Multiple Intelligence Theory January 21, 2008

yey ive finally done it…congratulate me.. LOL.. ok back to work..=)

i was already starting to think that i lack spatial intelligence..;p it has been believed that the males are better when it comes to processing visual information and manipulating objects. hm.. (so does that explains their talent for manipulating women?? kidding..)

so what is spatial intelligence?

first, we have different categories of intelligence that we call multiple intelligence. it started with the theory proposed by Howard Gardner, a psychologist. his theory describes an array of different kinds of “intelligences” exhibited by human beings. Gardner suggests that each individual manifests varying levels of these different intelligences, and thus each person has a unique “cognitive profile.

Gardner’s Categories of intelligence

1. Bodily-Kinesthetic-involves bodily movements..they usually learn more by doing rather than reading or hearing. this involves the dancers or the athletes. they have what is so called muscle memory. they learn more through their body rather than by words- hearing(verbal memory) or reading/images(visual memory).

Careers suited for this type include: dancers, demonstrators, actors, athletes, divers, sports-people, soldiers, fire-fighters, PTI’s, performance artistes; ergonomists, osteopaths, fishermen, drivers, crafts-people; gardeners, chefs, acupuncturists, healers, adventurers

Careers suited for this type include: therapists, HR professionals, mediators, leaders, counsellors, politicians, eductors, sales-people, clergy, psychologists, teachers, doctors, healers, organisers, carers, advertising professionals, coaches and mentors; (there is clear association between this type of intelligence and what is now termed ‘Emotional Intelligence’ or EQ does GRO count?? hm may be..

The Multiple Intelligences Test

My Result: Linguistic Intelligence

Being linguistically intelligent means that you have a knack for using words and language. As a result, you’ve probably noticed that you have a greater gift for expressing yourself than most people around you. In fact, you might be known in your circle of friends as something of a wordsmith.

Whether writing or speaking, you’re the type to get your point across with both precision and flair. At times, this can make you a very persuasive communicator. By choosing the right words at the right time, you can clearly express your ideas, thoughts, and feelings to others. This can be a crucial skill in both your professional and personal life.

saturday January 20, 2008

i just bought this 3×3x3 puzzle cube n i cant seem to finish it.. haha.. i really suck with these 3D puzzles..

ok.. i actually woke up yesterday morning with a text message from my mom… she said that she’ll be going to manila.. she brought my niece marielle, along and told me to bring her to trinoma.. i was shocked when i saw marielles hair.. .it was permed! haha..so here are just some photos..

toys r us-bought her a boardgame n a fishing game for her 2 brothers..

waited for her to read all the books at powerbooks… LOL.. (nahuli pa kami ng guard bawal daw magpicture..)

ate nelia n marielle.. tambays

haha.. ok i really find it funny.. i dont think ill ever be a good food blogger… lage na may bawas before i remember to take a picture of it… takaw kasi!! haha

ok so we ate at the trinoma foodcourt. bought my food from world chicken.. -grilled chicken with 2 side dishes-i chose potato salad n pesto cream.. for the sauce i chose ranch bbq.. yum!

britney needs dr phil.. January 19, 2008

yesterday during pharma discussion, dra ong mentioned that she feels like she’s britney while wearing her headset.. then changed her mind coz she doesnt wanna be like britney anymore coz brit has bipolar and substance abuse disorder… so she’s more updated than i am.. haha.. anyway someone with a sane mind, even without much medical knowledge can say that indeed there is somethin wrong with her… i think the turnaround happened when she married her backup dancer then had two kids..followed by unending scandals…fights with paparazzis…series of arrests…lipsyncs…horrible performances… embarrassment..questionable boyfriends…hysteria… everything just went downhill for her…. now she has a paparazzi bf, wants to embrace islam and intends to marry him.what could have happened??? well.. we wont really know how other people’s minds work… and we shouldnt judge… but anyway..what wasshe thinking???! so she had severe depression..then substance abuse… then now bipolar disorder…

i think she had problems growing up… well everyone has problems..its just that most of us usually rise above them… some do not… support from friends and family is really important… and of course prayers…

also another factor i think that affected her so much was the fame and the attention… i think a lot of stars experience this.. the view from the top is so breath-taking.. so addictive.. so going down could be really painful and difficult for some stars to accept…some couldnt accept that and will do anything just to get back up.. which is really wrong.. when a person has negative thoughts and feelings… no matter how that person tries to look nice.. people will sense it. and itll show.. first thing to do should be to deal with the problem.. accept things that are beyond her control. let go of the negative things and convert those feelings to positive ones..make those feelings constructive rather than destructive..anabolic than catabolic.. haha sounds like dr phil???!

actually i pity her.. oh well.. she needs help.. STAT! im not a britney fan… never was… if she’ll ask for my advice ill tell her that it would be better if she rests for a while… poor girl.. she was bout to be casted for a movie “memoirs of a medicated girl” but then the producers didnt want her.. hm.. i guess the society also should stop ridiculing her.. she needs help n acceptance and criticizing her everytime would only worsen her condition….

grabe she looks so haggard…wawa naman

all night study-survey says it’s not good. January 16, 2008

a few days back, ive heard from the radio(RX 93.1) about this study/survey…theyve compared the performance of those students who study all night and those who study at night but are still able to have some sleep. they have concluded that according to stats..

those who don’t study all night long have higher averages than those who study all night long..

