Peace is the word

Finally I got the chance to try taking part in this so-called inkblot test. Previously I call it abstract-painting-test. And seriously, in the past, everytime I saw people doing it in telly or movies I always think, "Wow, I will suck big time in these tests." I mean I will say none other than, "Monster." or "Aliens." or "Squashed bugs." But I was wrong, I actually see stuff in the inkblot. Curious how it works? Just take it yourself, then..

By the way, here's my result for this test

..., your subconscious mind is driven most by Peace
You are driven by a higher purpose than most people. You have a deeply-rooted desire to facilitate peacefulness in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with love ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to influence the world.

You are driven by a desire to encourage others to think about the positive side of things instead of focusing on the negative. The reason your unconscious is consumed by this might stem from an innate fear of war and turmoil. Thus, to avoid that uncomfortable place for you, your unconscious seeks out the peace in your environment.

Usually, the thing that underlies this unconscious drive is a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it. As a result, your personal integrity acts as a surrogate for your deeper drive toward peace and guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others.

Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Peace, there is much more to who you are at your core.

and also from the e-mail

People who have unconscious minds driven by peace tend to be independent thinkers who often prefer to live by their own high personal standards and moral code.

Just one comment.. tsk tsk tsk.. Heheheee.. I mean how serious my subconscious is! Anyway, peace is what I am, then.

el sol

It's officially 1750 on my computer's clock. It's officially over-hours for me. [psst.. been checking blogs since 20 mins ago]. And it's officially not yet the time for the sun to set!!

I started my interns when the sun set at around 1600 hours, and quitely whispering: "Time to go home in some minutes." But now? Whoa... Still there, baby..

Good thing: I am still able to take pics outside after I got off from work
Bad thing: I don't think there are any bad things in there. Hehehe..

By the way, no snow showers today. So, anxiously waiting for the real temperature for tomorrow evening. If they turn to be true. Yawn!

Heading for the gym!

The err.. My Brain Test

..., you are Balanced-brained

That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.

When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.

While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.

The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.

Now, the bold part, explains everything about why I often, and I quote, feel paralyzed.

Happy birthday

Happy 10th Birthday Yahoo!

Anyone got today-only-Baskin-Robbins' on them? I am thinking about it, but I don't think they have any branch in Bremerhaven. Whoops.

Anyway, this netrospective is super-cool, eventhough it was based on this web-caleidoscope-generator created some months ago.

But happy birthday, anyway. Here, here..

winter.com

[Thanks to PSM-ITB for allowing me borrow the pun]

Well, the real winter is finally here. It's three months late, I know. I believe I will spend the whole week going to work and home through the snow. This morning, I have to walk through a quite heavy snow showers. Ugh.

weather forecast Bremerhaven

This weekend, apart from the fact that I have to work on this seminar, I also want to have the ability to play with the snow in the park. It's not good, you know, when you're lingering all day at home just to find out the next day the headline of newspaper read like: Der fröhlichsten Winter Hamburgs. Gasp! And I was in all day. That's what happened last weekend. Hohohoho..

weather forecast Hamburg

But rather have that kind of snowy everything.. I miss 20 something degree as temperature of the atmosphere out there. Like in Jakarta. I guess you can't win 'em all, can you?
