black and white

can we just imagine summer as black and white for a moment. doesn't it seem like a dream. as if every little thing I used to worry about is all gone, washed out by the past. it feels as if we can be numb from the 108* F weather that california had last sunday. anyway, i got my driver's license, so hopefully my summer will consist of roadtrips (i doubt it) instead of days doing absolutely nothing while listening to old music in the phonograph. we are going old school here with vinyls.

art student

taking art in high school was really just an excuse for me to allot time exclusively dedicated to doing art.i'm really glad I did take AP Studio Art senior year regardless of the fact that it does not count for any college credits regarding my Nursing major. However, I strongly believe that art allows people to grow as a person through one's conveyance of artistic abilities to a certain medium. My tumblr blog is strictly dedicated to the artists whose work truly inspire me  to reach their level of ability as well as arouse me to make a move towards a desperation of wanting that piece to marry me forever. anyway, I am showing you some of the pieces I did during my senior year.




PS. I changed the look of the blog. thoughts? anyone?

Columbia California

California- being the state to the very west of the US has an incredibly rich history. It is really fascinating since it was known for gold and cowboys before Hollywood even became a thing. I'm really happy that I live in California- not because of its history, but, instead because of the culture created from its history. I sometimes find myself amused of the very simple things in my surroundings (endless view of plains, almond plantations, cows, horses, and most of all cowboys!)

Even though I've lived here for 6 years now, I still continue to learn so much about this state and continue to discover fantastic and adorable places that are not very known to tourists. A few weeks ago...yes, i've been slacking... my family and I went to Columbia California. It has a little park with preserved buildings dating back to 1850s during the Gold Rush to California. Columbia was an actual town in which the miners stayed and mined for gold. there are still gold there and they have this little place where you can pan your own gold! I definitely enjoyed my time there!

staying inside

with the increasing temperatures here in the valley of California, I sometimes wonder how I will survive the upcoming 4 years in literally still staying at the so-called armpit of the state. This projection of 4 years at university--i was compelled to write "uni" as i have heard and seen this contraction from Brtitish people and Aussies, I'm quite not sure who else use it. BUT, anyway, the point is that this contraction is blatantly unappealing to my eyes and ears. I guess the defense mechanism of reaction formation was in action for a fleeting moment -- As I was saying, it's been very hot here and the only acceptable thing to do is to stay inside and draw. And so I did. forgive me for my complete lack of ability with regards to actually scanning my work. my sister's canon powershot has enough power to shoot (ahh see what i did there! ha!)  and convey what my designs look like.

graduation

I graduated highschool! finally! i feel like I've been waiting for this since junior high and now that it's finally done I'm glad I made a lot of good memories during my highschool time. senior year was undeniably the most stressful and demanding year out of all the four years that I have endured in my school!
anyway summer has definitely started and I have been keeping myself incredibly busy with sewing, painting, reading, and designing.

closing.

the end of May is approaching oh-so-very fast

as for me that only means one thing: graduation.

this school year flew by so fast that I am not sure what exactly happened.

however, now, while reflecting back about my year, I definitely developed friendships that will last for a long time and memories that I will definitely cherish forever.

i cannot believe how much I've grown to be who I am today. it's cray.

i am just hoping I will continue to do what I love to do in the future. I am very excited for this summer and-- of course-- college!

Summer Dresses

in 30* C weather, opting for clothes made of cotton or chiffon is the best idea.

can you just imagine the fabric sticking to your skin, the air surrounding you is HOT, it's humid, the sun is shining so brightly?

yes.

well it's officially summer here in california and it will get even hotter.

also everyone should just know that summer means light colored clothing!

I found these lovely dresses from EFOXCITY.COM

and of course they are affordable! 

they have a VARIETY of dresses, from wedding dresses, to summer dresses. yes.

they also have a great jewelry section that I just wish I can get my hands on

Irregardless, i cannot resist to put these ones too because these are just UHH-dorable clothing pieces.
