::MINI-Status Updates~2::

A few highlights on WHAT’S UP with me….

first I just want to tell all of DAIRYLAND how incredibly soft my hands are and its giving me quite a self esteem boost. My secret? its a SEACRET. ;)  

THIS YEAR is My Year of Performance Art?  OMG!! I am so honored and privileged to be one of the Featured Artists for a very special Artshow this coming March. I don’t even know how or what the heezy am I going to present to the world. I mean, as I’ve said in previous posts,  Art is truly a special gift bestowed onto me from God- [[the theme of the ARTSHOW.]]  But what seems to be holding me back in discouragement is that I am probably the only one who has not taken formal art classes.  Every piece of Art I do is a natural talent and very childlike imagination.  I know I should not doubt myself asking, “what if I’m not good enough for a local art show?” you know?  On a lighter note, Art has helped me break walls down as  ”brave and courageous” by revealing all of me through a piece of Poetry. Not sure if any of my friends saw the beauty finally shine inside and out of me. But I know and felt a new found confidence that has gained RESPECT.  Another major performance is my FIRST Tahitian Show, live at the Grove of Anaheim, this coming May. I will be selling tickets soon. The only thing that is going to raise my insecurities is family and friends support. Its going to be on a Sunday night and its expected to the biggest show of the year. PEEP OUT for an email  that will be sent out soon for all information and exclusive details for this upcoming special events. DAIRYLAND ART GALLERY. is closed for its 6 month Anniversary. Wooh-ooh!!! ;)  Hopefully, I’ll have a preview of what to expect for the Art show in March. Gallery Re-opens:: FEBRUARY 28,2010…..

VALENTINE CARDS.  Inspired by those Sweet hearts candies, this year I am handing out homemade Valentine cards for family and friends. With or without a special some one in their lives, every one deserves a  Valentine.  LOVE IS A VERB..so I’m SHOW ing my love to everyone special in my life. ♥ speaking of LOVE and all that blah blah blah…mush. >_< I think I just choked on it. *cough cough* one major lesson I learned from the movie, “PAANO NA KAYA” -don’t take love for granted especially if its been in your face the whole time.GOD BLESS that special person.  ’cause as the song goes,” you’ll never know what you got til its gone.”  In the flow of LOVE…why is PATIENCE first? In my experience of loving someone more than myself,  I’m the foolish idiot that has to take the sacrifice of his rejection. ::sigh:: No matter what I say or do. I’m INVISIBLE and this time I mean it. I’m crawling back into my ANTI-social shell for awhile. its the only way for me to let go and get over it…THE END!!.

BACK AT THE MUZEO. the Frog exhibit opens this weekend. wooh-ooh!! how exciting. I get to meet Jeremiah. (ya’ know “the bullfrog? was a good of mine…”

St. Ignatius Spiritual Exercises. Last December I was blessed to purchase the St. Ignatius Sprirtual Exercises CDs. But unfortunately, for me, the CDs seem to skip and scratch in the CD player of my car. SO…..I’ve imported Weeks 1-5 in my iTunes library so I can sync it to my Ipod and happily enjoy listening to it, where ever and when ever I want.  Chillaxin at TEa Station or at Borders transcribing everything I hear into notes. Anyways, I am back to the  Ignatian ways  of living life.  Devoting most of my time, to prayer and meditation. For me this is full on preparation for my GENERAL CONFESSION and I think it will happen sometime around my birthday but in timing for the LENT season.

the PLATE has been Revolutionized.

other than the usage of FOOD(the birth of what has driven me to this idea) . I never knew I would create  ART out of a plate.  Even more amazing how weirdly my genius artsy mind turned into a “MUSIC” and “BEST HAIR” Award. The purpose behind these Awards is what I SEE as the “BEST VERSION OF YOU” along with words of wisdom from Me through God. I think the scripture I choose was meant to be for them. I TRUST in that with all my heart and soul. Hopefully, it has brought inspiration  to be  “THE BEST VERSION OF YOU” on the daily.  Sorry dear subjects of Dairyland, I know I keep talking about the genius of the PLATE-tinum Award. I can’t help it, its my greatest creation that keeps my artisic energy on a happy positive flow. ANYWAYS,  research is  officially in progress. Get READY. Get Set for an edge of your seat PLATE-tinum Award event this coming (((MaRcH, MArCH, MARCH))). Anyone else excited? nominees? where you at? fans? (((helllooooooooooooo)) anyone home? HOLLAR!!!

p.s. BOO!  I forgot to take a photo my 2nd Award  ;(  but for now, until a photo is taken, we can take this  moment flashing back to(((September))))…*Austin Powers flashback sounds* lol.

p.ps. I hope that this Plate-tinum Award and the “Best version of YOu” idea does not play out to boredom.  In time, everyone will have one lovingly displayed in their rooms. Please let me know ahead of time if it gets to a boring point. thanks.

Art Gallery Closed for a Special Event.

