Behind the name

Have you ever wondered the meaning behind your name? Do you believe that your name plays a role in your personality? Do you believe in the concept of numerology? Well, I do. However, I'm not saying that it is thoroughly accurate.

Last night, my sister gave me a link where all you need to do is type in your full name. And, it will give you your numerology interpretation.

Here's my result:

There are 32 letters in your name.
Those 32 letters total to 132
There are 13 vowels and 19 consonants in your name.

What your first name means:

EnglishMaleBeaver stream, from the beaver meadow. Derived from a surname and place name. First used as a boy's first name in the late 19th century, it gradually came to be used also as a girl's name, although Beverly is the more common feminine form.
EnglishFemaleBeaver stream, woman from the beaver meadow. Derived from a surname and place name. First used as a boy's first name in the late 19th century, it gradually came to be used also as a girl's name, although Beverly is the more common feminine form.

Your number is: 6

The characteristics of #6 are: Responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy.

The expression or destiny for #6:
The number 6 Expression provides you a truly outstanding sense of responsibility, love, and balance. The 6 is helpful and ever conscientious, making you quite capable of rectifying and balancing any sort of inharmonious situation. You are a person very much inclined to give help and comfort to those in need. You have a natural penchant for working with the old, the young, the sick, or the underprivileged. Although you may have considerable creative and artistic talents, the chances are that you will devote yourself to an occupation that shows concern for the betterment of the community.

The positive side of the number 6 suggests that you are very loving, friendly, and appreciative of others. You have a depth of understanding that produces much sympathetic, kindness, and generosity. The qualities of the 6 make the finest and most concerned parent and one often deeply involved in domestic activities. Openness and honesty is apparent in your approach to all relationships.

If there is an excess of the number 6 in your makeup, you may exhibit some of the negative traits associated with this number. There may be a tendency for you to be too exacting and demanding of yourself. In this regard, you may at times sacrifice yourself (or your loved ones) for the welfare of others. In some cases, the over zealous 6 has difficulty distinguishing helping from interfering. You may have difficulty expressing your own individuality, because of involvement with responsibilities and causes. Like all with the Expression of the number 6, it's quite likely that you worry much too much.

Your Soul Urge number is: 7

A Soul Urge number of 7 means:
With a number 7 Soul Urge you are very fond of reading, and retreating to periods of being alone and away from the disruptions of the outer world. You like to dream and develop you idealistic understandings, to study and analyze, to gain knowledge and wisdom. You may be too laid back and withdrawn to really succeed in the business world, and you will be much more comfortable in circumstances that are tolerant of your reserve, your analytical approach, and your desire to use your mind rather than your physical being.

You are very timid around people that you don't know very well, so much so at times that casual conversation and social situations can be strained. You tend to repress your emotions to the extend that some people have a good bit of difficult understanding you. You tend to be very selective with friends and you don't easily adapt to new environments or to new people very quickly.

The negative traits of the 7 include becoming too much the introvert and isolated from others.

Your Inner Dream number is: 8

An Inner Dream number of 8 means:
You dream of success in the business or political world, of power and control of large material endeavors. You crave authority and recognition of executive skills. Your secret self may have very strong desire to become an entrepreneur.


How accurate is my result? I would say 80%. Why? I guess there are just some aspects of my personality that I haven't figured out yet. :D Try it yourself too! Just click on this link http://www.paulsadowski.com/Numbers.asp. See for yourself if the results matches your personality.

A different perspective

I had a rough day yesterday. But, I'm feeling a lot better now. After getting some sleep and rest, I was able to view things in different perspective. And of course, it also helped that my boyfriend had been there to make me laugh and to comfort me with a hug. :))))

Morever, the situation yesterday reminded me with this simple quotation. It goes like this:I like the practical simplicity of this statement: If people talk negatively about you, live in such a way that no one will believe them.". I think this is just the right solution. :)

A change of personality ...

Last December 2005, I took Jung Typology Test. Back then, I was an ISFJ, the Nurturer. It stands for Introverted (11%), Sensing (1%), Feeling (50%), Judging (11%). The percentage refers to the strength of preference. I retake again the test in a hurry last week and my result was INFJ, the Mystic. Since I hastily took the test, I decided to retake the test again to make sure of it's validity. I . Based on Human Metrics Jung Typology Test and Similar Minds Jung Typology Test, I am now an ESFJ personality.

ESFJs are helpful people who place a high value on harmony. Paying close attention to people's needs and wants, they work well with others to complete tasks in a timely and accurate way. ESFJs follow through on their commitments. They like closure and prefer structured, organized situations in which warmth and compassion are shown. They contribute to others by anticipating their day-to-day concerns and handling them with warmth and efficiency. ESFJs are at their best in organizing people to get a job done.

Am I capable of killing?

Probability of killing, 45%

So you have problems with enemies, maybe dont have a high enough self-esteem, or play a few violent videogames. Cutting it a little close there. Try to keep your cool, alright?

Are you capable of killing



This is cool, I just saw it on my friend's blog. I've always been hot-headed and temperamental. However, I always manage to keep it in check. Yeah, I know. I blabber a lot when I'm angry but it's more bark that bite. It's just my way of expressing myself sometimes through a friend, sometimes through blogging. I really try not to let my anger controls me. I hope I can always do this. I don't want to hurt or do something stupid in the heat of the moment. At least, now I now or I have an idea if I am capable of hurting or killing someone? Scary??? Kinda, but I prefer to see this as a tool to properly manage my temper.

Important note! - Well, hopefully you found this quiz enlightening. if you scored low, than good. You can control yourself easily. If you got a high score, beware of yourself! - Caleb, creator of this site.

If it rains, it pours....

Just like the old saying goes, if it rains, it pours. I'm having a bad day or so I thought. I don't have any sleep till now. My sister and I were kicked out of our room (of course! not literally) coz' my mom's going to used it. She cannot sleep on her own room because her air conditioning is broken. So from 8am onwards, we were stuck in our living room feeling hot and sticky. We were so downright bored. There were no computer, no dvds, no tv, no aircon to make the day worthwhile. To top it all, my brother had the luxury of his own room to himself.

Don't get me wrong! I understand my mom's need to have a long sleep. After all, I also work at night. But I just don't understand her logic of insisting to use our room instead of our brother. Why can't she use my brother's room to sleep in? Then, my brother can sleep in ours. So all of us will be comfortable.


Why does she have to choose our room? Arrghhh!

===

Am I having a bad day? NO! It's getting worse. When I reached the office, I was bombarded with rumors that I'm sleeping while on my station and over break. Okay, I admit I was guilty of sleeping on our station. But that was so long ago, I had a hard time adjusting to my 12-shift during the first couple of weeks. So don't you think it's understandable? Over break? When was this? Most of the time, I don't take my breaks because there should be always someone in our station. And even if I do, I'm just using it to buy my food then I'll just eat on our station. Talk about injustice! And I was told that the one who stated that I was over break and sleeping in our station is someone from the morning shift. Now that's ironic, isn't it? How can he monitor me during my shift? Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Anyway, I'll verify all of this to the source. I wonder what will be her say. :(((
