Sex and the City: The Four Women, the Four Elements

Your results are based on the four Elements of Astrology: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Each Element has its own set of characteristics, and each of us displays some combination thereof, usually with a focus on one or two. Samantha, Miranda, Carrie and Charlotte each personify one of the Elements and its basic traits. Which Elements most strongly influence you?


Note: Scores are rounded to one decimal place and therefore may not total 100%

You scored 40% Miranda
You chose many of the same answers that Earth Sign-like Miranda, the cynical but pragmatic lawyer, might have chosen. Just like Miranda's had a tough time deciding whether to give in to the affections of Steve the Bartender, you don't give your heart up to just anyone. Miranda shies away from a relationship with Steve because he's 'just' a bartender, not something more conventionally ambitious or stable. Those with powerful Earth Sign qualities -- characteristics associated with Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn -- are cautious in love and seek stability and status over nearly anything else. Earth Signs provide a steady, realistic attitude and they can bring order out of chaos. A little-known Earth Sign fact: Incredibly sensual, you seethe beneath that smart, expensive business suit of yours, yearning for intimacy but hesitant to give up your material needs, your career ambitions or your responsibilities for a passionate moment that might not turn out the way you'd hope.

You scored 40% Carrie
Your answers peg you as a Carrie-type, much influenced by the Air Sign qualities associated with Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Like confident Carrie, a sex columnist, you're curious and perceptive, always seeking answers and never satisfied with the superficial. An Air Sign influence can lead to indecision and an avoidance of tough issues, like with Carrie and her on-again, off-again attachment to Mr. Big. Forward-thinking, incredibly intelligent and witty, you just exude quirky charm. You'd be utterly bored by someone who's just a pretty face or hot body -- though you don't mind looking and flirting! You're more turned on by an equally smart and funny mate, someone who challenges your mind and makes you laugh. You love to talk, so you need a good listener who's open to playful and eccentric ideas about love and lovemaking.

You scored 20% Charlotte
A romantic at heart, you chose the answers that demure Charlotte may have chosen. Strongly influenced by the intuitive, profound and sometimes naïve Water Signs -- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces -- you're like a mother, a mystery and a poet all in one. Though on the surface you may seem innocent and all about seeking the good in people, beneath the surface, you hide secret yearnings for intimacy, for attachment and ideal love. You're seeking a knight in shining armor, a soul mate, someone who will complete you and tether you to the earth when you get carried away with your fantasies. You're super-sensitive, soaking up the moods of others; you emote freely, crying at commercials and sappy movies. You also provide a shoulder to cry on and open arms for hugs. Be careful that you're not so wide-eyed and trusting that you get taken in by some cunning wolf in sheep's clothing.

You scored 0% Samantha
You identify with Samantha's bold and liberated Fire Sign qualities, characteristics associated with the Signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. You're strong, audacious and larger than life -- and you take what you want! Sometimes you can even be thoughtless and selfish, as you get so caught up in craving immediate gratification and excitement that you overlook someone's feelings. Your personal style likely reflects your desires: sleek, low-cut, revealing just a bit more than might be considered acceptable. Watch that you're not coming on too strong, though. You could scare potential suitors off with all your drama. If you seek so much attention, the more basic qualities of the Fire Signs could be burned right out of the picture. Show less skin or cleavage and more of your creativity, your vibrant leadership skills and courageous generosity!

i am literally aching to make another layout (again).

the problem is, i don't want to change my layout (yet), i just did Chloe's, Hanne won't let me touch hers, and Arjay is perfectly content with the laout i did for him.

maybe i'll just create another account just so i can have something to play with.

unless, someone will volunteer their site for a little makeover..*parinig mode*

if anybody is interested, just leave the color scheme you want, the theme (fire, flowers, dogs), and your email add as a comment.

wehe, feeling madami magiging interesado eh no.

i had a dream about Mark last night, and i woke up feeling kind of sad. i felt as if i wanna go back to sleep and dream about him again.

in my dream, we got back together.

it's weird. this is the first time i dreamed about him.

it's funny how i end my day thinking about Coco and feeling inlove with him, only to wake up longing for someone else.

oh, well. Mark wouldn't talk to me anymore anyway. i tried but, as expected, he wouldn't give an inch. he won't let me tie a string, at least. he's an all or nothing kind of guy.

doesn't matter. i have Coco.

