When Will Tattoos Be Appreciated?

Stereotyping Tattooed Women

"It's Cheap." as they say, especially the stereotypes.. In the mindset of people, tattoos are for those who are brute, no lives and considered 'outcasts' of the society.. When people see a person with a tattoo, they might keep distance because they're scared or disgusted, some are amazed and praise the true meaning of body art.. Those people are the open-minded folks of the society who find Tattoo as an 'ART' and doesn't put any negative conclusions about a person with a tattoo.

Most of the stereotypes who dislike tattoos are those who are living in high standards and are close-minded, mostly old people who are practiced with an old-fashioned standards.. Back then, people who are tattooed are considered criminals/bad persons proving how brute they are and brave for enduring the pain from getting a tattoo. But nowadays tattoos are appreciated mostly by open-minded people, teens even have it because it is a way of appreciating Art. "It is the only art you can bring until death."

There's nothing wrong with people with tattoos as long as they make good deeds towards their family, friends, community and into the society.. We should all appreciate the great or small things inked people has done not only for themselves but also for everyone.. Women are mostly stereotyped by close-minded people because as they said it's cheap. But if you get through the meaning of the tattoo you'll see how deep the purpose of having it.

One more thing, tattoos are meant to be seen by people, for them to appreciate what that tattoo means, and at the same time they might appreciate the art out of the tattoo.. You don't hide it where people cannot see it, how can it possibly be an art if you don't show it? Just like the paintings in some gallery exhibits, they are praised and complimented, so why not Tattoos?

I don't care about what people might say, or think towards me. But i love my tattoo and i appreciate how artistic and courageous it is as a form of Art.

Nikki Girl, Oh Nikki Girl!

Looking back on how my life used to be

For those who knew me ever since i stepped out of my shell, they probably can tell i've changed into a better person. I've been living a better, not totally righteous but a better and more relevant life than before. I'd love to continue on being relevant and aware of things rather than being so immature, ending screwed and messed up..

To be honest, there are certain people who made me this way, and i thank everyone for being the reason of my transformation.. Somehow i also thank those who became a part of my crazy teenage life.. It was fun, i had fun but i'd like to move on and move forward.. :)

Friday The 13th

This is how my Friday the 13th went.

5:40am: Woke up and prayed.
5:50am: Prepared and cooked breakfast for two.
6:20am: Had breakfast and a cup of coffee with Kakai.
6:35am: Bathe and got dressed.
7:00am: Traveled on the way to Chikka Chat to drop something.
7:30am: Traveled on the way to Ateneo De davao University..
7:35am: Went into an internet cafe to photocopy identification cards.

Shoot! I forgot to buy pencil! Damn :(

7:40am: Went to HB1 to buy Monggol 2 pencil..

I was so concerned about my i.d. since i don't have any school i.d. on hand coz i friggin lost highshool and college i.d. (PCT i.d.).. So i brought with me my police clearance, hoping they would allow me to take the test. Geeeez! :O

7:50am: Rushed into ADdU Roxas entrance and tried to show our photocopied identification cards to the security guards but they didn't give a shizz about it instead one of the guards yelled "Go ahead you guys are late for the exam! Room 101" #Friday The 13th 1st luck

Me and my twin hurried our way into the designated examination room..
8:01am: "Room101" We then submitted our admission slips to the in-charged instructor then she gave it back in a rude manner telling us we're supposed to be at "Room102". Major Failure humiliating experience!*facepalm*
So we went into the room where the unkind instructor pointed us, noticed a line of students waiting for their names to be called and have their seats inside the testing room.
" Oh my gawwd we're friggin' late Kai, let's hope to god we can still take the test 'coz i don't wanna reschedule the test anymore.."
Then me and Kakai were fooling around, talking about Henifer Lopez, cartman's talking hands and Ben Affleck- All south park shits just to get out of pressure.
I paced into the room, looking if there are still vacant seats left for me and Kakai to sit in and take the test. Finally all students who were lined up already got their seats and so i gave me and Kakai's slip, hoping we can still make it..
"Thank goodness we're in and ready to take the Admission test.." #Friday The 13th 2nd luck
But ever so embarrassing, we were assigned to sit at the very front row- literally at the stage, four chairs aligned horizontally near the teacher's desk. Yeah, oh how we feel special being in this seat.. #Sarcasm
8:20am: Forgot to take track of the time, the following events took place around 8:20am and so everything begun.

