In the seventh heaven, that's where I am now.

KIMI RAIKKONEN

IS WORLD CHAMPION....!!!!

Seriously, my mind suddenly goes blank. GEEZ...!! But there is SO MUCH that I want to say!

I cannot do this. Need more dose on F1 news. Be back later with (hopefully) sane mind.

I found this personality test, and the results are so freakingly accurate!

Some snippets:

They can be very much involved in the world of people, as well as quiet, imaginative, and in their own world.

Geez, so nicely put.

Sitting around with dear friends discussing feelings can be very special to INFJs. INFJs are likely to have friends of long standing rather than make many new acquaintances. They may meet with their friends fairly consistently to share what is happening in their lives.

See? See what I mean?

This type has great depth of personality; they are themselves complicated, and can understand and deal with complex issues and people.

LoL. I don't know whether I can understand (let alone deal) with complex issues and people, but I know that I am complicated. It's funny, anyway. I'm complicated, but I like simplicity. Or maybe it's because I'm so complicated that I like simplicity?

INFJs are hard to get to know. They have an unusually rich inner life, but they are reserved and tend not to share their reactions except with those they trust. Because of their vulnerability through a strong facility to interject, INFJs can be hurt rather easily by others, which, perhaps, is at least one reason they tend to be private people. People who have known an INFJ for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that INFJs are inconsistent; they are very consistent and value integrity. But they have convoluted, complex personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.

INFJs like to please others and tend to contribute their own best efforts in all situations. They prefer and enjoy agreeing with others, and find conflict disagreeable and destructive.

This is one of the many freaky parts. No other personality test (believe me, I've taken some of them since I'm a quiz mania, LoL) has ever hit the truest spot. The explanation of precisely what INFJs are is taken from here.

Concerning the multiple intelligences thing, it's so true also. Verbal/Linguistic Intelligence: I cherish my book collection. I love word games, I enjoy writing and learning foreign language, and I love puns and rhymes. Intrapersonal Intelligence: I am an introvert, prefer working alone, am a perfectionist, intuitive, and I spend my time thinking and reflecting everything. I also likes to learn about self, enjoy journaling, self-aware, and philosophical. Logical/ Mathematical Intelligence: I like math (don't freak out), I wonder how things work, I organize things by category, and I often look for a rational explanation.

Seriously. It's scary, but it's true.

I've finished reading 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'.

Don't worry. I won't spoil anything. The following paragraphs are completely safe for anyone to read.

I don't know how should I feel about this, anyway. I mean, Harry Potter pretty much defines my teenage years! I go on the journey with Harry for roughly seven years (I touched the series at September 2000 where I read the translated version of 'The Philosopher's Stone'), starting from when I was only twelve until now I'm already nineteen and about to leave my adolescent years. Sounds like a very appropriate timing, eh?

At first I planned on savoring the book, let it linger on my hands for much longer. At first I thought that I wasn't ready to part with it yet. At first I was freaking out that life after Harry would feel like something's missing.

But then I held the book in my hands yesterday. I had it physically in my hands. And it completely ruined my plans.

I couldn't stop turning the pages. Chapters after chapters gone by, and I still couldn't stop, especially after reaching the latter chapters. I even watched an F1 race - where I usually am glued to the front of the television - with the book plopped down on my lap, and I missed to hear three quarters of what the commentators were saying.

I need to tell you that I don't usually do that. It's all Harry's doing.

So? I ended up finishing the book in two days.

And I surprisingly don't feel frustrated or whatever that it finally is ended.

I remember when I just watched the final installment of the LOTR trilogy on the cinema. I felt sad that time around. Really felt sad and mourning, since I knew that there wouldn't be any more LOTR movies that I could wait and be excited about.

But I don't feel the same way with Harry Potter. I just feel, well, normal. I mean, I do feel sentimental towards the final pages. I was thinking, "Well, this is it. I wonder if my life will be different after this." But the pages were read and the book was closed, and I surprisingly find that I can calmly accept the fact that everything has an end, including Harry. Perhaps the perfect timing is also one of the reason why.

