The past few months have been critical. My last post (written in October last year) was written while I was preparing for one tough battle which I do not hope to repeat ever again. I took the bar exams. Yup. In between my lull moments I was surfing the web, wary of the piles of notes, materials, books and whatchamacallits screaming for my attention. But something else screamed for my attention -- a fondness I have developed over what others consider a shallow source of happiness... Aesthetics. ;-)
Wikipedia defines Aesthetics as , "...a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of beauty, art, and taste, and with the creation and appreciation of beauty.[1] It is more scientifically defined as the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes calledjudgments of sentiment and taste.[2] More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature."
Mine would have to be the simpler version of Aesthetics though. It's a shallow as my epidermis. ;-) I love make-up and if I didn't want to become a lawyer (and if I weren't too busy chasing that dream) I'd prolly be an aesthetician. There is so much truth in the contention that looking good makes one feel good. For my part, with the occasional apprenticeship training I get from doing the make up of my younger sisters and a few other willing "guinea pigs"(**peace**)heheh, the feeling I derive from helping them look good is incomparable. Such experience enabled me to come to grip with the meaning of the word "surreal." Yes, make-up and all its wonders gives a "surreal" feeling. Albeit fleeting, playing up with make-up is really, truly, rewarding.
This blog is thus dedicated to "surrealism" -- one that stems from playing and exploring the wonderful world of -- make-up (or something like that)! =)
