You scored 16% Slytherin, 48% Ravenclaw, 36% Gryffindor, and 32% Hufflepuff!

Are you sure that you belong at Hogwarts? You show no defined personal characteristics and therefore no house preference. Perhaps you should seriously consider a lucrative career in dentistry or tax preparation -- or allow the Sorting Hat to redetermine your place at a later date.

Stuff

Random stuff that's happened recently..sorry i haven't been updating this blog so often.

day before yesterday:
Auntie's 49th bday!! Happy Bday again Auntie!! She didn't feel like celebrating that day, but there are plans for next week..

yesterday:
-was at manila bay with kuya and sarjie, just hanging around waiting for midnight to pick up older sister Melissa from this bar called Boysies in Malate. Had sandwiches from Subway for dinner, walked around. Nothing to do there really but eat, all the places there were restaurants and casinos. Nobody present had money to gamble so we ended up just sitting around at Starbucks.
-also saw a used condom floating around in manila bay. Ewww! Kuya pointed it out to us; i thought it was an ice-candy wrapper. Took a picture of it with my phone but it was too dark, even on night mode.

today:
-cramming for my Physiology lab and lec exams. Tomorrow's the last day of my prelim exams, yehey!
-watched bicentennial man on HBO during my break from cramming
-picked up a cake from a Kink Cakes branch on Timog Ave. Secret, will post another blog about this ;cp

Also planning on having a small get-together/inuman thing at the house this week, a sort of end of prelims and xmas celebration. Hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Arghh

I had a sorta shitty day at university today. Discovered that my profs for Nutrition and Dental Materials are no good. Or maybe it's just my first impression. One doesn't seem to care and the other one may be a terror. Probably one of those profs who don't believe in giving a 1.0 (gotta let those newbie students squirm) even if you deserve it. Hell she'd probably get a migraine or vomit blood if she was forced to fork out 1.25 grades. Guess i'm just venting a bit. Had a bit of a disaster with the dental plaster in lab today. And that was just the first experiment. Hope the others turn out better. Plus the LRT was chock full of sweaty people again coz i left CEU late; had to attend this bullshit meeting for the upcoming Dent Fest. Seriously, not one of my better days.

The demons are cackling to me now, they say i have to read up on anatomy if i don't wanna flunk tomorrow's oral recitation and quiz.

^%&%$^$#@#!@!@!#$@%$%^%*&^

Wishlist

ok, so i'm feeling a bit greedy now. But really, this list is more of a self evaluation than an actual wishlist. Although you are more than welcome to actually purchase (or steal,cadge,weedle, i'm not too bothered with the means you acquire them for me)the following items for me. Oh, of course i'm only joking! .....

Consumables: (see how organized i am, i even categorize my wishlists)
1. Sourballs (the last can i had got gobbled up by my sister
2. Food for the Gods (drool..)
3. Nacho chips and a bottle of Mild Salsa (my current junkfood staple)

Stationery/Office supplies:
1. Keyboard rest pad
2. Bookmarks

Gadgets & Computer stuff
1. Webcam
2. Speakers (the old ones seem to be dying on me)
3. The Sims University PC game

Accessories/Body Products:
1. Shades
2. Strawberry lip balm from The Body Shop
3. Lavender scented body spray from bath and body works (i've run out)
4. Loofah Gloves (blue)
5. Stud earrings (got my ears pierced again which were a total waste seeing as i forgot to actually buy more earrings..)

Books:
1. The Chronicles of Narnia (I've got the first 3 books already)
2. Asterix (yes yes..it's a comic book)
3. The Diaries of Adrian Mole (I've half a mind (haha) to order it from PowerBooks)
4. Anything that is a good yarn to read, do recommend one for me, anything from the Fantasy/Satire/Murder Mystery section will intrigue me
5. Hardbound copy of HP & the Goblet of Fire.
6. Is The Dante Club any good? i've forgotten who the author is. doh.

Others:
1. A small canister of pepper spray
2. Swiss knife (i am perpetually intrigued by knives and power tools..hmmm...i'd hate to think of what that means psychologically..no..it's better left unsaid..)
3. A larger tackle box for my dent material. Sarjie got me this really nice one for my birthday, but i think i may need a bigger one...

