My Memories Suite GIVEAWAY!
Hey Everyone,
As you may or may not know, I love playing around with images and finding new ways to make my pictures look a little special. Then, I discovered digital scrapbooking. It was quite time-consuming to do it, but the effects were worth it. Just look at the blog header! Haha. I am very proud of it.
A while ago, I was really happy to be given an opportunity by My Memories to try out their Digital Scrapbooking software and host my very first giveaway! Previously, before I knew of this product, I always used Photoshop to edit my images. It can be quite tedious at times at you have to open every image to insert into a page. As I said, it was time consuming. However, with My Memories Suite, digital scrapbooking became so much easier. I had access to the templates that were in the suite and I could also use previous embellishments and papers I got from before. You can even create great pictures on days when you feel that your creative juices have dried up because there are designer templates that you can choose from. It is that easy. Below is a video on what My Memories is all about:
My Memories suite was also rated #1 on Amazon and TopTen Reviews. Well, after editing some of the pictures that was taken on a trip to Hatched with my friends, it is really no wonder why.
Yes, we ate all those delicious food, but the main point is, it was just so easy for me to compile all those photos in one album.
My favourite things about My Memories Suite are:
1) It is so much easier to add effects onto the items you add onto the pictures like shadows and rotation.
2) If I did not have a photo-editing software, My Memories Suite comes with some of the most common photo filters to add effects to your pictures.
3) You do not need any additional software to use this with. It is really an All-in-one programme!
I really look forward to creating picture books like in the video. It can be a really good software to show off your pictures to your friends and family.
Okay, here comes the best part. My Memories have kindly given me a set of My Memories suite(worth $40) to giveaway to one lucky person!
Here is how to go about winning this amazing software:
1) In order to qualify for the giveaway, please go to My Memories, browse through their paperpack and layouts and tell me which is your favourite by commenting to this post.
2) For additional entries, you can
Liking or following My Memories on facebook and twitter will gain you one entry each!
This giveaway ends on October 8th. I will choose the winner then by randon number generator. I wish you all the best!
Last but not least,
As a special thank you for reading my blog, I would like to share with you a promo code that provides a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store -( $20 value!) My code is: STMMMS40664
Well, that's all! Thank you so much for visiting this blog:)
I hope you visit again!

Busy as a bumble bee.
Well, I have been really busy studying in school recently. I get so tired that I collapse onto the bed when I reach home. How sad is that:( But I guess it is a happy sad because I can sacrificing my free time for my future. Sigh. This is really the first time that I went back to school every single day!!! Oh wells. I guess it was not that bad because I always had someone to accompany me. You know, even if you are not talking, just studying by yourself, having someone there makes you feel much less lonely. I mean... you know what I meant. There would be someone to eat lunch with you! Haha.
A few good things happened to me these weeks and I am sort of excited to share them with you. Firstly....I got a new phone!!! I had my Sony Ericsson W995 for what felt like the longest time because everyone was using a smartphone and I was stuck with a walkman phone which was 'in' ten thousand years ago! Haha, not like I am complaining. I still love my W995. It served me well. It was my lullaby, my storybook, my camera, my gameboy, my alarm clock etc etc... So anyway, I went to the IT fair last week and got myself a new HTC Sensation!
Yes, in case you are wondering, it is enormous. It is even bigger than an iphone. Can you believe how big is that? So far, the only complaint I have is that the battery runs out awfully fast. Like...superfast. When studying in school, I only listen to music but I have to charge the phone in school. I finally understand why iphone users always bring their chargers to school. It is okay if I do not use any apps though. The display is very nice----> high battery consumption. My favourite applications are HJ lite(teaches you Japanese), dropwords and coin dozer. Surprisingly, I do not really download tons of games. I am pleasantly surprised by myself. Haha.
From left: Strawberry curlers x2, hair straightening comb, Free DIY cross stitch kit and Magnetic toe ring x2
I know. Magnetic toe ring sounds beyond dubious. It is supposed to help you lose weight via accupressure. But after trying it out for one day, I have decided that it is too uncomfortable to wear. I rather not lose that weight. Maybe my toes are just fat:'( The strawberry curlers worked fine, although, if you have a lot of hair, you will need more than 1 pack. The hair straightening comb is a little hard, made of plastic, but I think that it sort of works. Especially if you use it to comb your hair after shower and when it is damp, then again maybe it was just my imagination. Anyway, I gave the cross stitch kit to my mom. I give up cross stitching again. My previous attempt ended up as a catastrophe. My stitches were too ugly, so I cut them up and ended up ruining the netting thingie.
Lastly, Mymemories has kindly given me two sets of their software. One to try out and the other one to giveaway to my readers, I will be hosting this giveaway later this month because I am in the middle of my exams right now and I would really love to try out the software before giving you a sneak peek of what is it all about. So stay tuned!
Cross your fingers for me at the same time! Ciao!

