What I believe about Art~

Art is form of conveying any type of emotion or feeling into a form of painting, sculpture or action. Art is the form of expressing one’s self into many forms; to indicate or show an audience what they really want people to know about them. They convey these feelings into broad and abstract actions, usually through painting and sculptures. To me I think that art means to express one’s self through weird actions of painting or sculpting.

                I think that art is a really strange and beautiful thing; this is because most artists convey their emotions or way of thinking into these weird pictures and sculptures…sometimes into things that I really have no clue about. I believe that art is found almost everywhere, this includes graffiti. Most people do not believe that graffiti is a form of art; most believe that it is only a form of vandalism; this is not true, art means to express your own feelings, it does exactly tell someone where they can convey these feelings.

                I think I have an artistic side to me, I can draw fairly well and I can somewhat express my feelings in a form of drawing and sculpting. I think of art as a form of release or form of comfort where we can leave our own minds and express what we really feel on a background or in sculpting… I sound really cheesy right now…I just realized that I talk like a girl… Though I sound cheesy and stuff, this I what I believe about art and I think that I will always stick with what I believe in.

                This is what I believe about art…I really cannot be creative with art because this is a really broad topic to talk about. Art is preformed in many ways and I really cannot explain all those forms into my blog and stuff…

What I believe about the Meaning of life~

Living life to the fullest, spending time with friends and family, raising children, getting jobs and experiencing all types of emotions is what we call life. Life is somewhat cruel at some points but most of the time it’s the happiest. When the question “What do you believe about the meaning of life?” pops out my answer to it is to live happily even in this cruel society. I believe that being happy and staying strong to live and prosper is the meaning to life (In a metaphoric way though.) I say this because life technically means: (www.dictionary.com)

-          .The condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objectsand dead organisms, being manifested by growth throughmetabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.

-          The sum of the distinguishing phenomena of organisms, especiallymetabolism, growth, reproduction, and adaptation to environment.

-          The animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual

-          A corresponding state, existence, or principle of existence conceived of as belonging to the soul: eternal life.

-          The general or universal condition of human existence

Life actually has a lot to do about animals and the principles of having a functioning body; which is what it actually means but to me it does not. The meaning of life in my opinion is in a much more metaphorical term where the meaning is to live in this world to the fullest and happiest. I feel like I am a really really really optimistic person and I look at the happy side of the world instead of the bad. By doing so I create somewhat of a barrier that actually makes life for me bearable… You may ask what does a 16 year old know about having any hardships. Well believe me age does not start the time of hardships…Hardships can come at any age, some less as extreme when you grow older. I have a few hardships; trying to do hard in school so I can go to a good college, later getting into medical school and becoming a surgeon, having to please my parents, trying not to stress about school, getting a good score in the SAT, not making anyone mad….Wow, I actually have a lot and that is something not pleasing to my eyes.

This is what I believe about the meaning of life; I believe that it is to be who you want to be and live it to the fullest… It seems all my prompts for the past two months have been really really hard to explain but it was fun to write about it... though I can become random at some points…..ahahah, well that’s all folks…Than you for reading.

What I believe about Justice~

Have you ever read a story where a bad guy either takes over the world or robs a major business or banking industry? Have you ever read about how a(n) mysterious hero who donates to charity and helps out the poor pops out of nowhere and defeats the bad guy later bringing peace and justice to all of man-kind? Justice is something that most people define as when something or someone that has done wrong is either corrected or punished. By most people I include myself because that is what I believe about justice too; but I usually use it in context for superheroes and homicide detectives.

I believe that justice is the only thing that we hold after either being sullied, dirtied or killed; this reason is because after all these things, we usually hold HUGE grudges or fear for everything that had been done to us and we want to correct it. People are very very vengeful, they want to do what they believe is right and get  justice for what had happened…This is why they made jails and most importantly the death penalty. I am not saying that this is bad, it’s just that most of the time justice is implicated towards some people that didn’t even do wrong; I believe in the death penalty but in a much more lenient way of thinking.

I believe that justice is more defined when relating to superheroes and stuff like that because they face crime and problems almost every day of their lives. Superheroes are more likely to encounter dangers and wrong doings, which they believe that it is their responsibility to do what is right… Guess how it all started though? Most of the superheroes that were brought up either chose this life of saving lives out of revenge or they had a really sad childhood…Name one of the superheroes that did not have a sad childhood or wanted revenge. I also believe that justice is clearly found in most homicide detectives because they actually do something for the real world; they figure out who killed who and technically kill them later (death penalty, if the state allow it.) I put then in the hero category because they actually bring justice to this cruel world…well not as cruel just a world that needs to be improved more.