Well, aren't i just a materialistic person or what? oh, and Happy Holidays to everyone..seeing as it's almost december i'm starting to feel the usual Christmassy (yes it's not a word, i just made it up) spirit..not the one that makes you feel all warm and gooey inside or whatever, but the *crap i haven't even started doing my Christmas Shopping yet* feeling ...

Various Things I've learned

1. Men consider women who are capable of taking care of themselves a threat. They'd rather get hitched to some demure, passive airhead (there must be a clone lab somewhere, it's a conspiracy..or maybe there's a mail order bride/girlfriend site). Then again, I don't sweat it much coz these men are most probably airheads themselves.
2. It is possible to watch certain tv shows or movies without using your brain. You know those types of shows.
3. Jeepney drivers refuse to return your change if they discover you wear braces.
4. The LRT train smells like various perfumes, colognes, aftershave and shampoos during the morning rush hour, but the universal odor of stale sweat lingers in your nostrils after 4pm. (Kinda like a gym..)
5. The world is mainly made of dumb people. About 99.9% of the human population are dumb. The Marching Morons isn't just Sci-Fi, it's actually Non-Fiction. Sad but true.
6. Music and Movies are increasingly becoming less and less original. Revivals are the 'in' thing now. Jokes are rephrased accordingly. 90% of Hollywood Movies have an obligatory Kissing/Love Scene.
7. Same-sex Siblings tend to sound alike over the phone.
8. Mosquitoes prefer biting people fresh from the airport. (Fresher blood?)
9. A person is either a dog person or a cat person, or neither.
10. If you act ornery, people always assume you have PMS.
11. If you act happy, people assume you're in love.
12. If you act sad, people assume you need to get roaring drunk.
13. Chocolate is the solution to every problem. :) (At least for the time being the problem seems to dissolve while the endorphins kick in)
14. It's impossible to sneeze with your eyes fully open. It really is.
15. Getting muscles (this is called Hypertrophy, by the way) by doing housework and home improvements is better than sweating it out in a gym. You spend less and are doing something productive at the same time. Only you can't really work on the abs by sweeping and mopping and buffing and hammering..that's the only downside. (oh, the gym idea is great only if u have a gym partner or a hunky trainer to, ah, motivate you)
16. The Home Shopping Network is a funny channel. I tune in whenever i need a laugh. Oh, i do wish i could just pick up the phone and order a multi purpose ladder or something,(and be one of the first 20 callers!!) but the boob enhancers and zenith grow products are just hilarious..
17. People with braces cannot whistle. They also tend to spit occasionally whilst talking. doh.
18. With the infinite possibilities of computer graphics, people expect nothing less than to be bombarded by dazzling effects at the movies. Anything else and the movie is declared low budget, at walang kwenta..(sadly i think i fit into this category because i am really waiting rather impatiently for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, King Kong and Chicken Little...ahhh shoot, so do you, admit it!)
19. Bohemian skirts are in again. Sadly i don't think they would suit me. Plus the pains of getting shoes and bags to match. Ang hirap maging babae talaga.
20. Murphy's Law is so true that there should be a religion for it. AND the grass really is greener on the other side. Thus ends my list of little things (for now) that clutter my brain.

Heheh

These are my South Park Characters. The one on the left is me at college while the one on the right represents me elsewhere. I made them from this pretty neat site where you can make your own South Park character. I found it amusing considering i don't really watch the tv show.

My first Dental Cast

I'm kinda proud of it..so thought i'd post a pic of it here. :) All my sweat and blood and tears went into it. heheh. It is essentially made out of the following:


