Officially Published

9:00 AM

I don't think I can be happier. Being a published artist has always been a hidden goal of mine. I say hidden because I never thought it is going to be possible. And today that somehow managed to happen. I am now an officially published artist. The statement "When one door closes another door opens." is true after all. After being rejected from two school teams, I thought I was the problem. Somehow, being passionate in everything I do doesn't get me anywhere. But I'm wrong, I have worked 14 years to where I am now. Now at the age of 16, my artwork has been published. I would not have traded this for any of those academic team acceptances.


It's not all happiness and rainbows though. Sometimes I don't feel like telling anyone about my art because I don't want to brag or come off as arrogant because of what I do. I feel like the more awards accumulate, the less I want to share it with people because sometimes these things are no longer big enough for other people to care about. For example, I fake when other people are successful when I'm actually jealous and bitter because I'm not as good but I'm afraid that people are going to do that to me too. I hope that for those of my friends who are reading this, realize that I'm just trying to share one of my achievements with you and I didn't mean to brag. I hope there are more great things to come with my art and I haven't came up with another goal yet... But when I do, ma beans please be there to support me. Until next time, stay cool ma beans!

Relaxation Saturday: Getty Center

7:36 PM

Three day weekend, so let's take a trip to the Getty Center + Malibu. So I got up this morning at around 8:00 and got ready to leave for the museum. For today, I wore black leggings, a leather jacket, my gray T-shirt dress that I bought last week, and my black shiny boots. Last night I curled my hair, and everything was already prepared. I also bought this new Covergirl lipstick that is super moisturizing and since I am near the beach, I wore some sunblock. So that's my preparation. Once we got there, it was around 11, so I grabbed one of those museum information thingies that plays summaries of each of the artifacts. Yea one of those. So I walked around the museum for about 2 hours then I took a snack break and I drew a sketch of the garden. So this is where things get exciting... I know some of you guys have never been to CA let alone Malibu... I've only been there like three times... In movies, at Malibu is filled with beautiful blonde girls and guys who are super cute surfers that hangs out at the beach everyday, then on the street across, there are huge spaced out mansions in addition on to the expensive boutiques. Well today, I saw two hot blonde surfer guys, and some mediocre looking girls. The beaches are completely flat and the sand is filled with trash. The mansions are crowed on the hills next to the street that is lined with cars. The patrol officers there are extremely racist at least to me. Here is what happened, we stopped at one of the beach sides, and these two patrol officers rode on horses, and so my dad and I decided to go and take a picture with the horses. While taking the picture, my dad tried to make small talk with the officer, and he introduced himself and told her that he really liked horses because he is an artist. But since his English is kinda broken, she laughed and pointed and said, "I am the police!" *Insert fake laughter here.* Are you kidding me right now?? I speak English and I can understand you fully, and that is not okay. You should realize that as an authority figure, you have an image to uphold. You should definitely snicker at someone who is paying taxes that probably goes to your salary. Another thing "officer" how come when another family asked you for pictures you did not say anything?? I am ashamed to even have come in contact with you. So I got that off my chest... But then on the way back, I saw two lime green Lamborghinis... That doesn't really mean anything but that's still better than that last story. At the end, just don't drive alongside Highway 1 because you will be disappointed. Until next time stay cool ma beans.
