Personality Test

Youniverse Personality TestYouniverse Personality Test
Ok, so I'm a bit of a sucker for this sorts. But hey, it somehow gets to you right? I mean, it's almost as if this particular generator-test-type-of-thing can describe your whole being. I know most people would find ways and means to look for something or even someone who can try to sum them up as a whole person. From traits to interests. From political views to favorite delicacies. Let's face it, one way or another we're all vain and a bit narcistic sometimes.
I'm diggin' the slide since it sort of looks neat and sleek. Don't you think so?
Take it. :)

I've got a list of movies I just finished watching but I'm not about to post another movie topic here.
Let me just get this off my chest.
I almost blew my cover about keeping the identity of my crush hidden. I've been cursing myself over and over because my face (and I friggin' felt it too) turned red. Ok, so I'm pretty much bad at this. But I've managed to divert their attention to another person whom I'm supposedly having a fling with (by which of no truth, none whatsoever).
I'm ashamed of myself being too mindful about what other people would say if they found out who she was. She's not exactly the prettiest of them all. I guess I just like her in the inside.

I'm not in the mood to go back to class, sit in front of a boooorrrriinngg teacher reading everything off from her Powerpoint-outlined lesson. Her methodological way of teaching is by far the most uninteresting process, ever. (dot dot dot)

Listen to this:

Closer - Ne-Yo

I'm not typically into this sort of thing, but I like the beat. Makes me wanna dance. :)

Kaba Modern

It was not long ago that I happened to browse around YouTube for videos to amuse me.
I stumbled upon a group of kids dancing as if it took them months to do all those moves at precise speed and stroke.
I'm not one to say that they are really the best, but their style has impressed me.
Some people think that they're The All-Star, but no.
The name's Kaba Modern. Kaba's short for Kababayan. And yes, they are partly Filipino.
Okay, so I've been too cynical about most of us only recognizing Filipino talent if they become famous abroad. But to be honest with you I never really thought that they were of the same race.
I'm not exactly familiar with what most dance moves are called, but through them, I know just about half of it. :p

So here's the clip that had made a mark in my life (too cheesy?, lemme rephrase that).
They made a mark in my head. (better?)



They even joined Randy Jackson's America's Best Dance Crew. It was a stiff competition between them and Jabbawockeez. Sad to say they didn't exactly win it but hell they stood out among those hippity hoppity finalists. And if you're bored out of your mind and interested in watching some of their clips, just search for Kaba Modern in America's Best Dance Crew on YT. :)

Watching them lights a fire in my heart. Makes me wanna break into a dance now. Hoo! Ha!
I like to move it, move it.

Made of Honor


Made of Honor
Made of Honor revolves around Tom and Hannah, who have been platonic friends for 10 years. He's a serial dater, while she wants marriage but hasn't found Mr. Right. Just as Tom is starting to think that he is relationship material after all, Hannah gets engaged. When she asks Tom to be her "maid" of honor, he reluctantly agrees just so he can attempt to stop the wedding and woo her.

I guess I've been a fan of Patrick Dempsey since his teeny bopper days. Loved his teen flicks, especially Can't Buy Me Love. His big comeback on Grey's Anatomy didn't interest me, none whatsoever. I don't know, maybe it's because he looked too old and worn out in the series, even though a lot of people seemed to render him "too hot" and "dreamy". Guess that's why he was tagged as Mr. Dreamy there, duh Avy.

Anyway, talking about the film. I saw the poster at the movies and became really drawn to it. Because, again he was the lead character. Anyway, I didn't wait for a dvd copy on it from one of my favorite pirated dvd stores. (Again, I am not ashamed to say that I do buy pirated dvd copies.) So I basically downloaded it through Azureus again, which never fails to amaze me. Got to watch it the day after I finished downloading it. Not exactly a clear copy but hey, as long as I can hear them and see them, it's fine with me.

The movie seemed to be too fast-forward. Didn't show exactly how Hannah had come to accept the marriage proposal from Colin. Somehow, throughout the movie, it makes you think that maybe Hannah was up to something. Trying to setup Tom to let him show his true feelings for her. But then again, maybe it was just me thinking that. Anyway, I did some of sort of research regarding Patrick Dempsey (playing Tom), and he was a juggler before. So that juggling with the plates thing he did in one scene wasn't choreographed, nor was he even trained for it. (Too much information) His guy friends were all so supportive about him trying to win back Hannah. Helping him out in memorizing all what needs to be know about being "the best made of honor" there ever was.
Then again, there was never any depth to the characters. I guess I expected too much from it, just remembered that it is just a romantic-comedy flick. But still, a feel good movie. So if ever you want to watch this, make sure you have your friends along with you. Guy friends or girl friends.

I'm giving this movie 3.5 stars.

------------------------------------------------

Somehow, I became too excited about going back to school. And expected too much from the course. How unfortunate for me to have the same professor on the 2 major subjects I took. I don't think I can even learn anything from her other than how old her son is and how old she was when she first learned to ride a bike. Some people would talk about their lives and their experiences but of course with a lesson at the end. But with her, it's just different. It's like reading a blog filled with nothing but ramblings. Nothing to learn from. I didn't know that she'd be like a teacher in secondary level, where the teacher would mostly just read it off a book. Even though she's reading it through powerpoint presentation (techie professor), she's sort of just translating it in Tagalog. Where in fact, we do understand simple English.

I don't care which universities, colleges or school she has taught at already, it doesn't even show in the way she handles the class. I was thinking of someone who often speaks in riddles, makes the class THINK and not just read and memorize. Oh expectations.

I know I've exerted too much effort in getting all my paperworks done, school records and all those stuff passed to them, but it seems like I'm wasting my time with all of this. I guess, going back to school wasn't exactly a good idea. Oh well.

Then again, at work. My colleague, who happens to be either too naive or just wants to test me, keeps questioning about my sexuality and my experiences. Which of course is a bit awkward, but good thing is, she's decent enough to ask me about those in private. It's also funny how almost everyone at work is very much intrigued and interested in knowing who I actually have a crush on. So much for office romance.
