Passion for Paintings

I love art. I really appreciate it and wish I had artistic talent. My siblings have it and I am sad to say I'm the only one who didn't inherit any.  Such shame. Huhu

But I do love admiring art. I don't know extensively about painters and stuff, but I try to by looking at books and surfing the net. Below are some of my favorite artwork :D

1. Young Flautist by Edouard Manet

 It's such an iconic painting. Ang tanong lang: Ano ang nilalaro ng bata? We may never know.

2. Cafe Terrace by Vincent Van Gogh

I love Van Gogh's paintings(and his name because it reminds me of this guy). Cafe Terrace is definitely one of my faves. It makes you wish you were just there in the painting, sipping coffee with a special guy. ;)

3. Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer by Gustav Klimt

This is probably my all time favorite painting. Not only is it sparkly(Spaaaaarklyyyyy @__@), but it looks so luxe, so rich. I love the contrast between the classically beautiful woman and the art deco inspired motif. 


4. Pencil Study of Dance in the Country by Auguste Renoir


Okay. I like the painting but I like this pencil study better. It somehow looks very romantic because of it's simplicity and lack of colors.

5. Portrait of Auguste Renoir by Frédéric Bazille

What I like here is that this looks as if it was painted by Van Gogh. And it also kinda looks like an old fashioned stolen shot este painting since Auguste's pose here doesn't look contrived(heck, I don't think he knew he was being painted by Frédéric!) and his eyes aren't staring into your soul.

Kristen Kerida

If you are a stupid hopeless romantic who lives under a rock totally unaware of gossip and such, you'd find this cute.

But if you know media all too well, then you'd recognize that woman is one half of a very powerful Hollywood couple.

Yes, folks. Kristen Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson. I never thought I would say this, but I feel bad for the bloke.

This is the guy she had a fling with whilst being with Rob, Snow White and the Hunstman director Rupert Sanders.

...Who happens to be married to hip actress, Liberty Ross(who had a small role playing Snow White's--played by KRISTEN--mom in the film).

This scandal is HUGE; until now people are still talking about it. What I liked, though, was Kristen and Robert Rupert both apologized for what they have done. I hope for the best for them and their loved ones! :D

Cheers to Love

Cheers to the fact that I am in denial about still liking you

Cheers to the sleepless nights I get just thinking about you

Cheers to the times I’ve done things for you but you never even seem to care

Cheers to the disappointment I feel whenever your big brown eyes ignore me when I’m around

Cheers to that shitty feeling I get knowing you’ll never like me as much as you like her

Cheers to the tears I shed because of these

Seriously. Cheers to fucking love

What The...?

How could a girl go from this...

To this?

 Her name is Courtney Stodden. What makes this girl a bit worthy for me to write about is that this girl is only 17 YEARS OLD. Yes. She is 17 and trotting around like a porn star. I know Taylor Momsen gets backlash for dressing similarly, but at least I love her and she isn't a baby bride.

"Seriously. What's the big deal about how I dress anyway?"

 If the evolution of her looks wasn't shocking enough, she is actually married to a guy 34 YEARS her senior. Gah. These pictures speak for themselves.

 Apparently, her parents gave their consent when she got married at 16. If that is not quetionable enough then I don't know what is. Call me crazy, but if her parents allow it and if it was abide the law, well, good for this chick to get married at 16.

 But still, it is kinda weird to be a parent and see your kid make out like this let alone if she's still a teenager.

 Great. More reasons to question the kids of my generation. :P

School Sucks But Crushes Crush More

Sorry for the lack of updates. School is obviously making me more busy than summer ever did to me. But forgive me if my first post in weeks will sound like a whiny one.

Okay, so I hate it. I hate my classmates and I question the ones I consider my friends there. Academically, I'm doing okay but I could do better. 18/35 in a quiz is technically a fail for me. I remember during my first day of school, I had so much homework to do that I had to sleep at 1 AM that night. Also, there goes being the smartest in class last year: I'm classmates with other honor roll students so the competition is tough if I want to be ahead of them this year.

I still get bullied and I hate it that people don't take me seriously in class. It's like, when I try to talk to them decently, they say silly and annoying things or maybe they just nod like they get it when I can tell every word I tell them just escapes their ears. Ugh.

I also hate it that I am not technically batch mates let alone classmates with my friends. I can tell they feel a bit bummed about my move to another batch. I try to hang out with them as much as I can, but I somehow feel the distance already.

But what I hate the most is that I am classmates with the one guy I am trying to forget.

I had a huge crush on this guy for so long so imagine how heartbreaking it was when I had to stop liking him since I hate that he never knew how I felt and he also liked another girl. I think I've spoken about him here a few times. I tried to get over him over the summer and I succeeded....or so I thought when I first saw him in school this school year.

