Anger of the Hands

The portraits of the “Anger of the Hands” are my simple art works on oil pastel. I made these out of my creativity and desire to express what goes beyond my mind, my heart and my hands. I started having a hobby like this since I was a kid and I guess I still save those sketch and design way back at home goin’ to post it here when I retrieve them If I can remember then, I really don’t have the guts to show my works to other people since I have the feeling of getting shrink when they can’t appreciate every single thing that I make. Duh! Not all humans know how to cherish the work of art.

 

But now, I’m gonna share all these stuffs out here….just an outlook of being ingenious to life.

InKeD L!Fe

Just got my life inked. The tattoo is placed at the right side of my back. It’s a Koi fish which means love and affection. It is also a symbol of love and friendship in Japan . It is closely related to goldfish where in fact its style of breeding and ornamentation has become very similar. Actually, the Koi and tattoos of Koi are traditionally considered as lucky. The word koi comes from Japanese which simply means “carp” that also includes the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties.

The Big 'O' on Art

One thing why I’m so blessed is that I got a brother who’s so much gifted with his bare hands. I don’t exactly know where he got his ability to draw or to paint, but huh, maybe it runs in the blood, heheheh… He is Omar. My family and I first notice his skills when he was still a kid. He drew too much and when he first stepped on school he used to join the poster making contest. He often won the contest until he became the constant representative of the poster making category. As I remember at the age of seven he was already sent to Cebu City, Baguio, Aklan and other places to represent his school.

He was a small but terrible boy by that time; now see how he’s gone far. He’s a total grown up guy, and he’s the artist of the fam. With his looks, oh, don’t bother! He got his own styles to amaze other humans, hahah! I used to get irritated the way he dressed up but later on I need to adopt everything he has in his life. I love this guy, and he’s the best bro that I have…. Aside from being a sister, I still try to be a great friend to him. We used to have the same likes when it comes to music, fashion, stuffs, and we even have common friends that make us more close to each other. And hmmmm… one thing I like most with this art guy is that he used to lend me money whenever I’m broke, hahahaha! That’s the good thing of having an utmost bro like him! I got some of his paintings here.

Check 'em out and see how awesome the art are...

TATS on AJ!

Angelina Jolie Tattoos

 

 

 

Oh hell! I didn’t even expect Angelina Jolie would have a lot of tats in her body since it was not all shown on all her movies… Sources (http://www.freetattoodesigns.org )said that AJ’s tats were covered with make-up every time she’s making a film. Her every single awesome tattoo is momentous so see what’s in her body and see where they are placed.  


Angelina Jolie is a famous actress with a serious love for tattoos, she's regularly featured in celebrity news magazines and websites with one of her new tattoo designs. She has at least a dozen tattoos over her body and she also has quiet a lot experience with tattoo removal (see the end of this article for the tattoos that she had removed).

When shooting a film, her tattoos are covered with makeup. Each one of her tattoos have a special meaning.

Here's an overview with pictures of Angelina Jolie's tattoos:

Angelina Jolie Know Your Rights Tattoo

This Gothic letter tattoo between her shoulder blades says "Know Your Rights". It's the title of a song of her favorite band.

 

Angelina Jolie Khmer Tattoo

This tattoo on her left shoulder blade was, just like the tiger tattoo, done by tattoo artist Noo (aka Sompong) Kanhphaiin in a hotel in Pathum Thani, 16 miles north of Bangkok. It is a Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer script, the language of Cambodia. It is there to protect her and her adopted Cambodian son Maddox from bad luck.

Here's the translation:

May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.

 

Angelina Jolie Arabic tattoo

This Arabic script tattoo on Angelina Jolie's right arm means "Strength of Will". It covers up the abstract lines tattoo she had done together with her ex Billy Bob Thornton.

Angelina Jolie's 13 tattoo

This tattoo on her left underarm is the Roman number 13. She had it done because she doesn't believe in superstitions.

Later she had V MCMXL added to the tattoo. 13 May 1940 is the date when Winston Churchill gave a famous speech, in which he said: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat".

