Did you guys Notice a fly  Belly dancing with me. Meet Fly? Must be one of Anthoney’s good friends. Lol

Song?

I was flipping channels last saturday, it seemed they put some tamil movie and i got to see this song. Hearing the bellydance music, i told myself this is just perfect.

Dance steps?

The first one i did. Its called chest rotations. I did the “camel” as my second step. I could never master the camel and i am still not sure if what i did was a camel. Please dont pay attention to the pathetic arm movements. Its not from bellydance. My hands just moved about. There are real arm dance moves for bellydance. And its quite nice to do. It circulates blood. Example, snake arms, pyramid arms, nile arms. They have a few.I did the “duck walk” as the third. Hip drop kick. Thats my personal favourite.

Important discovery

While i was mixing indian and arabic dance. I realized that most indian dances use bellydance moves. The only difference is that in indian dance, its much faster and more jerkier movements. Like the one, i did. It seemed like i was doing something else. I have seen that jerky movement in many bollywood( i hate bollywood, malayalam cinema rocks) songs. Its one of my favourite steps. It goes well with the beats.

You must have noticed me moving hands along with the hips. Such movements give a smooth flow to your dance. It gives the illusion that your hip is moving smoothly.

Another point, for GOD SAKE’S do warm up exercises before you bellydance or you may end up having body aches like what i am suffering now…

Lesson?

Since Zelda couldnt come over this week, atleast the fly attended this session lol. I will make a video to break down these steps. I didnt plan it well. It was great exercise for me though. My back still aches. This blog has now becoming my official bellydancing blog. I will post the break down video steps next week. Keep tuning in.

People ask a cliche question? What attarcts you to a man. Some says eyes, body, personaility or the way they carry themselves?

There was once i remmebered a friend asking me this question. And i answered without thinking …facial hair?

What power does it have? I thought it only suited some people. But in actual reality it brings out the person’s eyes and the rest of their features. Its like growing hair. Many women dont like having real long hair. But if you know how to wear it, you can look feminine. Like this actress, Celina jaitley. After seeing her, i told myself i shall grow mine too.

Its how you groom it. When we say beard, no one means santa claus or osama bin laden. Something light and nice. And it does have alot of charm. Like Johnny depp for example. I find alot of women telling me they don’t ike the idea of a moustache or a beard. Again its preference.

Just like certain type of earrings suit certain face shapes. Beards and moustaches fall under the same category. I am inspired after looking at Ryan’s beard. I couldnt help thinking on how much it accentuated his oval shaped face and bring out his eyes. In fact, i could notice the color of the eyes. He does look like Johnny depp now. Maybe we should get him a pirate hat. But i was a little disappointed with Melanie’s new hairstyle though. I missed her long hair, espcially when she tied in pig tails. Her hairdresser thinned hair too much at the ends. And she keeps her bangs parted in the middle for some strange reason, maybe to help her see her way through. It would have been better if she switched to side bangs as she has an oblong face. Lets not forget Zelda’s new hairstyle. She looks cool. Fringe does make you over! Really!

Facial hair is a turn on for me atleast. I remmebered begging my ex(that same pig) to grow on. I waited like forever. It did grow. His beard atleast. But moustache didnt make it.He asked me what the hell am i gonna do with it. And i said many things…many things…. 

(A MAN IS A MAN WHEN ONLY HE HAS A MOUSTACHE

-ARISTOTLE)

SEXY ARISTOTLE! MUACK

lol thats not a real qoute by the way!

Video? 

This video was done at 2am at my house. Well, zelda feels bellydance is a great exercise. And i feel every woman should try it. I have covered some main moves here. And we tried to dance for an indian song. Tamil song to be exact. Even though i dont watch tamil movies much. I find tamilans can dance better than malayalees or any other indians from other states of india. Therefore, i admire them and i watch some videos some times.

The drum beats are faster and i feel they are more creative in making better dance moves than bollywood or even malayalam cinema for that matter!

Zelda has decided to learn bellydancing from me. Even though, i swear i am no expert. REALLY! But atleast i feel less lonely now i have Zelda.

Should i open a club?

Lol. Since it is a great form of exercise i felt our school should open a bellydancing club. Even though, i still am against performing in public. Mainly because some men have no manners and they feel we are entertaining them. I have had experience where people throw money. Really! We are not here to entertain you! And maybe we should come up with clothes which are less revealing or something. It really puts a dancer off when the audience treat you in such a strange manner?

My aim?

Maybe to try mixing indian and arabic dance to create a great style. Indians are famous for thier hip movements anyways! So by adding a shimmy here and there it might seem alot better?

OPINION ON MYSELF

After dancing the whole night, we watched the videos. And  to be honest, i felt awkward. I sound like a mother. Its so weird. Maybe i am so used to teaching people, it has already become a habit. Sometimes, i accidently do it with adults too. And i really dont mean it. But maybe its just the way i am. Zelda seems happy with it even though she admits its quite irritating smetimes. I cant blame myself, i mean they are like my younger sister’s age? And i am kinda old. Its hard for me to be like them. So i guess i will have to be real quiet next time.

Zelda and i did have a lot of fun and we did managed to finsih our art project among all the dancing. She admits i get hyper and distracted easily. I was jumping all night long singing a stupid song. Thats alot for an old lady. And Zelda told me i am looking old already. Haiz :’( Maybe i should start buying some wrinkle creams, let me turn 25 and i will officialy get good anti wrinkle cream!

Well i apologise that i have not been really practising. And what you see above is not pure bellydance. I have tried to mix it with indian dance to make it sound alright to the hindi song. I am trying to choreograph something new and interesting. And this was just practising so please forgive my steps.  Bellydance has nothing to with erotic dancing. It makes me really angry when ignorant people have the wrong idea about this dance.

ORIGIN?

Bellydance originated from eqypt and it was mainly brought for women! It was a form of exercise to prepare women for childbirth or those who suffer from menstrual cramps. It helps to reduce the pain. It has NOTHING to do with erotic dancing mainly because it was danced among women! In fact many young arab women practises this form of dance in modern saudi arabia.

SOME MOVES?

Belly dance is not only for women. I have seen males who danced. And there didnt look sissy to me. In fact, they danced it the “manly” way. It helps build muscles. My most favourite step is the shimmy

WHAT IS SHIMMY?

The fast hip movement i did in the video is shimmy. Shimmies seem electrifying and it isnt really hard to do. What i love about bellydance is that it is something like a puppet show. My tummy seems to be moving really fast. But in actual reality, the mechanism is my legs. That is why long flowing skirts are used in bellydance to give a sort of illusion that the person is like a snake.

HOW TO DO A SHIMMY?

Not easy to read and dance. Better you get a proper instructor. You can try though?

1)STAND STRAIGHT. LIFT UP YOUR CHEST.

2)PUT YOUR LEGS TOGETHER AND KEEP YOUR KNEES LOOSE

3)NOW BEND ONE KNEE FORWARD, NOW BEND IT BACK WHILE YOU BEND THE OTHER KNEE FORWARD. KEEP MOVING. AND DO IT REAL FAST

you will notice your hip is moving vigourously?

IF ITS NOT!

A) YOU DIDNT GET MY INSTRCUTIONS

B) MY INSTRCUTIONS REALLY SUCK

C)GET A TUTOR?

There is a nice lady down arab street. Her name is Samra el said. Try learning from her. If you love me so much, you can learn from me FREE of charge. lol

Why did i decide to learn this?

Well, this became an addiction after my breakup with this person. And i have bad cramps. In fact, the first day i hardly get off my bed. And i usually cant go to school or work. Therefore, i need to dance it helps reduce the pain. And i dont have such bad cramps anymore! :) Bellydancing outfits are better ordered than bought from here. The selection here sucks and they charge you the president’s salary! If you are that poor, get a long skirt, tie an indian jewellery waist belt and dance. Its better than nothing!

Two crazy terrorists dancing at their sexiest! Gay terrorists at my house!

FSV INTERVIEW DISASTER!

June 18, 2007

Well the interview at FSV, This is how i was before the interview

I had nothing much in mind actually. I didnt remmeber applying for this course. I called up the lady at ngee ann and she told me i got into FSV. I was a little disappointed as i wanted Mass Comm. I told myself i wasnt going. And i wasnt. Until, my evil elder sister and i had a fight and she was cursing me i would never ace any interview. Therefore, i got ready. I had no idea what was this course about. Saw a picture of some students holding cameras aimlessly. Read about media here and there and slept at 3am! I wanted to go to prove my sister that she is a pig!

