self-awareness stuff

You Are 40% Boyish and 60% Girlish

You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch.
Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes.
You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don’t actively fight them.
You’re just you. You don’t try to be what people expect you to be.
How
Boyish or Girlish Are You?

 

Was a bit shocked with the enuch stuff…lol!! I was like.."me??a eunuch?!?what the heck!"…lol!!

But hey, I reacted in such manner coz I didn’t immediately read
further..that’s what you get when you conclude immediately without
investigating first…

My Philo professor would surely scold me…fallacy of questionable
cause…or maybe fallacy of hasty conclusion..pwede rin!! LOL!! I plead
guilty to both. Plus, if I’d immediately conclude that this
"approximation" of my being boyish or girlish is 100% accurate, I’d be
commiting ad verecundiam..loL!!!

    But,hey, this is fun..I love learning random things
about me(no matter how inaccurate they sometimes might be..lol!!). I
enjoy taking these personality tests. Wla lng, they never fail to amuse
me.

    I also have fun reading my horoscopes..coz
sometimes, they do coincide with the different(and I do mean different)
moods I’m in.

    And speaking of horoscopes, here’s what’s in for me today at my Friendster’s horoscope. Today’s forecast seems to be one of those which happens to coincide with my current ’state’. here it is…

   
 

Aquarius

The Bottom Line

Things are changing fast and furious — you should be thrilled. Prepare for rewards.

In Detail

Feeling confused or overwhelmed? It’s so tempting to try to make
those feelings go away by taking the quickest, handiest action
possible, but what you actually need to do is slow down. It feels
counter intuitive, but it’s the only thing that will give you the
clarity to make the best choice. Look carefully at the situation, and
examine all sides of it, both positive and negative. Now aren’t you
glad you didn’t toss the baby out with the bathwater?


Yes, indeed…things are changing fast and furious…but I’m not at all thrilled…

Rewards?Can’t relate..lol!!!

The
In Detail
section struck me…

It is, indeed very tempting to take the quickest possible action on
making ‘these’ feelings go away..but I know it won’t do me any good.
Running away wont help…I think i should just face this.."Look
carefully at the situation"…think clear..think rational…it’d be for
the best…

*sigh*…God is with me in all of this, I can feel his prescence..I’m
just so puzzled why He lets these things to happen..why He lets these
feelings to flow..

Maybe sooner or later,I’d find out…

Hmm…meantime…I gotta live life!! LOL!!! live college life, girl…this ain’t no time to be so baffled..so distracted!!

Conscience: Daghan pa kag huna-hunaon sa skwelahan,inday..unaha usa!! Weheheh!!!

Well, just as my friend Yvone usually says…"Ito na tlga ang sinasabi ng mangkukulam!"..hihihi!!

So..I’ll end my blabbering here! Ciao! Y’all have a nice day!


The Da Vinci Code film adaptation…can’t wait!!!

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

       Wow! My fave suspense novel is gonna be on the big
screen!!!Yeah! I Can’t wait to feel such nerve-wracking emotions once
again. Never, in my reading experiences before DaVinci Code, have I
been subjected to such emotional chaos. Reading the book caused me to
question a lot about alotta things..things which has something to do
with my faith. But those questions have long been answered.. What I
seek now is the feel of adrenaline rush and exhilirating anxiety[is
there such a thing?lol!] that comes with one’s encounter with this
mind-bending story.

   
The idea of seeing the characters that I only then imagined come to
life seems so cool. All the symbols, the great works of art…everything
that I only then painted into my mind are gonna be right in front of me
on silver screen! Haha!! Can’t wait…

    Here’s something from the movie’s teaser trailer…

    "It is so powerful..that men have died to protect it. and there are those who would kill to expose it.

    It is a message that has been hidden for centuries…right before our eyes…

   
What if the world’s greatest works of art held the secret that could
change the course of mankind… forever…

   
Next summer..no matter what you have read..no matter what you believe,
the journey has just begun…THE DAVINCI CODE!!!
"

starring Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Jean Reno and more…

Want some more???View the teaser trailer here and check out the DaVinci Code movie site here.

Hmmmm….May 19,2006…8 months?!? Darn, it’s gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooooong wait. *sigh*. Can’t wait!

