Shuffle your player and select the first 20 songs that come up. Post the first line of the lyrics and have your f-list guess the songs.

  4. ninety miles outside chicago, can't stop driving i don't know why
  5. all is quiet on new year's day, a world in white gets underway
  6. breathe it in and breathe it out and pass it on, it's almost out
  7. i do not understand what it is i've done wrong
  8. words like violence break the silence, come crashing in into my little world
  9. may mga kumakalat na balita, na ang misis ni kuwan ay madaling makuha
  10. i'm afraid to fly, and i don't know why

yes, i know, nos. 5, 13, 19 and 20 should be dead giveaways. what can i do.

some of these were actually covers when they appeared on the shuffle; i need the original artist. track no. 4 was a cover by paolo santos; no. 9 was done by brownman revival; no. 15 was a live concert performance by alanis morissette; no. 20 was a performance by brooke white on american idol.

who the...

picked up another meme from [info]sciathan_file

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-word answers seldom help anyone out.


1. First Name:
kristin. everyone pronounces it "kristine" so i'm tickled pink whenever i hear the american/british pronunciation. my "trying to be fly" name is xtin.

2. Age:
29. must not spoil it by saying i'm almost thirty.

3. Location:
living in los baños, working in the city of manila, but my heart is in makati :D

4. Occupation:
actuarial student who just finished her mba coursework and is at a loss.

5. Partner:
no boyfriend since birth.

6. Kids:
maybe. but i don't have the maturity to deal with them yet.

7. Brothers/Sisters:
none. unless you count my dolls.

8. Pets:
none. i never learned to have them.

9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
- just finished my strama paper, three years in the making. it was my one waterloo during my whole mba experience. and i'm graduating in august. wheee!
- something's brewing on the work front and i don't know the outcome.
- planning a trip to somewhere. and i hope everything falls into place for it because it's not easy to cancel.
- trying to jumpstart my social life, so i'm more open to hangouts. please. please take me out.
- i'm turning thirty. need i say more.

10. Where and for what did you go to school for?
- ateneo de manila, ateneo graduate school of business for my mba. university of the philippines los baños, applied math major in actuarial science. all just words. blah blah blah.

11. Parents?
- still living and still together. i'm much closer to my mum though.

12. Who are some of your closest friends?
- my very closest friends come from my high school barkada. my best friend is now in hawaii and married and most of my other close friends from that group are also married. my best bud is a college friend but he's also getting married soon. so that probably means i'll be the spinster godmother for some of their kids for a long long while yet.

9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup.

- submarine? i actually thought Subway subs. or just plain sandwich. but if it's hotdog, it's called hotdog sandwich. heheh.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach.

last day of the week

living in a predominantly christian country has its benefits. like having this long weekend before easter. the work week officially ends today, but even better, it's a half day at the office. yay!

since i'm not really inclined to do anything remotely related to work, i'm posting a couple of memes from my f-list.

this one's from [info]sciathan_file:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

and this one from a pretty happy ladybracknell

1. I've come to realize that my ex... might probably never exist in my life. hah.
2. I am listening to... someone else's playlist
3. I talk... mostly on YM, with alohachary1851
4. I love... staying up late doing virtually nothing. productive, that is.
5. My best friends... have gotten married or are about to be married. suddenly i realized how empty my social life is.
6. My first real kiss... is yet to happen. pathetic.
7. I lost my virginity... in my dreams, to this guy i had a really big crush on during high school senior year.
8. I hate it when people... don't have a sense of urgency
9. Love is... a very very very elusive dream
10. Marriage is... something you work on every day
11. Somewhere, someone is thinking... it's too hot for any kind of travel
13. I have a secret crush on... this really cute guy i used to work with.
14. The last time I cried was because... my mum made me.
15. My cell phone... is a really old clamshell (nokia 7200) that i only borrowed from my aunt because my newest one was stolen
16. When I wake up in the morning... i pick up my cell and press snooze
17. Before I go to sleep at night... i pray (if i'm awake enough to remember)
18. Right now I am thinking about... facebook. and this fic i'm working on.
19. What should question 19 be? I regret.... so many little things in life that i can't count.
20. I get on LiveJournal... almost all the time, if i'm on internet
21. Today, I... am waiting to end this half-day i had to stay at the office (well, i'm still lucky we're going to be sent home early...) and then head on to greenbelt and see if there's confession at the chapel.
22. Tonight, I will... pack my management book in my suitcase. i'm going out of town with the family tomorrow.
23. Tomorrow, I will... be catching the flight to cagayan de oro city. and hopefully work on my paper while my mum is doing her "retreat"
24. I really want... to be done with strama. so that i can finally have the social life without the guilt.
25. The person most likely to repost this is... probably chary, and metawolfmagus

advanced happy easter everyone!