Secondly, I ordered stuff from the online store SGlady again! I just enjoy looking at wacky stuff online. I got the stuff a day after I ordered it. I love how they are so efficient. Heheh. Good for people like me who cannot wait for their stuff to be delivered to them! :) Anyways...
This was what I got. Postage was 80 cents but I did not need to pay anything because they have free shipping. Haha.

In my shopping cart...#5
Well, same assumption as always, if I had the money, I would get....
 |
| http://www.dmusastore.com/p-3695-sara.aspx |
Pretty dress, even prettier if worn with petticoats. I lovelovelove puffy skirts. If only I dared to wear them.  |
| http://www.disneystore.com/nightmare-before-christmas-organic-cotton-expressions-jack-skellington-tee-for-women/mp/1287633/1000038/ |
This shirt appeals to me, I do not know why. It is cheap, by the way, only S$12. But, not available here. Pity. >:/
A duper cool watch that requires you to dial 117 before it tells you the time! So much cooler than the regular watch! Furthermore, you must dial it the retro way! I used the retro phone in Hokkaido before, it is fun and wacky! I want!
 |
| http://www.irregularchoice.com/shop/womens/product/4248/j-kelly.html?offset=58 I like this. It is cute. The best thing is, you can probably DIY it with mod podge after wearing it for a while or when you get sick of being plain jane. |
That's all for today, Ciao!

Gastronomic Journey to the moon
Well, I have been eating rather good food the last few months. In Lynette's words, my tum-tum is happy. However, as happy as it has become, it means that it is growing bigger too! Time to go on a special diet!:/ I am not a avid photographer, so do not expect too many pictures!
Oysters from Trader's Hotel. They are too big, and if my guess is not wrong, grown in freshwater. So the taste is not very strong. But look at the size! For someone who can eat 20 oysters, I have to say that these were big. I stopped after the tenth. I like eating it with a wedge of lemon. Since these were not salty, I found that adding a few grains of slat makes it more delish!
I went to Shabira's house for lunch today for Hari Raya. I love her mummy's cooking, especially the mutton. Oh god, it was good. I got a good deal because I got to have one more piece of mutton from Sha's friend because she did not like mutton and I gave my chicken to Sha because I do not like chicken, so I was happy I did not need to eat it.(Sneaky me, but it was a win win situation!) I do not have any photos, but I was annoyed by her sister's friend because he kept saying how women should all learn to sew and become virtuous wives. Oh my, what a annoying Male Chauvinist Pig.
Well, that's all, I know it has been a long time since I posted, but I was busy as a bumble bee. Studying is tough job. Ciao!

