And Yet a Dream Found

This is my new baby...

So I've always wanted a flute when I was young... and before a few days I finally got a silver one. It was a present from a charming French Lady and am almost quite sure it's quite an instrument. I hope to master it if just a little. it wasn't easy to play at first but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Takes a lot of practice though.




III don't caree... what matters now's I got a fluuute...
so yeah.... where's C sharp again?? XD

One of the songs I plan to learn's down here.

Constructive Comments?



I don't think such a thing exists with kids. It never really mattered before cuz I only shared drawings for the heck of it. Lately I haven't been seeing my friends that often to work with so I wanted the public opinion to see if in their eyes my drawings have improved. That was a big mistake. All I ever got was... awww that's nice.. orr... good stuff. I could tell either they didn't mean it or those are not grown ups commenting. It never mattered when I didn't need it... but it's starting to get annoying. Every time I enter a thread hoping to hear something useful all I get is a routine of nices and good jobs (which I think most just write to be polite)... I've decided to stop sharing there.

I was gonna ask about which forum or place to visit in order to get constructive comments from those who know what they're talking about. Well if anyone knows plz share.

In case you were wondering what I was talking about. The drawings are here.
I know what I said up there would make you readers afraid to comment now... but feel free.. this is my blog.. wont be expecting constructive comments here XD... lol.. here I only share for memoirs as a diary.

The closer you get to something, The tougher it is to see it

Guess I'm just in love with this song. lol Naruto Shippuuden almost rules all on my list.



Lyrics:

You've gotta be extra careful with
The things that are close and dearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
Explain to me all my happiness
That you just experienced by my side
Or maybe you're so blessed in ways that
You can't even remember it all
That you are standing here with me
That you live and breathe and see and feel
They're all little miracles and wonder
Just by themselves.
You've gotta be extra careful with
The things that are close and dearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it

You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted
It's fine to say "Never give up"
Say "Keep chasing your dreams on
But the more time you spend talking big
The less you get done with life
I'll let that handful of courage in my heart
Help me survive another day
And I'll never take it for granted


Guess the best thing I like about Japanese is their Morals.

A Dream Lost



Long ago I never thought this would be an issue... but now every time I see a kid wearing the outfit you see above... or every time I hear someone mention they were practicing the Martial Arts... a surge of immense jealousy suddenly sprouts out from inside me... I start feeling down for a long time after that...
I've always wanted to learn the Martial Arts as a kid, but I never got the chance... 1. cuz I didn't try to convince my dad when I was young. and 2. now that I'm a grown up and these martial arts are usually taught by men... I'm afraid I won't be allowed to... plus... I might be too old with 22 to start now...

this blows! =(

"Abstract"

First created by Picasso. Cuz after the invention of cameras and photos there was really no need for people to create real drawings... one button click would've given a better and more realistic result. Artists' wages went down. But Picasso decided that he wanted to do something different. Something unrealistic... something that a camera is not likely to capture in real life... so he came up with human features that had their body parts in different areas. Or simply unusual dimensions... after learning the story behind Picasso's work which I was not quite fond of previously, I came to understand it better and admire his way of thinking... despite the fact that I didn't exactly prefer abstract to realism. Yet, admired the idea :D ... this art class was most interesting to me... and learning how to think as an artist, we've been told to go with the flow when drawing and not aim for perfection. A real meaning behind art didn't have to be something real... even a small sign could hold a lot of meaning... very intriguing indeed... I don't know how many of you like his work... but these are a few examples... what I've done in class was something similar... course luckily I always get an acceptional mark and the teacher's always been satisfied...
