If you are an Ass : A very loyal and sweet person. Your loyalty can never be doubted. You are quite honest and sincere when it comes to your attitude towards working. You are a very simple person, indeed. Absolutely hassle free, humble, and down-to-earth!! That explains the reason why your friends cling on to you! You have a good taste for clothes. If your wardrobe is not updated with what is trendy, you sure are depressed. Popular and easy-going. You have a little gr! oup of dignified friends, all of them being quality-personified.

If you are a Slug : Always up to some sort of a mischief! The mischievous gleam in your eyes is what mak e s you so cute and attractive to everyone. You are an extremely fun-to-be-with kind of person. No wonder people seek your company and look forward to include you for all get-together’s. However, you are sensitive which is a drawback. People need to select their words while talking to you. If someone tries to fiddle around and play with words while dealing with you, it is enough to invite your wrath. God bless the person then!

If you are a Cockroach : Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfull! y deriv e work from people. You love being loved and when you receive your share of limelight from s omeone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well… Hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful…..

If you are a Parasite : An extremely lovable, adorable person, sometimes shy, with a passion for quick wit. At times, you prefer quietness. You love exploring various things and going into depth of each thing. Under normal circumstances you’re cool but when given a reason to, you are like a volcano waiting to erupt. You’re a fashion bird. People look forward to you as an icon associated with fashion. Basically, you mingle along freely but don’t like talking much to strangers. People feel very easy in your company. You observe care in choosing your friends.

If you are a Skunk : You are near to perfect and nice at heart! . The e xamples of your kindness are always circulated in groups of people. You, too, love peace. You wouldn’t like to retaliate even to a person who is in the wrong. You are loved due to this. You do not wish to talk behind one’s back. People love the way you always treat them. You can give, give, and give love, and the best part is that you do not expect it back in return. You are generous enough. Seeing things in a practical light is what remains the best trait of you guys.

If you are a Bullfrog : You symbolize a very happy-go-lucky approach in life. Whatever the surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain unaffected. In fact, you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader of your group of fri ends! and go od at consoling pe ople in their times of need. You dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from hypocrites. They can never be in your good books, no matter what. You are very methodical and organized in your work. No amount of mess, hence, can ever encompass you. Beware, it is easy for you to fall in love….

If you are a Snake : You are mysterious. You are someone who can handle pressure with ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going berserk. You can be mean at times, and love to gossip with your selected group. Very prim and proper. You like all situations and things to be in the w! ay you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a result, you may lose out in some relationships. But otherwise, you love to help people out from difficult and tight spots when they really need you.

If you are an Ape : Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done as quick as possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if you are the center of attraction. That way, you people are unique. You would like to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Shall your name be dragged or featured in any sort of a controversy, you then go all panicky. Therefore, you take your precautions from the very beginning. When you foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves you from falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you people are.

I will tag Mitch and Era and Jen.

Am passing this tag to:  Mayi, TEacher Julie, and CC.

There are really days in our life that we just want to rant on about anything.  Talking it out aloud to a friend or family might let you end up sound foolish or crazy.  So we need a place to really talk out what we feel - good, bad, funny, crazy, sexy and etc and that place is called BLOG. Rant it out in the blogosphere.  I think that is one of the reasons why I started blogging.  I have to write down my thoughts how nice or bad it may be and I don’t care if it is read or not.  The important thing is that it is out of my system.  There are just times or things that makes me struggle breathign because the pressure is just too much.  I need to let it out to breath and to laugh.

One of the example of a funny blog that posts entries on how life is funny is Rant it Here.  Read out his blog and yeah, they are unique posts that talks about life in a general sense but at the same time you can say huh it seems it is just high who thinks that life is really complicated.  I think it is already complicated but making it more complicated is what most of us does all the time.  right?  So check out Rant it Here and see posts like Comic Architecture and let that laughter out in you. Just like this quiz:

 Check out the links above and try to answer that picture quiz becaus correct answers can let you go to the China Olympics for free.

That Last Week

The last week before my departure in June 2005 particularly Zhangkiakou Vocation and Technical College, it was a very hectic week.  My time was devided between last visit to my 12 classes, goodbye dinners by friends, by the department, by the school leaders, then comes the packing, the sorting out of what to give away, what to be kept, and what to sell.  It was so busy.  It was stressful that I could lose weight but nahhh never - evryday was eating time - the goodbye dinners.

One of the things i will not forget were the goodbye programs held by each classes for me.  In some classes I was my smiling self but in other classes, I was my crying self.  You know when there is that attachment and then in few days time u gonna leave them - it really tore my heart in two.  Hearing them singing their goodbye songs really made me cry.  :(  So to keep the memories alive, one class gave me an autograph filled by each student and some wrote letters using just their papers.  Ordinary papers but each one is full of love and admiration but also tainted with sadness of parting.  It is almost 3 years now (june 200 that I have left them but that warm closeness still can be felt in me.  When I have a lot of time to laze around at home, I spend sometime looking and reading their letters and I feel so nostalgic of China.  I can feel their honesty in every words they mean.  That’s what I love with my last year because my students were college level.  Their oral english may not be as perfect as in the English world but it was enough for me to understand them.  Unlike in the previous two years where my students were extremely young and extremely old and interaction is less because that other party is poor in oral english - but it is same - i love them all.

I thought of making a blog of my China Life - but thinking of the time to be able to update it from time to time - i am trying to put aside the idea.  But seriously I thought of making a new one as suggested by a friend if I am going to purchase my own domain - it would still be a general category blog but I haven’t thought of any name or title yet - but am excited of the thought.

