I'm garlic ;)
You can be both mellow and sweet.
You are very loved and tend to get along well with people. People remember you! You love to help people and want to feel useful.
You may sometimes have a tendancy to talk a bit too much, but you also don't mind listening to other people either. You hate it when you become engrossed in your own problems, and you can often feel guilty.
You don't have a desire to lead, normally, and you don't mind taking directions and lending a hand. You have a generous spirit and a kind heart.
You are more than likely very attractive, but you would never stop to admit it. You do notice the positive qualities in other people, though.

what the freak is that on my leg?! ahhhhhhhhhh!!
haha.. yea, i was freaked out when I first dipped my legs into da strong nibble pool and had LOADS of fishies happily nibbling away at my feet. I was thinking [OMHG-oh my holy god] I'm fish food! What if they started jumping out of water and biting other places? =O ahhhhh. ok I was just panicking.
I had to constantly distract myself at first and talk to my friend who was so eager and went in feet first .. haha. Then, it began to feel ok [it's quite like ion treatment if you close you eyes and pretend that it's some OSIM massager] I could finally look at it after some 5 minutes and think that the fishies look cute. [OK THEY ARE NOT REALLY THAT CUTE BUT JUST THINK THEY ARE SO YOU DUN FEEL SO DISGUESTED] They are taking away dead skin =] I was da princess with loads of fishie slaves kissing my toes and whatever haha =D
note: this is not my leg. but look at da fishies anywayI was a bit jealous cos da fishies seem to like my friend more. Hahaha [more dead skin =p]
After da treatment, my skin feels cool and smoother. ^_^ try it yourself!
It's at IMM level 2, near kopitiam. =] $10 for 20 min and $13 for 30 min.

watch these
Still at the beginning of this course and I'm starting to feel the strain and stresses. However, there's still a little part of me that is struggling, telling me that I should keep going.
Again, I thank those who helped me stay on this path and encouraged me to go on. I shall be dilligent and do my best. If it is my destiny, I will make it through. But for now, I'll do all that I can in my ability to make it true.

Your result for The Lover Style Profile Test...
The Suave Lover
41% partner focus, 71% aggressiveness, 45% adventurousness
Based on the results of this test, it is highly likely that:
You prefer your romance and love to be traditional rather than daring or out-of-the-ordinary, you would rather pursue than be pursued and, when it comes to physical love, you concentrate more on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about your performance.
This places you in the Lover Style of: The Suave Lover.
The Suave Lover is a wonderful Lover Style, and is reminiscent of some of the most classic lover figures of all time, such as Casanova or Don Juan, or more recently James Bond (several of the "Bond girls" fit this type, too). This shouldn't be confused with a "player" or someone who is solely interested in physical love, but someone who is looking for an incredibly elusive thing: a worthy partner. The Suave Lover is a treasure to find, but can be incredibly difficult to hold on to, once found.
In terms of physical love, the Suave Lover can sometimes be surprisingly tender. Given the right setting, and the right lover, the Suave Lover can be a delight in bed.
Best Compatibility can probably be found with: The Devoted Lover (most of all) or the Romantic Lover, or the Liberated Lover.
Congratulations!
If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in the following:

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...
Non-conformist, Visionary, and Independent
17 Abstract, -20 Islamic, -7 Ukiyo-e, 11 Cubist, -24 Impressionist and -25 Renaissance!
Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which exists independently of what may appear to others as visual realities. Western had been underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. It allowed the progressive thinking artists to show a different side to the world around them. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a 'new kind of art' which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. Abstract artists created art that was diverse and reflected the social and intellectual turmoil in all areas of Western culture.
People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionsaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye. They rely on their inner thoughts and feelings in dealing with the world around them instead of on what they are told they should think and feel. They feel freed from the tendancy to be bound by traditional thought and experiences. They look more toward their own ideas and experiences than what they are told by their religious upbringing or from scientific evidence. They tend to like to prove theories themselves instead of relying on the insight or ideas of others. They are not bound by common and mundane, but like to travel and have new experiences. They value intelligence, but they also enjoy a challenge. They can be rather argumentative when they are being forced or feel as if they are being forced to conform.

it's beautiful.
sad and beautiful..
I feel like I have so much baggage.. so much to walk out of.. and yet, I'm so stuck in the past.. I can't see my future.. do I even want to see it?
I'd wanna escape from this hell.
After all, one person more or less, won't make a difference. Would it?
Can death erase pain and memory? It all becomes nothingness and emptiness? Would that be it?
it's beautiful.

