What Temperament Are You?

I took another facebook quiz where I confirmed that I have a Melancholic Temperament. The third to the last sentence is my worst weakness.

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

TCP #1- Musical Movies



I have been wanting to join this meme since I've been invited but I was always always busy. I'm so glad that I finally have the time to create this blog post while my students are busy doing some classwork. :)

I love watching musical movies especially the classical ones. During my childhood years, I would watch "The Wizard of Oz" over and over again without getting tired of it but after my high school years, I fell in love with two classic musical movies - "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" (1964).

"Mary Poppins" (1964) is a story about a magical nanny (Mary Poppins) who taught a family how to enjoy life while "The Sound of Music" (1965) is a story about a nun turned into a governess in house with an overly restrictive and harshly enforced discipline but has contributed a great change in them. These two movies I picked have Julie Andrews as the main cast. I find her so proper and elegant, I believe she's one on the best actresses there is.

Here are my favorite musical parts from the movies:

Mary Poppins: "A Spoonful of Sugar"I really enjoy this song - I play it in class when I let my students clean my classroom :)


The Sound of Music: "Do...Re...Mi"