What Kristin Means

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.


ok, so two out of the six paragraphs are a bit iffy (nos. 2 and 4)but the other four are spot on.

it's you i fell into

picked this up from ladybracknell over at lj, again.

Comment on this post and I'll give you a band. Don't worry, I'll make it one you know and love. You put your ten favorite songs by that band on your LJ, then challenge others to do the same.

she picked foo fighters. although i love them to bits, i don't really know much of the songs beyond what became singles. like, haha. so i did a bit of review of in your honor as it is the only complete album i had.

1. everlong (a favorite song i apparently share with david letterman)
2. big me (the first foo song i performed with my high school band :D)
3. i'll stick around (the first foo song my band practiced)
4. times like these
5. dave's cover of arms wide open
6. learn to fly
7. miracle
8. walking after you
9. the deepest blues are black
10. best of you

if anything, i got to listen to the album in full once again. oh, can't wait for my new ipod.

train_lindz , meanwhile, picked radiohead. which i honestly thought was much easier, until i realized this would almost read like the tracklisting for the bends. which is the only album i really swear by.

1. black star
2. high and dry
3. just
4. my iron lung
5. thinking about you
6. karma police
7. everything in its right place
8. street spirit (fade out)
9. the bends
10. bones planet telex fake plastic trees

and metawolfmagus kindly gave a challenge of her own, and picked the police. so here goes:

1. king of pain
2. every little thing she does is magic
3. tea in the sahara
4. synchronicity II
5. message in a bottle
6. every breath you take
7. don't stand so close to me (especially the '86 version)
8. roxanne
9. so lonely
10. wrapped around your finger

the art of seduction

best buddy mike is a treasure trove of information. and mp3s. here's the result of this useless-yet-insightful thing he sent to me over email today.


as it is, i can't believe i'm that naive. scratch that; i can. i am so naive it's just incredible.

be yourself

i love psych tests!

hey, see a link on my gutter that says rikrik adbentyurs? that's the blog of jugs (yeah, i know, itchyworms). and that's where i got the link to this pretty cool psych test. try it out, because the description it gave me fits me to a t.



ISFP

You're gentle and compassionate...open and flexible...considerate of others and do not for views and opinions on them. Often focus on meeting others needs...pleasant, quiet and kind....at their best ensuring others well-being. Caring and sensitive....modest and reserved..

OK...you enjoy subjects that relate to helping and knowing about people... art ... computers and history classes if these classes are taught with an applied, sensible approach.. and if objectives relate directly to everyday lives....

You're somewhat artistic, aren't you? You could probably post a great poem on the Storm Palace, huh? You dislike structure, because it takes away from your spontaneity and freedom. You like leisure, and seek it out. You savor it...probably say "stop and smell the roses"...You have a personal and humorous approach that is unique...

Patient and flexible..easy to get along with and no need to dominate others. You don't need to lead, and are a loyal follower...good team members... You're trusting and understanding...

Love to you is utter devotion and loyalty... when you first fall in love, you may feel consumed by it...."falling in love with love" ...focus on the romance of it all..you are constantly nourishing the relationship... When scorned, you probably retreat and repeatedly analyze the situation internally....When you let go finally, you can be more assertive again...

You organize things according to their personal and humanistic values. You like a work setting that contains cooperative people... leadership style involves personal loyalty as a means of motivating others... prefer team approach...likes to enjoy life...

Be careful of the following: you can lose out when you neglect your own needs. because you see others' needs so clearly, and because you're heavily motivated toward meeting others' needs, you may overlook your own requirements. You need to learn how to respect own needs more and to be assertive and direct with others in asking for their help and for time to take care of themselves.

You also lose out when you are afraid of conflict and mismanage it as a result. You take personal responsibility for conflicts and issues that in actuality belong to others. You become hurt and withdraw. Finally, you can lose out when you become self-critical, and do not appreciate your own accomplishments.