I miss YOG!
Well, I know I have been missing lately. I was too lazy to post anything. Heh heh. It has officially been a year since the inaugural YOG in Singapore!!! Sigh. How fast time passes even if you are not having fun. I really missed the times we had. I did not take many pictures though. I should have! I was too busy entertaining random athletes, not like some people who was so busy taking pictures. I know you like meeting people all over the world, I do too. But you should know where are your priorities. You are there to entertain then, not really take lots of pictures with them! Argh. Whatever la >P I had a GREAT, MARVELOUS, WONDERFUL, (Insert similar adjectives here)^5 time! I gained really a lot of experience planning stuff and I learnt a hell lot of things about different kinds of people. From those who ignore you, irritate you, are very irresponsible, unreasonable, you said it, I think I got it. Oh well, I think you are not really interested in my rambling anyway, so I shall just get to the pictures, shall I? Please note that these pictures were taken from a old 9MP camera, so the quality is ridiculous:/
So this was the place where I was for 4 days. I was a World Culture Village(WCV) Host! In this WCV, there are many booths representing the different countries. My school was in charge of GERMANY! Anyway, only authorised personnel were able to enter for security purposes and they check your bags and you have the scan your tags before entering. So I think it is cool that I was there. Heh heh! So I thereby give you a peek into the WCV!
I photoshopped this a long while back, so technically, I did not do anything much. I just blurred the background and removed some freckles. I am glad to say that those were my good face days:) I did not even make any eyes bigger. Har har. This is a picture of the two in-charge! Josephine(left) and myself. Obviously I am the one with the bigger face, and I was the ''camwhorer''. It did not help that the picture was very nicely taken, my face is still big. I had braces then. I do not like smiling with braces. Glad to have them off now :D Compare the face width. Eww.
I know this is unclear, but I cannot help it:/ I told you the camera was lousy. I admit that I reduced the size of my face here by quite a bit. My face actually looks okay! Big face, Moonface!<---From the faraway tree, one of my favorite children's books ever! Anyway, this picture was with athletes from Antigua-Barbuda. I am pretty sure this is on one of the last days, because I had badges on my lanyard. I kept the lanyard, but I think it is tarnishing:(
This is a picture with Karla and her fellow swimmer Kevin! I was supposed to bring her around Singapore, but because she had to go to Pulau Ubin for her ''adventure'' and subsequently I had school, we could not meet :'( Pity. I was so excited. They are from Guatemala. Look at the badges they have on their lanyards! According to Karla, it is something like a tradition. Each athlete is given a lot of badges on their way here and they trade badges. So she has many many of them. Me thinks it is a cool way to interact. I managed to get some from the athletes! Yay me! The largest one was the Taipei pin. It had two backings. I had fun with the Taiwanese athletes They said that Singaporeans Chinese cannot make it:/
Here are two Chinese atheles. I remember the guy went on to win a medal. This was also when I felt that my Chinese was terribly bad :/ He was struggling to make the friendship band. Oh, I forgot to mention. The athletes came to the booth and learn about Germany, they also got to do some handicrafts like make friendship bands. If you look carefully, you can see the friendship bands on some of the athletes wrists:) I remember I had difficulty teaching the Chinese guy how to tie it in Chinese-___-|| Josephine got to wear a German costume which belong to a German intern from the embassy. Lucky:) I like that kind of dresses, especially the bodice. I am not being feminist, but I swear, girls can do friendship bands better than guys. There are two designs, the Chinese staircase and diagonal. I usually let them choose which one do they wanna learn, but when I see some of the guys, I go like, hmmm, I think you should do this one. Because you will see, a girl can do it in 30-40 minutes, a guy does it in about half a day. Haha! Especially the really tall ones. Tall=big hands=big fingers= not good for handling threads.
Okay. Two Aussie and one German. I am too lazy to type out the entire conversation, but I think they spent 2 hours in the booth! :) I was telling the German athlete how to tie the friendship band the entire time. And yes, that was all he did. The girl managed to do the friendship band and paint a buddy bear!
I reallyreallyreally missed those times. If Singapore ever organise something like this again, I hope that I will get the opportunity to volunteer again:)
Well, I really need to get back to work now so I will stop here. Ciao!