-A clay dentulous (with teeth) cast
-half a set of human teeth
-ivory wax
-pink wax
-red clay
-plaster of paris
it was quite fun, yet tiring to make to say the least. Well i suppose 1 year from now i can look back and laugh at how much of a big deal we were all making out of it given the fact that we're gonna be making this kind of thing almost every other day. This particular Oral Ana1 project was made into a reason for myself and fellow classmates/friends to spend the night at my house. Thank goodness we had each other for support, encouraging one another when we each took turns throwing our hands up in defeat (No no, you can do it,kaya mo yan,not too much pressure now..! oops. Nothing a little epoxy won't fix..) Anyway, the clay teeth were knocked down using a micromotor..we embedded the realteeth and the wax specimens we carved out of wax in red molding clay (playdough-like stuff) making sure they were occluded properly. Next was the pink wax (which we melted with our trusty blowtorches..erm, i mean alcohol torches) and which was used to simulate the gingiva/gums. Once that was done, we made some plaster of paris gunk and slapped some onto the ends which would help seal the articulator in place, so the cast would have a hinge-like thingy to hold the 2 jaws together. Pretty neat huh? :)

Something Sad I Saw

I really hate it whenever i commute to and from CEU...not because of all the dangers lurking in every corner and alley, or the unbelievably thick strata of smog in the air..it's because i never know what i'm going to see along the way. What i saw last August 24 completely ruined my day..

ok, so with Midterm exams threatening to make me an irregular student, i, the master of all procrastinators, decide to pull an all-nighter. Amazingly managed to do that sans coffee or any form of stimulant..come 6:15 i dash to the LRT station and scurry along with other commuters..by 7am i'm at the Legarda station (after surviving being squashed nose-level to someone's kilikili in the train..what doesn't kill u makes you stronger right?)..

if you're reading this right now and also commute to school on the LRT line 2, i'm sure you're acquianted with the 2 mangy-looking dogs that camp out just near the Legarda station right? 1 grey one and 1 brown one? You can't miss them, coz if you don't watch where you're going you can easily step on them on the pathway. Well this morning, sure enough the brown one was snoozing away. But SOME DRUG-INDUCED ZOMBIE decided, for extra fun to the poor creature, to budgleon it to death. There i was, sprinting to Mendiola when i see the horrifying image of dead dog with a busted skull cap.

This is direct from me to the FREAKAZOID responsible. MA-KARMA KA SANA. EVERYTHING COMES BACK TO YOU THREEFOLD. YOU SICK EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING.

Recent Pics

These were taken on the opening of the Sports Fest of CEU at the Rizal Stadium in Manila, last Wednesday Aug 10..Thats me, and some of my friends Heizel, Mhavic, JoAnn and Ives. The purple thing i'm holding is a kind of a crepe paper-pom pom on a stick. Go Go Go Dentistry!! Wooooohooo!

A Substitute for Fencing

2 weeks ago, after paying Czar a visit at BookGrove (his newly opened Reading Center for kids) we checked out the Archery Range just beside it. Me, my brother E.J., Czar and Weng took a stab at the sport;i was pretty useless at it at first, but eventually, i got the hang of it and progressed to actually hitting the target with some amount of consistency, i have to admit. :) It was pretty fun. I even broke into a sweat after a while; never thought archery was a strenuous kind of sport. Can't wait for the next session.

Some thoughts about Book6 (Some Spoilers here)

Like the lovable geek that i am, i was among the first in line to get a reserved copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Finished reading it in less than a day. Mulled things over in my head. Re-read it a couple of times. Even read some opinions of some fellow HP fiends in one of those online forums. I've finally decided that i'm thoroughly disappointed in ol' J.K's latest installment..or maybe i'm just getting old. I'm sure she thought about writing it in a style that would suit tweens and teens..along the same age as Harry of course. Coz when i was reading it i kept wondering if i bought a Harry Potter book and not a Sweet Valley High or Babysitter's Club book. Oh, it had its moments, such as the 'You-No-Poo' part..and it was kinda fun reading about their love lives for a while..but besides that, what? here are some of my qualms about it:

NOTE: There is a reason why i mentioned the word 'Spoilers' in the heading. DON'T go telling people who don't want to be told the story before reading it. That's just plain rude, and it says something about your upbringing. So please don't bring shame to your mothers and keep your yaps shut. I'm not going to mention names, but 'bato bato sa langit...'..u know the rest.

