Feminism?

So, the other day I was talking to my friend and she showed be a bunch of Tumblr posts about feminism (‘cause she’s totally a feminist), and it got me thinking… is there a guy version of feminism?
Obviously, not everyone has the same opinion, and there are probably some people out there who think that women are more superior to men. Maybe in some countries, men are being abused instead of the other way around. What feminists are promoting is equality between men and women. They’re fighting for the rights of their gender, and I have nothing against that. To be honest, I support them, but we can’t stop the world from being cruel, can we? It’s possible but I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen any time soon…
Anyway, back to the point. Feminists are promoting equality, but where’s the equality in that when in some places, men are the ones being abused and the women are the ones who take advantage of them. To have REAL equality between both genders there should be equality EVERYWHERE. And equality may be something even Obama can’t whip up, but it is still possible.
What I’m trying to say is that there should be men fighting for their rights too. Let’s say in country A, the men are very abusive, the women there should be feminists, but in country B, women are abusive, men should fight for their rights too. If there are feminists, there should be “masculinists” too. (please think of a better term for this… “masculinists” aren’t too catchy)

Maybe?

Where have you been?

Okay, I know I haven’t updated in forever and that probably doesn’t matter yet because I barely have any views…but still. So for the last few weeks, I’ve been really busy. I guess all my projects and such have been getting in the way of me updating this blog… To be honest, at the start of this year, I thought I wouldn’t have any trouble in making this blog because I expected an uneventful year…but if you were my close and personal friend, you’d know that I’m living off of coffee, toast and two hours of sleep right now. The only 1 hour that I have for myself and I spend it in my home office with a cup of coffee nestling in my hand because my New Year’s resolution is just, oh so, important to me. Who needs sleep when you have coffee, am I right?

No, I’m not right. Don’t ever let stress get in the way of your dreams! And by dreams, I mean sleep. I was kidding about the 2 hours of sleep and coffee and toast stuff, but I wasn’t about the projects and such. I’m actually really, really busy right now. Anyway, I’ll have a new blog post about feminism up before you know it. (hopefully)

MAINSTREAM?

I have nothing against selfies. Actually, I support it. I would rather post a picture of what I’m wearing than a picture of the food that I just consumed. Let’s face it, not everyone can Google search their name and find there a photo of them looking hot as hell (I’ve tried it). I can’t go on Google and ask it how my friend did her make-up today. I can’ go on Google and ask what my mom is doing in the Bahamas. IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY.To me, if you post a picture of pasta, I wouldn’t care. I could stare at BILLIONS of pasta dishes on my computer and there’s a big possibility that whatever you just posted is somewhat similar to what I could see on the screen of my computer Selfies are different. There is only one me. Okay, maybe there is someone out there who looks exactly like me, but chances are, we don’t even dress the same way. And, I’m not saying you shouldn’t post that “tumblr worthy” picture of the sky you took. I’m not trying to stop you from making your enemies jealous of the gorgeous beach you’re sun bathing in (while he/ she is having horrible weather in her cabin home). I’m saying you should show your ex how much fun you’re having with your friends taking groupies… without him/ her. I love mainstream music. You shouldn’t stop yourself from enjoying these things just because it’s common. Believe it or not, our generation’s music is definitely the best it could ever be. Let’s say you love the classic Beatles song every no and then, but don’t limit yourself to just that. You have no idea on what you’re missing out on. Why can’t you get the best of both worlds? Whenever I put my IPod on shuffle, I surprised myself on how much music has developed over the years. The first song that came out was IT’S MY LIFE by Bon Jovi and then the next one was SAY SOMETHING by Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World. Just think about the emotional roller coaster I was just in. Shipping is a thing now. Honestly, I ship A LOT of people (real life and fictional characters). And you can’t just help that little flutter in your heart when your OTP becomes cannon (some hardcore shippers even cry). I don’t know how it works. I don’t know why some people can’t help loving the idea of two or more people loving each other. Maybe some they’re just waiting for someone whom they could ship themselves with.. I know I am.. Maybe?

HEY?

Basically, what I’m going to do is just randomly post stuff about.. well, about what I know  I guess? I’m kind of new to this whole thing and I hope that there will be someone out there who will actually read and commit to my posts.

One of the few things you should know about me is that I don’t have much experience in writing. I was the features editor for my school newspaper when I was in the seventh grade but it only lasted for a few weeks. And back then, all I knew about feature writing was that it was basically essay. I know the basics of news and sports writing, but other than that, I am lost.

This may also be a blog about fashion (not beauty). I love fashion. I even considered on being a stylist but I never had the guts to wear what I like. I am very self-conscious. I was depressed during high school (but not up to the point when I would physically harm myself or have suicidal thoughts) because I suffered a lot from acne and I’m extremely clumsy. I would get scars or wounds on my knees or around my legs. Every time I look at all the other pretty girls and how they choose to wear something that don’t fit them, I somehow always mentally make a whole new wardrobe for them. I once helped out someone who would only wear baggy jeans and a t-shirt. I recommended some cute lace skirts and two weeks later she had boys swooning all over her. She never did actually give me any credit and I remained invisible.

Like what I have said, I was (and still am) slightly depressed. I wasn’t able to wear what I wanted or to do what I wanted because I was always afraid of being judged. So, in this blog you may find inspirational posts/ thoughts about what I’m going through and if you’re feeling like you can relate to me, don’t hesitate to e-mail me. I would love someone to talk to.

I may be depressed but I do have friends. Last year, I had this male best friend and we were inseparable, but this year, we’re starting to grow apart. I’m getting busy with my workshops and other academic activities, while he leans more on the social things. He has tons of friends and I do to, but I only have 2 friends that I could actually count on, and he’s one of them. This topic is more personal to me, but I really want to tell someone about how I feel. Growing apart is not the only thing that’s happening between us right now, and i guarantee that I will be posting a lot more on this matter.

Music has always been a part of me. It had so many effects on me and how I handle what I do in life. I incorporate music into almost everything that I do. I study, work, shower, drive, make this blog post with music. I may just suggest some bands or songs to you and maybe review them as well. I also love to dance, but not in front of anyone. And I’m not saying stupid and silly dance moves, I mean like.. I could dance.

I’m not really sure how this blog will grow; what will I post about; how often I will post but I will probably do my best. I mean, I had fun just typing up this introduction.. so, i guess this will become a daily thing? Maybe?