Lately,Dairyland  has been a ghost town.  *cue hay stack and whirling wind sounds*. This has motivated me to close it down with good reason that my” Art Gallery” will be celebrating its 6 month Anniversary  * surprise! look out for the balloons!!!* complete with new art and poetry.  [please check it out whenever you get the chance to. your feedback makes me smile]. I don’t know how I am going to present  this new look to my loyal subjects of Dairyland ,but I’m feeling a slideshow of my artwork with a musical background.  And as my past video slideshow, it will most likely link to my Multiply site.

SO KEEP A PEEP for the new and improved GRAND Re-Opening of the Art Gallery  ((((SUNDAY,SUNDAY SUNDAY,FEB.28,2010))))

For the first time in Plate-tinum Award History…..

not one, not two, but 3 lovely  ladies will receive their very own  Plate-tinum Award. ::cheers! applause!! do the WAVE::

And the nominees are……*drumroll please*

 the MAMA, the Rock Star  and the SUPERMODEL.

PLATE-TINUM AWARD WINNERS will be announced this coming (((MARCH,March,MaRcH…..)))

 This  makes the Awardee ratio -3 for the SISTERS: YAY!!  ;) ♥  [technically, 5 if you include myself and a former choir member who was my Secret Santa (09). ] AND  2 for the BROTHERS.  HAHAHAHAHA!!

I know I am part of the  b-day month too. But I don’t think I”ve earned my way to deserve one.  The only thing I can ask in return is…hmmmm…nevermind. maybe if I have time, I can make one for myself. hee hee. Then again, maybe not. ::sigh::

anyways……

I wrote this late Sunday night/early Monday in the wee hours of the night. In a nutshell, all the negative energy has inspired me to write a poem of everything I’ve been feeling lately……………note: its only a draft.

Oh Torchered Soul,

as I walk this path of burning coals;

this battle of conscience I fight,

 helpless and  defeated

and left to be  alone.

Lost in the darkness

I feel this pain,numbing through out my veins,

Free

              falling

                                    into my SINful ways.

Oh my Torchered Soul….

Poetic Inspiration-part II

As promised Part 2–>I wrote a poem about myself  for boost up my own self esteem points. So to all subjects of Dairyland, I humbly apologize in advance if I seem a little vain yet delightfully sweet and charming. ;)

I AM Nettie,

how do I define me?

I am simply, quiet and reserved;

with  a twist of mystery,

the windows to my soul;

a world of art and poetry.

I AM NETTIE,

what do YOU see?

sweet and petite,

lovely silly me?

 the ‘BEST VERSION OF ME’

the girl with the ‘bumpy’ personality,

delightfully funny?

But in God’s eyes,  a Masterpiece.

Priceless and beautiful…

I AM NETTIE,

a sister and friend,

til the end;

we’ve got “500,25,00 minutes..”  everyday….

More than words,  I can be,

“you’ve got that friend in me”

Geez. I’m sorry,please forgive me

 being so corny;

I AM NETTIE,

my first love for  art,

was the poetic spieler from the start,

the “smiley” Storybook girl at heart.

I AM NETTIE,

a cup of tea?

or just forget about me.

Admirable and desirable to the least,

but hey, somehow,someway, I swept you

off your feet.

I AM NETTIE,

a plain as I can be,

in sweater and jeans

and a venti caramel iced coffee;

In this world, the only one I can be

 is simply complicated, SUPER  Nettie…..

Rainy Day = Poetic Inspiration.

So  as you can tell,  my poetic energy has been flowing on a powerful creative high. OMG!!! WOWZERS! O_o Even I’m surprised of what has been written lately. My goodness what is it about the rain that can release my lonely (and at times sad )heart? I know I’ve been in a hopeless romantic mode. maybe its ’cause SINGLE AWARENESS DAY is coming soon. To tell you the truth, it SUCKS to be ME, the girl who feels SUPER INVISIBLE to guys. the one who keeps  comparing herself to other girls who are prettier,smarter and funnier. I don’t know what the heck I did or said wrong?!! geez. as if I say anything at all. Everytime I  smile a little more, curly up the hair and good lord even the  breast enhanced bra.FAILED me. TSK! TSK!! :;shame on me::as for being myself? that’s a  BIG FAT SUPER  FAIL ON  ME TOO!!!   But before I go deeper to a point of overanalyzng myself on the subject. I’ll just break down my emotions into sweet and simple words….well. sort of…………..

I wrote two poems today. This is part 1 and part 2 will be posted for tomorrow’s blog.

Do you think of Me

with a cup of tea or coffee,

or whatever beverage it be,

do you like this flow of  creativity?

’cause in reality,

 he doesn’t notice me,

to be the inspiration to my poetry

a guy twice as shy to say HI…

his disguise behind those brown eyes,

wondering if he loves me…or hmmph maybe not.

Its been foolish  lil’ me, the girl too blind to see,

’cause the truth is,

he’s just not into me…..