-------------------------------------

my mom and i went to Quiapo yesterday with Michelle (daughter of my mom's, uh, whatever he is.) to help her buy things for her booth at their school fair. supposedly she was supposed to buy buttons to make earrings, but we ended up just buying the silver things u usually see on sidewalks.

the good thing about Quiapo is that you could buy a lot of useful things at a really low price, we got a whole range of silver pendants and beads, hooks for the earrings, and a couple of pliers for cutting the wire and stuff.

then we went to Robinson's Place where they had a grand time choosing from the bargain section of VCD's. I got Cruel Intentions 2, my mom bought Emmanuelle and The Grudge, and Michelle bought Saturday Night Lives, Grease, Little Women, The Little Prince, The First Daughter and Les Miserables.

we watched The First Daughter first, which was terrible because i there is nothing remarkable in the story, the plot was lame, and the story's almost the same as Mandy's Chasing Liberty.

then we proceeded with The Little Price, which was so great, i'm planning to borrow the cd from Michelle and have B.A. or someone else burn it for me.

and lastly we watched Grease, and i think John Travolta is just adorable in that film. i'm gonna borrow it too.

anyway by the second half of grease we have already made 40 earring (wow), and we went home at about 12:30, and i fell asleep almost immediately after i lay down.

gilmore girls premiered last saturday and it was as good as i expected it. i really missed that show!

for Gilmore Girls freaks like me, if you want spoilers you can go here.

-------------------------------------

i can already feel the pressure, and we haven't even met all of our professors yet.

i have to say that i like our professors, so far. we got Mr. Opiniano again for RES-MF, which was okay, at least we know how he operates. i already has some good ideas for our thesis. my partner BTW, is hanne. wala ng kokontra. anyway, i think i have an idea for our thesis that might actually turn out good.

SPN 2: we're under Senora, the well-known "terror" professor to ever walk the corridors of AB. but she's not all that bad, really. actually, compared to Professor Obusan, i like her better. she's quite funny (for an old lady), although she IS a perfectionist. the good thing about her is that she doesn't expect us to be fluent in Spanish. she told us so. which, i think, was cool on her part. i've read from other blogs (ahem, Mitch.) that their professor wants them to become Spanish experts.

and in Layout and Copyreading, we got the newbie professor, Ms. Pusta, which, although a bit on the dull side, seems to have quite a lot of credentials to deserve our, um, mild admiration. wether or not she will be an effective teacher remains to be seen.

i love being back in school. really. i came so close to being an "out-of-school youth" this semester, that i fully appreciate being able to study with my classmates. and i do plan to work very, very hard this semester. i wanna get good grades. wish me luck. i will really really need em.

***

amazing how over the course of a few measly months, you get so close to a person that it almost seems as if you are one entity. or as if you created another being that is composed of the two of you, no one else, and it sometimes seems as if you are sharing one heartbeat.

amazing how, when he hurts, i feel his pain.
when he laughs, i laugh for him.
when he's down, i feel his disappointment.

amazing how being with him makes me feel imprisoned, yet liberated at the same time.




please, bear with my cheesiness. i'm in love.

1 year na ko dito sa tabulas!

yawoo..

-------------------------------------

almost three years ago, four fresh and innocent *ahem* girls stepped into the treshold of room 211, and stepped out of the comfort zone we all know as high school. plunging into college, these girls had no idea they were going to be friends, and had absolutely no idea that they were going to spend the next 2 and a half years constantly in each other's faces.

from the moment of the celebrated, annually held "Tour of the University", these girls got acquainted, got intimate, and over the course of a few months became the best of friends. yes, there were skirmishes, and some troubles went deeper than that, but still their affection for each other *urgh* could not keep them apart.

they shared still more laughs, tears, and respective stupidity. and i'd like all of you to know, that i am one of these girls. the girls who became the best part of my college life.

and what with the fastly approaching migration of chloe's family, our horrendous college schedules, and only a year to go before graduating, my friends, the life we built together is headed for disintegration.

so, as a tribute to the best years of my life, here are the pictures from the last day the four of us spent the day together.

syempre ako muna. ako ang pinaka maganda saming apat. WAHAHAHA! walang kontrahan. ang kumontra, inggit lang! nyaha!



