WannaBe Artists!

It kind of irritates me when people call themselves...

Artists.

And yet here I am wanting to be one, hardy har har.

No, seriously. I think it's kind of vain to call yourself an Artist unless you're well
known/make money solely from your artwork, or at least a majority of it... and live
well off from it.

You can call yourself an "Aspiring Artist" or a "Starving Artist" or anything of the like,
but not an Artist. That's just conceited to me.

Hell you can just call yourself someone that appreciates art and does some
him/herself.

But I guess I don't really have much of a choice except to just ignore your
self-proclamation of being an Artist here while you blab on about how great you are
and that you're the best thing in this generation, and yet your work does not wow me
when you still live with your mom with no job, no car, and no real life or love.

Hey, that's just how I look at the title, "Artist."

Hm.. I kind've sound like an asshole re-reading this.. Yes I think that anything is
beautiful and that there is art in everything, that the slighted scribble or speck of dirt
you glue on a board can be art. But people that proclaim to be Artists that are the
ones that just doodles a little scribble or the ones that glue that small speck of dirt on
a board or don't have much credibility... is just annoying.

It annoyed me when someone close to me told me how easy art is, that all you have to
do is make up some bullshit explanation of what you created, like throwing a bunch of
your own excrement, unpaid bills, some clothes, leaves, a dead raccoon, hair, blend it
all together and name it, "Life is Shit."

Yes, the unpaid bills (responsibility), the clothes you wear (necessity), the leaves
(nature) around you, the dead raccoon (death), your hair (what is a part of you)
represents your life, and your own excrement is the literal term of SHIT, and just how
SHITTY your god damn life is.

Art like that makes me sick. The fact that he suggested that art was simple and bullshit
makes me sick to this freakin' day.

Let me try to explain myself more.. hmm..

It bugs me how some people claim to be an Artist, and have SO much confidence
(Don't get me wrong, it's great to be confident in what you do, but.. to a point...) that
it is very egotistical and their work does not match what they claim to be. There is no
originality, and there is no emotion. I just see you, with markers, a paint brush, a
spiffy new sketch pad, and that is all I see. No passion, and it seems like you took up
this title to seem "cool," to impress or to have the satisfaction of actually having a title.

Because art is just so easy to make, right? Anyone can be an Artist. -__-

I don't like photographers that claim to be amazing, talented Photographers when they
Photoshop their art to pieces and just murder the natural beauty of what is real either.

Sure, sometimes Photoshop does some crazy things and it's really wonderful, but doing
that to ALL your photos? And yet still claiming to be a Photographer? (I'm not including
the photographers that do this for magazines and ads, photoshop is needed for that.)

Ahh, I duno... I don't think I'm explaining myself correctly here...

Look, about the photography thing... Being a Photographer is different from being
the guy behind the computer that airbrushes your face to be flawless and making the
leaves a brighter, richer green or making that little dog from the Cesar Dog Food
commercial look like a tiny cloud with little legs and dark eyes. A Photographer
captures the pure beauty of what Mother Nature created, or what Man made, or God,
or Gods, Goddesses, however you see it... They capture the pure beauty of that and
shows to their audience how they see it in their eyes... Without adjusting how it was
already made and meant to look like, through their perspective.

But all you teenagers with HUGE egos and deep down confusion of who you really are
and where you belong in life ran to the "easiest" thing to be and just butchered art.




Well, there's my rant. I think I was too mean, but whatever. I needed to say this. :|

Versuaz Online Shop,Forever21,Butterfly Tattoo Shop

What's fun being a human girl? Course it'll be shop,shop,shop which all of us 'girls' love! Whoever ate clothes for breakfast is normal for she truly hearts the art of fashion! (not literally) That's what made us totally different from other creatures existing in this damn whole wide world! For fashion is in our bloodstream and we can't avoid it! So what's the easiest way to be 'in' to the latest trends? Course it'll be by reading the latest edition of magazine, watching fashion t.v, browsing the internet and or by seeing and hearing it to your fashion-conscious-buff-friend! But we don't need to be that conscious in styling and dressing ourselves. We just have to be 'us'! Confidence is the key to this lock lol is the key for being fashionable. Whatever clothes style, branded or not, updated or outdated it's still in the way how you bring-it-on-and-show-it. Our era now is full of mixed stuffs. There won't be any problem in choosing your wardrobes food, cause people in this era are all scientist! They love to invent,experiment, mix&match, splash different colors in any outfit and more. New styles invented and styles reinvented. And what's a great deal in having all of these stuffs? Course it'll be ordering in an online shop! From the comfort of your own home. Visit anytime,anywhere. No need to go to the mall that will surely tire you! In just a click of your mouse you can browse their stuffs.

Garnier Brigthening Eye Roll-On

As one of the ladies in this chaotic world we girls fancy for a good presentation 'physically' for us to be loved and appreciated not only by men but also for our co-ladies. Who would like to be seen as an ugly-nasty-smelly-eoyw-ey human being while you're outside right? We don't need to please everybody but still we have to be representable not only in our own & others eyes,but also to God's eyes. They say that the eyes is the mirror of the soul .. you can't hide what you're truly feeling. If we have this wrinkled, dark & baggy eyes isn't it annoying? and yucky! So we need to beautify and take care of that flirty eyes ..lol

As to start this 'vain' blog lol there are so many remedies..natural and modern products. The very basic and natural things are the ones that we always see in our kitchen/ fridge. Cold cucumber, Slice it and put it in your eyes while resting on your mattress. But if you want a snap away solution for that eye bags and dark circles of yours just go to your nearest medical group and they will give you a fast remedy. But there are no free nowadays, and you will pay a thousands and more.. your sac will suffer but if you're rich it will be not a-big-deal for you. I'm anti-prick by the way ;) Do i need to hurt and suffer my pocket just to be beautiful?? nah,i don't think so.

Now I present to you this Garnier Brigthening Eye Roll-On Anti-Bags & Anti-Dark Circles. A must-buy for owl personified people , FaceBook buff (like me!), busy persons who manage online shops(me), and those person who doesn't do anything at all but waste theretime haha and many more. Very Affordable at a reasonable price I got this while i'm shopping (check my previous blog) ;) So here it goes:

Ever Bilena Blush-on

Ever Bilena Blush-on Review

i also tried this one... this is my 1st blush-on actually when i was in high school,
but i'm currently and loving prettywhenpinched of bench x)

Reason why iloveEverBilena-"before"
1.easy to use (just swipe it anytime,anywhere and there will be an instant blush on your pretty face)
2.cheap (very affordable,especially way back then because i am just a high school girl who uses her own money to buy kaartehan!haha)


Reasons why i moved even if Ever Bilena is cheap:
1.doesn't stay longer (yeah i have to retouch and retouch and retouch again and again)
2. i'm having a break out! (yep it's comedogenic! non-hypoallergenic!!)
3, not for my skin type (i think this is for those who have oily skin which i am not)
