Data Analying Robot Youth Life-form
I'm Daryl, an artist by heart and a dreamer of sorts. I am also just a simple guy, currently trying to find my niche in this big world, and trying to discover more of myself - not really an easy feat for people my age. In any case, I was encouraged to write by a certain special someone so here I am, trying to weave words and touch hearts though I'm not really adept at it. For starters, I want you guys to have an idea of who i am, so here goes..
I was named after a film made in the 80's about a young boy who had exceptional intelligence and skill for his age. Turns out, the kid was actually an android that had learned to live and develop emotions like a regular person. Now, my parents wanted me to grow up to be that amazing so that's how i got the name. Unfortunately, I am FAR from being so: i just happened to turn out to be just amazingly blessed with everything in my life. I do love knowledge, though, and i love learning, so i guess that's still a consolation, for all it's worth.
I am a Christian. I am a worshiper. I've always believed in God and I have an awesome, still-growing relationship with my maker. I live to sing Him praises and to give glory to His name at all moments of my life. And no, I AM NOT PERFECT; but I am trying my best to live under His light and provide love to everyone that needs it. I believe that Jesus, my Savior, has redeemed me from sin and that no matter how much i slip and fall, I will always be okay. He is my strength and my refuge, my shelter from the storm. He is my best friend, and my comforter when I am low. I have let Him down time and again, but He has never failed me. My God is my life, my air and my everything. I live my life for Him.
I am and always will be an artist. Drawing will always be one of my first loves and music is something i can never live without. I appreciate skin art and am a henna tattoo artist. I also play instruments and sing whenever I can. I say whenever because I can sing anywhere and not be shy about it. I do drums and guitar, but not as well as I would like to. Anime has always been part of my life, and it's my primary art form. This and many other things have drawn me to the awesomeness of Japanese culture. In many ways, my work is highly influenced by emotion and thus, can be in the mood or out of it just because. I admire people who have great graphic talent as I am very visual in nature; I also prefer movies that impress my eyes and emotion more than it does my intellect. All in all, Art will always be one of my defining points.
I love my family and they are the most important people in my life. I enjoy a very rare closeness with both my parents and I believe that their experience and wisdom is something that I will always trust and learn from. My dad looks almost exactly like me (i've been told time and again) and my mom is simply the most beatiful lady alive until i meet my girl. I am blessed to have God-fearing and amazing and down-to-earth and loving parents. They are one of my pillars and inspirations in this complicated world. My siblings are amazing. Being the eldest, I have a brother next to me and he is an artist as well, a better one than me for that matter. Next to us is a sister that beats the crap out of the way celebrities look and is one of the coolest out there. Last is my kid brother, whose "kulit" knows no bounds and is sweet without reserve. All of us fight, make noise and go crazy..just like that. I will always remain grateful and indebted to my family. Most of what I am now is because of them, and I am never ashamed to let the world know that I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
Since I was a kid, I have always held a special facination for nature and wildlife. I would browse encyclopedias and books and TV stations just looking for any new facts I could learn about them. Although I am not a field person in any way, the beauty of life and nature have always amazed me and has never failed to entrap my senses. From the majestic birds of prey to the fierce big cats to the swarming bugs to the creepy fishes of the depths, all of these arouse my curiosity like no other. I can sit through hours watching documentaries without even noticing time pass by. I would even like to be a wildlife advocate at some point in my life, and this is no joke. Given the chance, i would like to support the foundations that support the national bird of my country, the ever noble Philippine Eagle. It's a treasure I know is worth protecting, and I would do so without a moment's hesitation. I just love animals, and learning about them is something that I can't do without.
I'm a textbook dreamer, and I have I never stop visualizing how I will be in the future. The path may not be so clear right now, but I continue on imagining aspects of my life and how I would like them to be, and I know for a fact that God has set these things upon my heart. I do pray, though, that if at any point my plans do not align to His, that He leads me and molds my life the way that His perfect plan dictates.
I would define myself as an encourager and an appreciator, and I want people to be happy and appreciated for who they are and what they have - maybe because I want to feel the same way, too. I avoid judging others and put as much effort as I can in doing so. I hate gossip and will stop rumors from spreading if ever it reaches me. I will never solicit personal or sensitive information about a person I'm not even connected to. I believe gossiping is unfair to the ones concerned and are worthless and destructive. In a way, though, I somehow have a crowd pleaser type personality since I have a sanguine-type temperament. I am doing my best to moderate this though, as I believe trying to please others is not a healthy way of living. You can never please everybody. I love the spotlight and I would never shy away from attention - this is simply the way I am programmed. I dislike socializing and pleasantries, but I have learned to be good at these since there are times that they are needed. I choose my friends and I do so wisely - surrounding myself with people that complement me. I believe that I should reach out more, however, and that I should learn to establish connections with important people and invest in relationships that would help me and those around me become better. I dislike parties very much, but I could tolerate going to one to help out a friend. I prefer simple dinners and quiet celebrations with select important people.
With all these being said, here are some basic/crazy facts about me:
