Cool Tests

I am still awake at this very hour. I checked on my email and edited our groups. I went over this email that my classmate sent. It's pretty cool.. here's the link to it.. http://www.blogthings.com/

Here are some of the tests that I've answered..





You Have A Type A- Personality



A-





You are one of the most balanced people around
Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want
You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you.

When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back
Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love!
You live life to the fullest - encorporating the best of both

worlds








Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence





You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things.
Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments.
You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it.
You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle.

You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or

mathematician.








Your Element Is Fire



Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame.
You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out.

You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable.
You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go.

Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive.
Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many.









Your EQ is


100


50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!

51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding

Chinese.

71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could

have guessed that.

111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your

butt.

131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers

get under your skin.

150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty

liar.








You Are Not Scary

Not Scary!

Everyone loves you. Isn't that sweet?








You Are 21 Years Old



21





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.

STAR STUDENT.. I'm a Champ!!

I woke up early this morning to fix something in our yahoogroups. I've placed a password protection in the homepage of our groups and I've forgotten to post the username and password. I'm really proud of what I've done because from then on our yahoogroups is improving for the better.

I moved very slowly because I know our professor in Computer Lab will be late again. I left the house at around 6am.

On the way to the entrance of the LRT2 Katipunan station, I met Jona in the line of the bag inspection. It has been a long while since I last saw her. We talked about different news about what's been up to in our lives.. about our classmates.. and the Koreans.. =) The trip to Legarda was just very fast because we talked too much about anything.

When we passed through the Valencia Dormitory (a clock hanging in front of its gate serves as my clock).. I saw the time and it was already 7:15. We scurried a bit because we didn't wanna be late for our class. I reached the second floor lobby and voila!... they were still there. My classmates were waiting at the benches. Just after minutes passed, our professor came and we entered the laboratory.

After spending two hours in the lab for just accomplishing some of the unfinished exercises in the manual, we spend the other hour to watch the match between Engineering and Commerce Basketball Team. We went to the UST Gym. Minutes passed by and still the game hadn't started yet because of the training in basketball with Norman Black. As we were about to leave the gym, the bell rang and signaled the start of the game. We left the gym after a point was made by the Eng'g team.

We arrived at the Roque RuaƱo bldg just in time.. actually Ma'am Capati wasn't sill there. During our Filipino class we just checked the papers. I'm really not into good condition when I see our professor. She's indeed an irritant! I received my paper from our teacher and with special mention because I wrote a long essay but she said it was just flowery. She made my work an example for those wrote flowery essays. For that she gave me 0.. there's really an injustice!!.. grrr! In the test I got 51/75.. 82%

The final subject was Calculus. When Ma'am Roque entered the class with the bundle of test papers, I knew that it was going to be my judgment of what I got in the exam. The preliminary exam made me depressed for about a day because of not putting +c in the integrated answer. I wrote about this in my previous blog. We had first a discussion for the first and second hour. It was a new lesson so I had to listen. Minutes before the bell rang, she distributed the papers.. I heard from Elaine that I was the highest but I didn't believe it unless I heard it. When Ma'am Roque was about to give the paper of the student with the highest score... She said Lester Varela.. waaah!!! My classmates applauded. I really can't believe it.. I didn't expect that much especially in Calculus!.. Thank God!

To make matters even better, a ribbon made of carton was pasted in the upper left corner of my paper with this inscription.. "STAR STUDENT".. woaahh!! astig!! and in the upper right corner beside my perfect score of 100 (wo.. i'm really humble.. hahaha) these were written.. "Keep it up! Champ!".. Wo!.. that really made my day!! =)

Stupid mistake

It's the start of our prelim week this day. I am really preparing for it very much because I want to have better grades this semester.

I woke up early and started reviewing my notes in Calculus while listening to my favorite radio station, RX 93.1.. =) I also practiced on our previous exercises because I don't want to miss any topic. It was already 10:30am when I started preparing to go to UST. I left the house at 11:15am and hoped to arrive there at 12noon because our exams is at 1pm and I want to be half an hour or even an hour early.

While I was in the train, between Betty-Go-Belmonte and Gilmore station, an unexpected incident occurred. The train at its great speed suddenly stopped. Passengers were pushed forward. As for me, I was standing and holding on to the hand rails. The train didn't move for about five minutes. I thought we were gonna be stuck there for a long time and I would be late for the exams... whew!! If that happened, I'm not gonna ride in that train again.. =/

I arrived at UST at an early time of 12:15. I found no one there yet at the second floor near Rm. 207. I browsed my notes and review for the remaining minutes before the exam.

The test wasn't that difficult. I even had time to review my answers but after the exams... I found out that I had a FATAL ERROR(exaggerated).. waaaahhh!!.. I forgot to put + c at the integrated form!.. waahh!!.. really STUPID MISTAKE!! grr..

Good to be back..

After a veeerrry long time.. here I am.. I'm back for good.. =)

It's a Sunday.. usually it's a working day for me in the house.. I planned to review today for our prelims on Tuesday. However, I just can't focus on what I'm reading with someone nagging around.. I quitted first on my reviewing and did my chores.

I didn't open my notes after that because I wanted to show him that I won't study and if I fail.. it's his fault.. too bad, but that's the way it should be.. tsk.. tsk..

I slept after eating lunch to make myself relaxed. After an hour and a half of sleeping, I watched a DVD.. White Valentine, by Park Shin Yang and my all-time favorite.. Jeon Ji Hyun. It was good the second time around because the first time I watched it.. I fell asleep. This time, I watched fully the move and I found it very nice.. It somehow moved me.

So, maybe next time that I drop by in this site.. I have a lot of things to say.. I'm just not in the mood to talk much.
