Youniversity

I recently took a personality test online:

http://youniverse.com/statement/module/PersonalityModule/New_Personality_module

Basically, there are a bunch of pictures in a page and it has you pick out what is most you...

Here are my results:

MOODS: Easy Rider - You're romantic in your outlook and love the simiplicity of nature. You can be a little nostalgic and love revisiting familiar places and memories. When it comes to art, you're definitely unconventional; you are drawn to the beauty of the human body - and the opportunity to express your identity through it. Your music collection is your treasure. You're a focused listener and you're always on the look out for something new.

FUN: Escape Artist - You like simple pleasures - sometimes there's nothing more relaxing. You really value your 'quiet time' - time to recharge, to reconnect with yourself. For kicks, you like to switch off and immerse yourself in another world. You are thoughtful and imaginative, cultured and creative. You like to look at life from a different perspective. When it comes to holidays, you reckon they should always be indulgent - a very special treat and a chance to recharge your batteries in luxurious surroundings. After all, you work hard enough the rest of the time.

HABITS: High-Time Roller - You love the luxury of taking time for yourself. There's nothing quite as enjoyable as relaxing, unwinding and living a pampered life. And why not? You deserve it. Your choice of drink reflects extravagant but classic taste. You probably like to get dressed up, go out, and be seen in all the glamorous haunts. As for the home you have very cool and contemporary taste. You like your surroundings to be simple and functional.

SOCIAL: Thoughtful - For you friendship is all about being there for one another. You can't imagine life without your best friends. And they're the first place you go when you need advice, or a shoulder to cry on. When you think of freedom - you think of love. The comfort of being loved in the warmth of your family lets you to be free to be yourself.

I think they hit pretty right on based on just picking pictures.

Take your personality test too and see if they hit the mark as well.

Playing Dead

This morning after I took a shower, I decided to fix the bed. I was spreading the comforter on Ro's side and noticed something brown.. I thought it was just a bunch of my hair rolled up but it was a freakin' spider.... I jumped back a little, but noticed it wasn't moving so I thought Ro must have killed it while he was sleeping last night, rolling over and crushing it. Just to be sure, I slapped the bed to see if it would move, it didn't so I just left the bed half made and went on getting ready for work.

5 minutes later, I looked at the spider again, deciding whether or not to pick it up and drop it in the toilet and flush it away.. It looked brown and nasty, so I just left it there..

5 minutes pass again and as I was watching the traffic report, I decided to look at the bed and what do you know, that beeyatch spider was running for his life under the damn bed!!!

It hella TRICKED ME!!!!!!!!!

Caution: if you think a spider is dead, kill it anyways, cause it might just be playing dead.

JELL-O

So I was at lunch today with Jason, Cliff and Isis and for dessert Jason got some Jello... We started talking about jello ingredients and Jay said something like "its made out of cow hooves".. I totally did not believe him when he said that...

How is jello made out of a cow's hoof?

I mean, we've all made or have seen someone make jello at least once in our lives. All you do is get the powdery stuff and mix it with water, put it in the fridge and BAM there's your jello! Who would have thought that powdery stuff is made with cow hooves! Did you ever think an animal's foot would turn into a dessert?

I still didn't believe him, so he went on the internet to look it up:

The production of gelatin starts with the boiling of bones, skins, and hides of cows and pigs, a process that releases the protein-rich collagen from animal tissues. The collagen is boiled and filtered numerous times, dried, and ground to a powder.

OMG gross, I will never look at jello the same again!

Color Me Mine

For Mara's 7th birthday, she wanted to go to Color Me Mine and bring Em and Irina along so that's what we did on Saturday..

Here is a picture of the girls in the van, excited to paint some ceramics!
Cherra, Em and Irina all painted plates, Mara painted Tinkerbell and Ate painted a soap dispenser for her upstairs bathroom..

Here's the mug that I painted:

After we painted for what felt like hours (cause Cherra kept starting over), we headed off to the Alagon's to have dinner.. Raul bought dinner from Barrio Fiesta and Ong Pin and he made his infamous Molten Lava Cake and Panacotta w/ berries.. I swear, my brother-in-law needs to open up his own bakery cause those bad boys were off the chain!

Happy 7th Birthday, Meezie!

SATC movie..

LOVED IT! I think the parts that really got me were when............ hahaha jk, I'm not going to spoil it for those who still haven't seen it...

I need to watch it again though.. I was distracted while watching it the other night. I'll probably watch it with Noi. I know she's been bugging to have me watch the movie with her too..

And it is true - you dont have to really know what happened in the series to understand the movie. ANYONE can watch it and know what's going on..

Sex and the City.... DONE!

I finally finished watching the SATC series and like every girl out there - totally LOVED it... I watched all the seasons, every single episode, every single DVD (thanks to Nonoi) - and managed to finish that bad boy within a few months only cause I didn't watch it daily....

Watching the series made me think a lot about friendships, relationships and all the drama that comes with it... Even though it's all fiction, I've come to really appreciate what Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte have gone through in their lives... Even though they're all so busy with work and everything else, they still make time for one another and meet up (I'm guessing once a week) and eat at their cafe (or whatever bar) and update each other on everything.

My favorite character? Miranda..

I'm totally ready to watch THE MOVIE.. Let's see what all the hype is about.. I can't wait! I told Nette we can dress up and drink martinis! Mine will just be juice in a martini glass... BOO! lol

Ro's addition...

Halloween is going to SUCK this year!

Reading rut....

For some reason, I cannot pick up a book for the life of me... I have a couple of books that I'm currently reading (Eclipse and Baby Laughs) and about a handful more sitting around my house just waiting for me to open them....

I don't know why I can't stand reading right now! Is it the weather? You'd think the cloudy weather would want me to cozy up next to the fire with a nice book - but nooooo? What's wrong with me?!?!?!?
