Jasmine Villegas

Celebrity Piece

This is indeed a funny thing, I promised myself I wouldn't touch the computer till after my exams, but I simply SIMPLY have to. This stress is too much for one tiny speck of me to hold and carry for another week... So, I decided too!

I never really did any piece on any person in particular, but a part of me actually feels like I NEED to do this. Its been a twirling bout of thought in this nut I call a brain long before I actually thought of starting this blog on a fine march. The title says the name, but do you know the person?

Jasmine Villegas born on December 7th 1993, is an American Youtuber of Filipino and Mexican descent. I would guess most of those who know her, know her through Bieber Boy and his Baby Video. The girl he was chasing? That one? In the baby video?? Not the other ones, just the Baby one... In case you have not sensed the much added sarcasm with a good dose of good ol' humor, it was present. Yes, indeed, Bieber and his Babes... How catchy. I don't mean to sound rude or against him, I do love his music and it's forever upbeat lyrics about how a boy feels about a girl, and the ENDLESS times I see GIRLS singing them...

Re-Enactment: Walking down the street a beautiful girl sings.. There's gonna be one less lonely girl... me + You, I will tell you one time, Shorty's like an eenie meenie miney mo luhvuh... one time, one time..

Singing songs about how a guy feels about a girl...

I have to admit, Bieber Boy is rather the charmer, and his songs have catchy beats with good tunes that keep listeners on the go. A sweet easy listening, fun and upbeat playlist. Even my Indie friend likes him.

ENOUGH ABOUT BIEBERBOY! THIS IS ABOUT JAY V!

Yes, unfortunate for you Bieberettes and dudes, its time for who I'm really taking about.


From outlets advertisments ranging from Target to Macy's, Mary-Kate and Ashley and Hillary Duff, to Macdonald's and more, Jasmine has been featured in them. She has starred in family-friendly fun (say that 20 times on a spinning chair) sitcoms like 'My Wife and Kids', and 'That's So Raven', two of my favourite hilarious series (especially the latter). Since young, JV has been performing and modeling, then, doesn't that just spell out her career?


It didn't start there, and I'm proud to say it didn't, or the Jasmine I would see, wouldn't be the inspiration she is to me now.


In 2007, the peak period where majority of the first generation Youtubers move from just viewers to directors, Jasmine Villegas posted her videos, sprouting from a fun-loving and bubbly girl, to an older, more mature and experienced teen she is today. The months went pass, and the videos increased, her soulful covers garnered the support of many other Youtubers, and the start of her growing fan base, or more like friend base..

My sudden love for music in 2007, and singing(credits to Bianca Ryan) got me to use Youtube more than I knew how to, and by late 2007, I was viewing the growing and nurturing of current great Youtube artistes like Savannah Outen, Jessica Sanchez, Thia Megia, Charice, Tiffany Alvord, Mia Rose and the only guy (NOT BIEBER BOY) Nick Pitera and his lovely rendition of A Whole New World. They all grew a fan base in Youtube, where I happy to say, they never stopped singing to. However, growing fan bases and lack of management and yearning of ambition equates to a painfully difficult life for these artistes in hopes to achieve their dreams. Thus, responding to fans become difficult when unlike celebrities, they have no assistants at their beck and call.

Over the years since I stumbled upon Jasmine Villegas, she never stopped showing appreciation to her fans, and even responded to them. Constant love, care, and attention to people brings about more friends than fans, and thus the Jasminators were formed. Definition: Jasmine Villegas supporters who won't stand for haters, and back JV up anytime. Isn't it such a great Supporter-Supportee relationship? When you TAKE the time out for others? I think so anywho.

Learning she was only 11(actually younger) when she started out to fulfill her ambition, she has since been a role model to me. How you can have fun in doing what you love, and loving the people who love you all the same.

However, I do get a little annoyed when people go, did you see the Bieber girl? Who is she? and she's labelled as the Bieber girl. I mean, wouldn't you like to be known for what you do and love than who's music video you were in? If you don't already know who I'm talking about go watch the behind the scenes of Baby!

She is undeniably talented and confident. She has a big heart, and has been helping non-profitable charities for kids her age, has been performing in various schools and also sung the national anthem for her home country in the Phillipines, and also the states. She has proved to be versatile and flexible, confident and ever-giving, with her supporters as income (emotionally)

Since last year, JV has came up with 2 hits, revolving around boys and relationships. This time, its a GIRL singing bout a boy, so if we GIRLS sing it, its gotta sound better than Bieberboy's BOY stuff right??

So ROLL OVER BIEBER! The rise of JASMINEV has JUST BEGUN! Mwahahaha!

