Online Personality Test

On the 16^th day of January, I took the Online Personality Test at home. It’s also called Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test, which is formulated by Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myer. This is for us to discover the careers and occupations that is the most suitable for our personality type.

            

After having the online personality test, I’ve learned to accept my insecurities and unwanted traits. However, I am still trying to overcome my undesirable attitudes by dealing with the people around me in a very appropriate way. I got a result of ESFJ, which stands for Extravert with 22%, Sensing 25%, Feeling 12% and Judging with the biggest percentage 56%. The score appeared was right. I would judge something in a certain situation without minding the story behind it yet I am trying to change this kind of manner. In connection with the online personality result, I found myself having a blend of a Melancholic and Choleric type. I’m typically a self-centered person yet I don’t consider myself as shy because most of the time, I would give out everyone I’d pass by, the sweetest smile I have. Furthermore, I’d normally crack a joke just to make the vicinity a lively one. Though it always depend upon my mood. In terms of arts and talents, it is right that I can be highly creative in different activities such as poetry and arts. I usually aim for perfection that’s why I am very cautious in such plights and instructions. I would always want a matter to be accurate and unquestionable one. I have this passion for attainment and I’m very much competitive in several aspects of my life. I’m determined to accomplish what I’ve started even if it comes to worst.

           

I’ve learned how to be more considerate in how people react in various situations. Whatever it takes, I’ll do the best that I can to improve my personality and attitude because I believe that this will help me in my upcoming career. Knowing my strengths and weaknesses made me value the people that surround me. And realize that this will help me communicate properly with my colleagues in the future.

Gonna miss Travel Sales Course

     

      Learning Travel Sales is fun! It helped me a lot knowing how to market not just a certain product but myself.

      At first, I was scared because I had this perception that TRAVSELL is a difficult subject, but then I’ve realized that this one is fun and interesting. I was thankful to have this subject taken along with the group of people I wanted to be with.

      Though I was placed in the leftmost part where I hate most since I can’t focus listening as I was seated in the isle, which I could easily express myself, it wasn’t a hindrance to absorb everything in our discussion.

      Several might find our activities and assignment annoying and burdens, I was in favor with those because those were for our own good; to sharpen our minds and memories and to enhance our skills and capabilities.

      Furthermore, I find our final exam project/presentation very challenging yet fun one since it involves our creativity to market a certain destination. It also deals with our ability to present professionally and face our stage fright and during the question and answer portion.

      This subject is not an easy one; time, effort, comprehension and passion are needed in order to survive this subject or if aiming for a high grade.

      I learned numerous things about selling and marketing; it’s not the usual subject that I would normally forgot what had been thought as time goes by. This applies to my daily life and will help me for the rest of my life and attain the pinnacle of success. How I wish, there will be TRVSELL2 for the next terms so I could learn more about Travel Sales.

Cinemalaya 2012: Diablo

It was a Saturday when my friends and I decided to watch the movie Diablo at Greenbelt. It was an unplanned visit since I was already booked for the next day but since we all want a free Sunday, 11 of us enjoyed the company of each other with the movie.

After our Travel Sales class, we went directly to Makati through a cab. We were early and decided to spend our time eating at the mall.

Movies wouldn’t be completed without the presence of a bag of popcorn. I was in between of two gorgeous girls, Ellane Rivera, and Ani-Ann Balingit.  Together, we shared our laughter, stories, and even annoyance due to the long time waiting for the movie.

Different trailers of various independent films were played before the actual movie was screened. I’ve appreciated the skills and talents of my fellow Filipinos in making the films possible. I’d like to watch more of it. It’s a wrong impression of mine before having viewed the Filipino films as corny and cheap. Those misconceptions had changed after seeing the movie, making me proud of my countrymen.

Despite of the fact that we got bored of the movie, some scenes in the movie Diablo were entertaining and we could actually relate on what’s going on in the story.

We were honestly expecting some scary scenes like a character of a scary creature called Diablo; we were waiting to hear the screams of everyone due to the horror story but we failed. We all thought that the film is a horror genre type, which made us excited.

All we’ve seen is a story revolving in an old woman called Nanang. A woman who lives unaccompanied in a small town visited by a shadow every night.  They were speaking in a Bisaya language since the place was in Nueva Viscaya; thus my classmate, Ani-Ann, understood this.

Nanang should have been the title of the film since it was all about her, her customs in her daily life until the demise of her radio in which she cried most. The content of the movie contrasts to what the title it suggests. It was actually a drama. We were all like, “Where’s the Diablo?” It was actually a puzzle to me, wondering what the dark figure means. Could this be the Diablo they were calling? Or the views, nuisance and fears encountered in the journey of Nanang.

            Overall, I would still rate the movie, 5 out of 5 due to the lessons and values it conveys to the viewers. Furthermore, the techniques they’ve used, the camera and video effects were undeniably great! The actors who played fit the roles in the story. I may not into drama but I like the movie.

Ded na si Lolo

Having seen the film Ded Na Si Lolo, a hilarious movie which shows the typical Filipinos with their tough superstitious beliefs and customs during wakes and funerals, I’ve comprehended that we Filipinos are very much notorious for having bunch of pamahiins (superstitious beliefs), which cannot be easily disposed. 

            Due to the death of the patriarch of the Family, they were all gathered together to mourn and share their grievances as they recall their treasured memories with their Itay.

The film in conclusion emphasizes the usual occurrence, families in the Philippines continuously shadows, nevertheless seeing these practices performed by our fellow Filipinos cause us laugh at our own traditions.

Here are few of the Filipino superstitious beliefs I’ve written and recall, and I also believed in for sometime after seeing the movie:

1.    Bawal ang sabaw sa may patay. (Soups are prohibited.)

2.    Pag naglagay ng pera sa patay ay swerte. (It is considered lucky upon putting money at the dead person.)

 3.   Ang suot na rosaryo ng patay ay dapat putulin upang wala ng trahedyang maganap sa pamilya.  (The rosary worn by the dead person should be cut in order to hinder any tragedy in the family.)

4.    Bawal mag pasalamat. (Expressing gratitude or saying thank you is prohibited.)

5.    Bawal ang pulang damit. (Red clothes are prohibited.)

6.    Gumamit ng pulang kumot upang di multuhin ng patay. (Use red blanket to protect yourself from ghost of the dead person.)

7.    Bawal maligo. (Taking a bath is prohibited)

Having these beliefs observed and somehow practiced, I could make an assumption that these superstitions exists because of the mentality that there’s nothing to lose if we will comply with these beliefs.

Moreover, for the past generations, we were thought of these beliefs even though literally it’s not scientifically proven, we consider and adopt it. It still exist because most of us are trying to avoid the negative consequences if we will not do it. Or for instance, it would just be coincidence so we decided to follow it until it became our custom.

Another reason would be, the statement, “sabi nila e” (that’s what all say); we got scared and just follow what they all say which leads to our mindset “follow the majority”. 

Whatever the reason is, these beliefs are one of 

the trademarks we

Filipinos are famous for which made our culture, history 

and customs

colorful and remarkable.