Therefore i got ready. In business management, we are taught never to wear long earrings as they cause distractions. So, i put these on. I wore a pink office shirt. I was taught to wear lighter colours as darker colors can seem intimidating! I put on simple makeup, just as my previous course taught me. And i went

AT THE INTERVIEW…

I stepped in. I am not exaggerating the scene. But looking at the reactions of the people there, i wanted to make a U- TURN, run away and NEVER return. Everyone was dressed casual. I was like… “IS THIS AN INTERVIEW OR A FISH MARKET?”. Then i realised…how olddd are theseee peopleee…..

The two ladies issuing some papers wasnt quite sure if i was the interviewer or interviewee. I could see they were pretty reluctant until i told them i came for an interview!

EMBARASSED!!!

I quietly sat. With a file by my side. Slowly i took out my mobile phone. I needed to cry to somebody. I called my friend and told her how awkward i felt. I am sure i was dressed for the correct occasion. But seeing all of them sooo casual, really made me feel like an idiot! My mother was the 2nd victim. I told her i was coming back. I eyed young people with styrofoam boards full of pictures. I looked at my pathetic file of papers. Articles i had written… Why am i even carrying them for a course i need to be technical?

THE INTERVIEWER

There was a man beside me. I didnt dare look up. I was already embarassed i looked old. And on top of that, i was over dressed comparing to the “fish mongers” in that place. Even the interviewers werent dressed like me. This European man was most probbaly my interviewer. I told myself i wasnt going to smile at anybody. I was already upset my portfolio isnt a portfolio and i know nothing about a film. The only thing can save me a seat in that course is my mouth!!

THAT MOMENT…

They called  me in. It was a win or lose situation. Anyway, i am going home to get myself some sleep after this. It was the man. He looked different from any european ive met. He had a cap? The same cap my daddy wears! We shook hands and i sat down. As he was talking, i continued observing him. His accent…naw not american…not english…German..? Doesnt sound like florian? Maybe french. Maybe Jewish. He had a cap. He doesnt sound like a israeli? Will he shoot me down if i bring up the article i wrote about the cartoons?

Then i rested on one conclusion. Definitely, french. I gave him whatever i wrote. He told me i was more cut out for mass comm.

Uh ho!

Voiceover: Thats why i am here man. I didnt get in there!!!

He asked that question. The very question my friend who is in film warned me about. WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF FILM?

I was hell of a tempted to answer him. Film is what i put in my compact film camera. I smiled at him. As usual, i spoke TOOOOOOOOOO much.

Film. I poined to the articles i wrote to the CIMS society. All were pretty sensitive. I was telling him writers today atleast some of them, write in really hurtful manner. Some truths need to be packaged nicely. A writers job is to shed light on an issue not cause chaos. And if i were to be a film director i will make a movie that can show the most sensitive issue in the nicest possible manner to the public. Where nobody;s feelings will be hurt.

We continued talking. And he asked me another cliche question

WHY DID U CHOOSE FILM INSTEAD OF WRITING THEN?

I told him this. In a story, when an author describes a garden. He has a picture on his head. But when reader one and reader two reads that. Their pictures will not match what the author has in his head!

Whereas in a film. i recreate a scene that was in my mind. The emotions and everything will be displayed. And people will recieve it the way it was in my mind. That is the power of film.

He nodded. And i continued condemning singapore as usual. He was an “ANG MO” it would never concern him i guessed. I told him how hard is to make a movie in singapore. And its because of the strict government that a film maker can never get too creative. He agreed with me.

I was bored and decided to just keep talking. I mean conversations are nice. I was telling him what all i felt that moment. He was the only one in the room. I told him how can singaporean government expect someone to be creative if they give them rules and guidlines. And i was telling him how stupid of them to believe entrepreneurs will thrive in singapore if there are so many conventional thinkers. And every young singaporen is trained to be convention.

What is your favourite film?