Angelina Jolie arm tattoo

This tattoo on Jolie's left arm are the words of Tennessee Williams:

"A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages."

Angelina Jolie had this tattoo done in the presence of her mother.

 

Angelina Jolie cross tattoo

This cross tattoo covers the little dragon with the blue tongue she had done in Amsterdam. Next to it is a phrase in Latin:

"Quod me nutrit me destruit", meaning "What nourishes me, destroys me."

Angelina Jolie had the cross tattoo done the day before she married Johnny Lee Miller in 1995. In her own words: "It was all symbolic, and it was a good thing, nothing dark."

 

Angelina Jolie rune tattoo

This rune style tattoo on Angelina's wrist is the letter h. Depending on the source it is to remind her of her ex boyfriend Timothy Hutton or her brother, James Haven.

 

Angelina Jolie's tattoo for her children

These numbers are the geographical coordinates (longitudes and latitudes) from the locations where her children first entered her life.

N11° 33' 00" E104° 51' 00" : the place in Cambodia where Angelina Jolie's eldest son Maddox was born.

  1. N09° 02' 00" E038° 45' 00" : the place in Ethiopia were her daughter Zahara was born.
  2. S22° 40' 26" E014° 31' 40" : the place in Namibia (Swakopmund) where Angelina gave birth to her biological daughter with Brad Pitt, Shiloh (Hebrew for "the peaceful one"), was born.
  3. N10° 46' 00" E106° 41' 40" : the place in Vietnam where Angelina's son Pax Thien was born.

 

The coordinates tattoo covers the place where the dragon tattoo and name of her ex husband Billy Bob used to be before they got lasered off. You can still see the dragon a bit.

 

Angelina Jolie Tiger Tattoo

This 12-inch long, 8-inch wide Bengal tiger tattoo on her lower back is Angelina Jolie's latest. It was done in Bangkok on July 8, 2004, during a 2 hour session by tattoo artist Sompong Kanhphai who also blessed it by chanting an ancient hymn. Sompong also did her Khmer tattoo. She had the tiger tattoo done to celebrate her Cambodian citizenship.

The tiger tattoo was done in the traditional Thai tattoo style with a manual needle. The tiger's tail covers her blue window tattoo.

Angelina wants to have yet another tattoo done in Thailand.

Removed or Covered Up Tattoos

Angelina Jolie dragon tattoo

This is Angelina Jolie's Asian dragon tattoo with the name of her second husband Billy Bob Thornton above it (added later). She had it removed after they broke up.

In an interview during the time of the tattoo removal procedure she said:

"I'll never be stupid enough to have a man's name tattooed on me again."

It took 5 visits to the tattoo removal clinic to erase the dragon and you can still see it a bit.

Angelina Jolie lower back tattoos

Jolie has 3 tattoos on her lower back: a tribal, a blue window and a tribal dragon.

The tribal dragon is now partly covered by the tiger tattoo.

The window is symbol for the fact that she always found herself looking through the window, wishing she was somewhere else. The window is covered up by the tail of the Bengal tiger. She had it covered because she is where she wants to be right now.

 

Angelina Jolie dragon tattoo

This dragon tattoo with blue tongue on Angelina's hip is covered up by the cross tattoo (see above). She got it in Amsterdam while she was drunk.

Angelina Jolie Tattoo

This abstract lines tattoo design on Angelina Jolie's right arm is a custom tattoo created by herself and Billy Bob Thornton. It is now covered up with the Arabic tattoo.

 

Angelina Jolie's Japanese tattoo

This tattoo on Jolie's left shoulder blade is the Japanese symbol for Death and it reminds her to live. She had it removed and now has the Khmer tattoo for her son Maddox on that place. This Japanese tattoo was her first tattoo ever.

Angelina Jolie courage tattoo

This tattoo on her right arm is the Japanese symbol for Courage. Her ex husband Johnny Lee Miller had a matching tattoo, that's why she had it removed, it didn't feel like her own.