ang kasama ko dito ay si jhoey, our saint. herher. she's probabaly the best behaved among the four of us. it may not seem like it, but we have astounding similarities both in heart and in mind. she's the one i turn to when i know i made a stupid decision with my lovelife, cause i know that she will understand. and yeah, she's the flower of our group. try to hurt this girl and you'll have three war freak maniacs to deal with.

this, ladies and gentlemen, is the legendary hanne. probabaly the craziest among us, and definitely the craziest of the friends i ever had, she does all these unbelievable things that makes us invariably want to strangle her or make us proud. she's someone who gets what she wants, no matter what the cost. we've long ago given up on trying to make her more.. uh, normal. after all, things will never be the same without our crazy hanne.

and of course, chloe. our very own PLASTIKMAN. the best when it comes to PR. my going out buddy. you want to go out and chill? call her. she'll readily go withg you. the two of us went through so many misunderstandings, it's a wonder why we're still friends now. i don't know about them, but i will certainly be sad if i find myself bored one day of wanting to hear someone to be indignant on my behalf, and knowing that i can't dial her number cause she would be halfway across the world. don't forget us pare, even if you're surrounded by your cool, new, canadian friends. we certainly won't forget you.

and yes. the four of us. thefour innocent girls are now concerned with much more than lovelifes, assignments, and sucky professors. they may forget, but i certainly won't.

-------------------------------------

* the follwing is something i submitted as a reaction paper.

It could not be denied that pornography and violence among TV, cinema and print media are growing more rampant over the last few years. And it certainly cannot be denied that the culprit our society blames for the raging crimes of sexual harassment and violence is the apparent lack of standards among Philippine communications media.

Reflecting upon the document distributed by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, I could not help thinking that all the hysteria about the rapidly spreading "addiction" of some Filipinos to pornography just makes it seem all the more glamorous. Like what we often hear "mas masarap gawin pag bawal", it seems as if all the campaign against pornography is a surefire way to get even more people interested in it.

As for the idea that pornography is a contributing factor of increasing crime rates, I for one think that that notion demeans the status of human beings. We are creations of God blessed with intellect and reason. We are not robots that will simply respond to whatever violence or pornography or any other ill mannered show the communications media is presenting us. Whether one is educated or not, we are beings with intelligence and we have the capabilities to distinguish what is right and what is wrong. We all have enough common sense to know better. Laying the blame on pornography is simply man’s way of justifying their acts.

Quoting the writer and critic Jessica Zafra, I agree with what she said: “Man should not be sorry for being horny. It’s like saying ‘excuse me for being human’. As long as you don’t go around harassing people, you’re quite within your rights.” Pornography doesn’t have to hurt us if we don’t let it. If we blame something as simple as a movie for the actions that we did, then it is like saying that we don’t have the power to think for ourselves, and that a movie is somehow more superior than us.

And as for pornography and violence affecting the vulnerable minds of our children, that is the job of the censorship and regulatory board, and accompanied by the firm invocation of good morals by their parents, no child should ever find his or herself a prey to violence.

In conclusion, I have to express that I have a higher opinion of human beings. We are smart, and we are capable of distinguishing what is right and what is wrong. Laying the blame on pornography is, like I have mentioned, simply degrading the intelligence that was granted to us. For once, let us learn to be accountable for our own actions, and not behave immaturely and look at pornography as a convenient excuse for our wrongdoings.

i just survived my very first nerve-wrecking, nausea inducing recitation with Senora (our Spanish prof), and i even got a "muy bien" out of her.

nyahaha. i feel like celebrating.

isang araw pagbukas ko sa aking pinakamamahal na site na Pinky Board, nagulat ako sa isang tag na iniwan ng isang user na nagngangalang "tagboard".

hey! you write well... and your layout is cool! you might be included on the top 11 tabulas pages next week!

astig. mejo nagulat ako at mejo na-flatter, pero hindi naman masyado, naisip ko kasing pinagtritripan lang ako ng isa sa mga mababait kong klasmeyt, o di kaya naman ay pinagtritripan ng ilan sa mga inggiterang nangaaway sakin.

ngunit ng kli-nick ko ang link ng kanyang pangalan..

