Marilyn Monroe

One of the most misunderstood artists of all time' that's how a friend and me named her lol.

Marilyn Monroe mostly identical with sex, sexy blonde, skirt being blown by wind, or her affair with the Kennedys. Simply said, most people take her as a typical pretty but dumb blonde, sadly.

If you read her autobiography, her writings, her biographies written by others, her stories and how she navigated around racism, royalty rules, the concept of beauty and skin color, or any deeper social issues, you'll get the different sides of her that never got proper spotlight from the media. She was actually a great thinker, someone who has a mind ahead of her time.

I'm pretty lucky that when my parents bought my first pc around 2.5 decades ago, the first disc that they provided me was the biography of great people, from pilot to actresses. I'm lucky enough that I've known Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, or Ella Firzgerald, long before I knew of how the media portrayed them.

Most rules are benefitting the ones with built power. That's why sometimes, you have to think out of the box and play without the rule book.

Now

H ello. You are on my Now page and these are the things that I'm currently focusing on: - Healthy, balanced, and mindful living is my first priority now. - I was hospitalized for a month from August - September 2022. Some viruses attacked a part of my brain and brain stem which causes imbalances on my motoric gravity, plus I had a gout attack for the first time in my life. My infusion had to be sewn on my neck cause the meds need to be inserted through the central vein for three weeks straight. I promised myself to never be that sick ever again, and determined to change my whole lifestyle, including to prioritize myself, my health, and my peace first. Since then, I have lost 22kgs, have been maintaining my uric acid level below 5.5, manage my cholesterol level down to 146, maintain my normal fast glucose level at 85, and been eating, exercising, and living healthier, plus doing so many changes in life including the way I sleep and raising my water intake level. - Creating intentio...

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...

To Be Content

"Do you ever sit on a cafe, watching people, and think how we all are just kids trapped in adults' body, playing kids tea party game? Like.. some people will act and talk so big, as if who they are and what they said, were big deals, while we all can easily smell and sense those insecurities?" "Yeah, some people want to be seen as so important. I saw some of those people at the cafe the other day, too. But I'm just a quiet observer, and it's kind of interesting to see how different cafes attract different kinds of people." "I agree. Observing, that's what I always do, too. Those kind of cafes and those kind of people always made me feel grateful of the life that I have now. That I need no one to impress (or to be impressed with me), have no importance to boast of anything, have nothing to cover or hide, and feel completely free and content with myself. To be surrounded with only the people I care the most, and care about me, without the needs to...
