Who am I? I am someone who is not what others thought they fully know. I am not skin-deep nor superficial. I am deeper than what it seems. I am complex- both capable of enjoying my time with others and finding peace in my solitude.
I care for the people I know more than what others perceive. I am able to adapt and adjust according to what my situation needs me to be.
I am constantly smiling. I always find myself smiling at the thought of simple mundane things. Positivity is the path I am taking despite the hurdles and challenges that comes my way.
Material Self - My reflection
Material things doesn't faze me though having gadgets can be great. I am not materialistic but I do not condemn those who are. Judging people is not something I'm into rather I try to understand them in their perspective. Imagining to be in someone's shoes is an effective way to empathize.
Spiritual Self - My reflection
Spiritually, I consider myself with tight faith in the Almighty. Believing that everything happens according to His will is the path to accepting things as it should be. But as human as I am, I am also capable of changing my fate with regards to the choices I make in life. I am steadfast with my faith as I am loyal as a person.
Digital Self - My reflection
Social media had been a great deal in changing the lives of people. It is a factor that aided in molding myself to become what I am today. It helped me shape my views in life through it's easy access to information. Who I am based on what you see on social media sites may not be always applicable in my real personal life.
Sexual Self - My reflection
Sexual Self -this is base on what type of human sexual behavior I am. Being aware of what kind of sex do you attract with. Heterosexual only attracts on the opposite sex and that's my human sexual sexual behavior. In sexual self we can know if we are falling in love when we start to crave on someone's presence and when he/she is not around it terribly changes our mood.
Political Self - My reflection
Political self - in political self we can identify what role we play in our society. There are countries that influenced the Filipino attitude and personality but there are some is not. In political self you can know how family oriented are you, how good are you in terms of socializing to other people. Me as a Filipino I am a hardworking son and I have ability to survive when nobody can help.
Cultural Self - My reflection
Culture played a crucial part in molding who I am today. It served as a foundation and basis of my behavior. Who I am in hugely in line with the culture I was accustomed to and raised in. My thoughts, beliefs, principles and behavior is influenced majorly by the Filipino culture. I am like most of you as you are like most of me who are born to take up the culture our society has.
Physical Self - My reflection
Physical Self - in physical self it talks about beauty and personality, talking of beauty I don't have that because I'm ugly but when we talked about personality well, I am a good person, approachable, understanding, and loving person. Beauty is not based on the physical appearance but it should be based on your attitude, what is beauty if you don't have a good personality. For me being good is being beautiful.
Eastern and Western Thought - My reflection
Eastern and Western Thought - In this topic I must say that Eastern people like us are dependent on what our parents decision. We cannot demand our self because we only follow what they are going to say, we cannot stand alone. Unlike Western people they are independent and they are the one who will find a job to buy food and to sustain their everyday needs.
Philosophy - I am who I am no one can be me, every person in this world are created unique. In philosophy there are Philosophers who has view of the self, for me I believe that my body is the extension of my mind because it follows what my mind says. The mind is the thinking thing that will lead and gives us instructions on what we are going to do and after the mind think the body will do its part. ( Rene Descartes )
Our personality is shaped not just by what we have inherited from our parents but also from how we are nurtured and from our surrounding as a whole. I grew up in a place where there are close ties with relatives and neighbors as much as we have in our immediate family. This paved way for me to become in tune with my interpersonal relationship with others. I value my relationships, rapport and camaraderie I have built with others. This trait can also be traced back to the most notable traits of the Filipinos- great accommodation and hospitality.