On top of other things, I'm just glad that I've been given the opportunity to enjoy such an extraordinary piece of writing. And it's not like J.K.Rowling won't write anything anymore, right?

There's someone who saw one of my post at LJ and ask for a particular HTML code, and she said that she would surely credit me. I ended up making a separate post just about the HTML code, since I was being nice (hey, I'm always nice! LoL), and I told her that the whole credit thing wasn't necessary, it's just nice if she did credit me.

And... Just like that. I never hear from her again. However, being such a nosy girl I am, I was curious whether she used my code or not, so I visited her page. And guess what I found.

Yep. She used it (and I'm happy) and she credit me wrong (and I'm clearly not happy about this). She misspells my username! Twice, even.

Now, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I mean, it was *me* who told her that the credit thing wasn't necessary, and it's still stands. But I'm still unhappy. Why? Maybe because I just have to admit that I hate misspellings. I mean, I'm a big anti-misspellings, you know? I'm anti-typos as well, and I cringe every time I post something and when I re-read them (believe me, I *always* re-read them) I find a typo or something.

You know how 'no break between the paragraphs' do to me. Yeah, typos do that as well. And what pissed me even more is the fact that it is my username which becomes the victim!

I appreciate her gesture to credit me, though. I really do.

Which is why I don't want to dwell on this anymore. Okay, move on.

Geez, I'm dying to see Transformers. Now I just want to buy the toys, LoL. Some people say that the CGI will blow people's minds. Yeah, well, from the two-minutes clip and the trailer I saw? I'm totally sold. But thinking about it, I think I had been sold way back, when I first saw the poster artwork.

I know. I'm easy for this kind of stuff.

I did another Gilmore Girls marathon with my friends today. We watch it in sequential order, and we haven't gotten past the 1st season yet, even. Mm, yeah, it's perfectly understandable when you see that the each marathon happens only from 1.00 p.m. 'til 6.30 p.m. tops every time. Don't forget to consider the breaks (for chatting, hunting for food, etc etc) too, LoL.

Yesterday, I experienced a kind of horrifying moment. There's a split second when I was almost tempted to publish my URL (yes, this blog URL) to everybody by putting it in Friendster. Seriously.

But now I'm like: "Was I being insane for a moment???"

I mean, I have to say that I am tempted. I looked at those FS profile of people and their FS blogs, and, I thought, hey, I also want my rants to be read by people every once in a while, so they know how pissed I am sometimes, yada yada yada...

Luckily, though, my logic rescued me. Then I remembered the reason why I blog anonymously.

I can write anything I want. Meaningless paragraphs, stupid reviews, bashing about people...

However, I do also remember that I once (fortunately only for a very short period of time - and I doubt anyone still remembers about it now) published this URL on Friendster. Yup, that's right. That time around, one of my friends actually read it and remembered it and left a comment on my tagboard.

Now I plan on revealing the URL only to my closest friends. Some of my friends will not continue their study here, but off to another city or even country, and I'm hoping this blog can do us some good. Of course, then I have to be more active here and add the freaking commenting service.

Geez, I just found out that Jason Badower stopped on my blog and left me a message! I wonder how he found me, 'coz I left him a comment, yes, but under a different username and all. But that's what I remember.

But, seriously. This got me thinking how messy my blog is. Eouwh.

Gonna tidy it up, I promise, especially since I notice the first post has no breaks between the paragraphs. Yikes!

Oh, yeah, I just count my holiday, and in total I got, like, fifteen (yep, fifteen!) weeks of break between high school and college, and, hell, I just know that I have to make it worthwhile. I mean, I'm in my 6th week already, and I have done quite a lot of things, IMO, but nothing major (which kinda sets my beard in fire - not that I have any)(!!!) I haven't polished my driving skill, I haven't learnt how to cook, I haven't resume any language course, I have not!

