Jun, The Dreamer

…took a test from mypersonality.info, and the result shows that I’m the INFP type - Introverted, iNtuition, Feeling, Perceiving.

the dreamer “INFPs are introspective, private, creative and highly idealistic individuals that have a constant desire to be on a meaningful path. They are driven by their values and seek peace. Empathetic and compassionate, they want to help others and humanity as a whole. INFPs are imaginitive, artistic and often have a talent for language and writing. They can also be described as easygoing, selfless, guarded, adaptable, patient and loyal. “

Should I be happy about it? Maybe, as I’m in good, laudable company. Other INFPs are the late JFK, Jr. and Diana, princess of Wales, Shakespeare, A. A. Milne, JRR Tolkien, Virgil, Audrey Hepburn, John (disciple of Jesus), Luke (who wrote one of the gospels), and even the Virgin Mother.

Do I agree with what it says? Let’s just say La Gioconda took the test before she sat for Da Vinci.

Journey: The Rebirth

This video gave me goose bumps.

Yes, they aren’t just back on track. With Arnel Pineda, they are a new act altogether. From viewing and listening to this interview, it is pretty obvious that the group is very optimistic and excited, have gotten their energy anew, and is making magic once more. If I may point one difference Pineda brings to it, it’s youth. Or his youthful vibe and candid demeanor. Die hard Steve Perry fans who refuse to accept may keep insinuating that it’s not the same. Of course, it ISN’T the same. Journey has been REBORN.

How Did They Do These?

Sorry about the tongue twister, I didn’t know what else to name this post.

But should being called a nerd have to be taken as an offense?

What can/can’t computer junkies do these days, that I’m finding these stuff cool enough to share?

1. Click on the image above to open a new window/site. Wait for the flash video to download completely.

2. Write your first name on the first box, your family name on the second. No need to write your e-mail address.

3. Press the VISUALIZAR bar, and be impressed. Be very impressed.

And then there’s the Newton Virus Art for Mac users, which is actually a safe prank, but you might want to torment that control freak of a boss with? *fingers crossed*

Guess Who’s Next on Ellen’s Show?

After Charice Pempengco, she has expressed interest in having the new Journey vocalist, Arnel Pineda on it. I am thrilled, Ellen is recognizing that there is a huge amount of talent waiting to be tapped here in the Philippines. She isn’t the first to say so, of course. But I don’t mean to be overbearing, as I am also aware that it isn’t just Filipino artists being discovered through means never before imagined. Charice was spotted on Korean tv, Pineda on YouTube. And a multitude of non-Filipinos becoming instant sensations, too. The world is indeed getting smaller.

It happens that Pinoys are very enthusiastic denizens of the internet. We love to keep in touch, and it’s a cheap medium most can readily afford. It is creative. And it spreads fast. Hence, Happy Slip, the legendary CPDRC inmates dancing Thriller, the viral Renaldo Lapuz on American Idol 7th Season, the infamous Binibining Pilipinas Q and A, and the Papaya Song dance craze which got to Good Morning America.

Who else did I miss?

Here’s the Ellen deGeneres Show’s feature on Arnel.

The Anniversary Post

…can I tell you a story about a young couple who were celebrating a wedding anniversary?They were poor in terms of material wealth and possessions, but were rich in love. On that special day, they both wanted to give each other gifts.

Desperate for cash, the husband pawned his old cherished wristwatch so he could buy his wife a nice hairbrush. The wife, without telling her husband, had her long silky black hair cut, which she then sold to a wig maker, to buy her man a nice watch strap.

Imagine the surprise when each of them realized how much the other had SELFLESSLY sacrificed something he/she holds dear just to make the other happy.

I found this story conveniently hidden(and forgotten) in my email’s sent folder, which I usually do when I find and share something I really like, and would want a copy of, for whatever purpose it may serve me later. Much like I keep obvious trash in my room, or my drawers, for the thought that I might need them one of these days. Out of habit, and not of necessity.

This is my 1ooth post! I got to check my stats page earlier, and saw the often overlooked post count. I missed my first blog anniversary, which was on January12, if I start counting from the first day I started posting. I had two entries right away, the first one just to say hello, the second being the proper blog entry. I’d consider the latter as the “inspired” article, driven by the idea of just pouring out what I had to say and the fun in interacting with people, which started it all. I’ve had this WordPress blog prior, but until after reading Anna Bayle’s writing, I didn’t know what to do with it.

The first comment came from emperorbananaketchup, though, over an article on scantily dressed women.

Well, here’s hoping for one more year of blogging…

Haaaayyy… Pilipinas!

The worst consequence yet I know from not attending to this blog for awhile, is to get a ridiculous amount of unwanted comments and spam, and email notifications about some awaiting moderation. A few safe comments from blogger friends have been mistaken as potential threat by Akismet too, and I hope none of these have been summarily dismissed as spam. It takes time to sieve them through, eating up my time for writing decent entries instead. I hope it can’t get any worse.

So much trash online. As much trash as on the news, and on the Philippine political scene. And just as foul and gross as trash can get. I just hope it doesn’t spoil Kenkay’s vacation.

As much as many Filipino expats may want to come back, yearning to bask in the familiar comforts of home, and with eager anticipation of change and hope, there always seem to be reasons to offset, say upset, these and make coming back unpalatable, if not unwise.

But then they may always opt to see the other side of the coin.

Kenkay, here’s your song. Continue reading this entry »

Something Old, Something New…

No, this isn’t about somebody hearing wedding bells. Though I had very recently been part of two wedding entourages, in the former as ninong(!) (sponsor) and the latter as abay(groomsman). But far from it.

Until my next proper post, I’d like to leave a HAPPY NEW YEAR greeting for all. Much like everybody else, I am grateful for all the goodness that came with the previous year, and I wish for better things to come in the new. And most of all, I pray that LOVE, unconditional and pure, will reign in our hearts. The way our children love.

Here is something old, from 1980 in fact. From the 3rd Metro Pop Festival (whatever happened to it?) . As kids, we used to sing this song by heart. Listen and enjoy. Continue reading this entry »