1. Not much character development. Harry's has become less angst-ridden than in the 5th book, but Ron's character took his place. Hermione simply seemed like this bitchy-ass selosa woman and not at all the sympathetic, warm intellectual she was previously. I thought she had a genuine thirst for knowledge, but here she's shown as a sore loser who hates 'not being the best' in something for a change. (Harry outguns her in Potions thanks to his trusty dog-earred book) And to think she wouldn't even visit Hagrid when Aragog died!! That's just mean. Plus, no mention of SPEW at all. All Dumbledore was was this Lame Grandfatherly figure to Harry..

2. Quite a lot of hormones flying about, but that was to be expected. I just wish Rowling didn't focus so much on it, if i wanted to read about that i would've picked up a Cosmo or watched ElimiDate or something.

3. This one was simply a major BOO-BOO on Rowling's part...dunno whoelse has noticed this error but in one of the chapters it's mentioned that during Potions class Malfoy had a facial expression that was an uncanny resemblance 'to the time Hermione punched him in the face.' or something like that. Punched! She never punched him; that was in the movie. She slaps him in the 3rd book.

4. Not a lot of new magical stuff was introduced. Or i suppose Rowling thought she's invented quite enough already; but in that case i disagree: this is what people look forward to the most..it's what made her HP series so great in the first place. And all she could muster were some feeble Zombies floating in a lake? [incidentally, doesn't that seem familiar?? When i read that part, i immediately thought about LOTR]

5. Scrimgeour wasn't impressive. The new Minister left me a bit cold. Again, was it intentional on Rowling's part?

6. I can possibly understand what Ron sees in Hermione, but what does she see in him?? I've already known they'd wind up together, Rowling had been throwing hints into my face about it since the 4th and even the 3rd book. Harry and Ginny was my bet too, i love it when i'm right heheh. ;) But i kinda got annoyed when Harry does an alla-Spiderman/Batman on Ginny and explains that 'they could never be' if they 'keep this up' or something..hahah!! And so they split up. But i'm guessing they'll be glued at the lips again once Harry finishes off ol' Tommy..

7. Why couldn't Fawke's cry over Bill's face instead of singing all over Hogwarts? Didn't even help Dumbledore when he was helpless. Dumb bird! Although..can Dumbledore be resurrected w/ Fawke's help? He better; so he can redeem himself!

The stuff i liked reading about were Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes and their cool merchandise, Luna's lines and even the quidditch games..

guess i shouldnt've gotten so hyped-up about it..i'll just wait patiently for the 4th movie and the last book..

I'm not the only geek out there..

I was mildy amused when my brother showed me an article yesterday that he got from the web. Seems that i'm as geeky as the astronomers who want to name the 10th planet of the solar system "Xena"..apparently its scientific name is UB313..doesn't yell "ATTITUDE"! like Xena does though. Can't wait to tell my dog about it..

Wala. Its just a blog. Read it.

waaaah wala nanaman pahinga this week!!!! Ang daming gagawin! Walang time to play! Dull girl na ako! Hahahaha. Nah....may time pa naman..just have to make some and be sure not a minute is wasted doing nothing over the weekend. Anyway, just wanted to post a new blog kase medyo stale na 'tong blog ko. Nakakahiya na. The pic is just something i wanted to include, for no particular reason. Bye for now! I'm feeling kinda crazy now. Please excuse me.

I'm Backkk

Hey a'll! Had a great 3 weeks vay-cay in Qatar with my folks...thought it was gonna be a bummer of a holiday but it actually wasn't bad..could've been spiced-up but i'm not complaining much. its been 4 hours since my landing (earth people, take me to your leader, i come in peace) and i'm still pepped up with caffeine...from Costa Coffee at the Dubai Airport...from the tea and coffee during my 2 flights...from inhaling the rich aroma of freshly ground Arab coffee beans that not surprisingly burst open in my luggage..what i'm typing out now is really junk...i'm SOOOOOOOO high right now! Wheeeeeeeeee! Not to worry, when my nerves have settled down i'll be able to give you a better edited account of my stay in Arabia...as of now.....just take this post with a grain of salt, i plead temporary coffee-junkie insanity! yaaaaaah..oh yeah, and its good to be back home...! bye for now! mwah mwah!

