I find "personality  tests" fun. You come to know who you really are, not that you don't know your self, it helps you realize your inner self. The traits, attitude, view in life, and of course your personality.

A personality test aims to describe aspects of a person's character that remain stable throughout that person's lifetime, the individual's character pattern of behavior, thoughts, and feelings.

My Personality Reading


Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
 
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
 
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
 
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
 
Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
 
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
 
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
 
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
 
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Two topics, one story.

This brings me back to my history class. The time that we were under martial law. Not the martial law era itself, but rather the late-martial law days. Where the intense battle between the Aquino's and the Marco's for the presidency started during those late-martial law days.

During those days, the Filipino people had been so anxious about their condition. They lived with it for two decades. A lot has suffered under the regime of a "dictator". Twenty years of hardship and suffering. Several number of people had been imprisoned, some  slain. One of the most controversial man that was imprisoned was Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino. He was exiled during the martial law, and when he was ordered to return to the country, he was shot dead even before his foot lands on his own country.

That ignited the people to revolt, thus the most historic revolution was written in history. The bloodless people power EDSA Revolution.

After the EDSA revolution, the late former president Corazon "Cory" Aquino became the president and democracy was returned to the Philippines.

Analyzing the history and what is happening now in the Philippines, we were under dictatorship in the past. Now, we are under a so-called dictator president for the last (almost) ten years.

After the 20 years of Martial Law days, there was a snap election. The candidates for election were Aquino and Marcos. Now, we might have a candidate name Aquino and Marcos.

During the martial law, our economy was going down. During these past ten years, our economy is going down.

During and/or after the martial law, there were lots of ill-gotten wealth from the Marcos' that came out in the news. Now, there had been several reports of unexplained wealth from our current administration, particularly pertaining to the "first family". (Mikey: Wealth came from gifts) (Arroyos still need to explain wealth rise, says lawmaker) 

During the martial law, a lot of foreign political visitors visit the Philippines. Now, reports say that the presidents had been visiting foreign countries.



Now, election is fast-approaching. We had mistakes. Mistakes on who to elect or who to choose as our leader. We should have learned from it. We should now by now who is the correct and who is "really" worthy of our precious VOTES. It is so precious that it should never be sold, and also it cannot be bought.

Hindi pa ba tayo sawa sa maling mga tao na napapaupo sa pwesto?

Let's hope that after the coming election, we will have a rightful leader that will lead us right this time. Let's hope that history will not repeat itself.

I know this is off topic from my blog. I just want to share the sweet young girl's sentiments

Yes, I am the eldest daughter of Raymond Ronquillo, and I am a victim of tito Willie's hurtful jokes on Wowowee. Everything you read on the newspapers and internet is true (tito Willie's cars, the young girls, Aiko Climaco). I had a happy family before my papa became friends with tito Willie. I had a papa who took care of us and loved us so much. But now, we don't have a papa anymore.

I know tito Willie or even tito Willie's friends know about this group. If anyone who knows tito Willie please pass my letter to tito Willie.

Dear tito Willie,
I once had a happy family before you came into our lives. I had a papa who cared for us and loved my mama very much. I had a family. Now it's just my mama, my sisters Robbie and our baby Alex and me. It was because of you, your money and your girls why he left us. Sana may papa pa po kami. We don't see our papa anymore. He doesn't talk to us and doesn't spend time with us. Mas nakakasama mo pa po siya kesa sa amin. I miss my papa. We miss our papa. We miss going to church with him. Sa mall, sa restaurant, sa birthday po namin wala rin siya kasi mayo ang magkasama. Tito Willie, sabi mo po tutulungan mo maayos ang family namin. Pero bakit ganun po? Pinapahiya mo kami sa tv, pinagkakalat mo pa po yung sa kanila ni Aiko. People laugh at us in school. I am hurt. Nahihiya po ako. Nasasaktan po ako kapag nagsusumbong sa akin si Robbie. Mas nasasaktan po kami kapag si mama ang nakikita namin umiiyak kasi mahal nya si papa. You promised to help us. Ang sakit na po tito Willie. Sabi ni papa joke lang yung mga sinasabi mo sa tv, e tito hindi naman po nakakatawa yung mga sinasabi mo kasi ginagawa mong pagtawanan ang papa ko. Sinasaktan mo po ang mama ko, sinasaktan mo po kami dahil pinapamuka mo po sa lahat ng tao na si papa may babae. Ano po bang kasalanan namin sa yo? Wala naman po kaming ginagawang masama sa yo. Tapos ngayon sinama mo pa si papa sa Davao para magkasama sila ni Aiko. Sana po kami na lang ang pinasamahan mo kay papa para nakasama namin siya.

