Online quizzes these days are attractive to me. Probably I'm in a get-to-know-thyself mood, well I think its healthy. Why not try it? Hmmm, maybe next time I will take one of those IQ tests!
You scored as Romanticist. Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

Recants and mea culpa speeches are common political maneuvers here in the Philippines. Day by day the political situation deteriorates to the point that monkeys could better run the country. Shishh! What a sorry sad state. We have been rocked by at least 3 people power (read mob rule), yes I know your reactions would be something to this effect, "But it is for the people...". For the people my ass...more like "I did it to beautify my ass" so that I will be a hero. (That reminds me of Munchausen syndrome)
Oh well, could I just be comforted by the fact that all countries have political problems and some are in totally dire straits? Could you name some?

Arrrgg... I feel utterly useless. Imbecile. To spend time with me is an absolute waste of time. F*ck! What is wrong with me? (I'm not in some sort of identity crisis, hell no!). (Sigh) Why can't I improve, I feel so miserable...someone help me.
Picture me as a shadow trapped beneath an abyss where the chasms only echo my voice faintly.
Do you feel the same way?

There are times when I utterly hate chain mails, don't you? However, there are those even though their authenticity is questionable, I find them appealing at times heartwarming. I wish to share one with you...
This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way
through until the end! (After the story, there are some
very interesting facts!):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology.
The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called "Smile."
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, youngest son, myhusband and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.
He said, "Good day, Ma'am! " as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.
I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.
I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you."
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope."
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that onlybecause of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it.
Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings
and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who mayread this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
If you think this story has touched you in any way, please send this
to everyone you know.
There is an Angel sent to watch over you.
In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.
Keep this going

"Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and
Scientists can never earn as much as Business
Executives and Sales People."
This theorem can now be supported by a
mathematical equation based on the following two
postulates:
1. Knowledge is Power.
2. Time is Money.
As every engineer knows:
Power = Work / Time
Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money
It follows that:
Knowledge = Work/Money.
Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge.
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money
approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of
work done.
Conclusion:
The less you know, the more you make.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ever wondered why you failed in a test even though
you studied your lessons?
Well, we've found out that Study=Fail.
Let us take that:
Study = No Fail
No Study = Fail
Study+No Study = No Fail + Fail
Study(No + 1) = Fail(No + 1);
Cancel out the (No + 1) as equation is balanced.
Therefore, Study = Fail.
So why study?

| Your Hidden Talent |
 You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system.
And while this may not seem big, it can be.
It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes.
You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices. |
Interesting!!! It kinda hits right on the bullseye!

Arrg...I can't believe this, I'm starting to make this my rant page instead of a place of enlightenment, hahah! In any case, I would like to say that the blog is experiencing design problems because of curious little Amiah! In any case, he would try to remedy the problem in the soonest possible time.
I live you with a verse on the bible (Oh, how I love that book!)
Son, learn what I teach you and never forget what I tell you to do. Listen to what is wise and try to understand it. Yes, beg for knowledge; plead for insight. Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure. ( prov. 2: 1 - 4, NAB)
I love this passage!

Hoc tempore obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit - In these days friends are won through flattery, the truth gives birth to hate. (Terence)
I just had a headache! Damn, asshole...who the hell do you think you are? The alpha-male?! MotherF*******! You life is screwed up with no particular direction. Without purpose. You are like the water that spirals down the funnel, inevitably you would go down under!
All I can say is you are an egotist! Practice what you say my friend! Arrrggg! I don't know probably he is in his own wonderland and that the world revolves around him. I wish I could kick his ass. I wish I could. Damn society. Damn conscience. Damn friendship. Damn you asshole!