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

    Goodness!!! It’s going to be a week of struggle…

    First, lots of requirements are due this week(should i still be surprised?lol!). But then, it’s finals, what do I expect?

    Yes, I did expect being bombarded with requirements…what I didn’t expect was this emotional turmoil that’s right now going on within me. (Ok..here we go again!!!)

     If you’ve read my blog entries these past few days, you could tell that I’m into something(or rather, ‘my heart’ is into something) that is quite mind-boggling. I’m goin through something that I believe every girl, whether she likes it or not, undergoes every now and then…yes..you guessed it right…I AM IN "THE 4-letter-word"….(YUUUUCK!!!ngilngiga jud ani uy!!!Pero bisan mag-ulan, magbagyo, maglinog, magtsunami, maghurricane, mao man jud ni…so there’s no freakin’ point in denying this..gikapoy na kog deny,bayet!!!). haaaay!!! you’re in for another stupid blog entry..so don’t continue reading….
…but my fingers are gonna continue typing..coz i need to shout this out..(i’m just gonna let my fingers do the shouting coz odds say that my mouth is prohibited to do so..lol!!)

   
So here goes the "rants of the fingers"…

    It takes two to tango…we all know that. In my case, there could be no tango at all,coz I’m the only one on the dancefloor…
Bawal kasi,eh…a "me and him" is quite impossible. Kaya nga "Please Don’t Ask Me",eh. (zzzzzzzzzzzp!! *zippinMyMouth..you’re not gonna make me elaborate on that..hmph!)

    A very good friend of mine, (c ms.nice..) quoted.."All is fair in love and all in love is fair"…
She told me, "dacky, we could never tell..". Hmmm…I would love to believe so but I think I’d be living in a freakin’ world of make-believe and i’d be giving myself false hopes if I inject that into my system.

    So..since there’s no way for us to "tango", the poor heart of kathy(a.k.a. dacky..lol!!!) has to shut the heck up. And what do you expect from someone who’s holding back a certain something within her???…grrrr…honestly, i dont completely know yet, but you could see that im in the process of finding out.

    Hirap pala,noh??? When your heart is soooo full of that feeling(assuming it’s really the feeling that im feeling..aheehee..) and you just can’t tell the person. It’s soooo hard to shut up when all you want to do is shout to the whole damn world.."HEy!!! This is what I feel for this guy..and I don’t care what you think!!!". 

    I hope it’s that easy..gosh how i wish it was that easy to tell him how I feel..
    But considering my principles in life(kuno), and considering how fate has shaped both of our status in life, I don’t think I could take such risk. I mean, hey, ano nlng mangyayari kung malalaman nya(…tubag dayon.."aba malay ko!"..loL!).

    Haaaahaayyyy..pasensya na jud mo sakoa karon ha…
    Actually, Ive "shouted" this to my closest friends nah but it doesn’t seem to be enough…ewan ko bah!!! Ambot ug ngano!!! Even some of my other friends..friends whom I can’t "shout" to (at least not just yet) told me a thousand times.."HOY, Dacky!! Nabuang na man cguro ka!"..ahihihi!!! Simbako noh!!! The title of this blog entry would tell you that I intend to stay rational on this matter(no matter how hard it would be). I can’t afford to lose my senses..darn, i just can’t!!!

    That’s why God placed the head above the heart..for it to tell the heart.."Keep it cool!". (Uyyyy…mind-over-heart ang drama ng lola…hihihi!! Cge nlng gud..yaw nag angal..kabalong kinahanglan natong tarong na panghuna-huna nianing mga panahuna..!!!)

    But I have to admit, it’s quite hard to absorb that notion right now..tabang!! Please tell me to stay as level-headed as possible…huhuhhu..

    Haaay..I feel a bit relieved now. These blogs really help..
    Cge nah..have to go..salamat sa pagbasa ining way pulos na pagsiyagit sa akong kasingkasing(EEEWWWW!). mweheheh!!! Got some reports to finish and projects to update(I think I could manage doing those now..hehe..).. Buhbye! Y’all have a nice day. God bless!! ;)

p.s.
Wish me luck -_-

Mood Swings Test

Saturday, September 10th, 2005

       
The Mood Swings Test

       

How do your moods measure up?