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally
I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on

I'm sorry for sounding rude, acting weird or scaring some people with the things I tell them. I'm really not feeling very happy, whether or not I've conditioned myself to think that way. I can't find a reason to be happy.
I will not kill myself yet. Though I may try other means to relieve those thoughts.
But if I do kill myself, please don't be sad or angry or wished that you could have done something. It'd all be my fault. I am not strong enough to survive.
If I'm still alive, don't ask me what's the problem. I'm not escaping but I just don't know what the problem is. Maybe that in itself is a problem.
I will not leave a last note yet. But I kinda have it prepared. haha. Do you want to see it? ^_^ Then that will be the last note you get from me.
Standing on the line between life and death.

"Architecture is a social art. The architect can only create if he listens and understands the voices of millions of men, if he suffers as they do, if he struggles along with them to save them. He employs iron that they have forged, he guides them towards the future because he knows what belongs to the past."

Moon in Pisces
Such ladies are emotional, dreamy, inactive, stubborn, and least provocative. Their eyes are full of sex and lust. They should avoid hurting others at any cost. They are modest, kind, courteous and lovable. Soft and good natured, nervous temperament but highly romantic. Fond of love, poetry and music. Helpful to the needy and can even sacrifice themselves for those in distress. Charitable nature. Gain from legacies and inheritance rather than from husband's wealth. The health will reamin average.
Ha.. a webbie said I'll live till 8 Feb 2075. 67 more years. Not a lot.. but I'll be 86. Can't imagine if I'm gonna have white hair/no hair.. and almost no teeth.. or may get senile.. haha.. okok.. I'm still 19. =] Shall cherish all da time I have before that.

I love this show. Watched it a couple of times.. It's just very touching. [And I dunno what da guy's thinking but yea.. it's a struggle for sam soon and zhen xi to sort out what they want. it's quite a happy ending though sigh. this guy just suck at choosing places to say nice things. it makes a nice thing turn slightly horrible] I'm pretty much like da gal. ahaha.. I speak my mind. =p by the way, it's not very nice to pull someone somewhere and kiss her. but well, this guy is just kinda single minded [he only does one that that's on his mind] can't consider other factors -> pisses da gal [and moi watching]
Nice part begins at 3.15 min. the whole thing builds up. =] i cried at 5.28. =_= haha. enjoy!
Love style
-Warm and fuzzy-
About
It seems like you're someone who can't imagine life without romantic frolios. Maybe it's because you fall in love so easily. You tend to be very quick to get involved too. You like to jump into relationships feet first. It's all about love and chemistry when it comes to picking a match. Love is so important to you that you probably don't feel very complete unless you get your fair share of affection. You need to be really careful that your love doesn't dwindle as the passion fades. If you want a relationship that really endures, make sure there's more to it than physical attraction.
Emotions
You can't help being such a passionate person. It makes you feel alive.
PerceptionsIf you're in a relationship, it's probably very intense. You'll grab as much one-on-one time with your lover as you can.
Aspirations
You can't do love by halves. You make strong commitments. You believe in living in the moment. And grabbing every precious second you can have with the one you love.

Love isn't love unless it is expressed; caring isn't caring unless the other person knows;sharing isn't sharing unless the other person is included; Loving, caring, and sharing can make for a very happy marriage.
Leo + Leo
Fire + Fire = Explosion
If you get together with another Leo, you may for a while feel that you’re in control of the situation. Don’t be surprised later when your strength is matched by your star twin, who has just as powerful a need to shine as you. You are ruled by the Sun, so joining forces with another Leo is like creating a binary star. The combination has two possible outcomes for you. One is a bright and vibrant relationship that will knock your socks off.
The other is a complete and utter blowout, caused by the build-up of heat between you. The question in this relationship is who will dominate who? You are both driven by a strong ego, and you are both proud and obstinate. The lesson here, of course, is about give and take. In this relationship, compromise will be the key to success. A relationship between you would bring out one very key ingredient — your concern with how you look and how people take you. One of your most important driving forces is the need to be recognised for your efforts.
As with Sean Penn and Madonna, a Leo–Leo combination that crashed and burned, you might both demand too much of each other’s attention. If you can let some of this dominating and self-centred stuff go, another Leo will offer you a lot in the way of friendship, loyalty and support. Not only that, but you are very well suited to each other sexually — you both know how to add that dramatic touch that takes lovemaking to another level.
Leos born between 23 July and 4 August will be very very obstinate — possibly too difficult for you to get your head around. This is one of the most inflexible combinations in the zodiac. Learning to adjust to each other’s needs would be the major challenge of this partnership.
Leos born between 5 August and 14 August are a less dominant breed; they are expansive, honest and welcoming. You’ll have great love and friendship with them. They also have a strong sense of loyalty. You’ll feel very comfortable with that, because you value loyalty highly as well. This is not a bad combination.
Those born between 15 August and 23 August, co-ruled by Mars, will give you some feisty clashes, and some timely spiritual advice. This group is the most complex, but they are probably quite attractive to you. You may sometimes feel that these Leos are a little unstable and unpredictable. Their spontaneity will definitely excite you, but it will also concern you.
Ideal Jobs Include:Leos are well-suited to be managers, architects, inventors, teachers, athletes and presidents.
When in love, Leo's love of fun is only outdone by the romantic in them. They are faithful lovers with a passion that may seem too hot to handle! Leos may not always be willing to try new things which did not spring from their own fantasies, but a clever lover may slowly introduce new methods of expressing love to their relationship. Once the Leo realizes they are fun they will be won over.Leos sometimes cling to bad relationships because their egos will not allow them to admit they may have made a mistake. Also, being forever optimistic, it is impossible for a Leo to see any problem as insurmountable.Overall, the Leo will prove to be a wonderful mate. Their love of children makes them a natural parent. They are generous, warm and truly want the best for everyone. Their loyalty and sense of honor makes it unlikely they will be indiscrete.

