Ask me Anything

twentyfive.three.twentyohnine

I am such a sucker when it comes to quizzes and surveys.

Quizzes 'cause it helps me find out all sort of things about me that I *thought* I didn't know and surveys...just 'cause I like answering questions.

I am the most awesome person to pass a survey to.. :D

Stumbled across this quiz thingo that analyzes your personality. Very simple. You just choose the group which sounds more like you...which was difficult for me 'cause it seemed like both panels described me anyways.

Anyhoo...moving on to quiz.

"Spontaneous Idealists are creative, lively and open-minded persons. They are humorous and dispose of a contagious zest for life. Their enthusiasm and sparkling energy inspires others and sweeps them along. They enjoy being together with other people and often have an uncanny intuition for their motivations and potential. Spontaneous Idealists are masters of communication and very amusing and gifted entertainers. Fun and variety are guaranteed when they are around. However, they are sometimes somewhat too impulsive in dealing with others and can hurt people without really meaning to do so, due to their direct and sometimes critical nature.

This personality type is a keen and alert observer; they miss nothing which is going on around them. In extreme cases, they tend to be oversensitive and exaggeratedly alert and are inwardly always ready to jump. Life for them is an exciting drama full of emotionality. However, they quickly become bored when things repeat themselves and too much detailed work and care is required. Their creativity, their imaginativeness and their originality become most noticeable when developing new projects and ideas - they then leave the meticulous implementation of the whole to others. On the whole, Spontaneous Idealists attach great value to their inner and outward independence and do not like accepting a subordinate role. They therefore have problems with hierarchies and authorities.

As a Spontaneous Idealist you are one of the extroverted personality types. You enjoy working in a colorfully diverse group of people who interest and inspire you. Working in a “secluded room” is not your thing. Your sense for the motivation of others is almost eerie. You constantly observe that which happens around you and have no problems noticing all sorts of things simultaneously or communicating with several people at the same time.

At Work
Your enthusiasm is contagious to others and that is why your colleagues and friends all appreciate you as an important member of your team. Your articulateness and your sensitive ear for nuances in conversations with others obviously play a role. For you, this team-oriented environment is very important because you need to receive positive feedback and recognition like other people need air to breathe. It would be practically impossible for you to contribute everything you need to maintain your high ideals, by yourself.

Variety, challenges and fun are important ingredients of your area of responsibility. You appreciate receiving new stimulation, meeting new people, and continuously collecting unique experiences. However, too much routine, too much detail work and the necessity to stick with one project for a very long time is not your thing. Your strength are creative problem solutions, discovering new ways and opportunities, the conceptualization of new ideas on one hand, but not so much their concrete implementation on the other. Ideally, you have a staff of capable colleagues that takes over your concepts and runs with them.

In Love
When you are in love, you easily outperform all other personality types in terms of enthusiasm and panache. Then your commitment knows no limits. You go out of your way in your eagerness to express your affection, and in your happiness, you are ready to embrace the entire world. When watching your attempts to flirt, one can’t help but think about a puppy dancing happily around its new playmate. Then for you simply nothing exists but your newfound love. „Hold your horses!“ - “Discretion is the better part of valor!” - “All that glitters is not gold!” - these worldly wisdoms are nothing but a waste of time.

With the entire spontaneity of your personality type, you instinctively immerse yourself in your emotions because you are sure that this time you have found the perfect partner. And you want everything here and now. You can probably go through as many divorces and separations as you want, but you are never going to learn from experience and at the age of 70 - and with shining eyes - you are still ready to walk down the aisle. Your friends may sometimes have a problem watching this, but they can only shake their heads in exasperation, and hope and pray, because in those moments you won’t accept advice from anyone. Then it would be easier to get in the way of a Tsunami.

In a long-term partnership you are a charming, affectionate, and unconventional partner, always good for a surprise, always there if you are needed, always ready for a loving compliment. As generous as you are with your feelings, so do you love to spend money and lavish your partner with gifts - sometimes even causing the very security minded and conservative types in the relationship to get a little weak in the knees. Should they now be happy that you abducted them to a luxury hotel for a romantic weekend, or should they be concerned whether there will be a problem when the next rent payment becomes due? Everyday things only interest you peripherally anyway; sometimes you walk with a downright childish confidence through life believing that the universe, fate or some other supreme powers are going to make sure that at the end everything will work out. So, why worry and save? It is interesting that this sometimes even works!