      

               

Are your mood swings irrational or predictable? Are you even-keeled or do you fly off the handle? When friends see storm clouds brewing, do they run for the hills or can they withstand your temper tantrums?

Nice? Nasty? Normal? Find out how your moods measure up.
Find out here

I’ve already teken the test and this is what tickle said about how moody I am…

Kathy, your mood tends to swing between Enthusiastic & Uneasy.                         

               

       
      

                

    Most of the time you feel enthusiastic as evidenced by your positive outlook on life and your high levels of energy. When you feel uneasy, your outlook tends to be negative and you spend considerable energy dwelling on your negative feelings and emotions. Your uneasy nature causes you to get worked up over every negative aspect of your life.

    When you experience the ups and downs of mood swings, the most important thing to remember is that you’re not alone. Everyone—even the calmest individual—is liable to fly off the handle now and again.

Hahaha!!! igo ko!! Yes, I am somewhat like this…

How about yah??? How moody are you??  Don’t forget to tell me, ha. Balitai ko… *wink* :)

Love Song Mania

Saturday, September 10th, 2005

     Love songs seem to rule my winamp and brain’s playlist for the past
3 days. I can’t seem stop myself from listening to old love songs such
as Anything For You by Gloria Estefan, I Need You by 3T, Masterpiece
and Always by Atlantic Star, Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen, Lost
in Your Eyes by Debbie Gibson, Steep by Lauren Christy and of
course..Please Don’t Ask Me by John Farnham. (oh, and the list could
still go on…) They all soothe my soul. I feel so invigorated after a
sound trip session with these series of songs in the playlist.

     Right now, I’m also super in love with tracks like Gloria
Estefan’s Don’t Wanna Lose You Now, Janet Jackson’s Again, Jessica
Simpson’s Angels(Originally by Robbie Williams), Leigh Nash’s Need To
Be Next To You, Peter Cetera and Cher’s After All (an all-time fave of
mine), Natalie Cole’s Miss You Like Crazy, Peter Cetera’s You’re My
Inspiration and Glory of Love, and Almost Paradise by
i-forgot-who..hehe.. ;)

     I don’t know what drives me to successively listen to these
songs. But I believe one factor is that I’ve had too much of Justin
Timberlake and Timbaland’s Good Foot, and Missy Elliot’s Lose
Control(the songs we danced to during our Intrams’ modern dance
contest). Weeks of practice with these and other R&B songs playin
on the speakers probably made my brain say to *boom boom* songs…"Ive
had enough of y’all!". Weheheh!!

     Hmm…what else could be the reason..uh..i dunno(ows?!)..could
it be because I simply feel like listenin’ to these songs? After all I
don’t recognize any particular musical genre as my favorite,di ba??
mmm..pwede..

     Could it be because I need some sort of relaxation after a week
long of intense screaming and cheering for the ITE Program’s teams for
the Intrams???hmm…pwede rin..

     Or could it be because….simply…I’m…uhhh…ehh….wala lang..feel ko lng..ahihihi!!!

     Well…whatever!!! LOL! These songs may seem super boring and
"makabaog" to most guys and gals my age..but to me, these are actually
the type which never ever fail to genuinely amaze my senses. They are
the songs that live forever. Just look at artists of today(the younger
ones)..they all make revivals of these songs..(and uh..some doesn’t
give them justice, i have to say!!grrr!!)

     It’s quite sad to say but most songs popularized by today’s
artists seem to just come and go. They click for a certain period of
time, but they go unnnoticed in just a matter of months(or weeks?..tsk
tsk..) I dunno what’s happenin to music as time passes by. The
definition of "good music" seems to debase as time moves forward.

     That is why, every now and then, if I wish to have a dose of
incontestably bangin’ music..I go back in time and listen to these beautiful love songs.
To those who think these old songs are trash..think again…but then,
we all have different tastes,right?