If you can let some of this dominating and self-centred stuff go, another Leo will offer you a lot in the way of friendship, loyalty and support. Not only that, but you are very well suited to each other sexually — you both know how to add that dramatic touch that takes lovemaking to another level.
Leos born between 23 July and 4 August will be very very obstinate — possibly too difficult for you to get your head around. This is one of the most inflexible combinations in the zodiac. Learning to adjust to each other’s needs would be the major challenge of this partnership.
Leos born between 5 August and 14 August are a less dominant breed; they are expansive, honest and welcoming. You’ll have great love and friendship with them. They also have a strong sense of loyalty. You’ll feel very comfortable with that, because you value loyalty highly as well. This is not a bad combination.
Those born between 15 August and 23 August, co-ruled by Mars, will give you some feisty clashes, and some timely spiritual advice. This group is the most complex, but they are probably quite attractive to you. You may sometimes feel that these Leos are a little unstable and unpredictable. Their spontaneity will definitely excite you, but it will also concern you.
Ideal Jobs Include:Leos are well-suited to be managers, architects, inventors, teachers, athletes and presidents.
When in love, Leo's love of fun is only outdone by the romantic in them. They are faithful lovers with a passion that may seem too hot to handle! Leos may not always be willing to try new things which did not spring from their own fantasies, but a clever lover may slowly introduce new methods of expressing love to their relationship. Once the Leo realizes they are fun they will be won over.Leos sometimes cling to bad relationships because their egos will not allow them to admit they may have made a mistake. Also, being forever optimistic, it is impossible for a Leo to see any problem as insurmountable.Overall, the Leo will prove to be a wonderful mate. Their love of children makes them a natural parent. They are generous, warm and truly want the best for everyone. Their loyalty and sense of honor makes it unlikely they will be indiscrete.

Jesse McCartney - Why is love so hard to find?
Everyday I look around
Seems that no one's ever satisfied
Could it be, that underneath,
We've all got something to hide?
From the moment we arrive
We want to fill the space inside
We all need to feel alive
CHORUS
If it's love that keeps us breathin'
Gives us something to believe in
Is it fear that makes us blind?
Tell me, why is love so hard to find?
If we hear so much about it
And we can't go on without it
Let the mystery unwind
Tell me, why is love so hard to find?
All I know is when you find it
Even earth can feel like you're in heaven
Tell me now, unlock the secret
Help us all to find the hidden treasure
From the moment we arrive
We want to fill the space inside
We all need to feel alive
REPEAT CHORUS
Why is love so hard to find
Tell Me Why is love so hard to find
Why is love so hard to find (baby)
Tell Me Why is love so hard to find
Don't you know I'm never gonna give up
'til I find the love?
I'll be searchin' the whole world over
To find my love...
Why is love so hard to find (why)
REPEAT CHORUS(2)
(Why is it so hard)
Everyday I look around
Seems that no one's ever satisfied
Could it be, that underneath,
We've all got something to hide?
From the moment we arrive
We want to fill the space inside
We all need to feel alive
CHORUS
If it's love that keeps us breathin'
Gives us something to believe in
Is it fear that makes us blind?
Tell me, why is love so hard to find?
If we hear so much about it
And we can't go on without it
Let the mystery unwind
Tell me, why is love so hard to find?
All I know is when you find it
Even earth can feel like you're in heaven
Tell me now, unlock the secret
Help us all to find the hidden treasure
From the moment we arrive
We want to fill the space inside
We all need to feel alive
REPEAT CHORUS
Why is love so hard to find
Tell Me Why is love so hard to find
Why is love so hard to find (baby)
Tell Me Why is love so hard to find
Don't you know I'm never gonna give up
'til I find the love?
I'll be searchin' the whole world over
To find my love...
Why is love so hard to find (why)
REPEAT CHORUS(2)
(Why is it so hard)
Jesse McCartney- Why don't you kiss her?
We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything
that is on my mind
Lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
softly says
(chorus)
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide
Cause she'll never know
If you never show the way you feel inside
Oh, I'm so afraid
To make that first move
Just a touch and we could cross the line
And every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
(chorus)
What would she say
I wonder would she just turn away
Or would she promise me that she's here to stay
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
(chorus)
Why don't you kiss her (tell her you love her)
Why don't you tell her (tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide
Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
why don't you kiss her
We're the best of friends
And we share our secrets
She knows everything
that is on my mind
Lately something's changed
As I lie awake in my bed
A voice here inside my head
softly says
(chorus)
Why don't you kiss her
Why don't you tell her
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide
Cause she'll never know
If you never show the way you feel inside
Oh, I'm so afraid
To make that first move
Just a touch and we could cross the line
And every time she's near
I wanna never let her go
Confess to her what my heart knows
Hold her close
(chorus)
What would she say
I wonder would she just turn away
Or would she promise me that she's here to stay
It hurts me to wait
I keep asking myself
(chorus)
Why don't you kiss her (tell her you love her)
Why don't you tell her (tell her you need her)
Why don't you let her see the feelings that you hide
Cause she'll never know
If you never show
The way you feel inside
why don't you kiss her

