Miss Teen Manawatu 2012

Hello, I just got back from Miss Teen Manawatu Final Night. I really enjoyed watching it, especially  when my friend Brittany got into the top 6 finalist and my former classmate Charlotte won the Miss Teen Crown. Overall a great night. 
At the very beginning, when my friends were trying to get me to do Miss Teen, I thought "There's no freaking way that I'm going to stand up there, smiling like a plastic doll and let the people judge me on my appearance then compare me to other girls." Because A. Pretty is definitely not one of the first word that I describe myself and B. I don't have the money to fake it and C. I didn't get why in the world would you pay $365 (not to mention the hair, make up, ball gown,..) for some one else to judge you not on your talent but your appearance. I thought a competition like this is so superficial and demeaning. But then when it started, as I watched and helped Brittany and Becca to doll up, be pretty, and how confidence they were. Then I also got dolled up to go to the Cocktail Night. It was so much fun!!! It really did changed my opinion on Beauty Pageants. 
But as the competition coming to a close, cracks started to appear. Cracks of being pushed too hard, money, expectations, circumstances, jealousy, loyalty, desperation, confidence... These are the cracks that only the people who are close to the contestants could see but cant speak up about so we can only try to cover them up. 
After the show I was talking to someone I know and they said "It was a fun to watch, not to be in it though". I couldn't agree more. It is so easy to get sucked into all that glam and glitter.
The former Miss Teen, the MC, the judges, the coordinators all pretty much describe the competition as a way to help to build confidence and learn important life skills. Not really. Well maybe, for the ones who won something. Because, this is the opinion of the people who got it good, so they have to make it sound good to the rest of us. But what important life skills? Foundation goes before concealer? Or always stand with one feet in front of the other? And how can the non winner build their confidences when they're being told non-directly that they are not as pretty, not as photogenic, do not have as much potential, aren't dressed as nicely or have uglier hair compared to other contestants (it's even worse if they're your friends)? How can they be confident when all their efforts resulted a zero. This is why only the winner gets to give speeches, it's like in History: all war books are written from the winner's point-of-view. And if the non-winners speak up on how they actually feel, they'll probably be called 'sore loser'. But they can't help it feeling sad, it's the human nature. 
I do applause all the contestants though, for being brave enough to enter this competition, it is definitely not an easy thing to put yourself out there (obviously I failed). 
Please do bear in mind when you read this is that this is my personal opinion. From someone who witnessed, not a loser or a winner. And I am definitely NOT forcing my opinion on anyone, you can take as much or as little of this post as you want, or non at all. 
Again, congratulation to all the contestants.

Another day another post :)

Hey, I know this post is kind of late  but it's only 11:30 so I'm still technically posting once everyday. I've been busy all day. Woke up at 10:30 then meet up with a few friends at 11:30. We went op-shopping at Sarvation Army Family store and The Recycle Boutique which was so much fun, and I got a mint green belt from the boutique for $2.30 (Bargain!) and it's looks fairly new. I took a few pictures on my sister's ipod but didn't know how to put it on my laptop. Then we went shopping in the Plaza and I got an infinity scarf (or a snood) from Rubi Shoe for $5 (again Bargain!) in marble grey. We also had lunch in town at Subway and I got Meatball sub which was yummy :D (I LOVE SUBWAY). Then I got some more new hair pins which isn't very exciting but still. And in the Boutique I saw this gorgeous designer leather-like jacket qith loads of zips that looked brand new and was $46 (the brand just escaped my mine), I tried it on and it looks really good, but I couldn't afford it (well I could but Mum wouldn't b very happy :\). Then at 5pm I had work at Bangkok Thai which was kinda busy. Then got home at 9pm. Oh I forgot to mention, yesterday at Rebecca's, she painted my nails flags of different countries which looks so cool, I have Italy, Canada, New Zealand, All Blacks flag, Korea, USA, Japan, England, South Africa and France :D. I honestly love them so much :) :) :). Then, I was watching shaanxo's channel on youtube and saw her new video which is a healthy living/ slimming down video, in it she went through what she did to slim down, her eating habit,...which I found really useful and motivating (I feel like I need to lose a few). She also mentioned myfitnesspal, so i just sign up on that and started my food + fitness diary. I really hope this work because I feel like I'm so unfit and  fat-ish in winter and I really want to not gain any more weight over the winter and maybe losing some as well. 
I have no plan for tomorrow except Centergy at 12:05pm and then work at 5pm :)
Hope this "what I did today" post was not too boring (it's probably is boring), sorry I couldn't put any photos up. I'll also try to do some drawings for Art and Graphic. 
That's all.

Snow White inspired hair for Miss Teen Manawatu

Hey guys, so my friend Rebecca had her interview with the judges for Miss Teen Manawatu today and I got to do her hair and makeup. The hair is inspired by Snow White played by Kristen Stewart, I got this tutorial from Letsmakeitup1 channel on youtube, she's amazing and I get so many great ideas from her. I started doing the exact hairstyle she showed but then I added my on twist to it by turning it into a low side ponytail rather than a side braid and it looks really cool. Here are some photos of the original hairstyle and the altered one :). Hope you like it :)

Art

This is a new piece that I started a few days ago and just finished an hour ago. Knowing me, it's probably not done yet, I'll be adding to it. You can't really see but the highlight bits in this is actually me scratching on top of the pastel which give it a really interesting effect. I'm quite happy with this especially it started off as a scribble of yellow, green and red. :) Hope it's not too bad :)

Bits and Bobs

Hi guys, today's blog post is going to be a collection of random thoughts that I have and want to write about. So here it is:
  1. 100 views!!! Yes I have over 100 views on my blog, it's quite exciting but I bet you over 50% of the views are form me. Kind of sad actually, but exciting :D. I was looking at my traffic sources and came across a really awesome art related website kallery.net. So thank you every one who took a look at my blog. I know it's probably really boring but I am trying my best to write a post everyday and make it more interesting. :)
  2. Miss Teen Manawatu 2012!!! As I mentioned in a previous post, 2 of my very close friends are doing Miss Teen and they were kind/brave enough to let me and another close friend of mine Rosanna to do their makeups and hair for most of the events. Tomorrow will be their last event which is the interview with the judges before the final night on Friday 13th (I know!! It just have to be Friday the 13th). So I'll be doing Brit and Becca's hair and make up till 6:30pm then I'm off to the gym. Haven't been there since Friday but it feels like weeks. AND, Becca and Brit are getting me a ticket for the final show!! The thing cost like $35 and it's so nice of them to pay for me. Thank you guys (if your reading this).
  3. I have a close friend name Kayla, and she wants me to mention her in my blog, since after all, she's the one who gave me the nickname "Moosh". So thank you Kayla for the awesome nickname you gave me and I hope you like this :D.
  4. I'm very much obsessed with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone!!! They're actually dating in real life!! OMG PERFECT COUPLE!!!
  5. I'm working on an artwork which should finish soon so I'll be posting about that :)
This was Bits and Bobs in my life at the moment, thanks for reading, hope it's not too boring.