    So now I take back what I said about not knowin the factors
thats drivin me to listen to these beautiful love songs..hehe… ;)

That’s it.Bye for now…*wink*

don’t ever ever ask…

Please Don’t Ask Me

John Farnham

Please don't ask me what am i thinkingIt's about youAnd please don't ask meI never can see youWhat can i doMy first impulse is to run to your side***My heart's not free***, and so i must hide Please don't ask meWhat i'm gonna say to youI toss and turnCan't sleep at nightIt's worrying me, I go to bedTurn out the lightBut your face i seeIt only hurtsThe more i pretendThat we could everBe more than friendsPlease don't ask meWhy I'm so in love with youYou could easily make me happyThat I knowBut I try my best to never tell you soI will sing to you my love songsAnd pretend And I`ll keep the secret right downTo the endPlease don't ask me why I'm not talkingI just can't explainAnd please don't ask meWhy I go walking out in the rainI could not live the lie it would takeTo have you here would be a mistakePlease don't ask meWhy I'm so  in love with youNo please don't ask me

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

It’s been a looooooooooong day!!!

       First part of the morning, I went to
school for dance practice once again…second part of the day was
probably the most wonderful time I’ve had so far this school year…and
during the third part…well, I think I just had the most scary moments
in my entire life…(had my first ever closest encounter with the
so-called creatures of the underworld…)…I don’t have the strength
to elaborate on that so I’ll tell you more later.

          And here’s another side of today’s drama…
            I have just discovered something…
        …IT IS SO DAMN HARD TO TELL
YOUR HEART the words "Shut up!". This is about a situation that I chose
to face…a feeling that I chose to feel. And I chose to feel that
feeling because I wanted to make it go away…and I believed(at that
time) that facing it is the only way to get away from it. (Am I making
any sense here???I dont seem to care whether I am or not…pardon me..)

     At first, I was in denial…trying to hide and
supress the "feeling" that was somehow thretening to burst out from me.
And then I told myself .. "how can I turn and walk away from something
if I wouldn’t face it…how can I turn my back from something if I’m
not facing anything at all in the first place???". With that, I decided
to "let the feeling flow". I resolved to letting the feeling come and
go..naturally. I thought it was okay to invest emotionally on
this…because afer all…"it would all go away naturally"(at least I
assumed so).

    Everything was so bleak(in fact it still is…and
always would be…=( )…the road was rocky…the tunnel unlit…and
yet I decided to pursue on the journey. And now…where am I??? I’m
trapped in this extremely overwhelming world of make-believe. I’m in an
unlit tunnel…a tunnel which has no light at all at its end. I thought
facing the feeling would make the feeling go away..but I thought wrong.
Silly me…

    Silly me…I rarely invest in something so
uncertain(no matter how trivial that something may be). This is one of
those rare times…and it’s sad to say that I regret the decision I
have made(I hate it when I come to the point of regretting anything
that I have chosen to do). How I wish I had refused to acknowedge this
feeling in the first place…
I may be in a denial state if I had done so…but I wouldn’t have
cared…it’s better than getting stuck in this present which has a
future that is shrouded with uncertainty. I feel so happy with the
encounters I have with him, yes. But I know it’s nothing but an empty
–(cant find the right word..lol)–..Just like a bubble…you enjoy it
for a moment..but only for a moment..for it is sure to be gone in no
time..*sigh*

    All this pointless happy moments…all of this futile hopes…they would all go nowhere…
    This feeling of happiness would never be taken to
the next level. In this situation..theres no such thing as "move
forward". This feeling of delight would only be until here.

    I would love to make the impossible, possible…but I don’t think I’m in the position to do so.

    Ahhh…what the heck is this!!! This is nothing but
pure absurdity!!! Absurdity caused by the world’s greatest
deceiver..’baffler’..and ‘make-believer’…love.

    Technically,  the heart is being dictated by
the brain…But to hell with that notion…love has its own brain, I
say! Far as I’ve seen and learned, nothing can dictate the heart. It is
more stubborn than a spoiled brat…more hard-headed than a
self-righteous A.H. Hmmpph…

    Freak! Told ya you shouldn’t read this entry.
.hehe..if you’ve gone this far, then you must be a really patient
reader..lol!!! Buhbye…til next time. Gotta go and get some sleep. (I could use some..hehehe…)

p.s.
this happened..uh..2..no…3 days ago…
