Oscars---"Best" Animated Film

After today about the Oscars, I unfortunately found out that Brave won. Not that it's a terrible movie, but I sense a pattern that PIXAR tends to most almost all the time. And that get me a little ticked.
Wreck it Ralph, one of Brave's competitors, was a much better film (In my opinion), than brave. It was a bit different from what I usually saw and the story line was really enjoyable. As for Brave well...it was ok at some points, much different from an actual Disney film but it had some of the plot lines from Disney films

Examples

  • Mother turned into a bear and both mother and daughter learn lesson (the movie Brother Bear)
  • Merida (Main character) doesn't want to get married and live her own life (Disney Princess: Belle, Jasmine, and Pocahontas.)
Still I think that the Oscars are in total favor to the PIXAR for some reason.
I haven't been this mad at the Oscars since back on February of 2009 when Wall-e beat Kung Fu Panda.
*if you like the movie please don't get offended. It's an ok film but I just prefer KFP so much better.*

So anyways, Oscars, please oh PLEASE!!!! Stop with the whole PIXAR winning most of the time. There are other good films out there that actually deserve to win.

Theater/Acting

Hey everyone,

Well it's the weekend now for me. Monday's Bio lab (remember I had to cut open that pig) went better than I expected and I didn't have to even cut it, they cut up for you. THANK YOU!!! (Still smelled funny)
But this week was a pain since I had three test in the last two days. Luckily my Kung Fu class helps me relax a bit. And yes I'm actually doing Kung Fu (It's awesome!!!)

Now you may be wondering on the topic I'm going to talk about. Well as a part of my creative personality, I love to act and watch some plays/movies too.  I loved it ever since I was a kid and still enjoy it today. If I wrote a list of how many plays I've seen in my life...it would be too long. My most recent plays I've seen was for my acting class last semester, "The Merchant of Venice" and "Snow White: Red as Blood, White as Snow" (Both played at my college and both really well done)

Now I've been doing acting for years, even as a kid. So my stage performance (Acting and Singing) is a common thing for me. I even do some acting on my You tube account (http://www.youtube.com/user/vcm1824?feature=mhee *my channel*)But my goal in life is to be an animator. If I wanted to act, it's still possible.

Of course Broadway/Musicals is my most favorite one to see. And I've seen five in my life time.
*In order of when I saw them

  1. Phantom of the Opera {Saw in Detroit (Loved it)}
  2. Chicago { Saw in New York (Not the best performance I've seen, but like the story and song. Actress playing Roxie when I was there, TERRIBLE!!!)}
  3. Lion King {Saw in New York(Amazing, eve, did the workshop before watching it and learned a song and dance. Don't really remember it now, LOL.)}
  4. Wicked{Saw in Detorit(Wickedly awesome!!!)}
  5. Beauty and the Beast{Saw in Detroit(Beautiful)}
Of course I'm going to see my six show in three days. That's right. I'M GOING TO SEE THE LION KING AGAIN!!!!!  I got Tickets for it on Christmas and I'm super excited about it!!!!

Well I have to go. Counting down the days till I got to see the Lion King. YAY!!!!!

One week later

Hello everyone,

Sorry about my absence, been busy/lazy. but I'm back.

Here's some interesting (Or hopefully interesting) things that has happen.

February 14: Valentine's day

Nothing much to say since I don't really celebrate it. No boyfriend to celebrate with. But I gotten some Valentine's from of Grandparents and Parents (they don;t really count though.) but I can say I got a very nice valentine from one of my online friends, Benny. It was really sweet and made my day very happy.

Now you may be wondering on why I don't have a boyfriend or if I like anyone at the moment. Well not at the moment, been doing my own thing around here, plus classes. Not much time for a relationship for me.

Then again my reasons is well, I fear that I'll find that one person. Ninth Grade ruined it for me since I dated a guy for exactly 24 hours, and felt like I was part of a prank. I know it shouldn't really mean much to me now but something like that can scar you for life.

But I can't say I dislike romance. I just haven't found the one yet. And yes, I've faced with crushes, both the real and movie world.

