Just Me

I know I will kick myself one day if I don’t put this down in the blog. At least I won’t have to worry about losing the article.

According to the Meyer-Briggs Test, I am a ISFJ (Intuitive, Sensing, Feeling, Judging). In simpler words, a "Conservator". Desires to be of service and to minister to individual needs – very loyal. 13.8% of total population.

As for the Enneagram Test, my three highest behavioural tendencies are – Perfectionism, Anxiety and Aggressiveness.

For curious ones, you can try the tests here.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

i’m back, from a somewhat exhausting, supposedly ‘relaxing’ getaway with jon and ethan. it’s supposed to be ethan’s birthday present cum our break from work, then again, how relaxing can it be with a precocious four-year-old in tow? nonetheless, we enjoyed the food, entertainment and some time with the boy (without him having to fight with his sister for attention). Will post pictures later.
