This is the art work of Zach, my 6 year old nephew. I actually got his mail just a few days ago. I couldn’t help but smile at his drawing. His drawing visualizes a scene of me, him (Zach) and Cheska, her little sister playing on the playground. That’s what we used to do when I spend my vacation there at their place. His drawing reminded me of a lot of things, how happy we are when we are playing, making a fool out of ourselves. At my age, it reminded me of that certain feeling, the feeling of being a kid again, not minding the worldly responsibilities and even for a while, I could feel that life isn’t so complicated after all.
I guess just like me, Zach also has that love for drawing and artsy things; I think he got the potential too. Hmmm.. I guess it’s in the genes already—that love for drawing, colors and the arts per se. All I’m trying to say is, even little kids do have their own work of genius too. No matter what age a person may be, art would surely be expressed in a lot of ways. And this is art according to my six-yr-old nephew, just one of his many works of art.

Rainbow burst
Colors make one’s portrait come alive. It makes the scenery bright and radiant if there are colors in it. It sweeps away the dullness and the sadness one is experiencing. I have noticed that the colors that a painter uses in his works depict his or her mood while doing it. If the colors used are quite gloomy and the result of the work is just so-so, then that may reflect the true mood of the one who did that. If the colors used are marvelously vibrant and the work of art is utterly splendid, one can sense the mood by just a mere glance at the art work; it depicts joy and happiness.
It made me think of it. In life, how I wish it would just be oh so colorful everyday, that there will be no ominous days—that life would just be filled with wonderful bursts of colors and say send-off those black and dark colors. I must admit, colors give meaning to one’s life; vibrant colors means happiness and dull colors give a-not-so-happy thoughts. As they say, different colors have different meanings and have their own corresponding significance. I love it when the colors are mixed up together, it certainly does construct the meaning of art. Different colors come intertwined it’s as if it creates a magical mystery behind.

Even candies also have a taste of art!
fight for my heart
I found this drawing while I was surfing the net; I was astounded to find a site or a fanpop for that matter that features peyton’s art. I certainly am truly awed by her drawings throughout the whole one tree hill season episodes; her love for art is evidently seen by her superb works. No words need to be said, she simply unleashes her true emotions in her works.

A dash of color
I guess my passion for arts, painting and stuffs related to these had always been there. Since childhood, I used to draw, color and paint. Anything that comes into my mind and if I’m in the mood for doing art stuffs, then I’d quickly find pieces of paper, grab a pencil or coloring materials and the next thing that happens, I’m there on the table or floor sketching and doing artsy things. Even if my drawings and paintings are quite nonsense way back childhood, still I call it my work of art. Then I grew up, I still have that innate passion for paintings and colors; this time, I call my ‘works of art’ my so-called-masterpiece.

The love for ballet
I was once a ballerina in my own little way. I used to have those ballet lessons when I was still in pre-school or maybe that was like my elementary years. Attending ballet classes was fun but I guess I did not realize it’s worth way back. I used to enjoy every ballet classes I used to attend every after school. I liked having those colourful tights and leotards; I had like a number of them. I loved my pink ballet shoes. I enjoyed recitals and I get challenged by the thought of it. The sad part is, I stopped ballet lessons mainly because the little girl me that time got tired with the kind of schedule I used to have. Mom used to tell me that I got tired of doing it and that I want to stop ballet lessons. Well, when I got older, I realized that the decision that I had years ago was a wrong move. I regret why I stopped attending ballet lessons. What can I do, I was just a kid, not thinking about the decisions to be made. Maybe for me that time, it was a good decision to stop but actually it’s not. I wish I could just go back in time and erase that part when I made my not so good decision about quitting the whole ballet thing.
Years may go by but still my love for dancing and ballet will forever be there. It didn’t matter if I stopped way back but the thought of it that I experienced doing ballet, doing the moves and pirouettes, then I can say that it’s enough for me. My love for ballet and dancing as a whole would forever be there. I will always love stage plays, theatre acts, movies which has something to do with dancing and stuffs like that. Two thumbs up and full applause to the ballerinas out there. I simply adore you all.