Anyway, let me share with you a couple of these letters that am keeping and i hope to keep til still can keep them (btw, am not editing the grammar of their letters.  am writing them as it is.  These students are sort of like in junior college.  Around 18-20 years old.  That level after senior highschool.):

Arlene, when I see you, I really like you.  You are very friendly.  In your class I can practice my oral English and I really have self-confidence.  I like your class than other teacher’s class.  I dislike other teacher’s class so I always absent. … - Maggie. (2nd year college)

Maggie, is one of the bright students in class when it comes to oral english.

Dear Teacher:  I like you very much.  Because you are lovely that makes me very well.  When I met you the first time, I thought you are a chinese woman, such as Xinjiang.  You are beautiful!  I know maybe you are lonely because you are far away from your country and your child.  I hope you can be happy every day.  If will miss you forever and I hope you don’t forget me forever.  In the future, when I got good job or get married, I mis tell you at the first time!  Give you best wishes!!! - Coffee (third year college)

Coffee meant that I look like Xinjiang woman.  The women from western side of China.  Chinese in ways but they have big eyes.  I can really agree I may just look like them but i have bigger eyes than the normal populace.  I also admire Xinjiang women of their beauty. 

Teacher, you are so lovely.  First time, I think or imagine if you can be my big sister.  I feel very happy.  Now you will leave.  I don’t know how to express my feeling.  As a matter of fact, I’m not a talkative person.  One day I will be a CEO or have my own company.  I will show you I’m changing.  Be sure you are happy everyday.  Wish you have many beautiful things happen to you. — Wallace

Wallace is 2nd year in college and one of the quiet type in class but has good pronunciaton during oral practice.  I appreciate him writing this letter in a stationery. hehehee.  I really do feel funny when they think am beautiful! hahaha

Teacher, looking at your appearance, especially your friendly expressions you give me an impression of optimism.  Indeed, very open and easy going.  As for me, I have regarded you as my good friend.  I still remember the day when I first see yuo in class two.  With so many laughs and happiness.  And I will also remember this day we get apart with so many tears and sorrows.  Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will always remember you and miss you.  I just hope we have the chance to meet again in the future. :)  Your student and friend — Stone.

I can still remember stone, the quiet but active in class activities student in Class 2. Haiii i feel i miss them so much now.  By the way, i took the 24 hour trip from Beijing to Hongkong that time, and their letters and wishes made me miss them bt at the same time keep me company during that long trip.

Well, more letters in the future.

I am nursing a very bad headache that attacked me since yesterday afternoon. :)  The electric power came back around early afternoon yesterday so i started with my new addiction - Juliet Tokyo.  I decided to watch because of the throbbing pain felt on my head until now.  I blame it on my monthly cycle. Huh! female life!  Someone joked with me “i thought you are pregnant!”  what? me pregnant?  How come?  If so then that eggplant then can do miracles! LOL!  Just kidding you guys.  Abstinence is the best thing not to mention am on NPO for so long now.  That’s life but it’s no big deal.  Life is fine even without it. hehehehe

Am done with my washing and so am free. I wanna continue watching the Tokyo Juliet but I wanna let this headache go away first.  I am waiting for a cousin to come online but until now I still can’t see her so i just keep quiet here at seat.  Hope she will come in a while.  I feel ok when I get to talk to someone about life.  I felt that life so hard these days and sharing it with friends and laugh about it makes me feel that it is not hard after all.

Now let me go to work and let me see if my brain will work alright. :D  I need it badly!  Every dollar matters though how small is the exchange rate here in our country.  Every dollar still counts. Dimple’s facial reaction can’t be spelled when i told her that I got to work - online. :D  She won’t believe me. hahahaha I told her you should be happy for me so that when I have more dollars I will bring you shopping for your school needs. The list is so long with her school needs and until this moment, I still don’t have the round thing to purchase it - but I know God will provide.

How i wish free coupons like dell coupons are available at this part of the globe then am sure some of my money be diverted to the more important needs. right?  Free shopping coupons can be available online.  Check them out because they not only avail things for free, they also help you save up money for your savings.  Not all things comes for free this time so why not grab nutrisystem coupons as much as you can. They can be used in many stores near your area like Old Navy, Victoria Secret, Dell, JC Penny, and many more. Coupons available are not just for women’s apparel or fashion but for a lot of other stuff like food, office furniture, computers, pets and of course for kids and many more.  So check them out with Deal Locker.  Am sure you gonna thank them.

We won’t have electric power tomorrow for 8 hours - from 8 am until 5 pm so am thinking of spending the day away from home.  I really wonder why we often have this blackouts.  Maybe this is one way to conserve energy and prevent high electric bills - bt i really don’t think so.  Luckily my aunt asked me to go along with her to attend church in MMA.  So am off there tomorrow morning and surely will be back in the evening.

I didn’t leave for CDO today.  Plans were permanently cancelled.  Haiii but that’s life.  Understandable man reason niya but I can’t help to really fume mad as my first reaction.  I never texted back until he called up. He just wanted to hear my voice. aihehehehe. Sounds cute but really my voice was laughterless nor smileless.  Is there a word like that? hehehehehe.  But glad i made it to the vesper’s program tonight that made me clear headed because the program was very inspiring.  It was a night of music with stringed instruments and lots of blended voices in songs.

I would just like to note too one friend of ours disappointed me and several others for not agreeing to meet us at CDO today.  Bahala sya.  Now is the only chance.  we are not fully sure that the next time they come back to the Philippines - we will still be around.  Who knows.  He should understand that no one waits for no one.  Now suppose to be a great chance, but he intentionally missed it - so to hell with  him!  Come on Nette, let’s just laugh out loud at him! hahahaha

After this post am off to relax with a movie - Autumn Heart: A NEW BEGINNING.  Though the actors and actresses looks a bit oldie but am sure the story is good.

I wish everyone a wonderful week-end and smile everyday!

Happy Sabbath!
