Art and History Appreciation.

Last week, I painted the doors of my dresser. It was a huge mistake, I thought. Because I was shocked by the horror of the ghastly sight. Okay, so I was over reacting.

But when my cousin saw it, she was like.. “you can paint!” and I was like “hahaha! Really? Weh.” She was being sarcastic. I should now. Boredom can be stressful so I released my energy by playing with my paints and brushes.. There you go.

My tita also commented on my painting.. she told me that it was like a pre-school’s board. If only you can take a glance on it, you’ll figure what she’s talking about. I painted a leopard print, rainbow, strawberry, stargazer, clouds, lightning, peace, heart blaaaaah and on top of those thingy, lies my favorite phrases, lyrics etc. Its really random and surely, It is me. Honestly? I don’t know how to draw. I can draw matchstick men and stars perfectly. Haha. I pity myself cos ive been wanting to mold my hands and do something artsistic. And for 21 years.. I gained nothing. It can be very frustrating. I can’t even draw an eye. But atleast, Ive tried (so hard). But yeah, Maybe im not born with it. And destined to do something better.. I am born with 2 great hands to care.

My Tita told me to put some blah on my cousin’s cabinet too. Haha. Let’s give it a try. Geez.

I admire people who can paint. I admire their subtle mind. Their imagination. Their delicately and understated meanings. I envy them. I was in awe when I first saw Juan Luna’s Spoliarium. I was in Gradeschool then. I cannot remember most of the paintings there. How dare me to forget something as meaningful as Juan Luna’s work?

Human rights was violated by the Spaniards. We were the victim in our own country. Juan Luna's painting enlighten the minds of the Filipinos out of oppression.
Amorsolo's most widely reproduced painting is the making of the Phil. flag. :) Who wants a revolution? This flag signifies that we are living in a free country. Free from the epoch of hardships and sufferings. Thanks to the people who saved us and fought for our beloved nation. Herooooes. Patriotism, yaaay!

My love for History is always flaunted. Im a history geek. I dunno what’s with the boring subject. My classmates yawned for God knows how many times. I love itt! I missed History in higschool. I love to learn. History is something I look forward to everyday (highschool years, ha!) cos obviously, its my favorite subject (asian and world studies!). Ditch math. Oh man, Id love to be expose to different cultures..

Then, I realized that what I wanted to do right now is connected with what I learned. TRAVEL.

Bring me everywhere.
