About Me

I don't really know how to describe myself. People see me as very quiet, avoidant and shy but internally, I am anything but. I am an INFP (according to the Myers Brigg personality test - you can do it online at www.similarminds.com) and there's said to be only 1% of my type in the world's general population. Saying that, that makes me unique and one of a kind! lol! I would some up my key traits as this: flexible, relaxed, loves the good life, extremely loyal and demanding of loved one's attention and care, dislikes conflict and argument. There's another wild side of me - blame it on the stars. I am gemini. I also have a off-the-wall and slanted sense of humor which I reveal to none but the closest. I am an english major in my country's sole university.

My Interests

swimming, aerobics, baking, writing diary, piano playing, movies, settling down with really good friends for chat, reading (reading and reading!),

I'd like to meet:

people I can click with and people who try to let me understand them and them me. People who are kind and have big hearts. People who are Type A, bossy, dictatorial need not apply as well as cruel, nasty people.

Music:

I love classical piano, yeah, I play the piano. I really like old fashioned love songs from the 70 and 80's. Basically, I like anything that's good. I don't like rap or metal or noise. People I think are talented: John Mayer, Tommy Page, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Sugababes...

Movies:

kungfu flicks!! Even if the plot's lousy, I'd watch it. Romance (sure winner!), Action (another sure winner)

Books:

I like authors who write simply and beautifully. Too often, a work is ruined by too much verbal diarrhoea. I like books on new age, self development, relationships, good novels, magazines whatever. I like authors who vocalise in very simple terms the everyday emotions of men and women.

education is a beautiful thing

So today was my first day at work teaching. I am lucky I found a parking space. Though I don't know what I would do if the mall adjacent to the workplace opens.... I drove past the mall just now......

hard to be normal

Dear D, the more I read about psychology/self-help/improvement stuff, the more dysfunctional I feel I am. Why does everyone around me seem so 'normal'? me
