First and foremost, my CHOSEN religion is Baha'i Faith.

I am a rational objectivist in terms of philosophical creed.

Garret Loporto, Ayn Rand, Nathan Rutstein are the three most influential authors in my life as a book anaconda. I am a prime mover wherever I am.

I am a chameleon owl.
A chameleon because I adapt to change quickly.
An owl because I am a bipolar genius.

Bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance in the brain which causes extreme mood shifts from being hyperactive, hypomania, et.al to sudden modes of depression, wanting to be left alone, excessive crying, anger and a combination of various negative feelings, and then suddenly shifting to being giddy happy and hyper again. It is usually brought on by a trauma, although it is also a hereditary psychiatric condition.

In terms of how it affects, me. Well, for one, I feel more strongly than most people regarding issues of ethics, justice and professionalism. It's not about my objectivist philosophy or high standards really, but more of because I am already so flexible with my expectations with people and yet they still disappoint me when it comes to how they "say one thing and then do another".

I recognize I can't change others. That i can only change myself~ but that's why I need to distance myself from certain people first until I can see from a more positive lens again.

I haven't been so visible in my college lately (since I broke down last august) because I want to maintain the little respect I have left for majority of my batchmates and professors from the Journalism department of the College of MisCommunication.

I call it bipolar genius (as opposed to disorder) ehehe, because strengths such as creativity, empathy, leadership, superior intelligence, and talent in science and the arts are often found in children and adolescents with bipolar disorders and their relatives.

My severe insomnia is also due to my bipolar condition. I am straight...FORWARD. LoL. My ex-psychiatrist deems that I am not homosexual; I am merely HYPERSEXUAL. Erm, okay. Ouch. But anyway, what that means is that I have poor judgment in choosing romantic partners. I just go for whatever catches my attention and stimulates my senses ~ of course, especially my HEAD. ]:P

Don't worry, I'm learning to overcome that aversion. And I AM STRAIGHTENING OUT. Sorry Girls. Let's just be friends ;) No more "special exceptions" hahaha.

I practice the Tao of Time. I used to eat like a soldier; now I have learned to Eat Less and Chew More...Many people say I ought'a learn to "stop & smell the flowers"...I used to take drugs for that...Haha, those killer sedatives prescribed by my pscyho shrink just to get that ILLUSION of sanity. @@, but I almost died taking those drugs, and now I have decided to live a SHRINK-free and DRUG-free life!! :P

I don't care if I get loony at times, or if people go crazy around me. In my WORLD, I believe I am SANE. Haha. I AM ME. Take it or leave it. Love me or hate me: I LOVE YOU, ALL OF YOU. Even those who hate me, I love you! Hehehe. PeACe ^__^ I want WORLD PEACE..Heeheehee...coz now, I am at peace with myself.

There are perks to having bipolar though:

1.) I don't need external stimulants like alcohol, drugs, sex and the like, ahaha. just to be on a natural high ~ talagang hyper lang ako pag hyper ^___^

2.) I can dance and party non-stop without ecstasy, drugs or alcohol, again due to my condition :P

3.) I can work for hours and hours and hours with increased productivity due to my insomnia (except that my focus increases as time increases, which is opposite to how it is for most people).

I'm a Da Vinci Type Personality.
Only 1 in 10 people have the DaVinci temperament; hence schools teach almost exclusively for non-DaVinci types - how to sit still, follow directions and compete for grades by conforming to teacher expectations. So although I am a passionate learner, school kills my brain.

I'm a children's rights advocate.
An individualist.
A photography hobbyist.
A journalism student.
An energizer bunny.
A free spirit... and a purpose-driven Soul.

I'm a book anaconda (not just a snake), and I hate school because I love learning. ^___^ Oh, and my friends say I'm funny, though i never know why. and my hair? well, they're really thick, curly, and fluffy. My hair's big enough to make a grand entrance less all the hairspray ;-) the fluff is one-hundred percent chemical-free, hehe. But trust me, my brain is bigger than my hair (or my boobs for that matter ^^,)

I'm a self-recognized genius also because of a book I read when I was 14 years old. My mom was reading "Awakening the Genius in Your Child".
When she left the book at home one day (the bookmark was still in the second chapter) I figured she didn't have the time to really implement what was in the book, so I took the book, and gnawed at it resolute to AWAKEN THE GENIUS IN ME on my own. Hahaha.

I have learned to appreciate my own inner clock...there's nothing wrong with my own sense of time. I DO STOP TO SMELL THE FLOWERS...I just do it way faster than most people. But it doesn't mean I love flowers any less. Of course I love flowers! Heehee. They're like women. Pleasant to look at, to smell and to touch. But never uproot them. One must take care of them, nourish them and love them so they'd continue blooming as the beauties they are...but ME, I'm a perennial grass, an impossible weed. LoL. I grow without water, I crack the hardest cement. Nothing can ever stop me from seeking the Sun. I LOVE LIFE :P *BoW*

I am what I think I am.

And books help me figure out who and what I want to be. « less
