B-Littling

Think of art as something you see in everyday life; we practically live in art. It's so flexible and blends so well with the background that people don't really notice it sometimes. When you go to a clothes store and see this beautiful jacket that you really like, you turn to the price tag and you see that it's Gucci. What comes to your mind? You'd think, "Awww, it's too expensive! I can't buy it...." and you place it back on the rack with the other jackets and shirts that are worth ten times more than your allowance. But are you aware, that jacket that you had just placed back onto the rack, is a result of inspiration and hard work that is the soul of a designer. If you put your heart and soul, stayed awake throughout a whole night, thinking of what to do for something that is so important so that you can make money to go on in the big game of life, would you be angry? If you hear someone on the sidewalks, peering into the glass window displays that are showcasing let's say an evening gown that you designed, says, "It just a waste of money, who would want to buy something like that?" and they'd scoff at it...

Underestimation means looking down upon something; belittling a certain object or person. Art, as a major field has been belittled most of the time. People think it's easy. But just to give you a little reminder, "Nothing is easy." When you were born, could you walk? Could you talk? Could you ride a bike? Read? I bet you're all shaking your heads now. Almost anything that we do today; things we are good at; things we are bad at, are the end product of the amount of practice and dedication that we have focused onto a certain field. Don't feel offended just because I only mentioned about the field that I'm venturing in. Everyone faces this problem most of the time. The thing is most people don't even understand what anyone is feeling. We often rely on our 'guts' to determine what others are feeling. However, some people are blinded by lies, denial; the negative things that are surrounding us everyday.

We shouldn't get ourselves down just because we face negative things almost everyday. People need to stand up for themselves. Underestimation, belittling; it happens everyday. Let underestimate you... but it's you who decides who you want to be one day. You would look back about the times when you get depressed or sad when somebody looked down on you. When you do look back at those times, it'd mean either you've succeeded at doing what you think you're born to do or you have failed... Even if you do fail, it's not the end of the world. Like how I always say it, "Nothing is impossible."

I'm FREE!

It has been awhile, dear readers! I love you all. lol. Basically, life has been not bad. There had been a lil' depression and stuff like that. But I feel great now. I went to this Youth Rally and well, it was one of the only times I felt so free. It was fun and woah... was it really crazy! lol...

The PMR examinations are just around the corner. I'm probably 70% ready to sit for it. I really hope that things work out for me. I'm gonna pray to God (I know what you're thinking, "Omigosh, when did Jiyo ever pray?"). Well, I'm gonna start praying now and truth be told, I'm actually sin-free for now. Well, at least I think I am. I don't feel shy anymore and I want to present myself the best that I can. So, after PMR this whole blog will go under renovation. Yup, I'm serious. I can;t be the weird person forever. I'm going to stand up for myself. Well, see you guys soon.

STRAIGHT A'S! HERE I COME! XD

Failure = Success

Being a weird person like I always am, I love to stand out and be different from most people. Why does a person need to make life so troublesome just to stay incognito and to be able to fit in with the social norms of life. I, having a not quite poplar social life, feel very bored and sometimes decide to withdraw myself from the realistic life I am living in. This is when I most likely 'zone out' and not to mention, it would be the time that I feel very depressed and disappointed in my management of every decision making. The hardest situation a teenager is forced to deal with. *sigh*

Lately, I have been extremely busy with school activities in conjunction with my school's 80th anniversary celebration. Woohoo! The fun fact about these activities is that a lot of students (including me) get to skip class all week, ain't that fun? The downside is our papers are being distributed without us. So, I absolutely have no idea what on Earth are my marks going to look like. To make matters worse, my mother, who is very caring and religious, cares a little too much sometimes. As a result, as soon as I reach home after a long day helping out with the preparations, I would be bombarded with question after question, not only about how I did for my examinations but also the reasons why I came home late. As a conclusion, my studies are as a matter of fact, a total 'bummer'; a 'sunny side down'; down the toilet bowl...

As a conclusion to this matter, I guess things so far can only be described as a failure. Yes, a big failure. Well, hopefully, everything will turn out alright tomorrow... I can't imagine what tomorrow will have in stored for me. Well, can anybody? In just 10 hours and 14 minutes, the 19th of June 2009, SMK St. Columba will be opening it's doors to the public and hopefully it will be a huge success.

Ways of celebrating Chinese New Year with Jiyo

As you readers might know, Chinese all over the globe are celebrating Chinese New Year and so, as a Chinese myself I would love to show you the ways I celebrate my Chinese New Year this year...

Usually I would be going back to my mum's and dad's hometowns in Sibu but there were some difficulties. Maybe some of you have heard of the road connecting Bintulu and Miri splitting in half and I thought Britney and K. Fed were hard to imagine but this was worse. Resulting the fact that I would be stuck in Miri to celebrate Chinese New Year. So, I took some pictures...and they are all you have been waiting for! XDXD

Way No.1 to have a Jiyo-style Chinese New Year... decorate the house! This is vitally important due to cleanliness reasons and to make your house look even more messier but sexier than it is.

Way No.2... prepare so much food that you are already concious that its impossible for the family to finish everything.This is quite important because no one would want to be left hungry and tired after a long day of car washing, wall washing, cooking and shopping.

Way No.3... play some good, and loud firecrackers. Firecrackers show how 'chio' and sexy you are, so the more you light up, the more respect you get.

Way No.4... eat when you know that you're already full. This is quite 'optional' unless you can stuff in more stuff even if you are full and let me just tell you... it so friggin' hurts.

Way No.5... be vain. Show your sexiness. It's not like people can stop you. Well, just don't do it infront of you're parents cause they might do something.

Way No.6... Drink alcohol. A lot of alcohol... but try your best not to get drunk. And if you're a Muslim reading this blog right now. Then, do not try out Way No.6... The world of being drunk is fun but not when you start to get sick and puke on your relatives, siblings or mum...Way No.7... Record something for memories... That is a fact, readers. Nobody would want to forget one of their happiest memories unless it happens to be full of deadly, revenge seeking Chihuahuas... *shivers*

and finally the most anticipated way would be...
Way No.8... Get an alarm clock to wake you up...


Today is the day for red packets and nobody would be stupid enough to miss this opportunity to grab money from elderly folk... Wakakaka... and I thought Mr. Ong was mean... LOL XDXD... Well, wishing all my readers a wonderful and prosperous Happy Chinese New Year. Yours truly-JiyoXD.
