What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

I visited blogthings.com and typed my full name. Then I got this hidden meaning of my complete name. Yes, I know myself as determined, but powerful?? Ahm, NO!! I'm not a Superwoman okay...Hahahahaha

If you want to try this. Just visit the link below. This is coL!!!

You Are Powerful and Determined

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

Raise your child to be succesful

I read this blog from my High School classmate Angela. I believe I have to copy and paste it so that other bloggers may read this. Especially those people who wanna be the best moms and best dads (in the future) to their kids. Thanks for sharing this Angela! I'm proud na naging classmate kita!!! hehehe

P.S. Kapag umuwi ka ng Pinas, magpakita ka!!! Proud of yah!!

I’m 23, I have no kids and I am not successful – yet. I know you think I have no authority whatsoever to tell you how to raise your kids. I hope you won’t find my advice too presumptuous – you can take it or leave it. This is just based on how my mom raised us and from my other overachieving Asian-American friends.

I have a lot of high school friends who now have their own kids. In fact, one of my best friends is giving birth later this month. This is for all of you.

For many Asian-Americans, the family is a pivotal force. It provides their main source of strength and support. I hate to repeat a cliché but here goes: It takes a village to raise a child.

Parents need to start when their children are still very young, establish the necessary values that set the stage for future success.

Here’s my advice:

#1
Love your children and praise them often. It boosts their self-confidence.

#2
Teach them good values early. Just simple things like saying “please” and “thank you”, sharing their food and toys, being fair to siblings and playmates, can go a long way.

#3
Instill a love for learning and education.
It’s never too early to start encouraging a love for learning in your child. Read them books before bedtime. Invest in educational toys, books and videos and monitor what they watch on TV. Don’t be like me; I watched a lot of ER and NYPD Blue as a child. :D

Early childhood is the best time to start because young minds have an incredible capacity to absorb information. Encourage them to read widely and explore different genres.

#4
Expose your children to arts & culture early. Take them to see cultural dance presentations, theatrical plays, classical performances, etc.

#5
You are your child’s best role model, so be an example, be enthusiastic about learning. Remember, learning is a lifelong process. Let your kids see you reading – be it the newspaper, a book or a recipe. If you can find the time, read with your kids. Make it a habit.

If you have hobbies and a passion for something, include your children and share it with them. If you love art, take them to the museum with you. Teach them what you know. If you like fishing and camping, share these activities with your kids. Do you remember when you were a kid and convinced that your parents secret superheroes? Believe it or not, your kids think you are the smartest, the best and the coolest.

#6
Treat your kids like adults. Include them in discussions and in decisions. Ask them for their opinion. Encourage them to speak up.

#7
Surround your children with people who love learning and are in diverse fields. This will allow your kids to have a healthy respect for learning while also giving them information about various careers.

#8
Incorporate learning and education into all your kid's activities so that they don't associate learning primarily with school or homework.

My advice to ambitious and loving parents is this: your children will enjoy learning if you show them that learning and education is fun, rewarding, and worth your time.

Teach them that learning is ESSENTIAL. A love of learning is imperative to success in any field.

Lovely Painting by Joey Velasco

A good friend (Thanks JhayR!) recommended this documentary and KABOOM...while watching, Joy is crying. Ako?? Natulala na lang...reflected a bit and concluded..."The reason we're blessed is to bless others." Ayyy...that's the best part of life...To be a blessing. This 2009, I pray that God may continue to shower His Great Love so that I may continue to shower that Great Love to every person I meet.

Sigh. Ang sarap mabuhay!!! Salamat po Lord sa buhay
