You know that things don't make people happy... but they sure make life more fun!

This is quite funny as I don't have much interest in the latest cell phones in the market.  I just want the latest windows phone because I really need it for my online work.  Since my lappy is too heavy to carry anywhere I want usually in my kids' school I want a phone that I can use for blogging also.  Aside from that I'm not much into the latest model of cell phones.  I'd rather spend it on camera or kitchen appliances lol!

How Do You Judge People?

You Judge People Based on Intuition

You can't explain why you trust and like some people. It's all about going with your gut.
Your instincts tend to be right, and your first impression of someone usually sticks.

Keep going with your intuition, as it has served you well ... especially when you have a bad feeling about someone.
Be open to changing your mind about people. Your intuition may change if you learn more information about someone.

That's the score I got.  The truth is I really trust easily, most of the times I follow my instincts and intuition.  Sometimes it see me through difficult times but depending intuition may not be the best gauge on judging because sometimes we use our hearts and when you're soft hearted and too trusting like me you can be wrong.  This is the reason why my Dad told me that a lawyer shouldn't be too soft or too hard because he has to balance everything to be able to defend a client or to win the case.  So the conclusion is - I will not be a good judge but I can be a good guidance counsellor :-)

Outdoor Person

You Are an Outdoor Person

You love spending time outside, and it's likely you've crafted your lifestyle to maximum outdoor activities.
You probably live in an excellent climate (or intend to). And you are also probably physically fit.

Of all the types, you are the most likely to be the happiest. Being outdoors really raises people's spirits.
So go ahead and spend as much time outside as you'd like. Just remember to protect yourself from the sun! 

We're blessed with a good climate though now we're experiencing little rains every now and then.  In our climate you can grow a flower or vegetable garden all year round.  We're lucky to have a big backyard where you can plant anything you like so most probably those people who love gardening will enjoy it.  Most houses now don't have extra space for a big garden so with our big space we're taking advantage of it.  We have fruit trees and some vegetables behind the house inside the whole compound.

I'm noy much of an outdoor person as those people who love going to the malls.  I just to be around the community sometimes to run errands and smell fresh air outside my work.  I don't want to be in front of my lappy all the time.  I'm happy with what I'm doing outdoors like taking a walk, going to school , grocering and visiting my friends.

What Household Chore Are You?

You Are Washing Dishes

You are a dreamy, thoughtful, and slow paced person. You enjoy getting lost in a mindless chore.
You can take on any task as long as you're able to mentally check out while doing it. In fact, you enjoy any excuse to let your mind drift a little.

You are the consummate multi-tasker, and you actually perform better when you're given multiple tasks.
In your opinion, focus is extremely overrated. Why have one ball going in the air when you can have six?

Most of what written are true except that I'm a slow paced person because I'm the opposite.  I'm a fast worker in almost everything I do but I'm dreamy, thoughtful and always thinking of ideas to write on my blog.  I'm a fast thinker too as when I see something interesting I get my pen and write about it. I'm used to multi-tasking work because my previous job demanded that kind of work.  I was head of accounting, human resource officer, billing and collection officer, administrative officer and international carrier settlements for our local and international clients and providers.  See all that designations on me? It's actually just fine except that a lot of pressures are attached so after 16 years I decided to leave the company.

You Are the Suburbs

You've got a bad rap, but you think people are just jealous of how good you've got it.

You prefer to live somewhere that's clean, safe, and cheap. What could be wrong with that? You're not going to apologize for liking chain restaurants and good schools.

While you may not be as sophisticated as the city, you're content with your life. Plus, there's more to do in the suburbs than people think.

Besides, you can visit the city anytime you'd like. And when your fun in town is done, you have a comfy suburban house to come home to.

This question got me thinking too about myself.  I've experienced living in the province when iI was a kid, a real province like a place near the rice fields and less than an hour travel to mountain and everything. Now I live in a suburbs but so near the city so it makes me a very lucky person.  The city is just 15 minutes away and I can go there anytime I want but enjoy coming home to a safer, more comfortable home to live at.  As for the community as long as there are good schools and accessible restaurants, grocery, drug store, market and park it's perfect

How is Your Self-Esteem?

You Have Low Self Esteem 4% of the Time

You have high exceptionally high self-esteem and a healthy sense of self worth.
You believe in yourself, and you know how to be the real you. You love yourself, imperfections and all.

I’m the type of person who easily adjusts to my environment and to people around me that’s why I didn’t had a hard time mixing with all kinds of people in all of my previous jobs. The last one I had was a complete test for me regarding balancing people because I was the officer in Human Resource Division who interviews and examined applicants to our company.

I’m also simple in ways and looks. Not the flashy kind and not the attention-seeking person. I enjoy being simple but I love myself – my simple looks, ways and my simple life. I have many friends and I know almost all of them are true friends because they’ve been my friends for decades and experienced the ups and down of life with them. We must love the real person that we are because it’s the greatest love of all. How can we love others if we don’t love ourselves?

You love helping others more than anything else. You love to be needed.

Just the right role for my present status in life - I was really expecting this test to give me an answer like this. I guess if someone entered motherhood she'll have the best training and experience in life so she's able to give the love, caring and nurturing to her family. Every mother wants to be needed by her loved ones, friends and some other people she cares about. It's what motherhood is for.

How come most of what has been said above is really like the real me :-) I'm very careful with my words when I want to persuade someone but still I don't lie just to persuade. I just want the other party to see it my way that's why i choose my words very carefully.

You Are Potato Chips

When you're stressed out, you seek food that is quick and easy.
Life is pretty overwhelming at times, so you prefer comfort food that you can just grab and eat.

You're the type of person who takes on too much, and you don't have a lot of free time.
So even when you have junk food as a meal, you're just thankful that you had any time to eat at all.

This is quite right as I'm a very busy person. I switched to being a Work-at-Home Mom from an office employee but was surprised that I'm busier than when I'm working outside home. It must be something about myself that makes me a workaholic human :-) Anyway I really seek comfort food when I'm stressed but only on few times. I'm a healthy eater and I prefer fruits now than junk food!
