GRAPHO-surprising/unsurprising test. What's behind?


Okay. Today is Saturday, July 25, 2009.
I woke up at 9 and I did remember that there is something to do with the date :-)
CONGRATZ EM! No other words than I love you. hihi.

Well, I did have plans for today. One of them was going to Bintaro and taking some kind of a psychological test to determine what's the major that suits me in university. Guys, you might have been questioning why would I take this kinda test, while less than two months, I'll be entering a new stage of life in college. So here is the thing, 6 months ago my fella students have made their own choices about what they are going to do in the future and about what they'll learn in college, but I found myself seeing things really complicated. I was still confused about what I am going take in the college. It was not because I dont find things that suit my interests. It was just because there were too many things I want to learn in college and so many things I am willing to do in the future. I have bunch of interests to study such as medical studies, architecture, biotechnology, International Relation, environmental and industrial engineering, business and management, fine arts, music, communication, journalistic and Interior Design.

BUT I GOT TO BE REALISTIC OF WHAT'S COMING. I can't do such many things and let them all be as my focuses. I've known it, I'll end up following none. So then I took an ordinary psychological test in an university that has a well known faculty of psychology. The result showed that I'll be best studying in the social base fields, like International Relation and Communication. My engineering skills are good to be said, so are my creativity, verbal and advocating skills. But these might have been becoming as one of my obstacles in determining in what faculty I should be studying.
So then I took another test, and it's called the Graphology Test, a friend of my mom has recommended me to also take the test.

Basically, graphology would only assess you through your way of writing. The expertise will let you know how you are and it is depending on the purpose of your test taking.

Well, I did the writing, she (the graphologist) asked me to write anything I love. it could be about your pet, yourself, your family, your school, or anything. She only needs 15 lines of your writing on an A4 size paper.

Do you have any idea what topic that I had in my writing?? Frankly I wrote it more than 15 lines. It was almost one page of the paper. So, guys, you may have known what did I write :-)

When I reached the third line, the graphologist said, "Hey, tho you have only reached the third line, I've figured out that you are a good art doer and you are a person who appreciate the arts so much". I stopped my writing and stared at her, while thinking, "I AM HAPPY FOR THIS, AND I'M GOING TO CONTINUE WRITING SOME MORE", I smiled widely, "So right!".

Okay, then I was done with the whole writing. Next, she asked me to put my signatures below all the lines. I knew that there must have been something wrong with the signature, then she said, "oh you should change the way you do signature". No probs.

so after few seconds, she began to assess my writing, and describe how I am as a person, below are the things that she said to me that I found incredibly TRUE.

  • I am a good person with good self management, and sometimes I would find myself a bit picky on things.
  • High intelligence, able to absorb and understand things quickly.
  • Less careful on several things. (that is why she recommended me to take the major of International Relation, instead of taking Architecture).
  • I am good in appreciating and judging the arts, and this has been one of the passions I have in my life, but I should just make this as a minor field in a job, because on the other hand, it would be really great if I could use my leadership and diplomacy skills in the major thing that I would do in the future, such as in the International Relation field.
  • I like to take care on things, and have some collections of random things. (Well, yea I do, I love to collect peterpan's pictures and articles, books, shoes, bags, and the posters of my favorite people, and or some artworks).
  • I am a bit sensitive person, but I don't let the sensitivities to interfere other things that I do.
  • This is might be suoooo true: I HAVE NEVER RAN OUT OF ENERGIES. I love to work and spend my energy by working on things that I love. She said that I should continue on working and doing lots of activities, good thing that she also told my mom about this :-)
  • Sometimes, I would likely find myself in an unstable phase, that's why I really often changed my decision back and forth, there are lots of things that I wanted. I am a demanding person.
  • I have always been considering my parents' decision and opinions in all things, especially my mom.
  • I have a potential and skills to be a presenter or a moderator, and she said that I should improve and use these skills.
  • I am a visual type person, that's why the artistic values usually come on the top of my list.
  • I should keep on improving my verbal skills
  • I am a multitalented person, but I should keep those interests as the hobbies that will help me to get up when I was in a down point of my working mood on the major field.
  • I am a proactive and progressive person. While the others are still thinking for the first and second step, I must have thought about the fourth and the fifth step I should take. But I should be more careful on this thing, coz sometimes it is easy for me to lose a focus if I was in a stage of being a multitasking person.
  • I am confidence, and it's always been in a stable rate of oneself.
  • "Pengayom" is a part of who I am, so usually I found it's hard to place my importance above the others. Next time I should be more picky in using this natural charateristic of mine, coz it would be more dangerous if I was trapped in an uncertain condition that will bring no opportunity for me to move and develop myself.
  • Though I have never ran out of energies (amen), I should keep myself healthy by having enough bed time.
  • SETTING TARGET IN EVERYTHING THAT I DO would help me become an even better ME, a better manager in everything that I do, making me more critically active in handling the things in life.
  • Self awarding is a good thing that supports me in achieving the targets.
  • The character of "Pengayom" is extremely good and important, especially if working in the international relation become a major thing that I'd do in the future, but there is also an importance that I should keep and try to do, which is to not accept and think of every one's opinion and interferes toward decisions that I would make.
WEW. that is a lot, I know. But I'm so happy that I had the chance to do this, it makes me able to keep on reflecting how I am doing in a life, how I should improve every minute I spent in this life and how I could use myself to reach the surroundings.

Well, I discussed about my obssesions in life with the graphologist while I still got some times left. I did discussed and shared the story about Peterpan, one of the biggest passions I have in my life. I shared with her about the first time I fell for them. It was so unexpected that she revealed the reasons behind all of my admiration to the band and I am going to give any further story about how we had the discussion on the next entry, coz I bet, you might already have your eyes down after you read such loads of lines in this entry, hehehehehe.

