Blind Spot

Alone and Laughing

What with the boredom all over me, i was checking my previous blogs out and found myself laughing at myself. How could i be so melodramatic with those stuff i said? Was that me? haha... Where the heck did i get those "inspiration/motivation" for writing, to start with? The latter parts were okay; t'was just about life and my experiences, but the first ones were like... Why did i post them here in the first place when people can see them (oh yes, i can hear my friends chuckling as they read those), and could probably use them to blackmail me? But that's okay, though. It's alright. At least, i was able to blog and it made me happy when i wrote those, for sure. I just never thought i could be like, straightforward, true, open, so real about myself. It really wasn't me, i''m telling you. But maybe, that's what it's all about. The least you expect yourself of being capable of doing something, it turns out to be the opposite.

P.S. You know why i am writing this? Because i'm dying to blog but my mind has nothing to give me right now. I had a few ideas on what to blog but now i forgot them. Proscrastination really ruins everything! I could've been reading my supposedly blogs right now. tsk tsk

Simple pleasures. Perfectly simple. Simply perfect.

bikey schmikey: haah.. this cannot be compared. i don't even know what's in a bike that i love so badly. maybe i've mistaken it for a horse. it's a perfect prop for a candid shot, don't you think?(the camwhore that i am).


under the rain: anything goes under it. i'm taking my shoes off and run wild feeling the cold grass on my feet. umbrellas are a spoiler so throw them away. be a retard under the rain. it's fun. trust me.


coffee: my all-time bff. never fails me. steadies my nerves. and keeps me company.


walking under a sunny-cloudy sky in a windy day: just that. with or without company, i'ma go for this one. feeling the soft sun on my cheeks and the wind dusting my careless hair. tomorrow i'm gonna do it again.



camwhoring at definitely anywhere, anytime: randomness is a talent. spontaneity is a gift. camera-shy is a not a word in my vocabulary.




sands and surf and nothing to do: my ultimate retreat. when all else fails, the beach fills me. nothing compares to it's breathtaking glory. a perfect backdrop for my camwhore-ness.




eat, drink, and be merry: pure fun+good friends+happy drinks= lip licking goodness!


roadtrip: tapping my fingers on the car's dashboard to the beat of country music, heading towards nowhere, just hanging around and stop every now and then to pose for the cam-- is my definition of spontaneous.




slumber party: i've always been dreaming of a perfect slumber party with my closest friends and stay up all night and then wake up the following morning with my big toe on my friend's nose.


water guns: these are sweet. kids stuff are so much fun i am willing to trade my license just to have this scene over and over again.


laugh out loud: nothing is as relaxing as a hard, jaw-locking, hearty laugh. i'd better laugh for 10 mins than go to the gym for 30. aww.. the joy of laughing.

...11 and still counting... tick..tock..tick..tock...

My Personal Feedback (from someone virtual)

"Starting with motivations, your assessment shows that you have balanced, average interests in people and data, and less motivation to work with material things such as tools, equipment, or machinery. The kind of tasks that will appeal to you will involve information that can be measured or expressed in some logical way. You would enjoy manipulating data as text or numbers to create reports, and you would be glad to have in-depth, face-to-face discussions with others about those reports. You will generally choose to solve problems by accumulating facts and interacting with people. However, with your minimal interest in mechanical things, you might be frustrated if you had to manipulate data and communicate with others via complicated software, devices, or equipment. Any tools you use should be simple and reliable because you don't enjoy tinkering with machinery. Summing up your overall mindset, you are able to cultivate human relations and manipulate abstract data, but you prefer to avoid complicated gadgets and machinery. A career that fully engages your interest will definitely involve facts and figures and working with others.


Regarding your personality and how that fits with the opportunities you might consider, you probably already know that you are reasonably obliging and cooperative, but that is only the beginning. Kim Donna, your scores show that you are a strong team player and, while you will often put the team's goals ahead of your own, you won't always stay in the background or hang back with the crowd. When you know that the team is lagging or taking the wrong direction, you aren't afraid to step forward and put your own ideas on the line and even aggressive opposition will not stop you. However, you don't like disruption and, being instinctively agreeable, you can function well as a mediator and you will strive to restore peace. This preference for harmony doesn't mean that you're a pushover __ you can make tough decisions and convince others that you are right, but your preferred tactic is persuasion not bullying.


So how do you deal with both the humdrum of daily routine and the sudden impact of a crisis? Your personality traits show that you are right on target for the technicalities of modern work: your assessment results indicate that you are conscientious and well organized, with enough flexibility to deal with most challenges. Although you can cope with unexpected demands, you are more comfortable with routine and will have no trouble following established guidelines. What employers will probably value most is your efficiency and your prudence. If possible, you want to avoid unstructured environments as you function best with a predictable workflow in an orderly workspace. For optimal performance, you will probably elect to set your own schedule so that you can manage the details carefully.


Your attention to detail also shows in your approach to planning. Whenever you can, you prefer to follow the old military credo, "Think twice, act once" and you like to be well prepared. You will, no doubt, have a reliable strategy for dealing with a variety of problems and you can usually modify your tactics as situations develop. The gist of the careerXact appraisal of your character is that you are systematic and well-grounded but still able to react to abrupt demands. This combination of traits makes for an outstanding performance in a stable environment with random challenge.


You know how you react to most workplace issues, but what is the best environment for you to do your best work? You don't need to work with others face-to-face all the time and you can cope with some isolation, but you will achieve your highest productivity when working with a group in a lively setting. Because you are friendly and outgoing, Kim Donna, you could also commit to a large group in a noisy, chaotic environment but not for a prolonged period. In a group situation, you participate well because you have the ability to present your ideas with enthusiasm, while at the same time listening for feedback and casual debate. Your instinct may be to be the one doing the talking, but you will yield the spotlight to others because you are not driven to be the center of everyone's attention and you occasionally need time alone to reflect on your efforts and plan your work.


In general, you are open to new acquaintances and fresh views, but you examine both new people and new ideas carefully before accepting them. While you enjoy change and new input, you are able to tolerate some monotony. Consequently, ideal work for you should require frequent interaction with small to medium-sized groups, the support of established procedures as well as development of new protocols, and variable contact with newcomers. Extended periods of isolation or total immersion in-group projects would be equally frustrating for you. Long term assignments must include challenge and opportunity for growth.


Finally, work often creates stress and how you deal with stress is crucial not only for job achievement but also for job satisfaction. The best job in the world is no good to you if it makes you sick with anxiety. You will be glad to know that your personality profile reveals that is usually relaxed and well able to cope with pressure. While you can be pressed into "losing your cool," you regain your composure remarkably well and you find moderate adversity stimulating. You tend to avoid stress and this is a good thing because high pressure for a long period will disturb you. If you must manage a heavy workload in tiresome conditions with unreasonable deadlines, you are not likely to break down but you will need to exert yourself to maintain your focus. You are sensitive to the emotions of others and yourself, but this is kept in perspective and you are not bothered by the normal give-and-take of human relations. You are generally calm and, while aware of stress, you do not let it stop you from achieving your goals. On the whole, whether you are required to give a fast response to a crisis or methodical attention to a routine task, you will work well under most pressures."