I like this singer.. http://www.myspace.com/shanemackmusic
A bit like jason mraz.. folk rock.
Lie of why you're leavin' early
Deny that you’re in any hurry
Cry and tell me not to worry
‘Cause what I don’t know, is never gonna hurt me
Breathe, now baby don’t feel guilty
Deceive me then just walk away
Leave me, the truth will only kill me
It’s gotta be, it’s gotta be this way
One more bad excuseBefore you turn me lose
Give me something to remember you by
Couldn’t you offer me
A little dishonesty
Promise me you’ll try
You’ll lie to me
Go, your plane is not gonna stay
Slow, so I can take it in
And so you say you’ll see me later
When you know you won’t see me again
Please before you let go of me
Take me one more time
Appease me, tell me that you love me
That you haven’t gone and change your mind
One more bad excuse
Before you turn me lose
Give me something to remember you by
Couldn’t you offer me
A little dishonesty
Promise me you’ll try
You’ll lie to me

Magenta Finances
Magentas are members of the Physical (environmental) Family; therefore, they always seem to have a handle on how the world of physical reality operates. They know what they have to do to make money, spend it creatively, and still meet their financial obligations.
Most important, they are able to play with money. Food and shelter are the necessary stage props. But in all else, Magentas need and want to be creative. To a Magenta, those products and ideas that are creative, thought-provoking, or imaginative are the true necessities of life. Magentas are apt to think that a trip to the neighborhood thrift shop is more important than buying salad makings-unless, of course, they are planning a Mexican fiesta and need lettuce for tacos.
Money for a Magenta is the ticket to new experiences, new ideas, and new ways of doing things. Magentas love to travel, to explore other countries, to mix with the people and live among them. They can be seen folk dancing in the town square and learning to speak the local language from children. Magentas are the free spirits of the spectrum and travel with the protection provided charmed individuals.
Magentas can also he practical and down to earth about money. They know the value of a dollar; they just don't want to be tied down by that value system. In their finances, as in all other aspects of their lives, Magentas know the value and meaning of living each moment as it comes. They are not much interested in deferRed gratification, but they have a healthy respect for the here and now.
Magenta Careers
Magentas do well in occupations that have a great deal of flexibility, creativity, and potential for innovative ideas and inventions. They need jobs and careers that require little supervision (such as art therapy with disturbed children) or, conversely, a great deal of supervision (such as acting under a strong director).
The ideal careers for Magentas are those wherein they can make a great deal of money during a short period of concentrated effort. This gives them the financial flexibility to take time off to explore different aspects of themselves and their environment. Any career in the performing arts would serve them nicely. They do especially well in all forms of comedy improvisational, stand-up, and comic acting.
Because they are so ingenious, they can work independently as artists, inventors, or writers. They can take advantage of short, intense periods of creative, fertile solitude. They do not necessarily need the inspiration or motivation that comes from being with others. However, they do need a representative or agent to supervise their work from drawing board to production. They are not interested in the details, but are strongly aware of bottom lines and financial outcomes.
Magentas do well in any career or occupation on the leading edge. Such jobs appeal to their fascination with the bright, the young, and the new. For example, they would be good as art directors, photographers, or designers for slick new magazines. The Magenta would love to investigate, photograph, or sell whatever product or idea is the latest and hottest in clothes, music, people, entertainment, and travel.
Magentas make excellent salespeople, especially when they are selling toys-makeup, clothes, antiques, or concepts. They entice the customer into the fantasy and then make the sales pitch. Because of this ability to live in their fantasy, Magentas also make good entrepreneurs. They are capable of dynamically visualizing success, and then making the imagined goal a reality.
Magenta Social Interactions
Magentas love people. They are the madcaps of the spectrum-full of fun, willing to be outrageous, daring to do the things the rest of us wish we had the courage to do. They entertain with laughter, fin, skits, and foolishness. When you are invited to a Magenta's home, you never know what you will be in for. When they allow their imaginations free rein, a luau on the fire escape of a New York walk-up would not be an impossibility.
The only way to enjoy a Magenta's party, social life, or friendship is to get into the swing of things. Magentas are unpRedictable, nonconforming, and relatively oblivious to rigid social customs. Magentas are without malice; they are not angry, nor are they antisocial. They simply have a different view of life. Often, when the pressure to conform becomes too great, they create their own hilarious backlash. Even when confronted with painful, restrictive childhoods, Magentas intuitively know that laughter is the best medicine. They enjoy the absurdities of life. Only a Magenta would have a pink plastic flamingo as a living room centerpiece.
Magentas find unusual things to see and do wherever they are. The more outrageous the event or activity, the more fun. They love mixing up their realities. When Magentas need a lift, they invite all their friends to attend a silent film and make up a story to go along with the action on the screen.
Magentas make friends wherever they go. Every encounter is an opportunity for them to get to know how others think and feel. Magentas collect a wide spectrum of friends who are as eclectic as their agglomeration of home decorating items. They take comfort in listening to the ways other people break away from their own bonds of conformity. The unifying factor among the friendships and relationships formed by a Magenta is that there is no unifying factor. They collect people with unusual occupations and interests the way some of us collect stamps, appreciating them for their beauty, their art, and their individuality.
Because most of their friends are as footloose as they are, they do not establish the tight bonds of catering that are often taken for granted by other Personality Spectrums colors. That is not to say that Magentas are not considerate or caring. They prefer to be relieved from the pressure (and fear) of confining or stultifying responsibility of caring for another person. Occasionally their feelings get hurt when they think they have been ignored, but hurt feelings are a small price to pay in exchange for being relieved of the burden of responsibility.
Magentas tend to marry often, not out of fickleness or an inability to maintain long-term relationships, but because they feel that when they have learned all the life lessons they can from a given relationship, it is time to move on. They also marry because they know that commitment enhances a couple's opportunity to learn from the experience of being together. Magentas also love to be the guest of honor at a party and what more appropriate party than their own wedding?
Magentas also have a facility for departing from relationships in such a way as to leave the other person emotionally, physically, and spiritually intact. Magentas are not destroyers. They are learners and experimenters; they are the participant observer within a culture of their own creation. They remain friends with their former mates, often regarding them as part of an extended family, so to speak.
Individuals who marry frequently or who have had many serial relationships are not necessarily Magentas. Magentas are distinctive in that they choose their partners carefully for the life lessons a relationship with them offers. In addition, the Magenta's partners are usually aware that the relationship, even though they have gone through a marriage ceremony, is not necessarily permanent.

Magenta Emotional Approach to Life
The greatest problem for Magentas is loneliness. Few people can tolerate the skewed perspective so natural for a Magenta. When they attempt to conform, Magentas lose touch with what makes life worth living for them, and this often plunges them into deep despair. Female Magentas are often programmed by society to believe that the fastest road to happiness lies in being like a Blue-the natural caretaker of the spectrum. However, for Magenta women this is the fastest road to madness. Magentas are basically loners. They don't mean to be and they are not always pleased that they have difficulty finding compatible mates and partners. However, their work habits, living arrangements, and restless energy make it difficult for them to create and foster long-term loving relationships. Their lives are often filled with happy chances or disastrous snafus and miscommunications. They neither want nor need to be organized, and this trait keeps some potential mates away. A Magenta needs to ask this question when beginning a relationship: How much confusion and disorganization is too much? Until a Magenta can answer that question, a relationship will last only as long as the other individual's ability to tolerate ambiguity. Their quicksilver vibrancy, eclectic ideas, and outrageous solutions to simple problems make Magentas attractive and fun to be with. However, living all of life on the brink can be tiring for most of the other Personality Spectrums colors. When one is courting, coleslaw for dinner at 3:00 A.M. is the stuff of memories. But for a Magenta, that's life. The question they ask is: Doesn't everyone eat dinner at 3:OOam? Emotionally, Magentas are reacting to the confinement of their parents' expectations: get good grades, clean your room, make a few good friends, and participate in school, church, or neighborhood activities. To the Magenta, these requirements seem like life sentences, as crippling to their personality as the Chinese foot-binding custom would be to their feet. These children need to explore their environment and interact dynamically with it. These are the children who want to try something just because it is there. Magentas may conform temporarily in order to please their parents. When they go out on their own, however, they will explore the limits of their tangible reality. One of the first things they do is to choose extreme hairstyles in hairdo and clothing. But their extremes are zany rather than ugly or bizarre. They love authentic innovation, and are especially good at showing fads for what they are-mindless. Magentas will take various fad garments and combine them in such a way as to make a new statement. Their fashion sense is one of fun, not anger. Magentas can swing between high and low moods. The highs are expressions of freedom, sense of self, acceptance, and creativity. The lows result from trying to please others, loss of sense of self, and finding no way out of a mundane or humdrum existence. They can lessen the severity of these mood swings by choosing careers or occupations that allow or even encourage them to develop their own style. Artistic pursuits-sign painting, staging of rock bands, performing as a mime or a clown - offer opportunities to build a bridge between the inner reality of the self and the outer reality of society. They can also choose to live in those parts of the country or world where they are less conspicuous in their uniqueness. A Magenta in a small town will have more difficulty than a Magenta in San Francisco or New York City.
Magenta Spiritual Approach to Life
As the nonconformists of the spectrum, Magentas are unwilling to be bound by any convention, set of rules, or code of laws regulating behavior, attitudes, or beliefs. Magentas will only stay involved with a system or organization as long as they are free to come and go as they please, taking what they need and returning when they need replenishment or renewal.
]Magentas, as one of the Physical (environmental) Personality Spectrums colors, have a strong connection to the earth. Religious practices that are too mental or emotional do not appeal to Magentas. They need to be grounded in their spirituality; they prefer outdoor services or activities that put them in direct communion with nature.
Magentas have a close connection with nature because plants and animals make no demands on them other than that they be allowed to coexist. Magentas find solace in nature, an acceptance of who they are at the core. Walks in the woods or the park and planting, tending, or harvesting crops are ways in which Magentas express their spirituality. Any retreat facility would do well to have a Magenta on staff-to tend to the ecology and to educate guests and participants in the relationship between nature, humanity, and spirituality.
Magentas are reluctant to join any church or organization. They are unwilling to commit themselves for fear of being tied down. They resent demands being made on them that they cannot be sure of fulfilling. Like the other Physical (environment) colors, Magentas can be depended upon once they give their word-but they do not often give their word. They prefer to keep all their options open, to be able to come and go within a group or an organization as they feel the need to learn and grow. They prefer loosely knit organizations to those that are more rigidly structured because they like to feel that the door is open for them.
For Magentas, religious services and rituals need to be more practical and utilitarian than those offered by most religions. For all their zaniness, Magentas can be very down-to-earth. They see the value in the cycle of the seasons, with the attendant duties and responsibilities within each season. Through the enactment of ritual, they can attune their lives to the seasons. By being able to concentrate on metaphysical as well as physical concerns, Magentas can maintain balance and emotional stability in their lives. This sense of balance in turn gives them a centeredness, a sense of who they are and what their purpose in life is.
Magenta Leadership
The Magentas' personal power lies in their willingness to set their own rules no matter the ramifications, since conforming to social norms and expectations is so physically painful for them. Their solution is to move to places, usually large cities, where their uniqueness can be absorbed in the milieu and where they can blend into the cityscape. They choose friends who appreciate their alternative view of life, and they avoid people who insist on doing things the way they have always been done. Magentas don't care how things have always been done. In fact, that is no recommendation at all to the Magentas. Their response is Why?" For them, change is the essence of being; change allows them to feel safe and in control of their environment. Whereas most colors need a sense of familiarity in their lives, to Magentas sameness is death, not safety.
Magentas are not leaders in the accepted sense of the word. They are not organized, nor do they have the dynamic personal power and charisma we associate with good leaders. Instead, Magentas lead by showing us the stagnation in our lives. By painting larger-than-life cans of tomato soup, Andy Warhol asked us to reconsider what we regard as important. Magentas lead by understanding what they experience on the inner planes of their psyches. They then have the courage to act on that information, making portions of their environment conform to their view of their inner space. Magentas are not rebellious, nor is their creative expression especially angry. They simply see reality differently than most people do, and they attempt to somehow bring their environment into harmony and balance with their internal perspective.
The greatest problem for Magentas is loneliness. Few people can tolerate the skewed perspective so natural for a Magenta. When they attempt to conform, Magentas lose touch with what makes life worth living for them, and this often plunges them into deep despair. Female Magentas are often programmed by society to believe that the fastest road to happiness lies in being like a Blue-the natural caretaker of the spectrum.

