About me?

Consider the word "charismatic." If someone called me charismatic, I will be incredibly flattered (and hugely surprised.) But if I call myself charismatic, you will think I'm a jerk--and rightly so.

Joke! ;)

Well, Im generous .
I could say that . Mapagbigay daw ako eh :)
Hehehe.

I'm Humble or atleast I like to think I'm humble.

Passionate. I've written about this before and it's still true. Passion is never claimed. Passion is displayed. Plus it's really easy to sound over the top; claim you're passionate about, oh, designing functional workspaces and you sound just a bit hyperbolic.

Here's a better option. Save your passion for your loved one. That person truly deserves it.

Empathetic. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.

That's great but also almost worthless unless you do something with those shared feelings: offer support, offer help, offer guidance, offer tough love, etc. Feeling empathetic is fine, but what you do with that feeling makes all the difference for the other person.

Claiming you're empathetic turns a feeling that should be all about another person into a description that's all about you--which, of course, is completely not the point.

I also call myself ..
Straightforward. Maybe it's just me, but I read "straightforward" and it sounds similar to starting a sentence using, "With all due respect..." Straightforward is usually a code word for rude, abrasive, disrespectful, or impolite.

Be straightforward all you want. We'll assess your level of candor by what you say, not by what you call yourself.

There's more. But I doubt to write it all. You might think i look myself as perfect.
I'm not perfect.
Nobody's perfect (gasgas)

I'm perfectly imperfect :)
