What Does Your Favorite Hue Say About You?
By Bonnie Siegler, Special to LifeScript
Do you find yourself gravitating to a particular color? It could be more than just a preference. A person’s favorite colors can provide intriguing clues to her personality, says Dewey Sadka, color expert and creator of the Dewey Color System, a widely used tool to identify people’s personality traits based on hue preference. Sadka, author of The Dewey Color System for Relationships: The Ultimate Compatibility Test for Love, Friendship and Career Success (Three Rivers Press, 2005), tells LifeScript readers what their favorite shades reveal about them…

Green

Personality: A preference for green shows that a person is a terrific listener who’s never too busy to help a friend in need. But your ability to put yourself in other people’s shoes is your true gift. And although you appear innocent at times, your natural curiosity and your understanding of what makes people tick makes you more streetwise than you seem.

Celebs who love the color: Julia Roberts, Courteney Cox Arquette

Black
Personality: An affinity for black indicates that you’re fiercely loyal, committed to all of your relationships and extremely disciplined about achieving goals. Lovers of black tend to be emotional people and often make decisions based on feelings rather than logic.

Celebs who love the color: Angelina Jolie, Gail O’Grady, Jennifer Aniston

White or Cream

Personality: Those who favor white are willing to experience lots of new things and seek out the unexplored. You attract many different types of people and adventures, but all this action can get you into a few tight spots. The best strategy: Control your expectations by limiting yourself to desires and goals you are sure you can achieve.

Celebs who love the color: Kristin Davis, Jessica Biel, Pamela Anderson

Red
Personality: A passion for red announces loud and clear that a woman is a mover and shaker who does nothing halfway. Direct and practical with a clear idea of what you want, you let others know exactly where they stand and you establish firm boundaries. Saying “no” is not a problem for you. As a result, people respect you and listen when you talk. You can, however, become impatient with others’ inefficiencies.

Celebs who love the color: Cindy Crawford, Meg Ryan

Yellow

Personality: A fondness for yellow suggests you’re an optimist who accepts people for who they are and you like to make everyone feel good. Like other people who love yellow, you tend to extend yourself without expecting anything in return, but you don’t accept kindness easily so it’s hard for others to do nice things for you.

Celebs who love the color: Tyra Banks, Reese Witherspoon

Pink
Personality: A preference for pink comes with a genuine concern for
others. It makes a you appear angelic – that’s your great strength. But you need appreciation for your deeds in order to move forward in life.

Celebs who love the color: Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Garner

Gold and Bronze

Personality: Women drawn to gold are not the type to sit back and let the world pass them by. You have high hopes, dreams and ambitions, and you enjoy life to the fullest. But your passion can also be your downfall, as it causes you to over-schedule and, as a result, feel stressed and overwhelmed at times.

Celebs who love the color: Fergie, Allison Janney, Kate Walsh

Silver

Personality: Silver as a favorite color indicates a woman is searching to better understand her deepest feelings. You long to be immersed in your own thoughts, away from the busy world. Introspective by nature, you ask yourself such weighty questions as “What’s my emotional fulfillment from this action?” and “Will going down this road be a passionate journey?”

Celebs who love the color: Paris Hilton, Kelly Ripa

Blue

Personality: Optimistic and dreamy, blue buffs overlook little slights and stumbling blocks, give others the benefit of the doubt, and see the sunny side of life. You create a positive, upbeat presence that keeps those around you moving forward. In love, your focus on the positive can make you naive. It can take you a long time – perhaps too long – to see the shortcomings of your beloved.

Celebs who love the color: Dayna Devon and Hilary Swank

WHITE

You’re the Purist

You feel that you’re pure and innocent no matter what you do, and you
look at others critically–though that’s not outwardly apparent to the person
being observed. You’re dedicated to your beliefs, but you don’t like to
discuss them with others. You probably think that you’re serving some higher
purpose in life. You detest anything that you feel is unclean.
As a result, you favor organization and your house could probably pass
the white glove test. At first you appear shy, but, in reality, you’re outspoken.
You’re merely observing your environment and the people around you,
before you make your thoughts known.

In romance, you prefer tradition, and it takes a long time before you’re
comfortable with someone.

RED

You’re the Lover.

You’re passionate and sensual with a volatile personality.
You like to be noticed. You’re spontaneous, and sometimes you
have incredible energy. Your interests are many and varied. You like to
learn new things. You’re occasionally extreme in your viewpoint or lifestyle.
Your will-power is amazing, and you are able to accomplish what would
be impossible for others. You know how to stay focused when you
have a goal in mind.

When it comes to romance, you sizzle.