Artistic pursuits-sign painting, staging of rock bands, performing as a mime or a clown - offer opportunities to build a bridge between the inner reality of the self and the outer reality of society. They can also choose to live in those parts of the country or world where they are less conspicuous in their uniqueness. A Magenta in a small town will have more difficulty than a Magenta in San Francisco or New York City.
Magenta Spiritual Approach to Life
As the nonconformists of the spectrum, Magentas are unwilling to be bound by any convention, set of rules, or code of laws regulating behavior, attitudes, or beliefs. Magentas will only stay involved with a system or organization as long as they are free to come and go as they please, taking what they need and returning when they need replenishment or renewal.
]Magentas, as one of the Physical (environmental) Personality Spectrums colors, have a strong connection to the earth. Religious practices that are too mental or emotional do not appeal to Magentas. They need to be grounded in their spirituality; they prefer outdoor services or activities that put them in direct communion with nature.
Magentas have a close connection with nature because plants and animals make no demands on them other than that they be allowed to coexist. Magentas find solace in nature, an acceptance of who they are at the core. Walks in the woods or the park and planting, tending, or harvesting crops are ways in which Magentas express their spirituality. Any retreat facility would do well to have a Magenta on staff-to tend to the ecology and to educate guests and participants in the relationship between nature, humanity, and spirituality.
Magentas are reluctant to join any church or organization. They are unwilling to commit themselves for fear of being tied down. They resent demands being made on them that they cannot be sure of fulfilling. Like the other Physical (environment) colors, Magentas can be depended upon once they give their word-but they do not often give their word. They prefer to keep all their options open, to be able to come and go within a group or an organization as they feel the need to learn and grow. They prefer loosely knit organizations to those that are more rigidly structured because they like to feel that the door is open for them.
For Magentas, religious services and rituals need to be more practical and utilitarian than those offered by most religions. For all their zaniness, Magentas can be very down-to-earth. They see the value in the cycle of the seasons, with the attendant duties and responsibilities within each season. Through the enactment of ritual, they can attune their lives to the seasons. By being able to concentrate on metaphysical as well as physical concerns, Magentas can maintain balance and emotional stability in their lives. This sense of balance in turn gives them a centeredness, a sense of who they are and what their purpose in life is.
Magenta Leadership
The Magentas' personal power lies in their willingness to set their own rules no matter the ramifications, since conforming to social norms and expectations is so physically painful for them. Their solution is to move to places, usually large cities, where their uniqueness can be absorbed in the milieu and where they can blend into the cityscape. They choose friends who appreciate their alternative view of life, and they avoid people who insist on doing things the way they have always been done. Magentas don't care how things have always been done. In fact, that is no recommendation at all to the Magentas. Their response is Why?" For them, change is the essence of being; change allows them to feel safe and in control of their environment. Whereas most colors need a sense of familiarity in their lives, to Magentas sameness is death, not safety.
Magentas are not leaders in the accepted sense of the word. They are not organized, nor do they have the dynamic personal power and charisma we associate with good leaders. Instead, Magentas lead by showing us the stagnation in our lives. By painting larger-than-life cans of tomato soup, Andy Warhol asked us to reconsider what we regard as important. Magentas lead by understanding what they experience on the inner planes of their psyches. They then have the courage to act on that information, making portions of their environment conform to their view of their inner space. Magentas are not rebellious, nor is their creative expression especially angry. They simply see reality differently than most people do, and they attempt to somehow bring their environment into harmony and balance with their internal perspective.
Magentas are jesters. They are zany, spontaneous, offbeat, outrageous, physical, innovative, in the here-and-now, inventors, attention-seekers. Sometimes they're loners.