Examination rules and instructions being discussed by the ACAT In-charged instructor.

I was facing the wall and a corner of the white board, mosquitoes flying around- really disturbing! But i don't mind, i was kinda excited about the test.. Sucks, i actually slept at 2am and woke up at 5:40 which made me feel groggy and unfocused, a little bit shaky and sleepy. Everything went smooth, all tests were easy except i had a hard time reading them because my eyes were sleepy..

English. 45 minutes to finish the test.. Test-I was about 40 items in total i think.. Because i was kinda bit unfocused, i thought it was the only test in English and so i took my time to answer every item in test 1.. When i finally pulled the answer sheet, i was friggin' shocked, so stupid of me to forget about tests II-VI..

Say whaaaaaa? Holy shmokes this is the dumbest thing i have ever done!

The instructor wiped out 45 minutes into the white board and wrote "20"- means 20 minutes left to get the test done.. Mother of God why didn't i think about the other tests damn now i have to manage test II-VI within 20minutes remaining time for everything. *reads between the lines and shades like a boss*
Now the instructor finally wrote "0"- means zero minutes left to finish the test. "Pencils down! Stop shading everyone. If you continue on shading that will be considered as Cheating."
Darn i missed 15 items, that's Test VI of English.. Good going, Khei. Wasn't able to shade 15 tiny circles because of my unfocused and disoriented self.. *Sigh* #Friday The 13th 1st bad luck
As the instructor checked on my identification card- police clearance in particular, i was tensed he might ask for another i.d. Good gracious he did consider my friggin ugly piece of document.. Yahooo! #Friday The 13th 3rd luck

Math. 40 minutes to finish the test. When we were finally permitted to open our questionnaires i was like "whaat tha fackkk iz this shizz!" Analyzing every question, i knew i've seen them in books-which i just scanned and didn't took time to read!! Damn i could have answered them correctly! -regrets.. #Friday The 13th 2nd bad luck
But there were some items i'm sure i have aced because i did some computations based on my knowledge about it TEEHEE lol i admit i hate numbers especially numbers 'with' letters involved. LOL *derp mode*
Everything else such as Verbal and non Verbal went smooth, well, almost!
I even had a hard time analyzing verbal test because of my narrowed eyes, sleepy mode to the nth level.. Even hungry for having 3 1/2 hours straight examination without a break..

Speaking of BREAK...

We were given a "three" friggin' minute break to go to the restroom. "After exactly 3 minutes i shall lock the room and move on to the test." Imagine, there were about 9 girls inside the Female Comfort room, 3 toilets and three girls inside, plus another three waiting for their turn.. Two were fixing themselves at the mirror and i'm waiting for everyone to get their business done and let me have my turn to release my friggin peeeeee.
After i peed, i ran back into the examination room, turned the knob and to find out it was locked.. I was so tensed, so scared i probably couldn't get my test done.. But the student by the door unlocked the room, then i entered along with two other girls behind my back..

Mother of God, the feeling of being humiliated in front of many students, implied in their minds that i was 3 minutes late, what could i've done out there when i was given 3minutes max of break just to get my piss released. Damn, there were 3 toilets for three girls inside, plus 3 other girls waiting for their turn. i was the last person to get my relief for christ sake.. He shouldn't have locked the door.. Or, it's just another humiliating day for me. That's freakinnnn life. #Friday The 13th 3rd bad luck

Overall, everything went good.. I wasn't even expecting this day to be a positive & full of good vibrations :) I also have to thank my twin sister Beemah for reminding me about getting my short answer sheet coz i wasn't myself anymore, i was zoned out and staring blankly most of the times.. Prayers seem to be powerful. :)

A lot of good events followed, salvation for my family, good food served at the table- the fruit of the eldest sister's hard works..

Friday the 13th- Such a twisted yet Lucky day!

My Photography Enthusiasm

Photography: Another way of expressing Art.

Photography, my way of expressing Art.. I don't really have the talent in painting or drawing, but i'm pretty sure i get a nice angle and perspective in my photographs.. I've always wanted to own one of those DSLR cameras so i could have high definition photos for my captions but then i couldn't afford to have one.. Life is full of disappointment yes, but that doesn't hinder me from shooting and capturing candid moments and wonderful things around me..

Here are some of my photographs taken with Digital Camera- Samsung ST30, in which i stupidly left inside a taxi cab last year, and now out of my hands.. :(