YELLOW

You’re the Philosopher.

You’re always searching for answers, ideas, or methods and you concentrate
deeply. You’re creative and original. You have an ability to overcome great
obstacles that would stop others. If you stay focused, you’re amazingly productive.
You’re easy-going and enjoy the finer things in life. You have an appreciation for fine
arts. You avoid confrontations when possible. You prefer peace to conflict. You have a cheery disposition, and you’re optimistic.

In romance, you like to experiment.

You’re the Peacemaker.

You strive to make others happy. You’re quiet, caring, intelligent, and eternally
youthful. You’re looking for bliss and kindness. You truly love everyone, and you
always try to see the best in everyone, even finding explanations for other’s faults.
You are, by all definitions, a great friend and life mate. You’re very thoughtful and
romantic. Though others may think your productivity is below standard, in fact,
you’re hard-working. You just like to study problems thoroughly before you act.
You never like to move into anything too quickly.

When it comes to romance, you’re a tease.


PURPLE

You’re the Spiritualist.

You’re on a quest to do better, and become a better person. Though you
sometimes get lost to material things, you look for spiritual connections in
everything. You live a spontaneous life and have much energy. You believe
there are no boundaries to what you can accomplish, and that belief takes you far.
And indeed, you’re a unique individual with unusual, though sophisticated, taste.
Appreciating natural beauty, you enjoy being outdoors. You know how to relax,
and you’re comfortable with being yourself. Normally, you work well with others,
not only because you’re relaxed and self-assured, but also because you’re giving
of yourself and ask for little in return.

You often keep your romantic side hidden.


BLACK

You’re the Naturalist.

You have a great appreciation for nature and for all life, and you would
be comfortable living in conditions that others would rue. You’re all for peace.
You hate conflict, and you try to avoid arguments. As a result, you may have
a lot of inner tension which makes you moody. You also have a tendency to
be secretive, and you feel that there’s a place inside you which others can’t touch.
You like to erect barriers in order to protect yourself and your hidden emotions.
You’re uncomfortable when anyone tugs at this private part of your soul.
You have an eye for detail, and you see that which others would miss.
This ability makes you good at problem solving. Black can also indicate
submission, a desire to be led rather than to lead.

In romance, black indicates submission.


GREEN

You’re the Healer.

You like to take care of others and cure all woes. You feel best about
yourself when you’re contributing something to someone’s life or aiding
someone who needs you. You’re easy-going and laid back, enjoying all life
has to offer. Yet, you have the ability to accomplish much in life.
You adhere to your beliefs and have a high sense of morality.
You appreciate freshness and originality, which is why your fascination with
the fine arts is endless.

In romance, you’re often the nurturer.


ORANGE

You’re the Adventurer.

You like to try new things and explore. You learn best by doing.

walks in the woods revives your spirit. You have an endless appreciation for your environment and animals, and you’re ever on a quest to be more in touch with nature.

a tiger if provoked. Helpful and caring, you’re a good friend–though opinionated at
times. You’re always looking out for the underdog, ready to lend your assistance.

You’re a good lover, highly passionate and willing to experiment.


BROWN

You’re the Traditionalist.

You aren’t into fads or styles. You’re comfortable with who you are and your
current belief system. You could be called a “well-rounded” person, as you’re
solid and reliable. You’re like nature and the outdoors, and you prefer a
peaceful environment. You’d prefer a vacation to a quiet cabin in the woods rather
than Vegas. You’re conservative, and you have a high sense of tradition.
You like things to be orderly and well-organized. To others, you’re warm and
sensitive.

You dislike the bizarre, and prefer good old-fashioned romance.


GRAY

You’re the Appraiser.

You’re constantly examining life and every situation for meaning.
You’re creative, easy-going, gentle, and self-assured. You don’t feel that
you need to prove anything to the world. You like to do things in an
original way. Though you may appear to be too focused on yourself, that’s
far from the truth. In reality, you’re a caring person, a loyal friend, and you
work well with others. You favor a peaceful and calm environment.
Sometimes you’re indecisive.

In romance, you’re open-minded and willing to experiment.



BLUE

You’re the Idealist.

You favor tranquility and peace. You like to relax and appreciate
all life has to offer; however, you like things to be in order. More than likely,
your home, is carefully organized. You’re uncomfortable about your deepest
emotions, and you try to hide them. Often you avoid decision-making until
necessary. Even then, you’ll always question the decision you made and wonder
if another course would have been better. You have much will-power and a
high possibility of reaching your goals as a result. You are capable of persisting
against all odds when you’re determined to reach a goal. You’re loyalty to
any project is endless.

