In ♥ with Danbo and Domo

I fell in love with Danbo and Domo recently. I don't think it is too late for me to know them. I was searching for bokeh photos in Google images last year and I found Domo. As for Danbo, Danbo is almost everywhere in the net because Danbo is more famous. Danbo came from the Yotsuba series. I don't know what is the history of Domo-kun and who created it.

Danbo and Domo


Blue Domo chasing Danbo (I guess)

They make friend.

They are very photogenic aren't they? Aww...

Danbo

Crystal Domo. I love this one.

I remembered as a small girl I loved to play tiny dolls like Hello Kitty, crystal animal keychains and many types of doll keycains. I didn't play Barbie dolls because they were too expensive. I got the tiny dolls from vending machines. I was quite a weird, very imaginative and creative girl. I gathered them as a family, gave names to them and even built a house and furniture for them.

I think Danbo and Domo make good models for photography. I am thinking of getting their dolls next time and photograph them for my own gallery ( not going to make them siblings nor enemy nor building house for them!).

Just an Ordinary Bidayuh Girl

Why am I just an ordinary Bidayuh girl?

I was born to a typical and ordinary Bidayuh family.

I eat rice, fern leaves and tapioca leaves like any other Bidayuhs.

I go to ordinary conventional school. My high school was just ordinary and infamous.

I was an ordinary student in my school with good achievements (not excellent). I would not become popular if my mum is not the teacher of the school.

I speak Bidayuh language to Bidayuhs.

English is my third language.

I am not a rich girl, neither my family is rich.

I am studying in an ordinary local university. I am an average student.

I am doing bachelor's degree like anybody else do.

I celebrate Gawai and dance like other Bidayuh.

I never travel overseas.

I do not have Blackberry nor iPhone.

I do not wear branded clothings like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Elle, Burberry, Forever 21 and many more, you name it. I wish to, one day.

I do not always get what I want. If I get it, it is because my efforts worth it.

I am not an actress, I am not a star, and I do not even have my own car. But I'm hoping so much that you will love me anyway.

What is Bidayuh?

Go, do your homework! (if you are really a Malaysian, you must know!)

My Personality Type: The Dreamy Idealist

Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and clear, honourable principles for which they are willing to sacrifice a great deal. Joan of Arc or Sir Galahad would have been good examples of this personality type. Dreamy Idealists are always at great pains to improve the world. They can be very considerate towards others and do a lot to support them and stand up for them. They are interested in their fellow beings, attentive and generous towards them. Once their enthusiasm for an issue or person is aroused, they can become tireless fighters.

For Dreamy Idealists, practical things are not really so important. They only busy themselves with mundane everyday demands when absolutely necessary. They tend to live according to the motto “the genius controls the chaos” - which is normally the case so that they often have a very successful academic career. They are less interested in details; they prefer to look at something as a whole. This means that they still have a good overview even when things start to become hectic. However, as a result, it can occasionally happen that Dreamy Idealists overlook something important. As they are very peace-loving, they tend not to openly show their dissatisfaction or annoyance but to bottle it up. Assertiveness is not one of their strong points; they hate conflicts and competition. Dreamy Idealists prefer to motivate others with their amicable and enthusiastic nature. Whoever has them as superior will never have to complain about not being given enough praise.

As a Dreamy Idealist I am one of the introverted personality types. Therefore I prefer a quiet work environment where I can intensively deal with my responsibilities and are not disturbed by too many people and repeated distractions. I need a lot of time to dwell on my thoughts, to put them into words, and let my ideas take shape.

I am grateful for a certain measure of order and structure because they secure the time to achieve this so I can deal with one task after the other and not have to juggle a number of responsibilities at once - I don’t like that because it is important to me to deal with things thoroughly. My capability to concentrate is unusually great and very often I become engrossed in something and forget everything around me - even to eat and drink.

Nevertheless, because I am very adaptable, congenial and interested in harmony and cooperation, I enjoy working together with others. A neighborhood that requires the ability to assert myself and where direct confrontations are the order of the day is not my optimal environment. In order to permit me to fully develop my ability I need an environment that is as stress free as possible. If I can’t get that I soon suffer, because I take critique and negative feedback very personally.

I enjoy the opportunity for exchanges with other people I value and whose capabilities I respect but in this case remember the motto: Better less than more; better a few “hand picked” colleagues who truly move on my wavelength. It is best when I share the same high ideals and important objectives and together can fight for the same good cause because then I am truly in my element. If that is not the case, I do better by largely working by myself because I belong to the personality types who can do that very well and don’t necessarily have to depend on others in order to come up with good results.

These special aptitudes predestine me for all working environments where the issue is conceptualizing, problem solving and developing new ideas. I am very creative and well able to go beyond the paradigm and choose original and unusual ways that no one before me even dreamt about. Even in complex situations, and facing difficult tasks, I confidently keep track because I am good at intuitively understanding the entire picture and extrapolating improved opportunities and development potential. My sense for detail and the practical is less developed which occasionally leads to somehow chaotic operating methods and pretty lax contact with what I see as “bean counting.”