Movie Crushes

  • Phantom (phantom of the opera
  • Jack Dawson( Titanic)
  • Alex (Madagascar {No so much now})
  • Mikey Simon (Kappa Mikey)
  • Po (Kung Fu Panda {And still do today})
  • Jack Frost (Only a little)


Anyways I better get going, Nonverbal Communication class is coming up. Then I'll have to face my worst fear in Bio Lab...Cutting open a pig for the second time in my life. It's gonna be as bad as watching "Super Size me" twice (Disgusting movie about a man eating nothing but McDonald's for a month. EWW!!!)

Begining of the School week

Hello everyone,

Well Monday rolled by and I had classes. It really sucks that your some sort of an Art major and all of the classes are on the other side of campus. Oh and with blasting wind to top it off, it's a pain. but it wasn't all that bad. I got some of my artwork done during 3-D art class and I just spent the time doing my drawing artwork.
Plus got out and done with my Nonverbal communication class thirty mins of class time. YAY!

And Bio Lab...UGH! I hate it!!!!! I'm not a science person. But we dealt with genetics so it wasn't that bad. But next weeks lab, it will be time to cut open a pig for two lab weeks. UGH!

But basically the rest of the night I worked on photoshop with my drawings. Like this one:

It's supposed to represent Bunnymund from Rise of the Guardians (Who is voiced by Hugh Jackman) meeting with Adam, from Real Steal (Which Hugh Jackman was in). It meant a lot to me since Real Steal was films mostly in Michigan, MY STATE!!! There was even one shooting not too far from my town. 

But anyways, I better get going, the school week has only begun, and I have Math in the morning...UGH!

Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese Year everyone,

It is now officially the year of the snake.

For the record, I'm not Chinese or have a Chinese heritage. I just have a fascination to the Chinese culture. I still question myself on how I could ever gain such interest to it. Art, history or was it Chinese food. I don't know.

Nothing much happened, but my mom came to school to help me organize my room since I live in a tight squeeze  but it's home for the school year. But the good thing about it is that I read that people tend to clean up their place for the spring festival a.k.a. Chinese New year. So I'm on track with that, plus the fact I'm wearing a red-ish shirt for today adds on the point too. But it's not really celebrating when you have fajitas for dinner instead of Chinese food. Oh well, two out of three. But if i were to have Chinese food, I would rather eat at Wah Wong's, a Chinese american restaurant in my home town that I could get great Gai Kow.

Well school's tomorrow, or hoping for no classes. It's raining here and I want it to freeze the roads. COME ON JACK FROST!!!!

Well gonna do some BIO Lab homework.

Writer's life

Hey people out there,

As I stated before, I write things as a part of my creative side. But I mostly do my work on Fanfiction.

What is FanFiction you may ask?

A site where people write stories based off of movies, books and video games.

As for me I mostly like writing on Kung Fu Panda. Why? It's my all time favorite movie. I like the animation, characters and story. Plus I like the main character, Po, since he's kind of like me. Fun, Lovable and Caring.

But anyways, the big hit on my writing is my "A Day wtih Kung Fu" series. it's about a girl that goes to the world of Kung Fu Panda and has Kung Fu adventure. Pretty simple story line and sort of a Crossover, but I personally love it and little people love it too. but it's my biggest hit.

I'm currently writing the fourth edition, second short story, of the series. I call it "Can we be friends?" just tells the story of Chrissy(my main character) and Tigress, dealing with their friendship; as for they are like cat and a dog if you put them in the same room.

Speaking of which, i better get working on it. I'm still working on Chapter 4.

Gotta go and check out the series on Fanfiction and the site on Wikia.

Getting Started

Hello everyone that is willing to reading this,

I recently watched "Julie and Julia", you know that based on the true story about a Julia Child and Julie Powell. I somehow got the sudden interest of starting out with a blog.

I've decided to talk about my life as a creative person. I'm an artist working on getting a degree from my college and wanting to work as an animator at Disney or Dreamworks (Which one, I'm not sure though. :D)
But I'm also an actor and signer (No professionally though though my online friends say I should be.) I also work on some video work as well.

So basically I was born with the gift of the love of arts. Any arts things relative really. But it's a part of who I am.

So what works have I done?

  • I'm the creator of a fanfic series on FanFiction. net called, "A Day with Kung Fu"
  • I do fandubs/covers on Youtube.
  • Post my artwork on DeviantArt.
But it's always so hard to all that stuff when you are in college. So I'm hoping to survive my life with this creative thought, and hopefully share the world with my creative thoughts.

So as of for now, keep reading my life.

Sincerely yours,

Victoria