And regarding romance, you’re affectionate and sensitive

Fuji

Mount. Fuji Sept 2, 2006

I just bumped into many posts about Mount. Fuji climbing trip of my friends. This just makes me miss my past 1-year-and-11-month trip so much. It was such wonderful journey though I couldn’t make myself to the top. Too new to the environment, we were not well-prepared. Seeing the sun raise at the top of Mount. Fuji is one of the goals of my being here. It’s not that bad, though, at least I have tried my best… and I also experienced the sun raise; only that it was not from the top :D . Another try, hence?

How much sleep do we need?

August 13, 2008 by rire

Nine months and after
This depends mainly on how old we are.
  • Babies sleep for about 17 hours each day.
  • Older children only need 9 or 10 hours a night.
  • Most adults need around 7-8 hours sleep each night.
  • Older people need the same amount of sleep, but will often only have one period of deep sleep during the night, usually in the first 3 or 4 hours, after which they wake more easily. We also tend to dream less as we get older.
There are also differences between people of the same age. Most of us need 7-8 hours a night, but some (a few) people can get by with only 3 hours a night. It’s not helpful to regularly sleep more than 7-8 hours each night.

Superwoman (Khmer and English)

Artist: Paulini
Album: Superwoman
Year: 2006
Title: Superwoman

***

Early in the morning
I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee
Has its sugar and cream

Your eggs are over easy
Your toast done lightly
All that’s missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me

Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I can’t help but to wonder
If you’re talking ’bout me

We don’t talk the way we used to talk
It’s hurtin’ so deep
I’ve got my pride, I will not cry
But it’s makin’ me weak

I’m not your superwoman
I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything’s okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me, ooh, baby

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner
Will be waiting for you

But when you get there you just tell me
You’re not hungry at all
You said you’d rather read the paper
And you don’t want to talk

You like to think that I’m just crazy
When I say that you changed
I’m convinced I know the problem
You don’t love me the same

You’re just going through the motions
And you’re not being fair
I’ve got my pride, I will not cry
Still I can’t help but care

I’m not your superwoman (Oh, no, no)
I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything’s okay
Boy, I am only human (I’m only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

I’m not your superwoman (Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo)
I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down (Hey)
And think that everything’s okay (Don’t let me down, don’t you let me down)
Boy, I am only human (I’m only human, yeah)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token (Ooh, ooh) of love from you to me

Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind
I’ll always be there for you through good and bad times
But I can’t be that superwoman that you want me to be
I’ll give my everlasting love if you’ll return love to me

I’m not your superwoman (Oh, no, oh, no)
I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything’s okay
Boy, I am only human (I’m only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me (Oh, no)

If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I’m the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me, oh, ho, ho

Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I need love
I need just your love

I’m not your superwoman (Oh, no)
I’m not the kind of girl that you can let down (You can let down)
And think that everything’s okay
Boy, I am only human (I’m only human)
This girl needs more than occasional (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

I’m not your superwoman

A piece of writing

August 12, 2008 by rire

Yesterday I had a quick chit chat with an old friend. I’m really glad for the state of being just fine in every corner of her life.  Very open and easy going as always, she sent me plenty pictures of her last Sunday holiday with her friends in Sihanouville. Cool, fresh and cute smile she got on her face is telling me nothing changes in her for the last two years. Hee…. But me , change lots…. ( not a baby pig anymore) No need to wonder how , as you will surely see me very soon.

Maybe because I have been very free these days, I almost every night went through the bunch of photos of myself, friends ( here and there) , family … Well, I passed one to another pic quick enough that couldn’t allow myself to recall every sense of each photo, as I myself really know who I AM.  Actually, I don’t really grasp all of the pics with me here, only ones of few events that let me feel for my loved ones whenever I miss and eager to see them. This really lets me be aware of the importance of the pics, which somehow is able to console me in some cases.

That’s it for today ( I just feel like writing something, sth. that just kill my time being)

P.S. One more thing, I’m so deeply in love with a book introduced by my friend.

I haven’t noticed triple eight until I was asked to fill in the move out form this afternoon. Nothing much I bring in here, only a mark of my notice of the unique number date. Well, want to do sth. slightly special for the day as well; everything however seems to go as it used to. By the way, I also just learn that entire next week is the summer holiday for workers here, Japan. It’s gonna be so quiet here, I guess.

Mhhh…. What else shall I express ?

Well, I know I’m quite quiet lately, not because I have been busy, neither because do I have nothing to share, only that I have no feeling to….

Well, furthur info is available on request (j/k)

Have a great and safe holiday
