This is another interesting online test specially created for bloggers. This test would analyze the content of your blog and deduce the type of writer that you are. The funny thing is, a disclaimer has been included in the webpage.
Note: writing style on a blog may have little or nothing to do with a person´s self-percieved personality.
Anyways, I still went for the Typealyzer and I got this.
The analysis indicates that the author of http://tomoharuka.blogspot.com is of the type:
ESTP - The Doers
The active and play-ful type. They are especially attuned to people and things around them and often full of energy, talking, joking and engaging in physical out-door activities.
The Doers are happiest with action-filled work which craves their full attention and focus. They might be very impulsive and more keen on starting something new than following it through. They might have a problem with sitting still or remaining inactive for any period of time.
Active and play-ful? That is so wrong! Impulsive and keen on starting something new than following it through? Maybe.
Well, at least part of the analysis is still reliable. And no, I'm definitely not in denial!

Bangkok Dangerous
Things havent been great recently. The economy downturn. The Mumbai Massacre. The Bangkok Emergency State. My credit crunch. Among other things.
The negativity around is so prevalent that it numbed myself to spur any thoughts in response to the recent happenings. Exam is coming but I barely touched my book. At the same time, I'm counting down my days left with my current employer. A concoction of weird emotions, thoughts and feelings is always brewing in my head, that the effects of such negates any sensation. I'm numbed to the core. Soul-less.
Then came along a surprise MSN session with a net pal. He is one of the poor souls who got stranded in Bangkok since the airports there were force to closed down due to demonstration. Gosh! It never occurred to me that I could be the one who got stucked in a foreign land when all I want is to go home! (of coure, being blasted off in a Mumbai street would be far worse than this!) It suddenly hit me that things are really BAD these days that I should start noticing them, attentively.
So there he went, having this unwanted extended version of his BKK holiday with his brothers. They have no where to go, but to stay in their hotel, where food and room are paid by the government (well, they should have!). They have nothing to do, but to make calls to the airline and their embassy, getting updates on their flight info and the status of the airport and the city (and of course, occasional MSN chats). Poor thing! Unlucky bunch! I couldn't imagine myself facing similar situation, for someone who doesn't even take down the embassy address or number before I travel out of the country! (but then again, who really does that?)
On another note, imagine the economic adversity that this incident could spin off. Endless compensation by the government and the airlines. People turning away from the city. Airlines cease to generate revenue due to flight suspensions. And the list goes on. Are these people out of their minds?
Anyways, my heart goes out to you, Hori. May you be safe and be able to leave the country ASAP.

Unexpected Calamity
After much anticipation from myself and my fellow ex-colleagues, I had finally tendered my resignation two days ago. I anticipated for obvious reasons, but for my ex-colleagues, they were more interested to find out how my VP would react to "betrayal" (as some has put it), especially since it was short after my promotion in July.
To my surprise, besides the subtle cold treatment that my VP gave me, nothing much "hype" had been created in the office. Entering day two since the letter had been submitted to my immediate superior, no "meet-up sessions" had been arranged, just yet. Somehow this unnerving "tranquility" is causing much anxiety. My immediate had been on leave ever since that day (what a coincidence!), making me wonder whether my letter has been passed on to the final authority (luckily I made a carbon copy for Human Resources). However news has been seeping through the office as some of my colleagues kept throwing questions at me discreetly. That made me the more confused. So is my resignation "official" yet? My VP is not doing anything to at least acknowledge that? Or my presence in the organisation is that insignificant, contrary to most of my ex-colleagues' belief? Could it be because a steady throng of people had been leaving the organisation since June that they had become so immune to "brain drain"?
All this is causing much unrest, which is far from what I had expected. I was imagining myself jumping in relief when the letter was finally off my hands. I was imagining myself counting down the days to enter a new working environment, meet new people, deal with new challenges and eventually lead a new life. Little did I know that transcending from an old to a new territory is that difficult.
Anyways, my heart still skips a beat whenever I think of my new job. Can't wait for 10th Dec 2008 to arrive.