ta-da! nalito ako kung saan ako magtatag. pano ba naman, pagkadamedameng tagboard dun. pero ang malupit niya, nung hinahanap ko ang tagboard ni tagboard, ako ay nabigo.

walang tagboard si tagboard.

masgusto niya yata ang tagboard ng iba. nyahaha. jok jok jok.

at ngayon, muli nanaman akong nasumprays sa tag na ito:

Congratulations! your tabulas page is now one of the top 11 pages of the day! keep it up!

astig. may nagagandahan pa pala sa mga kalokohang nilalahad ko sa aking blog.

palagay ko, hindi magtatagal ay magiging prestigious ang Tagboard Awards. ngayon pa lang eh, usap usapan na ito sa mga tabs users.

kongrats nga pala sa nakasali sa top 11 (nov 17-19).

sabihin niyo ng kachipan pero nagagandahan ako sa bagong soap naLovers in Paris. nyahaha. ako ay isa sa mga taong baduy na mas kilala sa tawag na "Hopeless Romantics".

gusto ko ang karakter ng masungit na amo. astig siyang tumingin. pag may tumingin sakin ng ganun, malamang mahimatay ako.

isa pa, para sakin, ang mga lalaking masungit, aloof, playboy at suplado ay ang mga lalaking masarap magmahal. *bawal ang green minded. seryoso ako. nyaks* ang ibig kong sabihin, eh sila yung tipong pag na inlab, todo todo.

totoo yan. pramis.

from experience.. nyahahaha. intriga to.

-------------------------------------

the one thing that i absolutely hate about myself is the fact that i have no control over my effing emotions.

i've always been viewed by everyone as this nice, sweet girl. not so long ago i'm so naive and gullible that a person could be maing a fool out of me for years and even though i'm aware, i would simply "turn my other cheek", hoping that my willingness to do good would make the people around me see that i'm someone they should take seriously.

i was wrong. it took me years and years of heartache and disappointment to learn that the more you are willing to do good, the more likely it is that the people surrounding you would take advantage.

i worked hard to overcome my weakness. i fought myself, and for myself. i learned to be strong, inspite of everything that's happened to me. i stood up from the hellhole i fell in. i made many mistakes, but instead of letting those mistakes run my life i chose to learn from them and i came out stronger.

and then, all at once, my emotions came rushing in and in a couple of days, i wound up undoing all my hard work.

i did something so uncharacteristic of me, that i'm surprised at myself. my "good girl" mold cracked, crumbled, and completely collapsed. it ruined the personality i had for virtually all my life it ruined the personality i knew.

from that mold emerged someone else. someone i don't know.

i don't like it.

and it's all because of my EFFING emotions that i just can't control.

(this is me trying to be poetic)

my sincerest apologies for the people who threw up at this pathetic attempt.

narinig niyo ba yung balita kagabi na tungkol dun sa creek na natitulohan?

alam niyo ba, nung narinig ko yun, tawa ako ng tawa, as in naiyak talaga ako sa kakatawa.

isipin niyo naman, sino ba namang ungas ang magnanais na magmayari ng madumi at mabahong creek? buti sana kung ang mga creek dito eh tulad sa states na pwedeng swimmingan. saka hello, public property yun? interesin daw ba? sabi ko nga sa mommy ko:

ako: ano ba yan lahat nalang, siguro pag nakakita sila ng poste sasabihin nila, "eto titulohan niyo to, walang may ari!" , o kaya pag nakapulot ng bato sabihin nila "o may bato dito, lagyan niyo ng titulo *tawa ng tawa maluhaluha na*
mommy: si jackie nga eh pinatituluhan ng tatay niya yung bundok

hindi ko alam kung sino si jackie. pero astig yun ah. nyahahaha, pag dinaanan nila yung bundok, pwede niyang sabihin na "uy amin yan, may titulo kami jan!" nyahahahah!

nakakatawa talaga. huminto lang ako sa kakatawa nung nagsimula na yung Lovers in Paris.

naiinis ako kay Asia.

hay naku asia this is for you. if you want other countries to see you as a home-wrecking whore, that's your prerogative, but please don't disgrace the rest of us Filipinas.

unlike you, we do have our dignity.

-------------------------------------

gusto niyo bang makita ang aking bangs??



nyahhaa. nag binggo kami.
