Media!? Or just people..?!

Media is such a tease!!! It is really tuching people to the core! If media says "it's pink day" people will follow and actually wear pink clothes or whatever!!!!! People are so driven and addicted to media that the whole world is ready to show off!! They all/we all became obsessed with who's better than one another. People don't focus on kindess and love and righteousness anymore. There's no shame or embarrassment in doing what's wrong anymore, in fact we are proud of it.... Has the world always been this way or is just me that woke up and realized that this world is going...down... :( 

Margaret White- Definitely one of my favorite photographers

Photo: Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971)

Dr. Kurt Lisson Leipzig’s city treasurer, and his wife and daughter after taking poison to avoid surrender to U.S. troops, Leipzig, 1945

Margaret White is an American photographer, the first female foreign photographer to take pictures of the Soviet industry, the first female war correspondent and the first female photographer for “Life” magazine.  She was always in the right place at the right time.

In this picture the artist depicts 3 people in a room. If we did not know the title of the photograph, we would think that the characters are asleep, since the characters are blending in with the furniture. At first glance one would observe the furnishings and the bright light that comes through the windows. Once the photograph is further viewed, one can now notice the statues of people in the room. It seems like the man is trying to hide something important or that he is grieved with sorrow because of the two females.  If one examines the photo a little closer, it can be deduced that the people in the picture were killed. Margaret White was again at the right place and right time when Deputy Mayor Leipzig, his wife and daughter took poison before the U.S. troops would come to interrogate and arrest them.  Leipzig’s wife is on the chair and he’s daughter wearing a Red Cross uniform and is laid on the couch.

The picture is so powerful because it draws the viewer in and the message and the feeling that is affecting the viewer is having a huge impact on one’s memory.

The great light that comes through the windows gives an interesting texture to the seats. Because the picture is black and white, and from the character’s outfits, we can assume that this picture was taken in the 50’s, so I was wondering how would the picture look like if it had a little bit of color. I was wondering if it would transmit the same feeling, if the bodies are as noticeable at first glance or not.

I finally downloaded the blogger app

Now that I have the blogger app I'll be able to post lots of things and lots of pictures! Can't wait! 

So excited!!!

Every single time I am thinking about writing here I always negotiating in my mind and telling myself it's either too late... or it's really not that important... I don't have time... I've got something else to do...but a few minutes ago I got a chance to look at my whole blog and I see.... that ...I really don't write when I'm happy... I'm putting all my sorrow into this blog and it's so sad....
 So then I decided that I should write more often.. One because I really need to get better at writing, two because I wanna brighten this blog up and three because I've always wanted to write... I just need more time.

So... Today was a good day... we celebrated one of my best friend's birthday... Her name is Anette and she is a genius! I am serious! She knows math, physics, chemistry, all related to science... :) oh and yes she's half japanese...nope I am not stereotyping. Anyway she is dating Andrew right now.. Andrew is Jeremy's cousin.. I kinda introduced them to each other.. (Annette to Andrew).. Anyway.. I can't really tell that story right now but I will... before I forget..

What I'm into at the moment? what makes me excited....
Well... I absolutely love singing!! I get tips from Brett Manning - a Professional voice coach... I am doing some voice warmups that he mentions on youtube or in singing success (a cd that helps you learn how to sing better...)
I love getting stuff in the mail....!!!!!!!! OMG that is always making my day! mostly I get a book that I order off of amazon...LOL... or a free magazine that I subscribed to, but it's still amazing...
Last but not least significant... I am very much into Sherlock.. the show (BBC show) the movie and the books.

 I am wondering what I'm gonna be into a year from now... :)

Anyway... I'm gonna write some more tomorrow since... I need to....:|

Supernatural Powers!

Today is Independence Day and also my mum's birthday. We had some friends over and we also had to visit my parents but overall we had a successful day in spite the fact that I was having a huge headache the whole day and I had no caffeine.

We just finished watching a superhero film that it was really marvelous and inspiring... hehe

I asked my people if they could have a supernatural power what would it be? of course the guys said to be really super strong, or to fly..... but I was thinking... what could it be for us to have a supernatural power that we actually could have...

In church we are always told that people need love so just get out and love on people...and it's true... really this world is hurting and love is the only hope. Therefore God is love. So show people GOD=LOVE.

A few supernatural powers that I would like to have and I am inspired to achieve is to love. 

To LOVE those people that just annoy me so much or hurt me so much (because hurt people hurt people!!!) it is so hard to be nice to those people that just really just treat you like garbage. But loving someone unlovable is definitely a supernatural power! Not many people can do that...nope not even me...not yet!

Forgiving someone (and this one goes hand in hand with loving) that had done you so wrong....  just imagine....  you might say in your heart... how can I forgive someone that is totally being so mean to me and do mean things on purpose.... what about ...just avoiding that person.. I'm saying- God has your back!- just love and forgive you will feel sooooo much better!

Being joyful in times of trouble... ...

Oh Dear Lord.. I remember this one... when my father had cancer 4 years ago and I just had to keep show a smile to those around me, to still encourage them and to rejoice (to no stop from seeing the miracles of God day by day). It was hard! I wanted to much to focus on my problem. I wanted so much to focus on the negative side...

To have peace... ...for me it means...to just feel the Presence of God with you when you are scared. When you are in front of a million people and you actually have to speak or sing or do something.. When your heart just beats 100 times a minute and your voice cracks and your hands and whole body is shacking just just stop and know that no one in that audience is more important or more amazing than one person that is ALWAYS with you and that is God. Know that He is there with you. Do not be afraid.

Here is the rest of the list of all the superpowers I would like to have forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is are all the fruits of the spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23.

Now this is what I'am talking about....