happily ever after dream
I like to have dreams in my sleep because dreaming simple gives me the chance to escape reality for a while. In dreams, I see impossible and beautiful things happen. Vivid imaginations come alive and bring happy thoughts to my mind even for a while. In dreams, I can be my own princess, meet up with my prince charming, catch the sight of my own beautiful sparkling castle, and I get to have that happily ever after kind of story just like in fairy tales.
a kid's world
It’s always fun being a kid. A child’s life may seem to be as carefree as it seems. For them, life appears to be a no worry type of existence. They don’t have to worry what’s going to happen tomorrow or in the near future. A child’s day can already be said complete if he or she played the whole day. Playing is what keeps a child a busy and satisfied. Children always have that precious smiles on their faces, a mere giggle and a warm smile would brighten any adult’s horrible day. Yes, kids are definitely cute and adorable but often times, they become stubborn and with just a snap, they can be in their temper tantrum mode. Funny how easily they can be motivated with just simple M&M’s, a couple of starburst candies, a trip to the ice cream store, offering them their favourite bar of chocolate. Happiness for them can be seen everywhere and be felt all the time. It is such a wonderful life that they are living—a life that is simple, having not to worry about responsibility and a life that is not complicated.
Why am I even saying these things about kids? It is because I do sometimes envy the life of a kid. Yes, I was once a kid and I sure did love it. It’s living life with no worries, being contented with simple toys, getting bored because simply got tired of playing with the same old toys, tripping and falling down earning some scratches and wounds that are easily relieved through colourful band aids. When I grew up, I realized that a kid’s life is so much fun. How I wish I never would grow old or even age every year just like Peter Pan living in

Are promises really meant to be broken?
The word “promise” is such a grave word. It needs sincerity and whole hearted honesty every time one utters that word. To promise to a person is not an easy thing to do. Often times, people make promises all the time and yet, it ends up getting broken in the end. Most of the time, a guy would promise to a girl that he would stay faithful and he will love the girl till the end of time. Apparently, that promise is most of the time overlooked by men and it seemed like it has already been mouthed from one man to another. If we would look at it in the society, it is an example of a promise that is almost if not always been left broken. Many hearts have been shattered just with those words of promises which never came into reality. Another simple example would be of a career woman type of mother who promises to be there on her daughter’s very special birthday party. Yet, in the end, the mother was not able to attend her daughter’s much awaited birthday party and ends up feeling devastated. Instances like these are like moments in life that you wish had not ever existed. That you somehow wished that the promises were not said because all those wonderful words just left you hanging and felt bitter about the situation and even made you feel bad about the person. It’s always difficult when you’re holding on to the promises left by the person you trust most, value the most or even the one you love so dearly. You’d want to curse the words been sent and hope that the person who said could just all take them back but it’s all too late. The words have been stated and the promises have been broken.
Is it man’s nature to keep on promising where in fact, it would just lead to nowhere? Or are there just people who are just all about saying beautiful enticing words of promises and yet they don’t really mean it at all. It’s a bitter reality but the fact that many lives were broken just because of darn promises not kept and meant. Sweet words turned into viscous lies after all.
Wouldn’t it be nice when a person says he will do it and he promises to do it, willingly keeps up to the promise he meant? Wouldn’t it be better if we say a “promise is a promise” and really proves that he or she meant what was been said? Promises made by any person should all be coming from the heart. Not just merely saying those words because for the sake of exchange of sweet words that actually meant sweet nothings at all. It needs to be true and sincere so that no feelings will be spoiled and no relationships, ambitions and even families will be destroyed. So, the next time you make any promises, think about it first if you can live up to it and won’t end up flouting the promises in the end.