Xena Galaxia Betty

It's uncanny how most of my blog entries are composed at such ungodly hours..seems that i get creative (or i simply refuse to be bored) around this hour; kinda like this guy in The Amytyville Horror who got up every morning at 3:15am. Spooky..

Anyway i've decided on type about my pet golden retriever. That's her full name as the title of this blog. Her second and third names were given by my Kuya; "Anger Management" and "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist" inspired him to afflict her with such, uhm, 'interesting' names. Actually, her third name should be spelled "Mmmmmbetty".

As a "Dog Person", i'm quite interested in virtually any canine (although i'm not too eager to rough-horse with a pitbull, doberman or rotweiller, and i don't think Poodles are dogs)..so when my brother's girlfriend's mom gave me a 1 and a half month old puppy last August, it was a kind of love at first sight moment. Little did i know that this cute little fuzzy-wuzzy critter was gonna be a non-stop saliva-producing, plant-assasinating chewaholic. Well, she's still cute though, even if she now can reach my chest standing up. And she's only 8 months old, which can only mean she'll be getting bigger. AND she still thinks she's little! She's the only dog i know who thinks she's a lap dog. And hey, visit her dogster too while your at it: http://dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=112243

I guess she must've been around me a lot whenever i'd be emailling, or scrambling aganst the clock to complete projects and assignments, coz a while ago i caught her pounding away at the keyboard, paws and tongue and all. It was pretty amusing, then it became annoying when i returned to my computer chair and had a 20kg (guesstimate, i can barely carry her anymore) furball in my lap slapping away at the keys while i was trying to draft an email. I've let her out to pee or poop now, so i've got a few moments of peace to type this out. Anyway, too bad i don't have any photographic evidence of this new 'trick' of hers.

Care Bear Count Down 5 4 3 2 1...

Was browsing through some friends' homepages and blogspots. Came across Czar's latest blog post and took this test on one of my favorite cartoons as a child. hehe. Don't worry- i'm not offended or anything, in fact it rather cracked me up. As Kuya Ben would say: Coolness...

Chain Letters

I've just been going through my inbox in yahoo and re-reading some of the stuff that's in it..most were correspondings from friends, family and classmates...a while lot of it were forwarded stuff- jokes, sentimental twaddle, sweet sad gooey stories...and a WHOLE LOTTA chain mail letters! Now whenever i see a chain letter in my inbox, my first impulse is to send mail to whomever had enough time to waste just to send that to me and countless other people (0-5 for bad luck, 6-10 for so-so luck etc..you know the drill) and disown them as my friend/acquiantance. The hell with you! I thought you were an intelilgent human being, intelligent enough to be added in my yahoo address book!! Looks like i was wrong. However, if i'm in a rather good mood (unless upon seeing the unread email puts me in a nasty mood) i usually give it a try and read it. Some are pretty good; they give good sound advice or tell beautifully written stories (good enough to print out and keep in the bathroom for future re-reading hehehe) but 99.9% is CRAP. I especially hate it when someone sends a chain letter that has been fowarded a billion times to a trillion people and you have scrollllllllllllllllllllllllllll alllll the wayyy downnn. Plus the fact that most of them vile things (they really sould be considered as vile as Spam) usually try to give you good luck and then after reading the whole passage, threaten you with bad luck unless you send it to so-many people; the more people you send it to, the better your luck will be.

Don't get me wrong. I know the purpose of REAL chain letters. ( not the electronic mail ones, most of which are pathetically fake, the ones which genuinely want and DO help people in different ways) But how do you know which one is real when you see one? It kinda got me thinking (and researching) about them, and this is some info about chainletters that i came up with:

>Around 1900, chain letters were influenced by increasing literacy, international mail and postcards, and changing attitudes about religion and miracles. Also chain letters themselves accumulated new technologies of increasing replication.
>Until the 1970's most paper luck chain letters were copied by hand or typed. When photocopiers became more common there was some debate if one could use them for chain letters and still receive good luck. Almost every letter that has circulated since 1980 is a photocopy, included originally hand written ones. But late generation photocopies must eventually be retyped because of image degeneration
>Hand written letters are often difficult to read and thus many variations are introduced as the copier tries to guess what is written. With photocopying, after some 15 or so generations the text becomes wiggly, spotted and unreadable in places
>If the recipient takes the letter as a joke, its promises and threats have no power. (REALLY??? WOW, MOST PEOPLE MUST READ THIS PARTICULAR LINE)
>Most people send chain letters for the luck it promises to deliver, some because although they know they will gain nothing from it, they won't lose anything either (kinda like a 'wadda hell' attitude) but some send them due to fear (of whatever the chain letter claims to do to them). Here are some choice examples that threaten the poor reader:
>>>. . . and if he believes not this writing, and the commandments, I will send many plagues upon him, and consume both him and his children and his cattle, . . . [Letter of Jesus Christ, 1915, but text is hundreds of years old]
>>>M. Francesco Monthey, not having taken this letter seriously, saw his home ruined nine days after having received this letter. [Translation, France, 1928]
>>>One woman made fun of it and on the 13th day her daughter went blind. [U.S., postcard, 1941]
>>>Detective Segunda B. Villa now of the City of Baguio who laughed at this Chain of good luck, met instant death in accident on June 14th, 1948. [International, 1949.
>>>Don't make fun or laugh at this because something bad might happen to you or your family. [Philippine / U.S., 1984].

>The statement "this is no joke" first appeared on the Luck by Mail type in 1952 and was soon universal.
> Among its many variations, the concluding earliest phrase "It Works." postscript in the was mailed anonymously in May 1979 to an Oxnard, California address

In this section i will briefly explain the characteristic features of a chain letter and How it (handwritten, photocopied or electronic wise) usually (ahem) "works":
(1) Brevity. A widespread luck chain from 1905-17 had about 100 words and was usually distributed by handwritten postcards.
(2) Secularity. Luck chains originating in the 1900's dropped claims of divine authorship, delivery from heaven to earth, granting protection from fire or weapons, divine punishment for disbelief, and miracles generally. A Saint, missionary or military officer may be attributed as the author of the letter, but never Jesus. Promises of good luck and threats of bad luck exploited vague popular superstitions rather than naive piety.
(3) Copy quota. Chain letters state a minimum number of copies that the recipient is encouraged to distribute.
(4) Deadline. This task is to be completed within a stated period.
(5) Waiting period. According to most letters, one must wait a certain number of days before receiving good luck.
(6) Testimonials. All English language luck chain letters since the 1930's contain accounts of fortune and misfortune allegedly experienced by prior recipients of the letter. These testimonials are told in the third person, usually of a named individual.
(7) Circumnavigation. Almost all luck chains since 1910 have either (1) declared they are to go "all over" or around the world, or (2) claimed a certain number of completed circumnavigations.
(8) Lists. When someone signs their name on a chain letter, a recipient may faithfully copy this name. And another person may sign on, and both names may be copied. The growing list suggests to others that they in turn sign on. Thus chain letters often accumulated long lists of senders. (AND ANNOYINGLY BECOMES LONGER AND LONGER)

Of course, the best thing that can ever happend with a chain letter would be if someone (or preferrably everyone) breaks the chain and everyone lives happily ever after, without dying of plague or worry. Some advice: If you ever receive a chain mail letter (which is a 9/10 chance), ask yourself this: Will the person or people i am sending this to
a.) Butcher me using a blunt object
b.) Assemble a VooDoo doll having bits of my hair, toe clippings and other organic substances from my body/possessions
c.) Just give me the dedma thing Pinoys LOVE to do, or continue on pretending to be my friend

Sure, do send me chain letters especially if the content is really good. Just please PLEASE edit it first so that it is just a plain old email and not a plain old annoying email. I hope this and all the details about chain letters was as informative and interesting as it was a pleasure (and a therapy!) for me to type.

Tell at least 10 people to visit my blog or risk the following to happen to you:
-you die
-you fall through an open manhole and then you die (a stinky death)
-all your teeth will fall out of your head and you die.
-you will have permanent body odour that no amount of Rexona, Mum or AX deo can ever disguise and then you die (smellier and stinkier than if you were to die in a manhole
- you will be impotent forever (viagra will only make things worse) and die that way.

