This Whole MBTI Thing Woke Me

This Whole MBTI Thing Woke Me - J vs P

I know some people take this seriously. I've seen interviewers do it; and before my son was allowed to even take on a college entrance exam, he was asked to do something like this. Not because they don't want him but it was because we asked for student counselling. So, as a part of their evaluation process, they asked my son to answer some questions before they can properly profile him and offer suggestions as to the kind of courses which might suit him best.

I've done the test multiple times and 90pc of the time, I come up as ENFP, one of the most unorganized, chaotic characters of all. Kind of true, but over time, I've changed. I've become less of an 'E' (extrovert) and more of an 'I" (Introvert).

Circumstances.

Anyway, as I watched this video as a person with 'P' (perceiving), I cannot understand these people who are predominantly 'J' (Judgement).

How do you live your life like this? Don't things go awry? Don't your plans go wrong? Don't you have friends who suddenly pull you into the corner and whisper into your ear, "That cute guy is about to ask you out. Do it but don't do it. We just need the drinks."

Don't we all have that friend? No?

Anyway, Seo In Guk is a 'P' like me; I watched this and felt all kinds of anxiety. If you're a 'P', YOLO? I don't know what else to say without dissing on people who are 'J'. There's nothing wrong with people who are 'J'; in fact, it would and might be good for us to close to J people. Because we don't have a plan, and they have all the plans. It's a matter of whether we want to follow their plan or when a fancy hits us, will they go with ours.

I feel you, Seo In Guk.

The reason why this is resonating with me is because I am moving house, YET FUCKING AGAIN, and I cannot find it in me to be strategic or organized. I bet those 'J' people would have everything worked out a month before moving out/in, but I have 1 one who is exactly like me...nothing has been done so far.

I am tired, exhausted, stressed, anxious, and on the verge of a panic attack. But I think I can do it. I think. When I say something like this, I tend to go OTT. But I guess, in this instance, it is OK.

XOXO,
Marsha

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
