I'm Just A Guardian..


Custom Keirsey Temperament Report for: maddie


Your Keirsey Temperament Sorter Results indicates that your personality type is that of the
Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply -- and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.

Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there's a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly -- they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.

Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails; working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap.

Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs everyone else takes for granted.

Guardians at Work
As a Guardian, you enjoy working as a valued member of a team, whether you are leading it or following a credible leader. You like to work with people who carry their weight. You appreciate having clear-cut responsibilities and being recognized for your dedication and achievements. Your natural traits are those that employers have traditionally valued - and that successful companies still respect. You are responsible and loyal to an organization once you've signed on.

On the job, you seem to innately understand how to create smooth, working processes in your environment. You can excel at directing others to fulfill their duties. In your ideal workplace, you and your colleagues would know what is expected of you and be predictably rewarded for meeting these expectations.

(And I think I am pretty good at this Guardian job..! Hehehe...!)

Are You A Right-Brain or Left-Brain Person?


Which Side Are You On?
You responded as a right brained person to 10 questions, and you responded as a left brained person to 9 questions. You seemed to be comfortable using strategies for both sides for the brain. Your preference may be situational and apparent mainly when stress in a factor. This does not necessarily mean that you are ambidextrous. However, you are on your way to becoming whole brained and will benefit from using study strategies useful for both sides of the brain. When you read the descriptions, look for new strategies to try.  However, your learning style probably has components from both sides.  Some of the traits associated with the left and right side of the brain are listed in the table. Not all of the traits will apply to you.

Besame Mucho by Consuelo Velasquez



Original lyrics


Bésame, bésame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez.
Bésame, bésame mucho,
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y perderte después.

Quiero tenerte muy cerca,
Mirarme en tus ojos, verte junto a mí.
Piensa que tal vez mañana
Yo ya estaré lejos, muy lejos de tí.

Bésame, bésame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez.
Bésame, bésame mucho,
Que tengo miedo a tenerte y perderte después.


Translation


Kiss me, give me many kisses,
As if tonight were the last time.
Kiss me, give me many kisses,
Because I 'm afraid of having you then losing you.

I want to have you very close,
To see myself in your eyes, to see you next to me.
Think that maybe tomorrow
I'll be far, far away from you.

Kiss me, give me many kisses,
As if tonight were the last time.
Kiss me, give me many kisses,
Because I 'm afraid of having you then losing you.

Cabaran Memilih Ibu Tunggal Sebagai Pasangan


Slot: Dunia Lelaki

Tajuk Artikel: Cabaran memilih ibu tunggal sebagai pasangan

Ramai ibu bapa yang akan menolak jika anak teruna mereka membawa pulang pilihan hatinya yang berstatus ibu tunggal. Bagi mereka, jika teruna, jodohnya adalah anak dara sedangkan hakikatnya ajal maut, jodoh pertemuan ditentukan Allah SWT.  Jika anda alami konflik ini, mungkin tip di bawah ini dapat membantu.

Jodoh pertemuan yang diaturkan sesuatu yang unik.  Manusia hanya mampu merancang dan Allah jua yang menentukannya.  Memilih ibu tungal sebagai pasangan hidup tidak salah namun anda perlu bersedia dari aspek fizikal dan mental.

Selain perlu mengawal emosi, anda juga perlu melalui satu fasa baru dalam perhubungan iaitu sudah mempunyai anak segera dan jika tidak tanganinya dengan betul, anda mungkin akan berasa tertekan.

1. Masa bersama

Bila anda memilih ibu tunggal yang sudah punya bermakna anda harus mengorbankan masa kerana agak mustahil anda dapat berduaan selalu kerana mereka juga mempunyai komitmen terhadap anak-anak khususnya jika anak masih kecil.

2. Bersedia atau tidak

Inilah pokok persoalan utama yang harus anda hadapi.  Ia bukan berkaitan dengan tentangan yang mungkin bakal anda hadapi dari keluarga sebaliknya diri anda sendiri.  Mungkin pada dasarnya anda mencintainya tetapi agak sukar untuk anda menerima dirinya kerana anda perlu bengkongsi dengan anak-anaknya juga.

Tepuk dada, tanyalah selera.  Kalau anda bersedia untuk mengharungi semua dugaan dalam hidup maka teruskanlah niat anda untuk memiliki ibu tunggal sebagai calon hidup anda.

3. Soal anak-anak

Ini antara soal berat yang harus anda tangani dengan sempurna.  Seorang ibu yang baik, tidak akan membuang darah dagingnya sendiri semata-mata kerana cinta kecuali mereka tidak waras.

Malah anda juga harus berani menerima hakikat, bahawa anaknya mungkin tidak sama dengan anak anda sendiri dan sudah tentu kasih sayang itu akan berbelah bahagi.  Anak-anak juga akan meningkat remaja dan anda perlu berhadapan dengan satu situasi jika mereka tidak dapat menerima anda sebagai pengganti bapa mereka.

Semakin membesar anak-anak, pemikiran mereka juga berbeza dan mereka mungkin tidak dapat menghormati anda sebagi bapa tiri.  Ibu tunggal biasanya tidak memerlukan anda sebagai pengganti ayah kepada anak-anak meraka sebaliknya sebagai lelaki yang mempu mendampingi mereka dan bertindak sebagai pelindung di saat mereka memerlukan kasih sayang.

Jadi walau pun anda melihat soal anak adalah keperluan utama tetapi ia tidak memberi makna buat ibu tunggal kerana mereka biasanya mampu menjaga anak-anak dengan sempurna.

4. Risiko bekas suami

Lazimnya bukan semua bekas suami merelakan bekas isterinya bahagia kerana ada kalanya perceraian bukan kerana saling tidak menyukai sebaliknya disebabkan masalah lain.  Malah mungkin ada dendam di jiwa dan inilah risiko-risiko yang harus anda hadapi apabila mahu memilih ibu tunggal sebagai pilihan hati..

5. Keluarga sendiri

Ia juga satu masalah kerana tidak semua ibu bapa bole menerima menantu terdiri dari ibu tunggal dan sudah puya anak.  Anda harus berana meyakinkan ibu bapa bahawa pilihan anda itu tepat dan anda juga harus bersedia menghadapi apa saja cabaran yang mendatang.

Sharing Is Caring (Part 1)

This is an old picture. To be precise, this was on Saturday, May 15, 2010. This was the first day I went back to Jazzercise again after my confinement. And at the studio, that I was going (then), they were having Breast Cancer Awareness programme and here I am, testing the breasts replica to feel lumps should we feel that when we do our Self Breast Exam. I never notice my picture was taken and for that matter, only when this photo was already up, with the studio's bright lights, I felt like, OMG i look fairer than the breast replicas themselves. 

Since then (actually even before then) a lot of inquiries have been made to how I keep my fair looking skin. I normally tell that I stay away from the sun a lot or I would wear mostly long sleeve stuff to maintain the porcelain skin. Honestly, I been taking a lot of soya protein powder, a specific brand, consistently and here it is. Shuang Hor Soya Protein powder. 

It comes in sachets and in a box of 60 for consumption of a month (twice a day) for a start and after that maintenance to me is just once a month. PM me for more details on pricing. Note: Shuang Hor is an MLM company and I am NOT interested in finding members under me whatsoever. I become and MLM member of a few companies  for I want to get the products at a cheaper price. Thats all.

Will write more soon.