Tito Willie, please wag mo po kaming saktan na. Kasi naaawa na po ako sa sarili ko. You made fun of us 5 times already on tv. Sabi ni papa sinabi niya na po sa yo na wag mo na kaming pinapahiya sa tv, pero ginawa mo pa uli. Kung hindi pa kami pagtatanggol ni mama e sino pa po ang tutulong sa amin? Si papa pinabayaan na nga kami, tapos yung promise mo po sa amin na tutulungan mo kami maayos ang family namin lalo mo pong sinira.

Tito I may be young but I have feelings. I am very hurt. I don't want to cry anymore. Im hurt because you don't understand how I feel, how my sisters and my mama feel. I'm hurt because I lost my papa and you don't seem to care for us as my papa's family. Tito Willie, you're my papa's bestfriend. Diba po ang mag bestfriend nagtutulungan tapos sibasabi yung toto lalo na pag may ginagawa silang masama? Tito I'm only 12 but I know what's right and wrong. May asawa po ang papa ko, mama ko yun, bakit po hindi mo pagsabihan si papa at si Aiko? Bakit ikaw pa po ang tumutulong na magkasama sila?

I'm glad you're not my papa tito Willie. Kasi po kung ikaw ang papa ko baka po mas masakit pa yung nararamdaman namin ng mga kapatid ko. Ikaw ang papa namin pero papahiyain mo po kami sa maraming tao. Hindi po joke yung ginagawa mo kasi po ginagawa mo pong pagtawanan ang buhay namin sa tv. I hate you so much tito Willie. Sinira mo po buhay namin. Sinira mo po ang pamilya ko. Masama ka pong tao. Ang plastik plastik mo po. You will go to hell when you die. I hate you so much!!

Hate you tito Willie,
Chloe Ronquillo

I hope they put an end to his (Willie Revillame) incorrect attitude.

(a) twenty [20] pesos per day

A 20 pesos, this can go a long way!

I can still remember the first time that I got hold of a twenty peso bill for myself. It was Christmas season. A time for every child to earn money! The easy way. We just have to go to our ninongs/ninangs and viola! We now have something for visiting them, an "Aguinaldo" as what we call it here in the Philippines. One of my ninong gave me the famous “20 peso bill”.

We managed to go to several ninongs and ninangs and have an aguinaldo. At the end of the day, we counted our earnings. Lucky for me, I was able to have a fair amount of money. My mom told me then to give the money to her and she will open a bank account for me. This was the first time that I saved money. It was a nice idea from my mom to save the money, she told me that she’s doing it for future use.

After that Christmas, on the next school year, I had my first “baon”/allowance in a form of a cash! A 20 peso bill! Yey! I had baon before but it was in a form of food. I was so happy when I got my first baon/allowance, but before she handed me the money, she told me that I should learn to save it, because I still have my packed lunch and snacks so there is actually no need for me to spend my baon.

Can you guess when was the first time that I got that allowance? It was during my fourth grade in elementary. Yes, it was only until I reached my fourth grade. I only had 20 pesos per day. Thinking about it, 20 pesos is not that much for a child. Image what you can buy for a 20 peso.

Estimated price of items sold in school:

    Spaghetti (snack)    P 10.00

    Coke                     P  7.00

    Candy                   P  1.00/piece

    Lunch                   More than 20 pesos

    Biscuits                 P  5.00/pack

    Ballpen                  P  7.00

    Pad Paper              P 10.00

    Fishball                 P   5.00/10pcs.

    Kikiam                   P   2.00/pcs

    Tex                      P  2.00/pack

    Palabunutan           P  5.00/bunot

    Manga/Santol         P  5.00/piece

    And other miscellaneous items…

As a child, all of us wanted these things. But way back those years, I wanted those things myself. I try to think and think again if I need those things or if I just want it. I try get those things that I need instead of the things that I want.

As the market value of items rises, so does my allowance. I got an increase! I had my increase when I reached my First (1st) Year in high school. The 20 pesos then became the 50 pesos. My mom still reminded me of saving the money. I had a 50 peso allowance per day until I graduated my high school days. Did I mention that I still have my packed lunch and snacks during these days?

It was until I reached my college years that I had another increase in my allowance. The 50 pesos then doubled. It’s now called the 100 peso. A great increase if you will think about it. Not as much as you think because during these days, I don’t have(want) a packed lunch nor snack. I only have an allowance if I have school. So if I don’t have classes for the day, I don’t get an allowance.

Now, thinking of how can I say that a twenty pesos can “GO A LONG WAY”? Here’s how. I only spent 5-15% of the daily allowance that I get. I try to think and re-think if I need the item or if I just want it. Separating the necessity from the luxury. Imagine how many school days we have in a school year. Less a 5-15% for the expenses. That is what I have as savings. I did save a fair amount of money until I graduated from college.

Now, those savings are now called investments. I manage to put up a small business from the savings that I had since grade schools. It was a tough decision for me because I saved that money for almost a decade.

The twenty (20) pesos will go a long way… if you know how to maximize it! Start saving as early as now, think first before you buy.
