And your break ups tend to be a clean break.
It's a nice strategy to have, and guys appreciate your total lack of emotional baggage.
But just a little reminder: it is okay to remember the good parts of your past, even with exes.

OK. Sabi mo eh.Ü


Are You an Independent Woman?

You Are 53% Independent

Overall, you're a pretty independent woman. You don't follow trends just to fit in.
You've got your own cool thing going on, though you sometimes still care too much about what other's think.



Where Would Your Dream Guy Take You on Your Honeymoon?

You Should Honeymoon in the USA!

You and your sweetie want a fun filled honeymoon
Without the hassle of food poisoning or learning a new language
The USA is perfect for you (even if you already live here)
You can kick it at a spa, go to an amusement park, or explore a new city

Suggested destinations: Disneyworld, Vegas, NYC, Napa Valley, Palm Springs

HUWAT!!! No, no, no, no, no...my dream honeymoon is in Paris...and anywhere else that we could go to in Europe. Not the USA! Mali nanaman sila...hehehe...Well...the quiz may be partly correct coz I also want to go to Bahamas anyway...Ü

2007 in Retrospect

It's an hour away from my self-appointed deadline for this month's blog and also an hour away from the entire Philippines (and those sharing the GMT +8:00 time zone) welcoming the new year. I actually started this blog thinking of writing about those things that I miss when I was in the US. But now that the firecrackers outside are getting plentiful by the minute and my television tuned-in on GMA7's Celebr8 to '08 party, I can't help but to think of the year 2007, which will, in about an hour, be known to everyone as the year that was. So I guess i'll just reserve that blog that I have in mind for another time and right now try to focus on reflecting on the good, the bad, the nice, and the ugly about the year 2007.

To make this easier (mostly for me Ü), i'll enumerate some of the highlights of my year...coz i'm sure all the TV stations out there will be enumerating the highlights of the year 2007 in their end of year specials, so i'll just leave that to them. At para maiba naman, i'll just list down the highlights of MY year...since blog ko naman 'to! HEHEHE! So, here it goes (in random)...
  • For this year, I increased my number of inaanaks by 3: Renzo, Iya, & Gaby Ü
  • I had my eyes lasered at St. Lukes last Feb.14 (so doctor ko ang ka-date ko nung araw na yun! hehehe)
  • The passing of Tito Andy & my Ama
  • I bought, with my own money, my first non-Nokia cellphone (a pink MotoRAZR Ü)
  • I saw through the implementation of a project (that's close to my heart...hehehe)
  • I got to show my dancing prowess 3 times this year...hehehe!
  • My family and I celebrated my maternal Lolo & Lola's 50th Wedding Anniversary
  • I had my first diving experience with friends at Anilao
  • I had two of my colleagues moving to greener pasteurs...Dio & Jacky
  • I had a drastic haircut (the first in years), the Mega Bangs 'do Ü, on the month of August
  • I experienced my first ever "company" outing (although it was just our group who went out of town...and it was not even an overnight thing...hehehe)
  • I voted...for the 2nd time around.
  • I danced at Obando (not to get pregnant, ha!) with a few of my colleagues
  • My family and I celebrated my Dad's surprise 70th birthday at Gloria Maris, Greenhills, wherein all 6 children of Papa were present (Vian flew in from Canada, Walter flew in from Shanghai, while Bambi was already here coz of her schooling Ü)
  • I got sent to my first ever "training/workshop" at work (all the past ones got cancelled...hehehe...)
  • I joined a gym
  • It was the first time that the entire Philippines celebrated my birthday...hehehe...holiday kasi (Ramadan)
  • I experienced the worst emotional rollercoaster ride to date
  • I had a 2-week US Vacation!!! YIPPEEE!!!
  • My mom and I celebrated thanksgiving in the US for the 2nd time
  • My mom and I got great deals during the after-thanksgiving (or "Black Friday") mega sale! (We got to buy a laptop, digicam, digital photoframe, and a whole lot more!)

Well I guess that's all that I can remember for now.Ü Here's to the year ahead! Cheers to 2008! Thanks for visting my blog! *HUGZ!*and*MUAH!*

Hail to the Alma Mater

To all Lasallians out there, listen up (literally)...a new twist to our beloved Alma Mater song...reggae version (naks!). It's nice actually...I like it. Feeling ko ako si Bob Marley every time I hear this (it's in my phone, under my Pang Ubos Batt playlist Ü). I got this from Jerome, my officemate, who's from USTe, so I don't really know where he got this but he just came up to me one morning and said: "Diba from La Salle ka? Pakinggan mo 'to, yung Alma Mater song nyo." So I listened and I liked it then he sent it via bluetooth from his phone to mine. And that's the story of how I got this version of our Alma Mater song.Ü





Here's another version...in a cappella, sung by the DLSU Chorale. I got this from another blogsite (Nekti Ka No? Rektikano!), which I learned about when an officemate told me about it a few months back. May added bonus pa kasi may kasamang video yung song.





Well, what other line to end this blog but to borrow a line from a song: I'd rather be green than be blue.Ü True yan!Ü Animo La Salle!