I feel a change...
Well, as the title states, I can feel a change in me. It is so weird, but in a good way. As I have been saying, I have been staying back to do my homework and revise my subjects to pull up my grades after being traumatized in this recent BT. It really woke me up. I have turned over a new flower(why leaf when flowers are so much better?) and threw most of my bad habits away. Anyway, that is not the main point. The point is, I am changing. I can feel it. I am starting to enjoy studying again! It is so freaky. I mean, I still get dejected sometimes when I get stuck at a question, but I can ask my classmates and we will ponder over it together. It is quite fun. This realization dawned upon me as we were having Chemistry remedial(for the whole class as we[minus one guy] sucked at the subject) My classmate Lynette:) and I were marking our MCQ questions together and we compared the questions we got wrong. I tried to explain to her and vice visa. It is really funny when we both got the question wrong and we stared very hard at the computer screen to decipher what did the model answer mean. It was really funny. I had not had so much fun checking answers before when most of my answers are wrong. I learnt much more in that 1.5 hours than in a normal lesson.
It made me realize that everything can be enjoyable when you do it with the right people. I am glad my classmates are like that. Although we may hurt each other unintentionally sometimes, but we still care for each other. I confess, I used to always fall asleep during lessons and when the teacher ask me questions, I am grateful that both the Josephines sitting beside me will try whisper the answer to me. Even if the answer is wrong, I felt warm inside. Thank you so much dearies. I appreciate it. I think they are so used to doing it that even when I am awake and did my tutorial and have the answer, they will still whisper their answer to me. Hehe:) Old habits die hard.
But anyway, the main point of this blog post is actually to tell you I think studying makes me gu-gu(insane in Singlish) Guess what did I do today??? I stayed in school for night study, and decided I wanted to JOG today. I feel fat. My dad called me to tell me he wanted to jog to my school then we walk home together. But I wanted to jog too so I asked him to wait for me to come home. He said, ''Why don't you jog home?'' I was like, :O ''Crazy! Carry my heavy bag and jog home?'' In the end, we decided that he will bring my running gear to school and I will leave my stuff in school, only bringing my wallet and phone home. So, for the first time in my school bag's life, it is camping in school. I am home. It feels very satisfying to jog actually because I always had an aversion to jogging(long story). Maybe it is due to the stress I am experiencing now or the feeling of fatness. It does not seem so much a torture as it used to. Maybe it was the fact that it was at night and the weather is cooling. I do not know. All I know is, I am glad my father came to run with me today. I needed that. Thank you daddy:) But do not expect this to be an often occurrence as I am generally a lazy person that dislikes the sun. I only jog at night.
This brings me to another point. I usually hug my bag and sleep on the bus in the mornings. I need the bag to sleep. How am I going to get my morning nap tomorrow? Hmmm. Anyway, the soccer teacher saw my dad and myself in jogging gear at school and he was looking at my dad up and down, up and down. Maybe it is because my father ran 9 km before he met me. No wonder I waited so long for him. Haha.
Anyway, after a bout of bad luck, things are finally looking better. I am slowly but surely recovering from the cold, I started to like studying again and my parents are not scolding me recently. I guess they have seen my efforts towards my studies. In case you are wondering what bad things happened to me, here goes(warning:BLOOD)
`
`
`

`
`
Actually, this is my own fault because I left my needles hanging on my curtains after sewing a few buttons because I was to lazy to walk to the sewing kit to keep it.
Other than this, I had a paper cut, was late for school three times in three weeks with only one chance left for the next three weeks, wasted $10 on taxi fare and still ended up in school late(most painful) and spent almost half of my allowance on taxi fare so that I will not be late for school.
I should not complain right? I live an exciting life. But please let it be less exciting till the first of December. My heart might not be able to take it. I am growing old. Haha.
That's all. This a a prime example of a very long post. Thank you for listening to me(if you did) I wonder if anyone's life more exciting then mine? Till next time, ciao!

5 Cool DIYs I wanna try! #4
Well. I have been unbelievably studious lately. It is so tiring:( My conclusion is that I am not very productive at studying. If only we can apply international trade here. Then Apphia can be the brains, I can be the wittiness and we can exchange by brain diffusion. Of course, This will only be able to happen in my dreams. Anyway, Since I do not have the time to craft, I console myself by looking for things I can craft when 1st December comes. I am scared and excited. There are only 100 days more till As. I am so not prepared. So I shall not talk more and list down those cool DIYs so I will be able to get back to studying:/
This is so cute. A little time consuming though.
I love the look of this. It is a little classy. It reminds me of little girls in frocks. They usually wear headbands like these.
I had the ugly version of this when I was younger. Wish I had this instead. I would want little rabbit on it(something Sailormoon wold have)

I have an idea for this, not exactly the same, but using this technique. It will involve crochet.
I have to admit. I tried making this, but because the shirt material, my inexperience and my "professionistism", it was pretty much a disaster. So till I get a new shirt to play with, this will be on my list of DIYs to try.
Yupyup, so that is all for now. Ciao!