Other Tattoos

There are 3 more tattoos, but there are no pictures of them:

  • Angelina Jolie had a tattoo below her naval which is probably removed. It depicted energy waves. She had it done in 1998 by Daemon Rowanchilde @ Urban Primitive Body Design.
  • She has a tattoo in the pubic area referring to Billy Bob Thornton.
  • Angelina has the letter M tattooed on the palm of her hand, a remembrance for her mother Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away.

Distraught

Unexplainable emotions. Bothered. I don’t know what to think… I feel lost … The other night I cried… It’s because I’m missin’ someone else’s presence. Damn am so sad and helpless that I can’t help myself to get up in the morning to go to work plus the pain I got with my eyes… Now last night I found myself alone by the dawn sittin’ on the bed with a cigar on the hand thinking something out of nothing. Gosh! I just get out of the room after the smoke and standby by the corridor of my dorm staring at the moon that glistens by the night…. I find hard to convey myself then, and not even a single utterance could clear up what goes beyond my mind and heart….

 

I miss him.

Now it’s another day again for me to face the anguish that I felt for someone…. Oh hell! Can somebody just send that guy home for me?! Nah! I’m being stupid again…. Sacrifice to get the price…. I guess…

StUfF tOYs

Actually, I’m a stuff toy maniac and a certified teddy hugger. I love collecting these things, and oops! Sometimes I do ask my friends to give me their cute stuffs whether they like it or not . My little brother has his own collections too and sometimes I used to steal it from him. Hahah, sounds funny but it’s true. I do have a lot of them at home where my hot momma put them together in a huge bag to keep them from getting unclean. I often buy them whenever I get attracted to the stuff and hell yeah even if I only got my last money for my expenses, I still intend to pay for it. oh well... these things make me smile especially when I'm depressed....I got some pictures out here so meet a few of them...

Carrots, Eggs, & Coffee!

Something to share with... and choose which are you.... a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?  

 

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will
never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

 A young woman went to her mother and told her about
 her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how
 she was going to make it and wanted to give up.
 She was tired of fighting and struggling. It
 seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

 Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three
 pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to
 boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs,
 and
 in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and
 boil; without saying a word.

 In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners.
 She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled
 the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee
 out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell
 me
 what you see.'

 'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.

 Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel
 the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then
 asked
 the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the
 shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

 Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the
 coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter
 then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'


 Her mother explained that each of these objects had
 faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.
 The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being
 subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg
 had been fragile.


 Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid
 interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside
 became

 


 hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they
 were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.


 'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When
 adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an
 egg
 or a coffee bean?




 Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that
 seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and
 lose my strength?


 Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but
 changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death,
 a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I
 become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the
 inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

 Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually
 changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When
 the
 water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like
 the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the
 situation around you.

 When the hour is the darkest and trials are their
 greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle
 adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?


May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and
enough hope to make you happy.



The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
 best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes
 along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a
 forgotten

 past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past
 failures and heartaches.


When you were born, you were crying and everyone
 around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one
 who is
 smiling and everyone around you is crying.

gumamela

When I was a kid, my Grandmama has a Gumamela plant beside our house. It has lots of flowers where I used to pick and put them on my basket everyday. Sometimes she would get mad at me coz she doesn’t want to see the shrub without any flowers. So my cousin and I used to hide from her and picked them without her seeing us.... I would sometimes smile whenever I remember these scenarios for it was a part of my life of being a kid, somehow…..

A sure thing that everyone knows what is a Gumamela, right? They’re rarely can be seen now on some areas but if you’ll notice these flowers, you can barely appreciate them because of their color and its typical form as a flower. But I often wonder why these Gumamela’s doesn’t have any scent… hmmm….

A Hisbiscus or a Gumamela has an alternate and ovate leaves with a toothed margin. The flowers are large usually trumpet-shaped with five or more petals. They come in white to pink, red, purple, or yellow. Oftentimes, this kind of shrubs is used for landscaping. It is also known as a China Rose and Shoeflower. Here in the Philippines , Gumamela is cultured as an ornamental plant. As an herbal medicine, the Gumamela flower, leaves and roots are usually used. It has the following medicinal characteristics such as expectorant, diuretic, emollient, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anodyne and refrigerant.
