Quick Reminder

This great script allows you to enter timed events or countdown time. It display the time remaining and has the option to be 'snoozed'. Most of all, it can handle multiple events. It's entirely made in AutoHotKey. Just thought I'd share it.

GTD Value: Imagine this. You look at your monitor screen and can readily see you have exactly 48 1 hour 5 minutes 21 seconds before you need to get ready to leave your home for school. That means i can do this or that from my list but I can't do project actions like this or that. It sort of made me more time conscious. :)

Portraits of an ISTJ

MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) has this to say about me...

------------------------

The Duty Fulfiller

As an ISTJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things rationally and logically.

ISTJs are quiet and reserved individuals who are interested in security and peaceful living. They have a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends them a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake.

ISTJs are very loyal, faithful, and dependable. They place great importance on honesty and integrity. They are "good citizens" who can be depended on to do the right thing for their families and communities. While they generally take things very seriously, they also usually have an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.

ISTJs tend to believe in laws and traditions, and expect the same from others. They're not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If they are able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, the ISTJ will support that effort. However, ISTJs more often tend to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. If an ISTJ has not developed their Intuitive side sufficiently, they may become overly obsessed with structure, and insist on doing everything "by the book".

The ISTJ is extremely dependable on following through with things which he or she has promised. For this reason, they sometimes get more and more work piled on them. Because the ISTJ has such a strong sense of duty, they may have a difficult time saying "no" when they are given more work than they can reasonably handle. For this reason, the ISTJ often works long hours, and may be unwittingly taken advantage of.

The ISTJ will work for long periods of time and put tremendous amounts of energy into doing any task which they see as important to fulfilling a goal. However, they will resist putting energy into things which don't make sense to them, or for which they can't see a practical application. They prefer to work alone, but work well in teams when the situation demands it. They like to be accountable for their actions, and enjoy being in positions of authority. The ISTJ has little use for theory or abstract thinking, unless the practical application is clear.

ISTJs have tremendous respect for facts. They hold a tremendous store of facts within themselves, which they have gathered through their Sensing preference. They may have difficulty understanding a theory or idea which is different from their own perspective. However, if they are shown the importance or relevance of the idea to someone who they respect or care about, the idea becomes a fact, which the ISTJ will internalize and support. Once the ISTJ supports a cause or idea, he or she will stop at no lengths to ensure that they are doing their duty of giving support where support is needed.

The ISTJ is not naturally in tune with their own feelings and the feelings of others. They may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, as they are presented. Being perfectionists themselves, they have a tendency to take other people's efforts for granted, like they take their own efforts for granted. They need to remember to pat people on the back once in a while.

ISTJs are likely to be uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. However, their strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows them to overcome their natural reservations, and they are usually quite supporting and caring individuals with the people that they love. Once the ISTJ realizes the emotional needs of those who are close to them, they put forth effort to meet those needs.

The ISTJ is extremely faithful and loyal. Traditional and family-minded, they will put forth great amounts of effort at making their homes and families running smoothly. They are responsible parents, taking their parenting roles seriously. They are usually good and generous providers to their families. They care deeply about those close to them, although they usually are not comfortable with expressing their love. The ISTJ is likely to express their affection through actions, rather than through words.

ISTJs have an excellent ability to take any task and define it, organize it, plan it, and implement it through to completion. They are very hard workers, who do not allow obstacles to get in the way of performing their duties. They do not usually give themselves enough credit for their achievements, seeing their accomplishments simply as the natural fulfillment of their obligations.

ISTJs usually have a great sense of space and function, and artistic appreciation. Their homes are likely to be tastefully furnished and immaculately maintained. They are acutely aware of their senses, and want to be in surroundings which fit their need for structure, order, and beauty.

Under stress, ISTJs may fall into "catastrophe mode", where they see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong. They will berate themselves for things which they should have done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress themselves with their visions of doom.