Justice is really hard to talk about because I still really do not understand it to and extreme point; the only justice I have encountered is when i get my stuff back or read it in the newspaper or something. As you may know I live on an island and there isn’t really much happening here; the only sort of crime we have is theft of money or things but that is it… My views of justice though are none the less different from other people; through the knowledge of books and movies and of course superheroes, I think I grasp the concept of what justice is.

What I believe about Truth~

Truth is defined as: (www.dictionary.com)

-          The quality or state of being true.

                 Truth is a very hard topic to talk about because I myself do not know what truth really is; to me truth means to not lie, to tell what really had happened and what is right. Truth is something that most people do not express of actually do; we as human beings are made to lie for many reasons. One reason we lie is because lying sometimes is better than telling the truth; another reason why we lie is because we want to avoid any possible harm that may come to us if we do tell the truth. Truth is also really hard to obtain from someone; as you may already know a lot of people lie and somehow this is sort of a trend that will never stop…sooo that is why truth is something that is hard to obtain.

I confess that I am not really a truthful person, but I do it for a good reason; usually I lie to people about the way they look and the way they act.  But usually half of those lies are actually true; for example, when someone says that they are ugly I tell them that they are pretty; it’s not a lie because they really are pretty, not particularly on that day but overall they are… ( I am referring to girls here because boys do not care at all about their looks.) Truth is very very hard to explain!!!!

Truth isn't always necessary at times too, having too much truth makes someone seem unlikable because they are way to bold and cannot hold in what they are saying. I believe that being both truthful and a liar is a good thing; someone needs to know when it is the right time to tell the truth and the right time to lie. By  knowing when is the right time I mean it; when something bad happens someone needs to speak up or things may get worse; when something you have heard and you have no right to bring it up you lie!! I sound like a really bad person now because I think that lying is acceptable…but when you think about it, statistically everyone lies and will lie in the future so what can you do about it. I just accept it and not complain about it because if I do them I would either be looked at as a completely retarded person or people will beat me up.

This is what I believe about truth; truth is where you speak up the correct actions that have occurred or do not lie but I do not believe that this should always be used. Lies are a part of life and sometimes they make people happy (when they never find out about it) and sometimes these lies later turn out to be true in the future… I think that truth should be the top priority for most people but lies should also be considered…what do I know, I’m a 16 year old girl that lives on an island…You really do not have to take my blog seriously because I said this and that. This is just my belief in truth. Truth is not always something that is good; nothing on this entire earth is completely good…Maybe food…or water…but like I said nothing is completely good. Truth is always something that most people want to here but do they need to hear it, do they really want to know what we think and what others think about a given topic… In my opinion I definitely would not.

How do I connect with others?~

Is it easy to connect with other people of is it really hard? To me I think that it is in between, it’s not too easy and it’s not too hard; you just have to find that person that you have in common with. The way I connect with people is always through things that we have in common, from the books we read, the people we know, the food we love and hate, and the things that we enjoy doing. An important aspect to have to really connect with people is to be a good friend and a good listener… When you do that you might one day find your true friends.

I think that I have a hard time to connect with people at some times because sometimes I really can’t relate to some of the things they talk about. I think that the only reason I connect well with people like that I because I am a really good listener. I have no problems at all when listening to people complain about things or explain things… I actually really enjoy listening to them.

Another way that I connect with people is through my wonderful (colorful) way of communicating them. I have a weird way of communicating with people, I use really messed up grammar ( like right now) and talk as loud as I can… Apparently this brings some sort of a happy mood to them…and the fact that I have a really bad sense of humor.

At time when I can relate with what they say that is when I can really connect with people. Another thing is when I find a person that is almost exactly like me.. (MY SOPHIA)… This prompt is really hard to explain because I really have no idea how to connect with people… I just do some random stuff and then bam… we are friends!

Look is more important that having ideas. Disagree of Agree?

Succeeding in something takes hard work and great ideas; the way you look has a little part of being successful but overall having the ideas is most important. People may think that looks are all that matter in being successful and I believe that this fact is correct, people these days are much more concentrated on the way that people look like. Though through all of that I believe (my opinion) on this is that people with the better ideas are more likely to have a successful life.

Ideas are what makes society so advanced, without the ideas of people like Steve Jobs, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison there would not be these cool technology today.  Judging people by the way they look is not really the most logical way into finding people to do a good job; I mean having nicely dressed people will bring a lot of respect to the company or person but what would you rather choose, someone with the ideas or some useless person who can’t do anything but look nice. If there was a combination of the two then that would be the greatest find for a company of some sort.