I guess, this one's worth to do, this test will absolutely kick my ass to keep on reflecting and reaching every potentials that I have within myself :-)

Thanks for reading, guys, hope you'd get some goodness in reading this entry.
I'll see you on the next ones.
Kisses :-*

Hello Yorke!

If there was a question popped up in your mind about why I chose HELLO YORKE! as the title of my blog, and ITISTHOM as the name of my blog, there would be a single reason that will make your thoughts follow the further line of questions and these lines that I wrote. I just can say that I LOVE THOM YORKE.

anyone does not know who he is?

well that's necessary to ask :) thom yorke is a guy who has spent most of his life time in Oxford, UK. Yup, he is a British guy, who currently has two kids, named Noah and Agnes, he has ever had his left eye paralyzed, but his father brought him to the doctor and got it fixed by doing some eye muscular surgery. He has an incredible band, called RADIOHEAD, and a genius, yet highly impossible brain that one could have. Why should I say this? I've been thinking and believing that he is a professor of music, I adore every of his piece. He is a guy who is recognisable of his distinctive tenor voice, vibrato, frequent use of falseto and ability, and sustain notes over a wide vocal range, for the further info, you can go to his band's official site ;)

I've been listening to Radiohead's songs since I was in the fourth grade. It was the song Creep that have made me fallen for Radiohead's music.

here is a little flashback of memory that I have, when I was a 9 year old kid who begged her mom for the Pablo Honey cassette at a music store in a mall:
"Mom, can I buy this cassette?", she then shoved her look towards the yellow-ish cover of the cassette.
"What music is this? do you even know the songs? or do you just get youself attracted to the picture in the cover?", fyi, the cover of Radiohead's Pablo Honey album was a picture of babyboy with, I have thought that it was a sunflower hat, but it is not, it's just like yellow-ish thingy circling the baby's head, make it looked more like a sunflower haha.
"Of course I knew what songs I would like to listen in this cassette!"
"What's the title? Sing it"
"One of them titled Creep, I've ever listened to the song before, I just don't know the lyrics, mom"
"Okay, are you sure?"
"I'm sure I want to buy this"
Then there it goes, the first time I listened to a, once, admitted as a massive hit in the era.
but I knew it, my mom cannot ever stand to hear the noises in every music that I like. When I played the cassette in the car on the way back home, with mom and pop, my mom could not stand it and decided to turn off the player, when "You", the first track has already played halfway. then I have never ever played any Radiohead's when there was my mom seating, standing, sleeping anywhere near the music player, or then I should use earphones to let her be without the music.

It was started with Pablo Honey, and I've always been adoring every piece of Radiohead's or even YORKE's, when he did an experimental solo project, the Eraser. it didnt change my favor listening to their tracks. I love them even more. I dont know, I just think that Thom Yorke is such a genius in music, everything he did have always brought me to the biggest excitements and surprises.

afterall, I have Thom Yorke as one of my biggest inspirations, one of my massive influences in the music lurve that I live. thank you, Sir Yorke! :)

See you in the next entries, people! love,
Pyorke.

like an introduction, the late one hehe.

hello there. :) it really is such a great pleasure for me to finally open up my mind and decide to take shots in a blog. WEW. this thing would be huge for me. well, this is how it all begins :) I am Shafira Ayunindya, I'd love to be called by people as Pya, yup that is how you'd call me. I consider myself as a highly spirited teenager (anyway, I'm 17 and by this year's 22nd of August, I'll turn 18 hehe)

I've been living my life in Jakarta, Indonesia with a caring family that consists of my pop, mom, a lil bro and sist. so yea, I'm the first child in the fam. While I'm writting this, I found myself as a girl who just simply excited for her upcoming years in college. I'll be studying in Bandung, another city in Indonesia. I guess, I am a music lover, I love love love love love music more than food :p (again, I guess). I write songs and play in a band, known by some of my friends, or might be some people as Paragraf Pagi with my four "likely" brothers, Andrew, Irvan, and Audi. I never thought I would end up singing, writting and playing in a band, it was all began by my obsession that I have been having since I was in the 6th grade. OKAY, I was trying to hold on to not say the name of the band, you must have known guys, or maybe you must have not. I CAN'T BEAR IT, THE BAND WAS PETERPAN! (pheew) see? you know them? they are known by most of the people as a phenomenon group in the music industry of Indonesia. I'll let you know how my obsession has been going throughout these yearsss. believe me, so many things have happened, i know. I'll share it with you.

Sleesh. another thing, I cant deny the fact that I lovee to talk. to write. to express. to let you know, most of the incredibles I've been through. so I might be apologizing for some of my long long posts or stories. that's why I decided to make a blog.

Since I love my homeland, Indonesia, I'll write my blog in three languages, which are Indonesia, English, and Chinese (dont blame me if you dont find any of my blogs written in mandarin, they just dont have the fonts, okay?). About the entries, most of them will be about things, like, my every day, music, my band, Peterpan, love life (not only with the opposite genders, dude! also my family, friends, or even my teddy? :p ) and you would find more unexpected things haha.

Don't you think this is more than enough for an introduction?

Hey peeps, uh oh, one more sentence; I am excited to make this work, hii so if you want to know how my life has been going so far, just stick to the posts of mine and you guys are most welcomed! thanks so mucho guysoooooo, I LOVE YOU! :)

ps: I am a loud girl. it's such an important thing for you to kno. (nah kidding :p
)