ISFP: "I Seek Fun & Pleasure" (amen!!!)

you can never have too much information. hehehehehe.

get to know me

when a person doesn't understand what's really inside him, self-help guides are manna from heaven.

got this one by email, heaven knows how they come up with this fluff. but i say, "what the heck?" and delve into my inner chaos. explain away...

Get a shock when you read about yourself. (read the whole thing)
IF you were born on the :
1st, 10th, 19th, 28th of any month you are number 1.
2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th of any month then you are number 2.
3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th of any month then you are number 3.
4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st of any month then you are Number 4.
5th, 14th, 23rd of any month then you are number 5.
6th, 15th, 24th of any month then you are number 6.
7th, 16th, 25th of any month then you are number 7.
8th, 17th, 26th of any month then you are number 8.
9th, 18th, 27th of any month then you are number 9.
...
Number 2
No matter what, every one will love you because you are ruled by the Moon. You day dream a lot, you have a very low-self esteem, you need to have a back up for every move in your life, you are very unpredictable. You tend to change according to time and circumstances, selfish, have a very strong sense of musical and artistic talent and powerful verbal communication. You can be sweet as an angel and can be ruthless when double-crossed. Some might say you have a sixth sense. You will become a poet, writer, an artist or a businessperson. You are not strong in love, so your relationship will be in disarray until you settle down. If you are a girl, you will be responsible for your family. If you are a man, you tend to get involve in fights & arguments in the family. You will sacrifice your life for your family. You are gentle, intuitive with a broad vision. You make a well-balanced person. Your best match is 2, 7, 5, and 9 no other people can put up with you!!!

okay, let's take this one by one.

  • really, everyone loves me? i find it hard to believe. i would think i'm the person that most people wouldn't care two figs about, until they really get to know me.
  • yes, i daydream a lot. like, all the time. i'm living outside my life, if you get what i mean.
  • oh, i so have low self-esteem. isn't it obvious, or have you not been reading the last two bullets?
  • i am a mathematician by nature, and a finance person at that. conservatives. go figure. (pun not intended.)
  • unpredictable? you tell me. on second thought, i guess i am inconsistent. it depends on so many factors that i don't care to control. i am reactive.
  • selfish? oh, definitely.
  • musical talent is the one gift i have not been giving the time of day. maybe because of bullet 3 and 5. as for art, i just like looking at nice pictures.
  • if writing a blog is verbal communication, my friends tell me i'm good at it. it's true (that they told me), promise. however, public speaking and presentation is another matter.
  • yeah, i'm sweet i guess. i like making people feel good, if i'm not in a contrary mood that is. but when i'm crossed, i'm such a chicken.
  • my mom told me once that i have very good intuition. she said that the things i take for granted as products of an over-active imagination are really indications of sharp observation and some super-natural sensitivity. as for me, i just don't want to be too disappointed when things don't turn out the way i think they are, so i tend to ignore them.
  • no, i am not a poet, a writer, an artist, or a businessperson. i am a bum. who happens to have found employment.
  • so i'll have a love life when i finally settle down? how queer is that? it's like a loveless marriage then love just barges in, like in the romance novels i love to read. duh.
  • one of the private jokes in my family is that i'll have to take care of my parents and my mom's three unmarried siblings when they get old. scary.
  • gentle, intuitive, broad vision? whatever.
  • well-balanced person? hah.

in trivial pursuit -- the friendtest of knowledge

games really intrigue me. especially mind games. no, i don't mean the ones where adults play at relationships or engage in one-upmanship. i meant board games, trivia games, the dell multi-puzzle books, even the "how green is your mind" portion of the morning brew. so i could hardly wait to get to an internet terminal when joe invited me to his friendtest site.

honestly, i was so blown away by the concept of friendtest that i constructed a quiz of my own soon after. i was curious how much my friends know about me. a lot of them probably know the basics, like which high school i went to or what career path i was following. but more importantly, i wanted to know whether they knew enough to make certain inferences into my personality. besides, i couldn't resist the challenge of tripping people up.

as it turned out, the first quiz i did was too hard, even for my best friend. sad, isn't it? but i do admit that i intended it to be tricky, because i didn't want it to be a giveaway. i mean, there is an obvious answer but sometimes it's not the correct one. so i relented and constructed an easier one, and fortunately my best friend was the runaway winner (so far).

so anyway, i guess i'll wait for more of my friends to take the test, as it's too early to close it yet. maybe afterwards i'll know just how much of myself i've really shared with these people, and i guess i'll take it from there.