At first, I was a bit nervous that he would be my classmate and he actually was. Then I thought, for old time's sake, I will try to get to know this guy since I've always wanted to know what was beneath those good looks and quite demeanor. Not that I like him; I've heard too much negatives about him and I just want to know if what they say is true. He seemed like a nice guy to be friends with compared to the rowdy bullies in my class.

And he actually is. We don't talk as much as he talks to his friends more, but every exchange I had with him was relevant. I swoon over his manners. I secretly feel kilig when his name gets called in class. I look at him a lot and just like observing him(creepy, I know). I like that I managed to make him laugh or smile a few times since he looks so serious all the time. I love it when he says "Hi Gillian". My neck hairs stand when I see him look at me out of the blue.

It seems like bullies and nerds are not just the problems I expected to deal with before I entered school. It looks like my heart will be a part of them........and I don't want it to again.

Triple Movie Review! :D

I watched quite some movies over this summer and I feel like reviewing some of them. :D

1. The Runaways 

 I have always wanted to watch this movie since I've always like The Runaways' song "Cherry Bomb". Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett while Dakota Fanning plays Cherie Curie in the film. If you ask me what rating I'd give this film, I'll definitely say a 9/10. This movie met my expectations of being far from cutesy and girly by being dark and angsty.

My favorite scene? Definitely when Joan reinvents a plain white shirt by spray painting "Sex Pistols", distressing and adding safety pins to it! I love Joan's wardrobe in the film in general.

 2. Prom

 Unlike The Runaways, this is a film anyone could watch. Prom is a movie featuring stories of teens having dilemmas before their big night. Will they ever have the night of their dreams? If you have some time to catch a teen movie with an easy and predictable plot, then Prom will be your best match.

I may not be entirely sold on this movie, but I do find Nolan Sotillo's charatcer cute(and Nolan himself. lol)

3. Burlesque

This movie has received mixed reviews when it came out, but I happen to like this film! It's entertaining with the amazing musical numbers and costumes. The plot is not too bad and Christina Aguillera definitely got the pipes that rival anyone.

 Ooooh, and Cam Gigandet stars in this, too! Total eye candy! Haha!

Will You Kiss Me, Will?

I know this happened last month pa, but I can't help but state my opinion on this.

 Last month, Will Smith attended the premiere to his latest movie, "Men in Black 3" in Russia. He stopped to do an interview for a reporter when suddenly, that reporter kisses him making Will slap him on the face and walk away angry.

Of course, most people were on Will's side. I mean, if a dude suddenly kisses you, who wouldn't freak, right?

But Will is in frickin Russia. It's customary to greet someone with a kiss there, even if it's a guy to a guy. I think Will was wrong. He's in another country and should've practiced their etiquette before going there.

You can choose not to greet a person with a kiss, though, but at least say so politely instead of doing something rude and calling that person crazy(Will did this). It's a blow to anyone's ego, really.

The journalist apologized but I don't hear reports of Will ever saying sorry for slapping that poor guy. Am I the only one in the world who thinks Will should've said sorry to this Russian dude? Seriously?

Too Cool For School(mates)

School time is finally here! A groan/sigh of relief for me, really.

I love school. I may have a love/hate relationship with studying but I value school too much. But one thing is clear on what I hate about school: the people.

Yes. I hate them all. (Well, not really since I have a handful of friends naman)

Okay. I know I'm being too harsh but I always have a reason. A lot of people seem to hate me in school. I get made fun of, called names at, get harassed and the like there.(no physical abuse, though. Not that I recall of...yet).

I can't help but feel a bit nervous when I go back to school. I dealt with these people for one whole year and while I survived, I will always remember how I suffered emotional breakdowns at home since I couldn't take it anymore. The thought of wanting to be back in my old school was stamped in my head daily. Seriously, that's how bad things got in my current school.

A guidance counselor advised me that I shouldn't let these people get into my head. There will always be those people who'll bring you down when they know you are getting way ahead. I don't know why people like to spend their time bringing people down; they could just concentrate on being the best themselves, you know.

Also, he said I shouldn't move out of my current school because of these people. I achieved so much already. No matter how much I never thought of it, I still stayed strong and concentrated on my priorities than mind the treatment people gave me in school.

My friends also tell me that I should just think about who these people who tease me are. Most--if not all--are basically students with failing grades. Students who are malandi. Students who like to cut classes. Students who don't really have huge goals. Basically, students who will never, ever get out of this town.

So...in some sort of way, even if these people messed around with me, I still have the last laugh on them. They can say anything they want, but what do they have to bring to the table against ME? Doing drugs? Have 50 boyfriends? Repeated a grade level? Shame. Such a shame.

To all my haters in school, I salute you with my middle finger whilst greeting "Fuck You" to all of you.

As I type this sentence, the nervousness I felt about going back to school is suddenly turned into confidence and vengeance. Hahaha ;D