Hmm. I didnt have a long list like Josh. I hardly watch films. And hollywood films, Never! My brain was trying to think of one good english movie i watched. Nothing came at that moment. Then i bursted out…GURU

I told him its bollywood. I think he asked me why i liked the film

I told him its a real story about an entrepreneur in india. Dhirubhai Ambani. He had only 50 rupees in his pocket when he came to bombay. He was uneducated yet he shook the businnes world of india. And i told him something else.

Sab: Do you know whats the difference between an educated and an uneducated person? Educated people are those who sit in brightly lit rooms. They can see the dangers surrounding them. The good and the bad. Uneducated peopleare like those in dark room. They cannot see the danger nor the good. And the reason why many uneducated people become entrepreneurs is because, they step without looking or thinking. In other words, they take risks. Whereas an educated person measues and thinks too much. I like the way the movie portrayed that!

He told me i must watch different type of films. At that point, i wasnt think of anything? In my mind, are you reffering to french films? It is only now i know there are experimental and many other types of films.

I remembered him ending off with him having israeli friends. I think i was speaking about palestine for some reason. In my mind, a small conclusion formed. This man must be jewish. The cap says it all. What is the significance of the cap? I dare not ask? Are you hiding patch of baldness or something (please forgive me, my dad does that). I was hoping he would remove that cap. Maybe he is really jewish! Jewish french. He doesnt sound like an israeli. I know how they speak? He told me the next section will be easy. That was where i met Eugene…

I left the interview, telling myself, i would never get in. I thought halfway through the interview. The moment he kept asking me, what i wanted to do in the media field and the fact he told me i am more mass comm, i tolf myself its a goner. Lol. I wanted to occupy my time and speak to someone. Just anyone. I never thought i would get selected.

But i did! Naw i wasnt shocked. I just thanked God and the jewish man for pitying me and giving me this seat.

I thanked the jewish man in my heart. I really dont want to see him again. Partly, i am embarrased. I spoke too much. And i think, back of his mind , he probably thought this girl will never stop talking…

And i see him in FMS block.I want to thank him. But i dare not. He looks like my father for some reason. The cap and all. And the emabarssments of the interview come back to me. I am sure he remmebers me. Whenever i see him, i run away…

MORAL OF THE STORY!!

NEVER! NEVER talk toooo much even if u believe you will never ace that interview. And i didnt bother asking my interviewer’s name even though i am very grateful to him. I had nicknamed him THE JEWISH MAN. And thank you very much JEWISH MAN,

 

ARE YOU SHOCKED. KEEP READING!

That was quite alot of $lutty posing. Why do you think i would do that? I was curious. I was stopped by an old chinese man, about 65 years in this lonely shopping center and from the way he was suggesting to me, he mistook me for a PROSTITUTE! And this pictures are a result of me analyzing my ownself if i looked like one?

I just kept smiling, and i was ready to give him a tight slap. I was not dressed badly at all. In fact,i always have a shawl on my bosom and i am sure my whole class knows that. I was so baffled i kept wondering what made him think i was that.

And i recalled the comments of people from my past. My face. I never was blessed with a good face. There is a saying in the indian language, a person’s heart is reflected on the face. In my case, its not! No one ever trusted me for some reason. My ex(the only idiot i ever loved) was so suspicious of me because of the way i look. I never had much girlfriends back at school. For some reason,they thought i stole their boyfriend?  Tobe honest, i was a loner in school. My friends were all guys. That was how i developed a love for soccer!

There was an incident when this loser was trying to flirt with shirin me and feroza. That guy was hell of a good to shirin and feroza as they looked like angels. And to me, he was inviting me to his bedroom. And he even told me not to tell this to my friends. The best part, i am the most religious of the three!

There were times, i tried to hide the way i look by cleverly dressing! I started wearing long skirts and looking cheery and “good”. Then i came across my mom’s old picture. She didnt have a good person’s look either.But lucky for her, she looked sexy! Then i thought, since i cant ever change the way i look. I will just be the way i am.

That was when i got a pair of slutty earrings and let myself be the way i am. People are quick to judge a person by their face. Or from the way they look. I came across a malayalee guy. I call him kuttu. He looks really sexy! A type of guy any girl wont mind having a one night stand with!  But, who would trust such a face. He looked like a real flirt.There were times i suspected him of being someone bad.I remembered times when i hurt his feelings so bad, i think he even cried!  When i realised my behaviour, i learnt how quick i was to judge people.

I had a guy friend, who looked like a  ”goody two shoes”. We spoke alot and shared our ideologies. Then, i began to see his other side. Sometimes people who look nice arent always the nice guys. And people who have a villainious face like me, are not always bad!

My face got me into alot of trouble. But i am used to it. My ex(the same idiot i wrote the letter to) took a long time to gain trust in me. He would never believe i am a loyal person. There were times i felt upset about it. Like, why isnt my face like pamela’s. She looks like an angel and i look like some bar top dancer!! Even if i were to say,”i am really good!”. People just laugh.Another person who has an unfortunate face like mine, is poor Seri. When i looked at her, my 1st impression was that she is a flirt. But she is such a good girl! Really! 

My face never did earn me friends. It did earn me alot of unwanted attention. Like the old man at the mall. I felt like dragging him to a corner and rape him upside down to teach him a lesson! But i think he would have died. Never judge a person by the face. Looks can be decieving. Its aways better to judge that person by the character than the look!

I saw a nice post of Diana about para para. A thing i was crazy about when i was 15 years old until they chased me out as i was under aged. Seeing Mr Ryan dancing, made me feel like running back to sun plaza and dance to those familiar songs. But, i feel like i am kinda old for that now. So

And i am now dancing in my own room, in the bathroom, everywhere in the house where no one can see me :) I love these songs! I would listen to them when i am exercising on my elliptical trainer! I used to always lose when this song “NIGHT of fire” comes. Maybe, i would buy my own arcade one day and dance to para para till i drop dead.

My Poor sister shabana fainted once from dancing too much! The girl in pink below posing beside the fatty rabbit is my elder sister Zareena who looks just like me! Thats what people say! And she doesnt know how to use msn LooooooL

(ME AND MY YOUNGER SISTER SHABANA)

(My sis Zareena)

I bursted out to my dad that life is short and i should just go and play para para. Maybe, i can drag a kid along, and play using the kid as an excuse, so people wont laugh at me! And my dad said, “Shanu! Where do you get such evil ideas from?”

THATS NOT A EARRING ON MY NOSE! THATS A NOSE RING! AND THAT WHAT POOR BRIDES ARE MADE TO WEAR IN CERTAIN PARTS OF INDIA. AND AFTER THIS PIC, I WAS HAPPILY DIGGING MY NOSE AS IT WAS ITCHY! IMAGINE THE POOR BRIDES?

And the lady at little india sold me a nose ring for twice its price!!! and i only got to discover until i decided to buy another at TEKKA MARKET!! And she took one look at me and said… “you must be a foreigner?”

NOSE RING NO. 2

This was much easy on my nose! It felt less itchy..but the digging didnt stop and i was sneezing quite alot after removing these accesories!

Lets face it! Nose rings are pretty minus the itch

NOSE RING NO. 3

tHIS one is sooo tiny! But lovable! That lady robbed me again. I paid 2 bucks for this one where i could have paid like 50 cents!!!

END OF NOSE RING INVASION

2)GERMAN DREAM!

Today, in the bus i kept thinking of my friend Florian. We always had a dream. Florian is still quite fascinated by singaporeans way of adding “LAH” to every word or sentence. And he claims its really different back in Germany and he asked me if its compulsory to add “lah” at the end of every sentence.

Since Germans hardly speak English or favor the English language, we came up with a plan! We will sit in a local singaporean coffeeshop and speak in proper english to the local “auntie”.  Instead of saying, “Auntie ah can have one cup copi O”, we would say “Can we have a cup of coffee” imitating the accent of the Britain people.

And in Britain, we will sit like the local singaporean Ah beng “chinese gangster” with messy hair and shorts, squatting on the chair  and ask “Aiyo come here lah! U got Copi O o Not!! i veli hungly lah”

Its really strange, but would love to try that one day? Wonder who would sponser the both of us to England?

FLORIAN ROCKS!!!! I dont remmeber asking him to grow a goatee! But just love that facial hair on men. Like a goat, so nice to touch! Lol!

