Yes! I'm a Geek


Before you make a negative comment or judgment towards me. I'm proud to say I'm a geek. If you're a nerd and a geek, you'll be scorned for sure. In today's society being a nerd or a geek has a negative connotation. A nerd is depicted as a social outcast, a bookworm, has his/her own world, and wearing an eyeglasses. A geek is not to be confused with a nerd. From an online definition, a geek does not have to be smart, someone who is an enthusiast about something. This really defines me, because aside from being a Chinese culture enthusiast, I also enjoy reading comic books (I used to attend comics local convention since 2010), I like to collect books/comic books, (I am also a fan of Peanuts, and I admire its creator the late Charles Schulz) and I love to do all sorts of arts and crafts (I do miniature polymer clay art - food, and cute things, I also draw, traditional and graphic, I do paper cut and crafts).

Another revelation, I'm an introvert, (the test that I took when I was still in college still haven't changed until now). I'm an INFP. If you want to know what personality type are you just take the 16 personalities or the MBTI test found online. There are a lot actually, but I like the 16 personalities test better. My friends say you can really change, but I still find social connections draining (especially when I'm around a lot of people). I love being at home, guess you could call me a homebody too! Never enjoyed night outs and parties even before (discos, night clubs, I had a chance to go to this kind of places before through the coaxing of my friends, and former students.). Click on this -> 16 Personality Test

I guess these times its really not that easy to find someone who has the same interest like I do. You guessed it right I'm more visible on the online world, than in the real world. I enjoy interacting with fellow geeks online of the same faith. I always post and check my social media page. Of course I maintain my blogs (I have three, food, Chinese culture, and religious blog), aside from this personal blog of mine.

You can visit my deviantart account to see my all my works. My Deviantart Page. My interests varies. I also enjoy reading poems. I'm also drawn to English literature. I like Jane Austen, and I was a former member of the Jane Austen Society in Australia. I didn't renew now my membership with them. I also like music. I tried learning a Chinese instrument which is the erhu. I can play a bit of piano and electronic keyboard (I studied in Yamaha music school when I was still in highschool, I took guitar and organ lessons there). When I was still a kid, I had voice lessons at Ryan Cayabyab music studio. I was fortunate to have The Company's member as my voice teacher, Ms. Annie Quintos. I have made home recordings in YouTube. I also tried recording in a studio before. They tease me at home, I'm called 'Jack of All Trades, Master of None'. Meaning I never really bec!me an expert in any of those things mentioned above.

Also, You know what, I learned from the past is if you like someone to be your friend, or if you like someone, you got to accept that person for the way he or she is. Because being a true friend means accepting and loving the person just the way he or she is.