Sewing patterns to try ~Dresses
I feel much better now. When I get my sewing machine, I am so gonna try find these in Singapore. I think it is quite difficult to find, but if left with no choice, I can find someone to help me to send some from overseas. Well. Singapore is the most open economy in the world, I am sure I would be able to find at least one sewing pattern here. Haha.
I love the design for C. Somehow, I have this weakness for dresses with a bar? below. I think it makes the dress look less like a wallpaper, especially if the dress is made from the same fabric.
I like the black dress with pattern E. When I look at this, I remember a top that I saw on a girl in a drama. She wore a halter top, and it is tied into a big bow. When she wears a cardigan, and tie her hair in a high bun, it looked sososo cute! Ah. I wish I could carry off that look, but thick necks are not so pleasing to see. Round faces either:/
I like all the dresses in this pattern! Maybe it is because of the colour combination they used. It is so pleasing to the eye. They are also my favourite colours. Lovelove<3 It makes me want to make a maxi dress even if I cannot carry it off.
I like the bottom two dresses. Looks so pretty:)
I think this is a very cool pattern. You can mix and match the top and the bottom. But I really like the second and third dress that the models wear. I think it is because of the mixture of design of fabric. It makes the dress look more special. Love the one with pockets. It looks like a grown up's little girl's dress:)
Nicenicenice! I like all of them, but after seeing someone make pattern A, I think it is so very pretty.
It looks duper elegant, doesn't it? Imagine wearing it with a pearl necklace, you can totally be a Tai Tai already. Heh heh.

I have bad days too.
Well...I am not feeling very well these days, physically and mentally. I feel as if the world has gone against me. It is a horrid feeling. I have started my "stay back everyday to study" routine and it is working so far. I studied more than I ever did before! However, it does not feel enough. It is like no matter how much I study, someone studied more than me, better then me, get better grades. I am pretty upset about my grades and my health had not been feeling better as well. I am sick of having to breathe through one nostril! It sounds funny, but it really is not.
I am upset that people keep belittling me. I am upset that you always make fun and laugh about my inability to enunciate my word properly. Frankly, I am a little angry about it too because when others pronounce the words wrongly, you do not correct them. Only me. I am irritated because when someone corrects my pronunciation, I am not sure if it is correct and when I say it again, someone else says it is pronounced wrongly. If you really want to correct me, pleasepleaseplease make sure that it is correct first. I am sick of having people to correct me at home and outside. Maybe I should just keep quiet. I try really really hard not to think too much about it, but the words that you say keeps resonating in my head. I tried to indicate that I do not really like to have my pronunciation being made fun of, but I do not know if you got it. It did not seem so. You do not know how much I regret not listening during Phonics lesson in Primary 1. Even if I got the pronunciation right, you insisted that it was wrong. I am pretty sure my language skills is not as bad as you think it is. I am not angry at you, as you probably do not know what I feel because I hide it pretty well. I am just expressing my feelings before I explode and cry one day. It would be so embarrassing. I do not know if you will ever read this, but if/when you do, please do not think that I am speaking against you. I am not. Because it is not the first time someone laughed at my enunciation, and it will definitely not be the last. I just hope that I will be good enough such that people will stop commenting on it.
I feel so lost. Have you ever felt that you feel like you are in the right direction, but halfway though you get really confused and feel so lost. Although you know where is your goal and how to get it, it does not feel so straight forward anymore. I dislike this feeling. When will I find my right direction? I am very troubled.
I am glad I got it all out. I realise that I can draw really scary pictures when I am upset. Really. I am shocked. I just wish it will all get better soon. Ciao.