If you have a Spontaneous Idealist as your friend, you will never be bored; with them, you can enjoy life to the full and celebrate the best parties. At the same time, they are warm, sensitive, attentive and always willing to help. If Spontaneous Idealists have just fallen in love, the sky is full of violins and their new partners are showered with attention and affection. This type then bubbles over with charm, tenderness and imagination. But, unfortunately, it soon becomes boring for them once the novelty has worn off. Boring everyday life in a partnership is not for them so that many Spontaneous Idealists slip from one affair into another. However, should the partner manage to keep their curiosity alive and not let routine and familiarity gain the upper hand, Spontaneous Idealists can be inspiring and loving partners.

Women

twentyfour.three.twentyohnine

My current job involves looking at blogs.

So I am constantly browsing through blogs all day for at least 5 hours a day.

I come across amazing blogs.

Blogs that revolve around photos, their lives, their friends...ooh ooh and food.

But recently I've been looking through Singapore bloggers.

There are a lot of them.

And the one pet peeve that really hits me is that almost 60% of the female bloggers that I come across are married. Young. And have at least two children before the age of 25.

I have nothing against marriage...and I have nothing against birthing young spawn carbon copies of themselves.

BUT getting married before you've even reached maturity?! *to me, the age of REACHING maturity is 21. But you're only mentally mature at around 25/26*
THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!!

You have no idea what you want in life.
You have no idea if this is the person that you're going to be 5 years down the line *granted, you might never really know*
You have no idea if YOUR PARTNER is going to be the same person 5 years down the line.

Why the hell are you getting married so young and producing mini-me's before the age of 25??
I mean, the only logical reason would be because you think you won't be alive past the age of 55!
That gives you 30 years to watch your kids grow up, get married at 20 too, have kids before they're 25 and watch your grandkids turn into tumble tots!

SERIOUSLY!!

Why take such a big risk such as getting married so young and then having kids and then putting them through the pain of divorce when you suddenly realise that your spouse ISN'T the one you want to spend your time with??

People these day's ask why the divorce rate is so high.

There's your answer.

Getting married at an age where you haven't developed yourself as a person is just LUDICROUS!

*God, I just needed to vent.*

Favourites: Music (Part Two)

seventeen.three.twentyohnine

MUSIC

With music, you can't really say that you love all their songs, but with these bands, I love all their albums. In each album, it's a totally new experience and their songs are just brilliant.

1) Snow Patrol


The soothing, calming effect of Gary Lightbody's voice is amazing. It's not just the way he melodious puts words together, but his songwriting skills as well.
He has this unbelievable talent of creating little bubbles for the people that are listening to the songs and making them feel like the songs were sincerely written for them.
Love it.
Songs to look out for are Run, Chocolate, and Set the Fire to the Third Bar.

2) Nine Days

Probably the first Indie band that I fell in love with, their only album that hit our shores, "The Maddening Crowd" is prolly the only CD in my collection which has been destroyed because it's been overplayed.
I figure I have a common denominater about all my favourite bands because each and every one of their songs allow me to relate to them in some strange way.
Or maybe I'm just psycho.
Songs to listen to are Wannabe (NOT the Spice Girls), Bob Dylan and 257 Weeks.

3) Kings of Leon

The most recent addition to my love of music, I have at least five of their songs on repeat all day every day.
Similar to Snow Patrol in the sense that Caleb Followill has such a magnetic voice and EXCELLENT song writing skills. They're songs are literally like sex for my ears.
Awesome songs are Use Somebody, King of the Rodeo, Milk, Revelry, and Sex is on Fire.

4) Foo Fighters

AHHHHHHHHHH!!
I HAVE LOVED THE FOO FIGHTERS SINCE I WAS A TWEEN!
Honestly the first band that started off my love for Alternative Rock, I started gaining an interest on them from their kooky music videos on MTV.
Those day's are long gone and their nonsensical songs have now been replaced by rock ballads with more meaning. I think it all had to do with Dave Grohl becoming a poppa.
Must listen to all albums. To biased to pick a song.

5) Travis

I have no words to describe the wonder of Travis.
Their beautiful melodys that some strange people consider to be depressing is out of this world.
The guitar riffs are peaceful.
The drumbeats are strong.
The bass lulls you in.
And the vocals keep you there.
I love Travis.
Again. Listen to all songs, but the one with speacial meaning is most definately Flowers in the Window.



Now go download and let your ears orgasm.

Riddles

Had a mad ass crazy retarded weekend.

Oh, no, it wasn't bad or anything!

It was actually quite perfect.

Albeit, it consisted mostly of partying for 48 hours.

It's too much stress to write about what happened so photos will finally magically appear on my blog soon.

The highlights?
  • The number 24.
  • The number 15.
  • French people are funny.
  • Friends are fricking amazing.
  • I'm no longer single. And I'm happy about that.
The song, Use Somebody (Kings of Leon) just fits into my life perfectly right now.

Love it.
xx