Archetypes and analysing people   I am opening this character game to everyone. The aim of this game, is to dissect yourself into the many characters that are in you. I am going to use the tool ARCHETYPES. Archetypes are grouping people onto broad categories. Studying people had always been part of my life. Whether its a new friend or a teacher, I find new ways in looking at them Arwa and i had another resourceful conversation. Apparently, her sister who is a psychologist was reading a book about archetypes. And there are 12 archetypes in a person. We are born with four. The four are Child, prostitute, victim and Saboteur. And 8 are chosen by us. Archetypes are like characters in you, the different types of characters. Are you thief, beggar, king, prostitute or knight? And this is why we behave different to different people.

So after much reading, I decided to analyze myself  Before i begin unmasking myself, let me give you a clearer idea. When i say you are a beggar, it does not mean you are in need of money. It means you beg for attention, love or recognition. Or when i say Prostitute, i don’t mean it any sexual way. What i mean is, when we want to get a job we sell ourselves or we sell our projects so our teachers would give us marks.  And the idea is to find out what are the 8 primary archetypes that make YOU up! Dissect yourself and explore who you are. This can be fun. Characters are created by mixing a few archetypes.

 Imagine creating someone so powerful yet weak. The character of Moll flanders who is known to be resourceful can also be defined as a mixture of very interesting archetypes.

For those, who want to play the game, leave me a comment. The rules are to find the 8 primary archetypes in you and how one archetype could have led to another.  

Unmasking Sabreena…

I had experienced some difficulty in classifying myself as some archetypes are so similar that i have merged them. So i have sort out 8 of them. Another piece of advice is, when choosing; choose what you are and not what you want others to think you are. With that in mind, i shall start listing. Sometimes one archetype can lead to another, explaining how you become a certain character.  

CHILD-INNOCENT-A innocent child believes everything is possible. This archetype is gifted with the power of imagination. When this archetype gets injured, they can get pretty pessimistic. In my case, it is quite true. I believe everything is possible and i keep trying every possible way to attain something. And there was a phase, when i became cynical and pessimistic. Or if you get hurt by something, you don’t dare cross that path again. In that way, i believe this is a primary part of me. 

MOTHER-The Mother is the life-giver, the source of nurturing and nourishment, unconditional fountain of love, patience, devotion, caring, and unselfish acts. I am a mother to everyone I love. Whether it is my friends or my family. A mother can be forceful sometimes in the hope of doing some good for you. In that way, I am quite like that. I can be very generous with love, sometimes too generous until people take advantage of it. Motherly characters fall for pity easily. I never fall for flattery but when it comes to pity or sympathy, I can fall pretty badly. And that ended me up in disastrous situations.

GODDESS-The Goddess can be inspiring to women, embodying wisdom, guidance, physical grace, athletic prowess, and sensuality. Xena the warrior princess falls under this same category. People with this archetype are strong and capable, yet they are able to hold their feminity I have a rebellious leadership quality in me, and I find I inspire a lot of people. And yet people who follow me, like the motherly nature I possess. And if i want to further classify this archetype, i fall under the category of Mother. Even though, i can be pretty strong and capable there is a soft side in me. And most mommies are xena the warrior princesses, they certainly have some authority on us, 

HEALER-The Healer archetype manifests as a passion to serve others in the form of repairing the body, mind, and spirit. Some people, by their very nature and personality, are able to inspire others to release their painful histories or make changes in their lives that redirect the course of their future. Essential characteristics include an inherent strength and the ability to assist people in transforming their pain into a healing process, as well as having the “wiring” required to channel the energy needed to generate physical or emotional changes. All my life, i have tried helping many types of people. And sometimes, i try to change their negativity to positivity, I believe everyone can be helped and I find myself dedicating myself to this role. Sometimes, when frustration sinks in I can resort to force just in a hope to free a person from his inner demons. It works with some. But sometimes, you can only help those who wants to help themselves. The earlier archetypes of goddess and mother may have led to this thirst to help people and in turn created the archetype of HEALER in me.  