About me.
A few months ago, I found out about this personality test that was said to be very accurate. I did it and I have to say that it is 98% true. I was amazed....actually, I still am now. Haha. It is soo cool. It described me almost to the T. Anyway, here goes the description and my comments in pink and the ones in blue is from the website :
Portrait of an ENFP - Extraverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving
ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it. Hehe, This makes me sound like I am a really nice person. I do hope that I am! ;)
ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values. I think this is really really true. Haha, I am intense>.<
An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction which is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments which they are capable of achieving.I agree with this, but I felt sad while reading it. I want to achieve many things. I hope I do!
Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level. I do not know if I was gushy, but I agree with having a need for acceptance.
Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivious to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members. I do not like cleaning up the house.
An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good at it. The gift of gab which they are blessed with makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want. However, most ENFPs will not abuse their abilities, because that would not jive with their value systems. How do you define an ENFP who has ''gone wrong''? I agree with the second statement.
ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions. Totally agree, that is why I do not judge. Yay me!
ENFPs who have not learned to follow through may have a difficult time remaining happy in marital relationships. Always seeing the possibilities of what could be, they may become bored with what actually is. However, the strong sense of values will keep many ENFPs dedicated to their relationships. ENFPs like a little excitement in their lives, and are best matched with individuals who are comfortable with change and new experiences. :/ I want to be happy.
Having an ENFP parent can be a fun-filled experience, but may be stressful at times for children with strong Sensing or Judging tendencies. Such children may see the ENFP parent as inconsistent and difficult to understand, as the children are pulled along in the whirlwind life of the ENFP. Sometimes the ENFP will want to be their child's best friend, and at other times they will play the parental authoritarian. But ENFPs are always consistent in their value systems, which they will impress on their children above all else, along with a basic joy of living. Not applicable to me(yet). but it sounds like me.
ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. Consequently, ENFPs work best in situations where they have a lot of flexibility, and where they can work with people and ideas. Many go into business for themselves. They have the ability to be quite productive with little supervision, as long as they are excited about what they're doing. AGREE. Therefore, I need to be more excited about studying NOW.
Because they are so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, ENFPs often suffer from muscle tension. They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labeled. They need to maintain control over themselves, but they do not believe in controlling others. Their dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves. Explains my constant muscle aches.
ENFPs are charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through. Nice way to describe me. I hope it is true:)
ENFPs take their relationships very seriously, but also approach them with a childlike enthusiasm and energy. They seek and demand authenticity and depth in their personal relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort into making things work out. They are warm, considerate, affirming, nurturing, and highly invested in the health of the relationship. They have excellent interpersonal skills, and are able to inspire and motivate others to be the best that they can be. Energetic and effervescent, the ENFP is sometimes smothering in their enthusiasm, but are generally highly valued for their genuine warmth and high ideals. Oh dear, I hope I did not smother you with my ethusiasm?
ENFPs may also feel threatened by individuals with strong Judging preferences. With a tendency to take any criticism personally, the ENFP may find themselves irritated or emotional when the Judger expresses a negative opinion, believing somehow that the Judger is expressing disapproval or disappointment in the ENFP. YES:'( I will keep thinking about it and become very self conscious.
For close friendships, ENFPs are especially drawn to other iNtuitive Feeling types, and to other Extraverts who are also enthusiastic about life. Like the other iNtuitive Feeling types, the ENFP needs authenticity and depth in their close relationships. They're likely to have friends from all walks of life who they feel close to and care about, but will have only a few very close friends with similar ideals to their own. The ENFP also tends to value the company of iNtuitive Thinkers. Maybe? Difficult to determine if you do not know your friend's personality types.

(Extraverted Intuition with Introverted Feeling)
The Inspirer
As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system. To tell you the truth, I do not really understand this statement. So let us skip this one.ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it. Hehe, This makes me sound like I am a really nice person. I do hope that I am! ;)

ENFP Relationships
ENFPs take their relationships very seriously, but also approach them with a childlike enthusiasm and energy. They seek and demand authenticity and depth in their personal relationships, and will put forth a lot of effort into making things work out. They are warm, considerate, affirming, nurturing, and highly invested in the health of the relationship. They have excellent interpersonal skills, and are able to inspire and motivate others to be the best that they can be.