I really do not know anything about fashion and things like that; as you may already know, I am more interested in things like sports or games or creations of some sorts; I  will dress nicely for important jobs but most of the time I think I will be wearing a uniform (I want to become a surgeon.) This prompt was really not my type of prompt that I would like to talk about but I do know one thing, people with ideas should be respected for what they do… Thank you~

Moving around or staying at one place?~

Managaha (tourist hotspot)

Growing up in a island I have always asked this question; “Is it better to live in one city or town than to move from one place to another?” I believe that it is better to stay at one place then decide whether you want to move around; living on Saipan for 16 years have made me realized that moving all the time would make things too hard. Constantly being the new person in a place that you hardly know, trying to find new friends later leaving them and trying to fit in is too much of a hassle for most people…. Or just for me…

I think that it is better to live in one place because moving around will not help strengthen bonds between friends. Friends are a sort of comfort place that you go to because of overbearing parents or parents that do not listen to you at all. By staying in one location your friendship towards a certain friend strengthens even though you would have never talked to that person ever. In my case that was the exact thing…My dad was to be station somewhere in Alaska for his job and I was really excited about it, he declined the offer and took the offer to stay on Saipan; I wasn’t really happy about his decision because I really wanted to move. I never regretted that day he said no because if we did move, I would have never met the wonderful friends that I have now, my bond between my friends have increased through the years and I do not plan on moving yet.

Another reason why I think that it is better for someone to stay in one place is because you would miss the beauty of the place that you once lived at. I live on an island, a totally different atmosphere than in America where the sky is always a bright blue and the sea is a beautiful deep blue. You would never really get to know your surrounding if you continue to move around a lot… The hassle of packing, moving, unpacking and doing the whole process again sounds pretty tiring to me too.

I think that it is way better to stay at one place than to move around all the time; my opinion on this thing doesn’t have to be your answer, it’s your choice in what is better. You do not need to take this blog seriously is you agree otherwise… Thank You~

Happiness~

Happiness is defined as: (www.dictionary.com)

pleasure, joy, exhilaration, bliss, contentedness, delight,enjoyment, satisfaction. Happiness, bliss, contentment, felicity implyan active or passive state of pleasure or pleasurable satisfaction.Happiness results from the possession or attainment of what oneconsiders good: the happiness of visiting one's family. Bliss is unalloyedhappiness or supreme delight: the bliss of perfect companionship.Contentment is a peaceful kind of happiness in which one restswithout desires, even though every wish may not have been gratified:contentment in one's surroundings. Felicity is a formal word forhappiness of an especially fortunate or intense kind: to wish a youngcouple felicity in life.

To me happiness means to be joyful and excited; where nothing in the entire world could ruin you happy mood.  Happiness is one of those emotions in which everyone can obtain easily; though at some points it can be really hard. Happiness is easily obtainable when you really try; even the littlest of things that have no significance at all can bring you some kind of joy. Happiness can be found with the people you love or enjoy being with; happiness can also be obtained through sayings and sayings. Just the memory behind those things can bring someone’s bad day into a good day.

I am generally a happy person and stay happy even through times that seem unhappy; I someone how block all those bad thoughts and see the brighter side of things, and if that isn’t possible I think of things I enjoy. Being unhappy is a really painful emotion; the sudden strain of the heart and the stress your brain takes is not enjoyable either.  To stay happy I always reminisce in the times where everything was happy, my childhood for example, and silently laugh to myself.

Happiness is something that everyone feels once in a while and it’s a great feeling; happiness can be found in almost everything; the first teddy bear your parents got you, the songs that you and your friends dance to, and even the celebrities that you adore (JAMES AND DAVID FRANCO!!!!!!!!!!) By finding the happy things in life instead of the stressful and saddening ones you can truly find happiness… Thank You!

Beneficial Book~

All my life I have always enjoyed reading books; the excitements that I obtain from them are impossible to explain. I have read over 100 books this year on every genre and ever size (usually 200-500 pages) and I think that this prompt would be really hard to talk about. Out of all the books that I have read in my life I think that “The Good Earth” by Pearl S. Buck has greatly impacted my perspective on things and has benefited me in all kinds of ways.

                I read the book “The Good Earth” my freshman year for my literature class; we were assigned to read it by my teacher and once I had read the book I felt that it had changed my view and perspective on most things. Being a classical book it had impacted my view on other classical books; the book had made me much more interested into reading other classical books. Over the three years since I have read the book I have read Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 45, The Things They Carried, Kite Runner and Native Son. Just because of that one book, it had opened my eyes to a new ‘world’ where adventures of every sort happen in your mind.

                The Good Earth was a really good book and I do recommend to some people that it would change your perspectives on books like these. Not only is this book interesting, it also brings out some of your emotions, mostly anger, which is a plus because books like these are really hard to find. So, if you ever see “The Good Earth” is your local book store try and read it; it may not be the ‘fun’ to read at first but once you get into the book then you will enjoy it.

                I really really really love to read books; I do not know what got me started with the reading but once I started I never stopped. I have read all types of books; thriller, horror, tragedy, romance, adventure, ect. And I can tell you this, I never regretted reading them. I think once I start college I won’t read as much books as I want to but I will still find time for that… Thank You~
