About Her🙈

Born in Indonesia on December 13 and had grown into a typical simple kind of woman, with the name of Selma Giolinna Palmara Dirani. Name is given as a symbol of wishes and hopes from every parent. I was named after a character of a TV Series called “Time Trek” back in the 90s. Selma was a character in form of computer software. She was known with her intelligence, beauty and kindness, so that’s how my parents pray for me to be. My family consists of four members. I have a father who flies as a pilot, full time mother who cooks and teaches me simple yet delicious meals, and one older brother. I have the kind of face, which considers as a mixed of Sundanese, Javanese, Chinese and Dutch. What do you call a girl who has that kind of face? I have big round brown eyes, dark-fair skin and hair, and chubby cheeks, which I am still learning to accept its hugeness. 

But hey, I discovered that women with chubby cheeks are adorable, baby face, lovable and look younger their age, hahaha. I have men’s laugh which I am not proud of, due to my weakness of jokes I laugh just about everything. People easily made me laugh yet also easily insulted my laugh, hahaha. Never once I heard someone said to me, “I love your laugh”

Live with the experience of different culture, language, and environment. My life is full of adaptation, but moving around taught me to be tougher and confidence. Five years living in America showed me different perspective of culture, I made friends who came from different homeland. Therefore I grew to be open-minded person and never believe in drama. Two years after I moved to Indonesia, I was thrilled to stay in one place until I graduated High school. Now I have completed my college diploma of English Literature with a cumlaude and GPA of 3.80 yay!!

Most girl would prefer hang out and have a date with the hottest guy, but I have never been interested with only having a drink, talking and spending time selfie-ing. I love spending time with children, I feel secure because they express their thoughts honestly. I feel loved and needed around children, because they laugh and smile easily with just my presence. I love zoo, garden and the time I spent looking at its animals and flowers. The zoo and garden are the perfect place to have daydream with the wind blew to my face till I can’t feel my hair on my neck. Love the color of yellow with mixture of orange that created the view of sunset. I have always enjoyed movies that I would spend my twenty-four hours on. Despite my interest in movie, I don’t like being in Movie Theater. I dislike darkness therefore I prefer watching movie with my sofa and pillow! I crave for Asian food especially Indonesian, I have the height of *peep* and weigh *peep*, I would consider myself a liar to not have any concern about my weight. But trust me when I said I am a middle school proportional regardless my real age, hahaha. As a woman I have less interest in make up, I think is because I am too simple kind of person. Scratch that and to be honest, I do not know how to put on make up properly. My daily routine I live for a simple lip tint and pink blush on. Auguste Escoffier once said, “the greatest dishes are very simple.” Which I came to understand that, simply being simple is beautiful.

As to close this lovely quick self-introduction, I ask for readers’ wish of luck. Who knows there might be possibility that I can accomplish my dream? I dream to set a foot on the deepest and untouched land of my country Indonesia. To see the innocent children and taught them the outside world, and show how much of opportunity they have. I want to feel the breezy wind and the coldness of sea wave, while I teach the children. To see many plants and rare animals away from the city, crowd and heat.

That is the Selma with her dream.