ENFPs as Lovers
"To love means to open ourselves to the negative as well as the positive - to grief, sorrow, and disappointment as well as to joy, fulfillment, and an intensity of consciousness we did not know was possible before." -- Rollo May
I am not commenting on this-.- it is too weird to do so.ENFPs make warm, considerate, passionate partners who are generally willing, eager, and able to do whatever it takes to make The Relationship a positive place to be. They are enthusiastic, idealistic, focused on other people's feelings, and very flexible. These attributes combine to make them especially interested in positive personal relationships, and also makes them very able to promote strong relationships in fun and creative ways. ENFPs take their commitments very seriously, and are generally deeply loyal and faithful to their partners.
There are a couple of difficult relationship areas for the ENFP. The first problem is that many ENFPs have a problem leaving bad relationships. They tend to internalize any problems and take them on their own shoulders, believing that the success or failure of the relationship is their own responsibility. As perfectionists, they don't like to admit defeat, and will stick with bad situations long after they should have left. When they do leave the relationship, they will believe that the failure was their fault, and that there was surely something they could have done to save the relationship.
On the entirely other end of the spectrum, many ENFPs have a difficult time staying focused and following things through to completion. If they have not focused on their ability to follow through, they may have problems staying in dedicated, monogamous relationships. They are so in tune with all of the exciting possibilities of what could be, that they will always fantasize about a greener pasture out there somewhere. If they are not paired with a partner who enjoys new experiences, or who shares their idealistic enthusiasm, the ENFP may become bored. The ENFP who is bored and who is not focused will be very unhappy, and will eventually "leave" the relationship if the problem is not addressed.
Since relationships are central to the ENFP's life, they will be very "hands on" and involved with their intimate relationships. They may be in the habit of constantly asking their partner how they're doing, what they're feeling, etc. This behavior may be a bit smothering, but it also supports a strong awareness of the health (or illness) of the relationship.
Sexually, The ENFP is creative, perfectionist, playful and affectionate. Their rich fantasy world makes them fun and creative lovers, who usually have new ideas up their sleeves. They whole-heartedly embrace the opportunity for closeness with their mates, believing sexual intimacy to be a positive, fun way to express how much you love each other.
The ENFP needs to be given positive assurance and affirmation. More than one ENFP has been known to "go fishing" for compliments. They like to hear from their significant others that they are loved and valued, and are willing and eager to return the favor. They enjoy lavishing love and affection on their mates, and are creative and energetic in their efforts to please. The ENFP gets a lot of their personal satisfaction from observing the happiness of others, and so is generally determined to please and serve their partners.
A problem area for ENFPs in relationships is their dislike of conflict and sensitivity to criticism. They are perfectionists who believe that any form of criticism is a stab at their character, which is very difficult for them to take. Conflict situations are sources of extreme stress to the ENFP. They have a tendency to brush issues under the rug rather than confront them head-on, if there is likely to be a conflict. They are also prone to "give in" easily in conflict situations, just to end the conflict. They might agree to something which goes against their values just to end the uncomfortable situation. In such cases, the problem is extended and will return at a later time. The ENFP needs to realize that conflict situations are not the end of the world. They are entirely normal, and can be quite helpful for the growth of a relationship. They also need to work on taking criticism for what it is, rather than blowing up any negative comment into an indictment against their entire character.
Generally, the ENFP is a warm and affirming creature who is very interested and able to have an intense, meaningful, close relationship with their mate.
Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, ENFP's natural partner is the INTJ, or theINFJ. ENFP's dominant function of Extraverted Intuition is best matched with a partner whose dominant function is Introverted Intuition. How did we arrive at this?
ENFPs as Parents
"You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth...
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran
Not a parent yet, but it sounds like me!Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable." -- Kahlil Gibran
ENFPs take their parenting role very seriously, but are also very playful. There's a bit of grown-up kid in every ENFP, so they get a lot of fun and enjoyment from playing with their children. However, they consider it essential to pass their strongly-held values and beliefs down to their children, and will strive consistently to create a positive, ideal environment for their children's growth.
The ENFP may exhibit an inconsistency in their roles with their children. At one moment, they might be their child's best friend, laughing and whooping it up, and in the next moment they may appear the stern authoritarian. This inconsistency seems to be a result of a conflict between the ENFP's genuine desire to relate to their children on the children's level, and their compulsion to follow their deeply-felt value system. In other words, the ENFP wants to be their child's friend, but if a value is violated, they will revert to the parental role to make sure their children understand the violation. This inconsistency may be confusing and frustrating for the children.
The children of ENFPs generally feel loved, because the ENFP gives their children plenty of genuine warmth and support. They usually value their children as individuals, allowing them room for growth. The ENFP's enthusiasm and affection may at times seem smothering to their children. This will be especially true for children with strong Thinking or Sensing preferences, who will have a difficult time understanding the effervescence of the ENFP, and will feel at times embarrassed by the ENFP's enthusiasm and tendency to display their affection publicly.
The ENFP is able to take care of day-to-day necessities, such as picking children up at the correct times, getting them to softball practice, getting them fed, etc. However, it is a chore for the ENFP and is not a natural strength. The ENFP also has a difficult time disciplining their children, unless a very strongly-held value has been violated.
The rich imagination and creativity of the ENFP parent creates a fun, dynamic and exciting environment for kids. The ENFP's strong value system turns experiences into meaningful lessons for their children. The ENFP parent is valued by their children for their warm, affirming natures, and their fun-loving approach to living.
ENFPs as Friends
ENFPs are warm and sociable people who are keenly in tune with other people's feelings and perspectives. They are energetic and fun to be with. They are very affirming, and get great satisfaction from supporting and lifting up others. They are idealists who seek authenticity in their personal relationships. ENFPs are valued by their peers and confidantes as warm, supportive, giving people.
In the workplace or other casual relationship environments, the ENFP is likely to get along well with almost all other types of people. ENFPs are genuinely interested in people, and are highly perceptive about them, to the point where they're able to understand and relate to all of the personality types with relative ease. They like to see the best in others, and are likely to bring out the best in others. While they are generally accepting of most all people, ENFPs with strong Feeling preferences may have a difficult time understanding people with very strong Thinking preferences who do not respond to the ENFP's enthusiastic warmth. The ENFP will stay open-minded about what they consider a "rejection" by the Thinker, until the situation has repeated itself a few times, in which case the ENFP may shut themselves entirely against the Thinker. I think this might be true:/ ENFPs may also feel threatened by individuals with strong Judging preferences. With a tendency to take any criticism personally, the ENFP may find themselves irritated or emotional when the Judger expresses a negative opinion, believing somehow that the Judger is expressing disapproval or disappointment in the ENFP. YES:'( I will keep thinking about it and become very self conscious.
For close friendships, ENFPs are especially drawn to other iNtuitive Feeling types, and to other Extraverts who are also enthusiastic about life. Like the other iNtuitive Feeling types, the ENFP needs authenticity and depth in their close relationships. They're likely to have friends from all walks of life who they feel close to and care about, but will have only a few very close friends with similar ideals to their own. The ENFP also tends to value the company of iNtuitive Thinkers. Maybe? Difficult to determine if you do not know your friend's personality types.

It's equally important to understand what is really important to you.

Okay, after reading my personality type, please do not go judging me. If you do, do not tell me. Or maybe do tell me. But I think everyone should try this:) It is informative. I wish I thought of using the description here for my SGC/testimonial. But no, it was only when my friend mentioned it that I realised I should have!
Anyway, I just wanted to share with you the website I went to do the test. Try it! :D You might be pleasantly/not so pleasantly surprised!
Oh and according to another description of ENFPs, I have the same personality as....ARIEL! From The Little Mermaid. She is my favourite Disney princess ever! Now I know why I lovelovelove her. We are a kindred spirit! Who cares if she is a fictional character. I wonder about Usagi-chan's personality.(Sailor Moon)
Anyway, if you read the entire thing, thank you for your kind attention. I am glad someone is actually interested in listening to me. It does not feel that way sometimes:/ Ciao!