In general, the ISTJ has a tremendous amount of potential. Capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individuals with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living, the ISTJ has what it takes to be highly effective at achieving their chosen goals - whatever they may be.

Dreams

No. This is not about the dreams you get in your sleep. It's about dream as in goals.

What do I really want to do with my life? What would be my perfect life?
I guess, it would be, to live to be a 100 in good physical condition. Now what do I do with all those years? I want to be able to educate my children and my children's children on how to live the life they want. It's about freedom. For myself, I want to be able to go where I want to go and do what I want to do.

Well, let me try to define a typical day in my perfect life.

On a regular day, I'd wake up at 5 am in the morning to enjoy the quiet of the morning calm. I'll have a good and heavy breakfast. (sometimes, I'll cook it and on other days, well, there's the house help). Next, maybe an hour or two of exercise. Tai Chi for good chakra flow and flexibility. And then I don't mind jogging (in my estate grounds or maybe a nearby park, though I'd like a high tech thread mill too, just in case it rains). Swimming will also let me work on my breathing and provide low impact full body exercise. (This is beginning to sound like a rest house in the middle of a golf course).

Since my money-making assets are already providing me with more than my living expenses. I really don't have to work. So my typical day, would either be spent on the following:
Checking with my managers regarding the handling of my investments. You can't be lax to stay on top. :P
Teaching at a nearby school. I don't know. Maybe at the college level where I can educate in terms of nursing or the computer sciences or maybe at the lower levels, to give them a boost. I'd like to teach them about real life and how they too can attain freedom.
Maybe discovering things or writing programs that makes life at my home safer, and more efficients. Who knows, if I would be able to invent/design the first practical computerized house and revolutionize modern living as much as the invention of the light bulb.
I'd like to work part-time at a hospital too to keep my nursing skill sharp. I'd probably like the Emergency Room while I am young and will probably move towards another area as I grow older (to reduce exposure to pathogens in consideration of my aging immune system). Perhaps I can do a Private Practice thing. Or maybe a course in reflexology, will convert me to the local "hilot" in the area. Hahaha.

At night, I'd like to be available for my family. Maybe cook for them. I want to be available to help out my children and grand children in academic works and real life situations.

On weekends, I dream of being the coolest grandpa able to beat my grand-children on Tekken 12, or whatever the next generation fighting game might be. On certain seasons, I want to travel with my wife to places that she'd love to go. It doesn't really matter to me where so long as it's not too noisy. Las Vegas doesn't attract me but maybe the serene environment of Paris will.

And then, I don't know why... but I want to see the Aurora Borealis. The spectacular light show generated by the Earth's protective magnetic field as it fends off much of the sun's deadly rays. Yup, that will be the day I can say "I did it".

I may never know if God will ever grant me all these things. But having dreams is better than just living life the same way day-in and day-out. I know these are all possible (without the aid of the lottery too), through hard work, dedication and a sharp mind.

Faith /can/ move mountains. No longer am I the sarcastic kid, who wants to see it done literally. Mountains have been flattened by man's technology which goes to show that it is truly possible. Well, OK, not the most beautiful example but... Indeed, what the human mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Invictus

by: William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

• 20:24 its official. the hard drive is dead. let's see if I can install an OS on a USB Mass Storage, if not, mag live CD na lang sya ng knoopix.
• 23:39 I therefore conclude it's not possible to install XP on a USB & it's hard to get good connection to the Playstation Network. :( Off to sleep

The Road Not Taken

by: Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

------------------------------------
Helping Sam memorize this for school.

The Return

Sorry about the long silence. Nursing School was more difficult than I thought. Some random updates:

• just have 3 more 'terms' (summer, 1st sem and 2nd sem) to go before facing the Nursing License Exam (NLE).
• just moved back to my high school town. Purpose: support my brother and sister-in-law in their nursing studies while I also get reviewed for the NLE.

Hope to write some more... Good day to everyone.