TEACHER-Teaching is the art of communicating knowledge, experience, skill, and wisdom to another. Teaching, or offering instruction of any kind, can manifest through parental guidance, business apprenticeship, or by inspired instruction in ethics or kindness. To determine whether this archetype is part of your support team, ask yourself if others look to you as a teacher in any situation. Are you the one that others seek out for the richness of your experience, or to teach them the ropes? Sometimes, i learn so much that i teach others what i learn. More of sharing of knowledge. And i find people, who come to me and ask me to share my experience or show them a new viewpoint. And i make an extra effort in letting them see I used to do a lot of this under CIMS society. I have often seen myself educating people from my experiences. And my students can be from various age groups and I guess to be a good teacher, you must always consider yourself a student who believes that the path of learning never ends. This archetype could have been created from healer, where I always found the need to help people and  I thought of helping others reveal their problems by sharing my experiences and teaching them how I dealt with it.  

PIONEER-The Pioneer is called to discover and explore new lands, whether that territory is external or internal .Even initiating new fashions, art, music, or literature may qualify as expressions of this archetype. The core ingredient is innovation–doing and creating what has not been done before I see myself in this, sometimes i break free and search or innovate. Whether it is a topic that is said to have been explored, i go in and see if there it can be innovated or find a new way in seeing something. I have been doing this all my life. Sometimes, i end up with perspectives that weren’t there or never thought of. Or to be more accurate, afraid to have been voiced out. It doesn’t always refer to worldly topics, sometimes it can be even exploring yourself or exploring past issues to see new things. The pioneer is not very connected to the above archetypes, maybe a little to Goddess.    

ADDICT- This does not refer to somone who is addicted to drinks or cigarettes. Someone with an obsessive nature who gets addicted to a subject and the negative impact is when this person neglects relationships, family to pursue this sudden new interest. I guess this some close to my obsessive nature. There are times, when i am absorbed in a certain topic and people cannot find me when they need me. There was once i was obsessed with a guy. I was so deep into analyzing him, that neglected really important things. This addiction usually could happen when I am obsessed in exploring a new territory. So, it is all linked together and how one archetype can affect another archetype in you.    

LIBERATOR+REBEL+ADVOCATE-I am all three. Let be write description for each three

ADVOCATE-The Advocate embodies a sense of life-long devotion to championing the rights of others in the public arena. People who relate to this archetype have recognized early on a passion to transform social concerns, specifically in behalf of others 

LIBERATOR-helping to liberate us from the tyranny of self-inflicted negative thought patterns and beliefs, spiritual sluggishness, poor nutrition, destructive relationships, or addictive behavior. This archetype can be an invaluable ally in helping to free us from old, entrenched beliefs and attitudes

REBEL-Rebel in a support group can be a powerful aid in helping the group break out of old tribal patterns I am a advocate in especially fighting for rights. Whether its about the people from Africa or a poor guy in need of a seat in a bus. I often find myself lending my voice to people whom I think their rights have been trampled on. People often ask me, why do I bother when others don’t. And they feel I cause myself unnecessary worry. And I am usually not afraid to voice myself out.This in turn, makes me a liberator. Everyone ends up under a tyrant in some part of his or her life. Or being under the tyranny of cultural beliefs that can be quite cruel. And that’s what I do, I fight with my people to free them from the darkness of superstious beliefs. And I remember, my uncle sending this religious guy from kerala, in the hope to brainwash me. And I sat down patiently with him, telling him my viewpoints and evidences to prove to him why I do not believe some cultural stupidity created by old ancestors. A nice example is not being allowed to cut nails when you are menstruating. Therefore, I became a rebel in the eyes of tyrannical people. I search for evidences to open people’s eyes and change their thoughts permanently. Therefore, in this way I become a rebel. 

When  I have dissected myself, I realize there is a pattern to how my character might have been formed. Even though, the archetypes might seem bizarre when compared to one another, when you analyze them you realize how one archetype could have created another archetype in you.  This is the same with creating stories for your books or stories. You can throw a few archetypes, but they should have some form of link. If you see my character, I am a mother, rebel, child, goddess, healer and teacher. And I arranged it in such a way to see how I ended up being me.I know this had been long. It is a fun activity,

 I suggest all of you people try it . So those who are up to the challenge, leave me a comment. And I would send you a file of different archetypes..
