The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test

So here are my results! The results is no surprise to me because I know it from the very start that I'm quite a Nerdy, Geeky, & Dorky person.


Your Score: Outcast Genius


73 % Nerd, 56% Geek, 65% Dork




For The Record:



A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.

A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.

A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.


You scored better than half in all three, earning you the title of: Outcast Genius.



Outcast geniuses usually are bright enough to understand what society wants of them, and they just don't care! They are highly intelligent and passionate about the things they know are *truly* important in the world. Typically, this does not include sports, cars or make-up, but it can on occassion (and if it does then they know more than all of their friends combined in that subject).



Outcast geniuses can be very lonely, due to their being outcast from most normal groups and too smart for the room among many other types of dorks and geeks, but they can also be the types to eventually rule the world, ala Bill Gates, the prototypical Outcast Genius.



Congratulations!

Erap Guilty of Plunder!

Alas! Erap was convicted guilty. In my opinion, it serves him right!

Here is an article taken from the New York Times:
By Carlos H. Conde

MANILA, Wednesday, Sept. 12 — A Philippine anticorruption court on Wednesday convicted a former Philippine president, Joseph Estrada, of illegally acquiring wealth while in office and sentenced him to a maximum of 40 years imprisonment .
The court found Mr. Estrada guilty of plunder, but acquitted him on a perjury charge.
The court also ordered the confiscation of several properties, including mansions, that he acquired while in power. The plunder case stemmed from accusations that he received more than $85 million in kickbacks from tobacco taxes, commissions from the purchase of shares by a government insurance fund and payoffs from illegal gambling operators, and that he used a fictitious name in a bank account. The perjury case stemmed from charges that he misstated his income.
Mr. Estrada, 70, has been in detention for more than six years. He was ousted in an uprising prompted by the charges, as well as accusations of womanizing and heavy drinking in the presidential palace. Those allegations deeply offended the Catholic Church, which led, along with so-called civil society groups and leftist organizations, huge demonstrations against him.
The current president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who was Mr. Estrada’s vice president, took over the presidency after his ouster in 2001.
Mr. Estrada, a former movie star who is hugely popular among the Filipino poor, has repeatedly denied the accusations, saying they were politically motivated. He accused the business elite, the Catholic Church and the civil society groups for conspiring against him.

On the Verge of Something Wonderful By Darren Hayes

I had recently been addicted to this song. Check the lyrics out ;-)

On the Verge of Something Wonderful By Darren Hayes

A serpent, a rabbit,
A walk in the forest,
A tentative looking sun.
A feeling, a moment,
A bursting of bubbles,
A panic to overcome.

A samurai, an angel,
An eloquent table,
An AC that does not work.
A road trip, a car wreck,
A paperback novel,
A lover who ain't been hurt.

When you let me go, now I'm on my way,
When the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful.

For it, against it,
Said he'd never meant it, but Harry still dropped the bomb,
A trip to the dentist, the Hollywood black list,
A moment that time forgot.

When you let me go, now I'm on my way,
When the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of, something wonderful.
At the edge of, on the verge of, something wonderful.

You can dance in the devil's shoes, you like walking in heels,
There's a decent living to be made in the selling out of ideals,
You can lose your way in the big city,
Get distracted and lost and feel pretty, Ohh, Ohh...

I want you, I need you,
I don't wanna please you, or belong to anyone.
But life is for leading, for not people pleasing,
A race that has never been won.

When you let me go, when I'm on my way,
When the world below, is cold and grey.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
At the edge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful.
A resurgence, on the edge of something wonderful.

Playing with our Puppy

I felt bored that morning when I saw our puppy sleeping. Me and my brother tickled the pup while sleeping....How cruel of us! hehe ;-)

My Birthday Gift!

It was 9th of July when I went biking around our neighborhood, exactly one week after my brother had been cured of Dengue fever. I was thinking about my upcoming birthday. "Will I be sick again when my birthday comes around, like my past birthdays?" That sentence keeps playing again and again in my mind, but I remain confident that I wont be sick this coming birthday. I felt strong and energetic that day because I can easily scoot around the hilly terrain which was quite difficult if you don't have the stamina, and little did I thought that I was also gonna be diagnosed with Dengue.

July 10th I had a dream about Transformers movie. It was ugly dream, I wanted to wake up but I can't! I also noticed that I'm experiencing this grueling headache while I was dreaming and I felt like a big slab of concrete was placed over me. I know my conscience was awake but my body is still asleep. When I had gathered the strength to wake up and stand I almost fell to the ground because I'm so dizzy, it's really hard to walk! It's like you were heavily drunk. I thought that I just needed more sleep. When my mother checked me out she said that I have a very high fever! I was terrified because my brother just recently had Dengue, and when my fever didn't subside for that day and I was experiencing chills my mother decided to bring me to the hospital.

July 11th, my birthday, while we were waiting for the results of the blood test I was praying to God that hopefully I wont be diagnosed with Dengue, but all of my hope was lost when we entered the doctors room. She greeted us with bad news and, Yes, you've guessed it right! I was diagnosed with Dengue. I was immediately confined in the hospital because my platelet level was low. I prayed to God that my birthday wish was to be cured as soon as possible.
The whole week felt like a year! And every morning the doctor came in saying that my platelet levels keep dropping by the thousands. I admit that I was scared, I still don't want to die, so I keep on praying to God. The whole week was just like the past days. I felt bored and wanted to be cured immediately and I also never felt so scared my whole life. But one day while a nurse was changing my dextrose he said to us that my platelet already rose! I was really happy and so was my mom, and it was confirmed by the doctor a while later. I really felt so happy and thankful to God, My dear Mom, the Nurses and the Doctors who took care of me while I was sick. So we waited until my platelet count normalize.

When we went home I felt so happy! It's good to be back home! I really promised myself that I would be more careful when a mosquito is around and that I would clean our environment and surroundings so that mosquitoes cannot breed near our house.