To me, Jasmine Villegas is a true representation of despite how YOUNG you are, you are never too old to dream, and never too YOUNG to do what you love, and never too YOUNG to map out your FUTURE. That with hard work and endless perseverance, along with a heavy dose of love for what you do, you can do anything. Anything's Possible!

Therefore, Dream Big, Dream Now.

Be it Fashion, Music or Writing. (Directed to ME. teehee)
or dancing, acting and sports, or modelling or counselling, or whatever WHATEVER WHATEVER your passion is, grasp onto that fragment, and piece it to your puzzle so you'd have a clear picture of your life.

Please do support Jasmine Villegas, and her upcoming album. Here are two of her recent hits I do love!

Shoes of Prey ft Spurred.

The title is quite uncanny. Yes, Shoes of Prey. The funny thing was the word 'prey', by definition, a prey is - (noun) an animal hunted and killed by for food; a victim or quarry. Quarry being a person or thing being chased or sought. So in other words, Shoes of Hunted, maybe hunted means those being sought after, like celebrities and such, but I think, Shoes of Prey, is sooo much better than finding your favourite celebrities' shoes or what not, its like shoe haven for those who can't get enough of shoes...(Not really me, but..) Here's an info about Shoes of Prey >>> aboutSHOESofPrey

This would be a step by step guide of how to start of shoes of prey!

This is the first page, click the Start Designing Button, or Click Here! 

You should reach a page like the following....>>>

This is where the fun starts! There are already basic cuts for a shoes, for example,

Left to Right, Top to Bottom: Gladiator Heels, Round Toe with Platforms, Round Toe, Wedge, Pointy Toe, Ballet Flats.

And, you come to a page looking like....

A plain template is given, ready for you to decorate, recreate, color, recolor till the cows come home.

Play around with the features. You can change to look of the shoes with each design! I chose Closed toe with top patch. Covered back with a mary jane strap. Finished with a bow.

You can change the color, but the colors vary depending on the texture and materials you use. These materials range from 

Fish Skin

Snake Skin
Soft Leather
Shiny Leather
Patent Leather
Suede
Hair

Click Purchase and you're good to go!

You will come to your shopping cart, listing you design and the price! Click Click Click all the way!! 

You can click the pictures of your shoes to arrive at a summary page of the design like so...

You can even share it on social sites like Twitter and Facebook!

You can change your currency so it is easier for you, however, the downside is that there is no worldwide currencies. Only a limit, but they DO ship worldwide! Should you not be satisfied, there is a money back guarantee when you return the shoe, but you do have to pay the shipping fees. 

For more FAQs of Shoes of Prey, Click >>> ⒻⒶⓆ

Personally, I cannot express how amazingly genius this idea is! I believe there are many out there who would definitely agree, that finding the perfect shoe for the perfect outfit is incredulously impossible at times. There's only so much a shoe designer can design, and there's so much MORE in the heads of shoe fanatics (again, Not always me). You can buy all the brands you want, Jimmy Choo, Alexander Mcqueen, Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, Chole, Fendi, ANYTHING, but there's always this one shoe you're dying to find, and you search from Salvation Armies, to Second Hand stores, to Blogshops, retail outlets, the list goes on. You just cannot find that pair, just THAT pair. It becomes immensely unsatisfying and annoying, the shoe fiend breaks out. You cannot stop buying shoes in search for THAT pair.

Shoes of Prey has offered an answer. A design website for those who want to recreate the shoes in their imagination. The reality of the shoe and the design are like this example, a nude looking high-heeled shoes. They are actually pale pink and pink leather. You can visit the gallery for more designed shoes, just roll over the pictures, and you'll see these shoes' graphic counterparts.

It is simply amazing, awe-inspiring, ingenious, magnificent even!

However, every amazing idea has its loopholes. This designing site only allows fanatics of wedges, ballet flats, high heeled peep toes and the trend-making gladiators. If you can't get enough of stilettos, boots or wicked looking Prada shoes (You know, the futuristic ones), you'll have to settle for second best for now. Those wicked, crazy and imaginative awesome ideas, are too much for the real world to handle, so keep those amazing thoughts in your head, and start a Crazy shoe site! If you do, be sure to email me the link so I can plat with your site!

This Shoes of Preys post was inspired by Youtube Guru Juicystar07's video. Her giveaway is over, but I felt this video deserved some credit, so please do watch out for such giveaway!



On the whole, this site receives a ★★★★☆!

