THE CHARMS OF NATURE

There's nothing much to update this time in my blog...same routine and usual errand.Well,life is a bit boring these weeks as in monotonous days have stricken my life that tempted me to quit my tutorial job.
Sometimes when you get bored, everything went down asking yourself while facing the mirror.Tiredness,loneliness starting to envelope your heart as if the world is already hopeless and no chances to grow and improve from the old ways of life.
I usually,spend time browsing the net and leisurely entertain my weary heart from the boredoms of life.Checking the pictures and wallpapers of nature was the best remedies I recommended for a loner type personality just like me.
The picture below removes the aches that excruciatingly hurting my heart...staring at it, cools down the heavy load that you carry everyday.

Springtime is seen as a time growth,renewal,new life being born, and the recycle of life..the picture can attest itself silently.
When you look up into the blue sky you will find a great big smile through the clouds.Smiles are what fill us with delight and bring us back to our good old days.I can feel it in the air like a new and shivering flower that is growing.
I can see a lark in the morning like saying hello to me.I can hear it in the wind like a warm and tender greeting from an old friend.
I can feel it in my heart like a pure and sparkling mountain stream cascading.The trails of God's creation speaks directly to the heart that no matter how hopeless the world is,you just look up and you won't get bored.His nature charms the boredom of life...

ANALYZING PRINT ADS

Just saw these ads in the net and some of the articles being printed about the nude ads posted along the high ways...Even in the Philippines,Bench has been copying Calvin Klein as the most vulgar ads in terms of advertising its undies publicly...do they need to post nude males/female models just to attract their buyers to buy?

Advertising surrounds our students and kids; advertising is unavoidable. Before the school day begins, adolescents encounter numerous forms of advertising. Whether it is on the radio, billboards, newspapers, magazines, TV, or online, students need to be aware of what they are subjected to. We live in a consumer culture and adolescents are very much a part of that culture. In fact, a large number of adolescents have a disposable income since they are still living at home and being supported by their parents. It is extremely critical that we teach adolescents to critically analyze advertising since they are at an impressionable age and are at the heart of developing their individual identities. As teachers, we want to inculcate into our students the importance of thinking critically about the world around them and to adopt ideologies based on their own personal beliefs, values, and attitudes. Today’s adolescents need to develop their own ideologies rather than the advertisement industry telling our adolescents who they ought to be.

Adolescents must understand how to be critical analyzers of advertising and also understand the process and strategy that the advertising industry assumes. The ability to critically analyze advertisements allows adolescents to place advertisements within a particular context and culture. Rather than allowing advertisements to position adolescents as particular audiences, adolescents, engaged in critical analysis of advertisements, will be able to take a step back, distance themselves, and objectively partake in advertisement viewing. Part of learning to critically analyze advertising is learning about the advertisement itself and also the context in which the audience responds to the advertisement

Does Calvin Klein sold us sex eroticism?

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

Nothing much newsworthy this time aside from the increase of Oil,Gas, and prime commodities.It has been a cliche' now and boring to discuss since the Governments are enjoying fattening their wallets and barrels.
Well,another true to life story that melted and shed a bit of tears in my eyes is the story of Yvette that I've got from the blog of Stacy..for the complete story please do read:

Take a good long look at this face...

Her name is Yvette Cade and she currently is about 34 years old. She has a small pixie voice with words that are deliberate and a high pitched giggle that perfectly matches her small pixie stature. She has one daughter and an ex-husband who is in jail for setting her on fire in 2005.


When she was 31, Yvette married Roger Hargrave falling in love with his wit and the gentle manners in which he treated his son from a previous marriage. Soon after their wedding, he began drinking a lot and became volatile, demanding, possessive, suspicious and abusive.

Yvette eventually had the courage to walk away wanting safety for her daughter but Hargrave was not willing to let her go. On the day Yvette's life was thrown into chaos, Hargrave had called her about 14 times in order to tell her he loved her. When he finally did get through to her, he told her, "he wanted to fry her like Crisco".

Six hours later, he showed up at her place of employment - a T-mobile store in Clinton, Maryland - and poured gasoline from a two liter bottle all over her and then chased her until she fell down. While she was down, he lit a match, dropped it on her and then walked away while 60% of her body sizzled.

He later told the judge that what he did was insane and he was sorry that he'd behaved that way. To date, he has never apologized or shown any remorse to his wife for the pain and suffering he has caused her .

One month before this happened, she had been to court to plead with a judge to enforce and injunction against Hargrave. After telling the judge that she was afraid for herself and her daughter and wanted an immediate divorce, the judge callously said, "Well I'd like to be 6'5" but I don't get that either. You'll have to go to divorce court for that" and then dismissed Yvette and the injunction with a bang of his gavel.

Later on the judge said that it was a clerical error that caused her injunction to be dismissed. Yeah, right...

Yvette has been through close to 20 surgeries, has had to wear a pressure suit and masks up to 23 hours a day to minimize scar tissue and do excruciating exercises and slather down in creams to keep her skin as supple as she can. She wears bandages on the back of her head where her hair was burnt into her scalp. She works her hands so she can maintain a bit of mobility to take care of her daughter, and hopefully one day, some grandchildren.



she also recites all of her blessings and the things that she is grateful for everyday.And when she finally did have the courage to go out in public, although many were struck by awe at her appearance, that beauty came out at she said that she was there to plead with women in abusive situations to GET OUT and SEEK HELP. She put her own pride aside to encourage others to get help before it was too late.
And on Oprah, when she was asked by the talk show queen what her thoughts were about Roger Hargrave, Yvette pursed her scarred lips, remained silent for a moment and then smiled slightly as she said, "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

THE BEAUTY OF ART

Many have said that art is beauty,regardless of the creations and the outcome as long as they are art there is beauty.
But in these pictures that I posted down is honestly out of the content....do you consider these as Art?
The pictures that you'll see in here are no longer normally art...well that's how I see it.
Question practically pop out in mind..what happen to these people? Are they
losing morality and values in Life?
I can't afford to have a friend like this...nor a relative having an image like this,there's a lot of ways to express oneself thru arts.
I really don't know in the latter part,sense of regrets would haunt them down when realizations proved them wrong.