The key to understanding the Magenta Personality Spectrum’s color is their unwillingness to conform to the expectations and norms set by society. These individuals seek to express their individuality by using, with creativity and flair, the belongings and raw materials at their disposal. Because they look at life through a Magenta filter, they tend to be viewed as the nonconformists of the spectrum.
The single most difficult thing for a Magenta is to understand the difference between commitment and entrapment. For a Magenta to be locked into a nine-to-five job, to be married and have children, and to run a household, would be a form of insanity. They need to learn to create for themselves a lifestyle that works for them and does not impinge on the sensibilities of others. Magentas revitalize our concept of creativity by offering a new perspective, opening new vistas and exploring new points of departure.
Magenta Physical Approach to Life
Reds want to subdue reality, and Oranges want to conquer it; Magentas want to push physical reality to the leaky margins - that locale where fantasy and reality become a blur. Magentas consider life worth living only if they can listen to their own inner drummer. They live on the edge, creating three-dimensional physical environment in their mind's eye that is very different from the one we experience in our day-to-day existence.
Magentas create in the physical environment in ways that are similar to those of their sister Personality Spectrums colors, Red and Orange. They prefer products to abstractions. Magentas work with the tangible but creative material aspects of the world. They find their greatest satisfaction when manipulating, working with, changing, or building something real and specific. So much the better if it is outrageous, off-the-wall and controversial.
Their innovative, creative, fertile minds lead them to explore the unusual, bizarre, arty, or trendy. Their nonconformity allows them to skew their perspective on the world, making them unique. Out of this new, fresh perspective comes the gift of this color, creating experiences that allow the rest of us to see the world from an alternative point of view. It is as if the Magentas ask us to put on three-D glasses, turning our flat two-dimensional world into one with depth and perspective. Everyday life looks quite different.
Magentas are outrageous, and they prefer it that way. They take pride in their refusal to adapt to any of society's mechanisms of lockstep thinking or behavior. By creating a totally original point of view, Magentas give us an opportunity to laugh at ourselves. They encourage us to find ways to express our own divergent individuality by expressing their own.
Magenta Mental Approach to Life
Magentas have bright, agile minds-fleet as quicksilver. However, they are unwilling to master acres of boring details. They become experts in the field that interests them, or in which they might choose to make a living. But if they do not see much need for information, they refuse to clutter their minds with inessential details. Like the other Physical (environmental) colors, the Magentas are strong-willed and determined about the things they regard as important. They are eclectic in their learning. They can be excellent students when the subject interests them or they see a need to learn about it. Otherwise a Magenta will move heaven and earth to create a diversion-preferably one that entertains the entire class. School subjects that appeal to inquiring minds, taught by teachers who are flexible and creative, are ideally suited to a Magenta. Magentas do well in drama, English, debate, forensics, the arts, science, if allowed to "play" in the tabs), physical education, and crafts such as woodworking and welding.
Magentas need to develop the ability to stay with a project until it is completed. Each new project is like a silver lure, sparkling and twisting through the water, distracting the attention of the Magentas from what they are supposed to be doing. Learning to finish a job is one of the most difficult challenges for a Magenta. Short projects that are easy to bring to conclusion build confidence and pride in the Magenta. Once the Magenta experiences the satisfaction of accomplishment. it becomes easier for him or her to stay focused for longer and longer periods of time. This is one of the major skills necessary to the Magentas' happiness and well-being-it allows them a wider range of career choices and a greater chance of success.
Their mental process appears to be haphazard when, in fact, most Magentas have a very clear idea of what they want to create, say, or do. Because their nature is to stretch the limits of everything they encounter-products, social customs, mores, relationships, and standards by which most of us judge and evaluate our reality-Magentas are constantly searching for new and different ways to use everyday items. Many Magentas are inventors of those handy gadgets that the rest of us couldn't get along without. They are continually fascinated by what is in the marketplace.

Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears from behind my eyes but I do not cry
Counting the days that past me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
We the stars fall and I lie awake
Your my shooting star

Hi people! I'm back! Feeling somewhat UNSTRESSED! Can you believe it? I'm not stressed. Yes I have lots of work to do.. But I'm not freaked out about it. Maybe it's the HOLIDAYS that are coming. ahahaha..
Today, I'm gonna talk about IDENTITY. Identity is not easy to understand. I mean, I don't really know what MY identity is. Is it an image I create and try to follow? Or maybe it's the environment or genes?
So I guess I'm constantly searching, seeking my true identity[is there such a thing?]
So far, I'd like to think myself as someone who is capable of great things. I'm optimistic and will do what it takes to get what I want.
I love to spend a lot.. sometimes on impulse. But it's not the items that I buy but the power to spend and to get a target [I guess I have that hunter instinct like guys]
I love to buy pens, pencils, pencil cases and all sorts of stationery! I think they are really cool for collection and use? Yea, I'm a penaholic. haha. I love pencil cases.. they come in all different forms and shapes and colours. And tells a lot about the owner.
I'm interested in wicca.. it's really a peaceful, environmental-loving religion =]
Here are some stuff I bought today..
Food above all! Yummy double chocolate stuff from chewy junior at bugis junction!
Plastic-feeling shoes from bugis street. Looks quite simple and sweet [Like the new owner =D]
V light weight shoes also from the same shop. Nice and comfy. Retro feeling. 10 bucks per pair!
Cheap watch. 5 bucks. But I like the mix of roman and numerical.. it's kinda showing there's a change in way of representation. Also the feel of the metallic strap is different from the norm.
In short, I love changes for the sake of changes. It gives me a new idea, a new way of looking at things. And im curious about how things can be. =]
So.. Bye bye shoes.. bye bye nike watch...