I have to be honest here, I was a bit angry 2 days ago. I was posting this full long, well paced, well thought out piece of writing, and I am so frustrated because when I tried to publish, there were technicality problems, and it was not even saved. You can NOT imagine how pissed I was after spending two whole hours on a post. (Yes, I do take THAT long, every piece means something to me, and I am not going to post for postings' sake) I was a bit upset for a minute, sad, believe it or not, it was quite depressing, and I just wanted to give up there and then, but I took a short break, and then today, when I decided to look at my blog, just to read it, (Yes, I do read my own work!) I saw 4 MORE followers!

Firstly, I want to state that this post is indeed a thank you for those who follow me. If it weren't for these additions to my following list, I may have waited even longer to post. I won't deny, I love having followers, it is nice to know that people are reading my work. I believe fellow bloggers may agree with me, or maybe its just me. I have already stated in my previous post how grateful I am to have my first two dear followers, and I  couldn't agree and more, or less with "The more the merrier". Who ever came up with that, is absolutely right in the topic I'm driving at.

So this is a great big thank you for following me, Sharifa, Aia. E, Bianca - CACTUSFASHION and Kylene, and especially Aia E. and Bianca for the first words of encouragement! It is a pleasure to see such comments! Thanks for being such nice people!

My mood: ☻☻☻☻☻


P.S. Food for thought, how do you do your shopping planning?? - As in like, when you have a budget, and you want loads of stuff, what do you plan to buy first?




P.P.S. Any suggestions for blog topics? -if you would like to read my views on certain topics, just comment below with a link to the article/site/picture/post etc.!


P.P.P.S. What would you buy for an older brother-like friend's birthday? - For an older guy friend... Shoes? Guitar? Cologne? Bagpack? 


P.P.P.P.S. I don't want to leave this post. Please rate it! 

A Day Out, Night IN, and Followers!

It was a bizarrely cool morning today, little did I know what the weather had in store for me. Bullets of rain. After some lessons and a test, I went home to change, and immediately left for the shopping mall to meet up with a couple friends, hang out, and return to one of their houses for a movie marathon. More like a micro-mini movie marathon. I watched 1 and a half movies. Man of the House and Night at the Museum.

If you like comedy, romance, thriller and family all rolled into one? Watch those two. Its really a good watch, especially Man of the House.

I thoroughly enjoy going out, walking a bit, just hanging out. Even if it were by myself. Where I come from, Teen Vogue, isn't exactly everywhere. I go to nearly every public magazine booth, kiosks, and even drugstores. None. Zilch. Some kiosk and booth owners, never HEARD of it. I was suffering. I was craving for a new copy so badly. Now you see, I'm not the 'regular' reader. I read as I flow, as I feel, as I have the urge. I had the urge for some time already.

It was such a beautiful day, despite the rain, and so, I go on my mission of observation, critique, and self thoughts. Haven't you sit on a train, only to realize time literally FLEW because you were making comments to yourself about the person sitting next, opposite or near you for that matter? Well, I'm the kind of person that does that, and believe me, it IS quite therapeutic. It is one of the many MANY reasons I enjoy going out alone, or be on my own. Its also quite healthy for a person in general to be isolated from a familiar social circle.

The latest trends on the streets today, are Doc Martens, or Doc Martens look-a-likes, or boot-like skater/army shoes. They are often, in my opinion unglamorously paired with super short shorts like so...

Disclaimer: I have nothing against this girl of her dressing,

Just that I see people dressing like this a lot. (I like her hair)

Yep, there were certainly shorter shorts. To be honest. I don't quite entirely love how the pieces are being brought together. In a way, they should balance out, but they just stick out. Its not the color, I LOVE COLORS. Its just something thats not quite right about the outfit. Its kind of clashy. Like how the shoes are high but not too high clashes with the shorts because the shoes are so heavy, and the outfit's almost too simple. Its like you're surrounding the attention on your shoes, when your outfit should go hand in hand, and not stick out so abruptly in one place, or maybe that's the look some people are going for, but I don't quite get/see it.

I do want my own Doc Martens. I do admire them, but just not how their paired. Doc Martens are gonna take the trend wind by a swift whoosh! So catch them in time if you want the IN, or be like me, and get them whenever, cause you can never go out of your own style. Its YOURS!

Here are a couple Doc Martens I love you may consider getting yourself!

I thought these were really beautiful colors that swirl together, but I didn't really love the heels. I thought it could've been a wedge or something, but not a real visible heel. The colors are however, extremely matchable with nearly any dark shades for clothes. Best for winters and autumns.

I love the floral yet vintage feel to this one, certainly something I would consider in my choices of Doc Martens. It reminds me of wallpaper patterns, which worries me, cause once they're matched wrongly, it becomes sort of an eyesore, but the dullness of the color is a bonus that softens the patterns. Dull = GOOD in this case.