But on so much calmer note, I know that I have written a LOT, *grins*. And if you ask me, I am way pleased with it. I mean, I do have many setbacks, but I always return to writing in the end, no matter how many months I go on hiatus. And from May 26th, I almost fill up a book (okay, it's not a huge book or anything, just a usual notebook 'coz I like writing both in traditional way and modern way) already.

So, yeah, I'm happy, but still not that happy. It's just human nature that's never satisfied, huh?

I didn't blog yesterday, since it was such a HORRIBLE day for me (and my mood was so damn bad, so there you go). It's regarding my grades, but unfortunately I'm not someone who is fond of talking about grades, so let's just leave it at that. Just few people know, and of course I'm not planning on telling everyone.

However, today my mood is considerably good. Did some stupid mistakes just like I always do, but I won't hold it against myself. I at the very least owe myself this peace of mind, even though it may be short-lived.

Talking 'bout other things, please!

I just recently joined a HEROES fan forum. Have no slightest idea whether I will post consistently or not, since to my experiences, never I join a forum to become a consistent poster. So, yeah, let's just see, even though it is a HEROES forum I'm talking about.

And... I stumbled upon this drawing analysis from one of my friends' LJ. My results is:

What does your drawing say about YOU?

It also says that:

You are driven and ambitious and tend to make radical moves to reach your goals.
You are a thoughtful and cautious person. You like to think about your method, seeking to pursue your goal in the most effective way.
You are creative, mentally active and industrious.
You have a sunny, cheerful disposition.

Whoa. Radical moves? I don't know what to make of it. It can means 'excellent' moves, but somehow the word sounds like a negative statement for me. But, thinking! Ahh, so damn right, I like to think A LOT. And loving all those talks about me being creative and mentally active, hahaha...

Just found out that Mozilla screws up my layout. Again. But it doesn't look too bad, though, so I guess I'll forgive Firefox... Changed the description to 'best viewed in Internet Explorer'...

Note: still hasn't figured out how to use the damn commenting service.

Another note: missing HEROES... April 23 cannot come faster enough. Damnnnn...

Tuesday, March 27, 2007

I don't even know what I want to write. I've written some paragraphs already, but stupidly erased everything when I fixed the layout 'coz Pitas screwed it up.

ARGH.....!!!!

What was I trying to say earlier? Oh, I remember some.

First, I want to state that I won't make any more promises regarding blogging. I've written things like: "Won't go into hiatus again" or "I'll blog frequently", but the truth is, I keep breaking my own words. So, no more empty promises. From now on, I will blog when I want to blog, the hell with everything else.

On a lighter note, I like this new layout (yes, it's new!). As usual, it's simple and crappy, but whatever. I just cannot be bothered to think, let alone attempt to make a decent layout at present time. Not to mention how Pitas and Shoutboxes keep screwing me. In the end I think I've tamed Pitas, but I don't know what I should freaking do with Shoutboxes, in the end I switch to Cbox which may not be a bad idea after all.

Just all previous tags are gone, but I don't really care about that. All I want is a working tagboard. And commenting service, please? When I've finally gotten around how Haloscan works, I will surely write something. Maybe. Don't know yet. Just don't want it to ruin my layout.

Now, talking about the banner... It features Milo Ventimiglia in his HEROES character. I actually capped it from one of the episodes of HEROES, titled... Um, cannot remember, but it is one of the early episodes, around episode sixth or seventh, I guess... As you may have known already, I'm currently obsessed over the series. Big time. And the blog title is also taken right from it, as the original quote is:

"In the end, what does it matter when the human heart can only find meaning the smallest of moments?" - Mohinder Suresh, HEROES.

All I can say is, Mohinder (or should I say, Sendhil Ramamurthy, the actor who plays him?) is so lucky to be able to deliver that line.
