Smiley Face in the Sky - Dec 1, 2008

Photo by Mike Salway

Whuhuhu...I missed the chance to see this stunning "smile in the sky" last December 1, 2008 [in Philippines]. I was relaxing in Ortigas during that night. And I didn't even try to look up in the sky.

Take the Dante's Inferno Test


First Level of Hell - LimboCharon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

My Imagini DNA


Are you a Physics major?


Due to the enormous workload involved in physics classes combined with stress and lack of sleep, physics students often forget (either by accident, defense mechanism, or intentionally) what their major really is. Thus, as a physics major, I took it upon myself to create a small list of indicators to help us all remember what we really are.

YOU MIGHT BE A PHYSICS MAJOR...
  • if you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
  • if you enjoy pain.
  • if you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
  • if you chuckle whenever anyone says 'centrifugal force.'
  • if you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
  • if when you look in a mirror, you see a physics major.
  • if it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
  • if you always do homework on Friday and Saturday nights.
  • if you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
  • if you think in 'math.'
  • if you've calculated that the World Series actually diverges.
  • if you hesitate to look at something because you don't want to break down its wave function.
  • if you have a pet named after a scientist.
  • if you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
  • if the Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
  • if you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says 'Exit.'
  • if you have to bring a jacket with you, in the middle of summer, because there's a wind-chill factor in the lab.
  • if you are completely addicted to PhysLink.com.
  • if you avoid doing anything because you don't want to contribute to the eventual heat-death of the universe.
  • if you consider ANY non-science course 'easy.'
  • if when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
  • if the 'fun' center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
  • if you'll assume that a 'horse' is a 'sphere' in order to make the math easier.
  • if you understood more than five of these indicators.
  • if you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.
If these indicators apply to you, there is good reason to suspect that you might be classified as a physics major. I hope this clears up any confusion.

Wooow, my Math teacher in 4th year HS was right! I'm perfectionist! I know it...I think the 'perfectionism' should be 90% and above.

Hahaha!


Some of Cattell's 16 Factor Key:

High percentage in:
Perfectionism - orderly, thorough
Intellect - cerebral, analytical
Openmindedness - curious, exploratory
Independence - loner, craves solitude

Low percentage in:
Sensitivity - coarse, tough ...really??
Abstractness - practical, regular ... I don't think so, I prefer strange 'beings'
Tension - relaxed, cool

Philosopher as of Feb.6, 2008

Which philosopher are you?
Your Result: Immanuel Kant

There are things in themselves, but they are unimportant to us. We must interpret everything through certain immutable categories, such as time and the laws of physics. All rational animals must see the world through these categories, and what they see is unrelated to the things in themselves.

--This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

Aristotle
Early Wittgenstein / Positivists
Plato (strict rationalists)
W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein
Sartre/Camus (late existentialists)
Nietzsche

As of February 6, 2008..

I was surprised in this result. Though, it's not guarateed that this go-to-quiz test is true. Since when the first time I tried it, the result revealed that I was a strict rationalist, "Plato".

Hehehe, it's pretty cool to try this test!

I will try it again when I finish my course in Philosophy this second semester.

Kulang sa Lakbay

I have not explored much of my country

My Lakbayan grade is D!How much of the Philippines have you visited? Find out at Lakbayan!Created by Eugene Villar.

Hahaha, I expected that I will get a fair grade in this cool test. Yes, I'm not a certified traveler. But if I have an extra bucks and I'm not busy, definitely I'd like to explore much of my country. I still believe that Philippines is still a beautiful place (honestly, in most provinces and natural parks not in urban areas) in spite of its poor economy, polluted cities, some of greedy politicians and undisciplined citizens.
