Left-Brain vs. Right Brain

June 30th 2009 04:06
People who are left-brain dominant are said to be organized, logical, good at following directions, good in science and math, etc. While people who are right-brain dominant are said to be absentminded, spontaneous, not good at following verbal directions, good at writing, drawing or playing an instrument, etc.

To figure out which side of your brain is more dominant, take this test from The Art Institute of Vancouverr. My result revealed I'm right-brain dominant, which might explain why I'm so bad at remembering names but good at remembering faces.

Interactive Spelling Bee

June 11th 2009 17:57
There are many creative people out there and perhaps most of them are posting their videos on YouTube, Take this video for example that tests your spelling prowess in a very unique way. I haven't completed the test yet so I'm unsure whether this is suitable for kids, but for the young at heart like me, I think you'll enjoy this.

Why It's Not Good to be Too Nice

June 3rd 2009 15:38
I don't usually post personal issues on my blog, but today I felt the need to rant. You see, I'm one of those soft-hearted people who have been taken advantaged of time and time again. And although I'm not as gullible as I once was, there are still times when compassion clouds my judgment.

As hard as it is to admit, there are certain people in my life who only remembers me when they need help. it's like a one-sided relationship; I give, they receive...end of story. it's not like I'm expecting anything tangible in return, I mean would it hurt to ask me how I'm doing from time to time or to greet me on my birthday?

The Downside to Fame

June 2nd 2009 15:07
By now many of you may be familiar with the name Susan Boyle; the 47-year old woman from Scotland who shot to stardom after her brilliant audition on Britain's Got Talent. Susan's story inspired millions of people, including me. And if residents in the United States were allowed to vote on the said show, I would have surely voted for her. Alas, Susan didn't win Britain's Got Talent, it was a dance group called Diversity that won. However, I'm sure offers are lined up for Susan because she really has a beautiful voice and I believe she deserves a break.

The latest news on Susan is that she has been admitted into a hospital for what seems to be exhaustion. I can only imagine the extreme pressure she has been subjected to as the result of her sudden fame. What really bothers me about all this is how quickly some people change their minds; one minute they are celebrating this woman and the next they are tearing her down. Is it really in our nature to be so cruel?
