I checked out Krysta's blogger and she had a profile from www.colorgenics.com. It's pretty cool. Read what it said about me =)

(thanks for the idea Krysta!)

"You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to "All things bright and beautiful". This personifies a caring person... A person who "needs" and indeed "needs to be needed".

You are experiencing considerable difficulty trying to achieve your goals. As a consequence of this you are becoming more and more irritable. Your friends and acquaintances are finding it increasingly more difficult to appease or to reason with you.. You are the cause of your own problems .... Don't be so impulsive. It is your vacillation that can lead to problems and uncertainties. Ease up a little..

Everyone has to compromise at times.. and circumstances are such, that at this time you are feeling the need to do just that. Put all of your hopes on the back burner and let matters flow...for a time...forgo some of the things you want. The good times are around the corner.

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity... and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are.. but no.. you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself make you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest ... beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.

You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from a close and harmonious relationship."

hmmmm....

Yesterday we had a 4 hour break in between classes. so 3 of us girls decided to go out for lunch. i mentioned to them about this japanese restaurant that i saw just down the street from the school. Apparently they've never eaten japanese food before. they just think "raw fish." i told them it's one of the best foods in the world! so we went there for lunch. i was kind of worried about them liking the food because they're such picky eaters. but i told them what was good and they ordered what i had suggested. We ordered the spider roll, chicken teriyaki, and beef teriyaki. It was funny cuz when i pointed to the picture of the spider roll after my friend ordered, she yelled,"THAT'S WHAT I ORDERED?! It's the ugliest thing on the menu." The miso soup and salad came first, and none of them touched it. i didn't wanna be the only one eating, so i sorta sipped my soup and picked at my salad. they were amazed by how well i used the chopsticks. (btw, my friends are italian and domican.. none of them asian). the lunch came and they were both satisfied with what they got. they called me the sofisticated one of the bunch cuz of all the foods i eat. next time i told them we're going to eat thai bbq. apparently i'm their link to the asian world. hahaha.