Nyahahaha

Invisibility Cloak Close to a Reality?
The Telegraph tells us that two physicists at the University of Pennsylvania are creating the invisibility cloak Harry owns, which acts as a shield that makes objects vanish by reducing the light around them.
Dr Andrea Alù and Prof Nader Engheta, of the University of Pennsylvania, rely on plasmons, ripples in the oceans of electrons at the surface of every object, to achieve their effect. If made to oscillate at the correct frequency, the energy from the light is harvested by the plasmon and converted back to light, cancelling the light scattered by the object and rendering it "nearly invisible to an observer".
Thanks to Veritaserum for the tip.

Heehee I'm so bored

Your Seduction Style: The Dandy

You're a non-traditionalist, not limited by gender roles or expectations. Your sexuality is more fluid than that - and you defy labels or categories. It's hard to pin you down, and that's what's fascinating about you. You have the psychology of both a male and a female, and you can relate to anyone.

What Is Your Seduction Style?

I just love answering these quizzes ;)

You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

My brain is female, just like me :p

Ain't it too true ;)

Your Brain is 80.00% Female, 20.00% Male

Your brain leans female You think with your heart, not your head Sweet and considerate, you are a giver But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

What Gender Is Your Brain?

You Are 23 Years Old

23 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Within Eek 

Kumbaya

I originally intended to decorate this place with pictures and stuff about eek! the cat: one of my favorite cartoons during my youth. This place still looks like its the website of a mortuary, but i figured i could give you some information on this beloved blue-tongued feline. You can check for more stuff about eek at this site: http://eekthecat.8m.com/

For now, you can read this:
Eek lives in the town of McTropolis. Eek is the most caring individual one can imagine. He has a big heart. He loves everyone but he hates bugs. He always puts others safety, needs and comfort before his own. He always says, "It never hurts to help!" but he is usually proven wrong in the physical sense. Eek often uses the word "kumbaya" as an exclaimatory word in many situations. The word "kumbaya" comes from the West Indies "pidgin-English" word for "come by here" and is a well-known folk song which in turn came from the original Afro-American gospel song, "Come By Here, Lord". In the episode "Mountain Groan" the song is sung near the end of the show by the campers sitting around the campfire.

It is interesting to note that Eek can talk with all animals and most humans but cannot converse with those in his immediate household, i.e., Mom, Wendy Elizabeth and J.B.Mom does a lot of house cleaning and is a student of foreign languages, especially Spangalese. She is apparently a single mom.

Wendy Elizabeth and J.B. are the children. They are normal kids -- whiney and spoiled. They watch a lot of television. Their favorite show is The Squishy Bearz Rainbow of Enchanted Fun Minute.In one episode (Eek's Funny Thing That He Does), Wendy Elizabeth calls her brother Johnny Braincloud. Could this really be what "J.B." stands for or is Wendy Elizabeth just being funny?

It's been a while

Ever wonder why time flies whenever you're having such a good time, AND simultaneously it has this disobliging tendency of speeding up when you want it to slow down? Loads of stuff has happened,but, me not being the responsible blogger and noting everything down here the minute it happens, i tend to "stockpile" it. Now i've realized that i've got so much to type down that i don't even know where to start, much less how to begin. I'm no writer. I type the way i talk; giving little regard for how my words may sound and simply blurting witty sarcastic one-liners (which i used to do a lot when i was little: it was cute then, i'm not so sure if it still is now..hmm.) Well, during this spurt of insomnia (i've noticed that i usually start mini projects in the dead of the night: the same way i registered on friendster, come to think of it) i figured i gotta give it a try. I've been navigating my way around the site and i've finally figured out how to post pics and ta-da! Now there's a statcounter! i'm so proud of myself. hehe. i was never any good at HTML; once during the 6th grade i asked my brother to send me a color chart which i let rot in my inbox..(good thing it's still there though, might be able to use it) As a new year's resolution (yes, that was a month ago, but you don't know this yet so i'm telling you now) i'll do my best to post at least SOMETHING here.. i know this blog seems very juvenile and i'm sure there's some 12 year old who can create better and more professional HTML code than i. Darn brats..