Do not tell me you don't love this!!! Everything about it say DIVA. From the gold to the lace, to the.. Okay it's just the GOLD. I mean, who doesn't lovelove GOLD? GOLDIVA! Hah! 

This simply reminds me of ice and hockey skates, so I simply HAD to put it here. I totally thing Doc Martens should make hockey skates. It would be soooo IN! or not, but I still think its cool!

Aside from the Invasion of the Martens, I've been really into big fluffy things you wrap around your body. Yep, you've guessed it! A BATHROBE, or ROBE, or simply. SLEEPWEAR in general.

I've been wearing a fluffy white and pink Hello Kitty bathrobe because I'm cold, and it simply is oh so comfortable! So these are my picks, and also somewhat what I want,

Let's start with the Night Wears I simply love.

I've not chosen any nightgowns because right now, I'm focusing on everything Juicy Couture. I know many people love those kinds of translucent and airy and almost transparent nightgowns or negligee. I like them too, but I'm 15 years old, and I really like airy comfortable clothes that don't freeze me to death in an air-conditioned room. I will definitely buy the nightdress with the big word JUICY. It's just so comfortable looking, I like it. If I have spare cash, maybe I'll buy the middle pajamas. Its so cute and patterned with eyelashes. The last one is the Dot-Charm pants. Its definitely a must have for a sleepover. Its just so bright It'd be utterly beautiful in pictures.

Moving on to the robes, the highlight of this Sleepwear.

Ralph Lauren Short Terry Robe. I WANT WANT WANT!

Monogrammed

Original Pony

I personally can't pick which I like more. Pink or White, Monogrammed or Pony-fied. Which would YOU like???

Juicy Couture's picks... (These are ALL the Robes I found on JCouture, so..)

So honestly, I love the first one, pale pink. They all look simply comfortable don't they??? I think I would settle with Ralph and tell him I'm gonna buy him. The robe I mean. Its so funny that so little brands have any wide range of bathrobes at all. They should cater to all needs. Don't you think?

----------------------------------FOLLOWERS!!--------------------------------------

Yes! I have 2 Followers!!! I'm so happy at least some people are reading my blog. (: Hopefully. I don't think I could have done it without Google, and Teen Vogue, and a lot of inspiration from anyone and everyone and anything. I now know how Youtube Gurus feel when they have subscribers. No matter how little, how few, it just feels nice to know someone took the liberty to click the follow button, showing that they do want to read next time, whether they do or not, is a totally different thing, its just really nice and comforting. Like how facebook is an ego booster to narcissists, having followers is like my own little powerhouse of inspiration. Something I look forward to nearly always when I post. Its like I've reached out to someone I don't even know, and it just feels nice.

Having your first follower is a massive thing if you've just started out your blog. Some people post for years, but nobody follows, and that, in my opinion, is quite sad. Every writer has a reason for starting out a blog. They are not simply BLOGGERS, they are writers. Every inch of their finger tips is filled with a writer's vibe to type, write and reach out.

I have let this blog remain anonymous because I want to reach out and connect with more than just people I know. I want people with the same deep interests, and the same feelings about situations, or different, to see me. To see my point. A blog is when you write your inner thoughts, feelings, maybe daily activities, but thats entirely up to a person. I just write what I feel of, about, towards, for, from at that moment. 

The best thing about blogging next to the 'reaching out' part, is that there is simply no rules at all. Who wouldn't want a blog, if that's how simple it can be?? I know that's reason number 2 for starting a blog.

So here are my 10 reason of why I blog.

1. To reach out to people of different country and opinions

2. There is no rules or must-do books. (As long as under your country's law there is an exception of defamation etc.)

3. Now that I have followers (This goes under number 1 too!), to motivate my followers in one way or another.

4. To discuss my random views with random people who randomly chance upon this little self expression of a blog.

5. To prove to not only others, but myself, that there's more to me than me.

6. To comment, critique and write.

7. To practice my writing skills, and perhaps go somewhere far.

8. Cultivate my interest in journalism and editorial, though I don't know how editorial can come under this.

9. To make something out of nothing.

10. blogging with no personal family-friend support.

Through it all, I think I've grown a little each time I blog, like putting a piece of me out there for the world to see, and I learn from others too.

I want to thank peaceloveandconverse170 whether you know me or not, and Dani for being my first 2 followers respectively, but because of you two, regardless, I've been spurred to work harder, and write my thoughts better. If thats even possible. Anywho, smiley for yous! (:
