Sup brother?

Recently, I took an IQ exam over facebook. It says that I am way above average, my score is somewhere below 140. I did not publish it on my facebook page because of the following reasons:

1. I don't want to look like I'm boasting.

2. IQ is just a measure of how CAPABLE you are of learning. Therefore if you don't use your brain, you might be capable of learning a lot but your knowledge is ZERO. Being intelligent and having a high IQ is a different thing.

3. As Malcom Gladwell put it in his book Outliers, once a person is above a certain threshold, IQ is not anymore important. This is where Emotional Quotient and Social Intelligence comes in.



I am happy that at least I am blessed with an above average IQ. However, I find myself lacking so much in EQ.

First, I am very dependent on others. If my classmates (not necessarily my friends) aren't studying for our exam, as much as I wanted to study, I simply can't. I don't exactly know the reason why. Yeah it sucks.

Second, a lot of people do not like me. I'm not being emo here, that is the truth. I am sensitive enough to know that it isn't easy for people to like me. Of course I have friends. But most of the people around me aren't happy with me. It's just my personality that is so different and incompatible with the majority. I know it's not entirely my fault. But being different and not going with the flow has its disadvantages.

I always feel bad whenever I feel/realize/know that someone doesn't like me. Again, I don't know why. I stand with what I believe in. I don't care about what others will think about me. But I can't stop feeling really sad about it. Not the usual sad my dear. As in sad talaga.


As with social intelligence, I think I'm average. I hope in time I'll be able to boost my EQ..

Hello friends!

Whew! A new blog for me!

Oh well, this is how my day went..

Woke up late for work. Luckily, I was still able to go to work on time. Damn, working from 8 to 5am is very tiring. Especially if you're doing the same activity for 3 days straight for 8 hours a day!!

Geez. I hope I'll be doing something different tomorrow. I don't mind if a task is too easy or hard, I JUST WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

This makes me think that I would not be successful if I will end up being an employee in the future. I promised myself that I will be part of Forbes Top 80 Richest Filipino. I know putting up your own business is like jumping off a cliff, but I can't seem to stand doing the same activity for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Yeah the complexity of every task changes. But hell, it's still the same banana! You go to work at 8am, work using the PC for 99.9% of the time, eat lunch for one hour, stare at the monitor once more, go home dizzy. Look for a stress reliever. Sleep. Repeat. Urgh. I dont know how else can I make a living if can't stand this MonoVirus.

This makes me envious of Musicians and Radio DJs. Yeah some amateur musicians/DJs don't earn that much, but still, they enjoy what they are doing! And the money that rolls in is just a bonus! I hope I can find a job that I am very passionate about! Well I think there aren't any out there.


Oh... I'm still thinking what will happen to me in the future.. I hope I can do something about it. I don't want to be trapped.
