Who’s the girl with Glasses?
By Diana (Danavalkyrie)
Hi, I am what they call, “The Girl With Glasses”.
Kidding aside, my name is Diana. I am 25 years old, the eldest among my siblings. You might be asking who I am but
Actually, that’s the same question I ask myself.
Who am I?
I’ve asked family members, friends, colleagues, strangers and even the man I love on how they view me as a person.
Some say I/I am:
- Sweet and very friendly
- Snobbish
- Humble
- Arrogant
- Patient
- Short-tempered
- Generous
- Stingy
- Diligent
- Lazy
- Inspire others
- Focused on my goals
- Lack discipline
- Brave
- Shy
- Opportunist
- Pessimistic
And the list goes on, but there is one thing that they tell me in the end– the phrase – “I thought you were snobbish, but talking to you I realize that you were the opposite. Or
“At first we thought you are Arrogant and loner but we now realize you are …”
Actually, I am in between of all those positive and negative traits mentioned by people. Plus previously during our Guidance and Counseling class, I found out through Keirsey Temperament Sorter Test that I am an ENFP or Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving (Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Feeling) or in other term – The INSPIRER (http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html)
It was like
Diana: Hi My name is Diana
ENFP: Hi I’m ENFP, I am your personality! Duh!
Diana: (O.o)?
I don’t hate my appearance but people tend to tell me that I look like I’m going eat them. But hey I have a sincere smile. I am human. There is a tendency that I try to shield myself. Actually I do shield myself from fully trusting people. It hurts to be betrayed by the people you love and care for. It hurts to know that sometimes, the people you tend to trust most to protecting or supporting you are the ones that can truly hurt you. That is why I don’t even trust myself. HOWEVER, I like people who are intellectual and independent. I tend to have more older friends than those who are my age. Maybe because thay are mature and filled with wisdom about life in general.
Anyway, a lot of people also tells me that I am an enigma. Why is that? I really don’t know!
Well, let me tell you about myself:
Actually, I am interested with Nature and Animals, I long for Natural beauty. I want to learn more everyday. I hate being restricted or boxed up in a situation or place and I tend to be very patient but when I get angry I am vengeful. I sometimes need help in letting go of my bad past. Actually when I was in grade school (grade 5 and 6), I was always bullied by my classmates in Mindanao, even family members in Mindanao. But I fought back; I used to think – when I get back to Mindanao, I’m going to get revenge. But then, I realize that the more I dwell in the past anger and the more I do not forgive – the more I hurt myself. And Oh boy! It was tiring!
When I was in my High school years, I excelled in school. I was called Miss Popular back then, I am always on top of my class, I am always in Quiz bees, Monologues, Plays, and active member of different school organizations. And even to this day, my former teachers and classmates still remember me.
During my college years, I was the subdued Diana; I focused more on my studies. I fell in love and luckily we are still together – 8 years. I am currently a graduate school student and a worker. I love learning. I’d rather sharpen my intellectual skills than focus on fashion, tech stuff and anything that will not be beneficial to me when I grow old and retire.
I am currently into Music, violin, writing and teaching. I am not perfect but everyday; I am looking forward to living life to the fullest since I wont be here forever. So as long as I am alive, I will try my best to make a difference.
I am poor, although my parents own a company and vast lands - I am poor. Why poor? I don’t have my own house; I don’t have a car, I don’t have the luxuries that young kids and adults have nowadays, I am proud – why - Because little by little I am realizing my own dreams without the help of anyone. I go to school using my own money for tuition fees, I even pay my own bills and loans, and I even loaned from my parents and pay them. In short – I find ways to be financially independent. I am poor – for now – but by Next year!!! I’ll be rich! Anyway, this is a short description of myself.
Any comments, suggestions or violent reactions – well – reflect on your life and self first before you judge me. Hehehe. Take care and God bless.