we think ur minds are working at 2am but not really. how can u effectively study if you’re sleepy right? they say sleep improves memory.
also, lack of sleep can alter ur performance really bad..! so sleep! and don’t forget to eat breakfast.. its the most important meal of day! and take ur vitamins!
hm but then again. what doesnt work for someone may really work for someone else.. so still case to case basis. well.. me? i prefer to sleep when im sleepy..

exams week is finally coming to an end.. hm.. but being a med student.. exams are part of our everyday lives. i believe it is important to have study habits but then to each his own. we do whatever works for us.. usually i take breaks from time to time to refresh. do u know that according to studies the maximum time that we can really pay our complete attention to something is average of 2 hours..? so studying or listening to a lecture for longer periods may not be efficient.. it’s nice to stretch or grab a bite from time to time. also in my opinion.. (coz it works for me) it is important that im in the mood.:D does that mean im a crammer? hm.. i dunno.. another important thing. u should know how to handle ur time, budget it. being so laid back really has its disadvantages. i still wish that sometimes i can be like my other classmates who are so diligent.. and super responsible.

dont be too grade conscious.. exams don’t measure who u really are. what’s important is that u learn something and u know how and when to use that acquired knowledge..

just do ur best! and enjoy life coz each moment is a time spent that u can never get back!

happyslip and davidchoi January 12, 2008

ok since dak featured happyslip and kevjumba.. ill feature davidchoi instead.. LOL..
actually it intrigues me and i find him funny(davidchoi)..why coulndnt he smile for his fans..? loss of facial muscles for smiling?
here is a video wherein happyslip tries to make him smile.. was she successful? find out for yourself.. he has a good voice.
happyslip is 31 years old already -ive heard..

ive also observed.. is it the common thing in the states wherein people bond according to their race? asians bond with asians.. southeast asians with se asians? caucasians with caucasians? hm.. same as always huh… maybe its just that somehow we can relate more with those races similar to ours… i think there will always be those.. i wouldnt want to call them barriers but maybe.. thats just how things usually go..of course its not always the case.

so..? COLOR or CULTURE?

anyways.. back to the topic.. i like these two asians.. i like the video where davidchoi finally was heard laughing while singing.

i had lunch at wok with me with my med classmates yesterday.. dak and i started making kwento bout happyslip.. then we realized that we were the only ones who can relate with what we were trying to talk bout…every1s staring.. haha oh no!! have we become so addicted to the net that we are always updated with these kinds of stuffs??! oh-oh… :p

IQ- MENSA January 9, 2008

The Classic IQ Test

My Result: Visionary Philosopher

Your mind’s strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you’re equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher.

In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life’s situations add to your Visionary Philosopher mind.
Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher intellectual type.

Whatever you decide to do in life, you’ve got a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. For example, if you were on an archaeological dig and discovered an object, you could probably use your deductive powers to figure out not only what the object was but also how it was used. Given your ability to put things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they are, and how they might be one day.

Take this test >

it isnt that accurate.. bit easy.. but still fun.
hehe.. took this test in the past.. i think my score was higher back then.. from 145 to now 142. i know coz i got older.. supposedly intelligence should increase with age right? IQ is inversely proportional with age but i think only up to 18 years old. hehe.. a lot higher than my actual IQ scores in college.. 123 or 121..
not enough for MENSA International.. LOL..
i remember one of our consultant pathologists in veterans memorial medical center when i was still a medtech intern..
Dr. kalangitan- she’s a a member and also an officer of Mensa Philippines.. an organization of people with exceptionally high IQ. i remember one time i asked her for the capital of this never heard country and she knew it! haha.. awesome..! she was even featured in fhm.. not for her body but for her brain..

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing..

Dengue fever January 7, 2008

this new year really entered in a bang.. en grande.. bongang bonga! a lot of people got sick at the start of the year.. my friend hanna got dengue, together with other two classmates… then dak.. was diagnosed to have a systemic viral infection.. he’s still recovering right now.. he was discharged last friday but still felt weak to go to class today… so he missed 3 tests already.. we just hope that he gets well soon.
and then our class president got something as well. at first they thought he had measles.. but then the rashes looked different.. and his rashes started at his right lower extremity , started with cramps.. so i also think measles doesnt really fit the diagnosis…other doctors, a derma concluded that it coul be an allergy.. different diagnosis, different medicines were prescribed and so euge wasnt sure which medication to take.. he already came to school today and they said that it might be a severe allergic response due to an insect bite.. oh.. poor euge.. i hope all of them get much better in the next days to come.

again just yesterday.. my bf’s sister was admitted to the hospital coz she also had dengue! she’s been having high grade fever(meaning fever with temperature of 40 deg C or more) which was on and off four days- biphasic? hm. anyway.. i told my bf last fri that it could be dengue..if accompanied with head, joint and muscle pain(like bone fractures).. i think they observed her first before finally rushing her to the hosp.. they should look out for the platelet count which usually falls after the fever goes down.. so there.. i was surprised that she was worries because she’ll miss school.. hm.. manang mana sa kuya.. i hope she gets well sooner too..

according to harrison’s the clinical syndrome of dengue includes:
Headache,,musculoskeletal pain
(“breakbone fever”);leukopenia;occasionally biphasic
(“saddleback”) fever

dengue fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus-dengue virus. it is transmitted by mosquitos-Aedes aegypti..

beware of this mosquito

these mosquitos usually thrive in clean stagnant water.. they are also day biting.. the philippines is a tropical country and dengue is just among of those common diseases endemic here.. usually seasonal-during the rainy season..
