Audrey Hepburn, The Forever Legend

I had just draw a picture which is inspired by Audrey Hepburn in the movie of Breakfast at Tiffany's.

When people hear the name Audrey Hepburn, the words beauty, style and grace come to mind. Others know her as cute and flirty characters from movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Sabrina. However, Audrey’s life amounted to more than just a big screen entertainer or fashion leader. She was a dignified, compassionate and selfless woman who was beautiful beyond the physical sense. Long before Oprah, Madonna or Angelina and Brad, she helped children in Africa and Latin-America. Audrey Hepburn remains a beloved icon with proven success as an actress, dancer, singer, speaker and UNICEF’s most famous Ambassador. She lived her life by the philosophy of serving others. As she once said, “Remember; if you ever need a helping hand, it’s at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others” (Bourgoin). Audrey Hepburn dedicated herself to aiding those in need while living a remarkable life as a true humanitarian and an inspiration to people around the world.

She won many awards for her works including an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Roman Holiday, a Tony Award for her performance in Ondine, a Theater World Award for her work on Broadway in the play, Gigi, amongst many other honors. During these times, she became an idol of many young girls and women who admired her unique, elegant style. The public truly adored her talent, beauty and glamour. Audrey was proud of her accomplishments; however, she felt that she needed to do more with her life.


Hepburn knew she could use her fame to help others. The press constantly asked the movie star for interviews and to give her opinions on a variety of topics. She became well-known for her wisdom and for having a positive outlook. Audrey’s basic philosophies of having a sense of self and personal style, a good attitude, living without regret and working hard were often publicized. Meanwhile, Audrey also began talking about “having a purpose” and “giving back.” Her desire to help others became apparent. While many fans just wanted fashion advice, she was more focused on sharing deep and inspirational thoughts, or informing society about the terrible conditions that children in Africa were forced to live in.

Growing up without a father, living through the Nazi invasion, and dealing with the demands of fame, all contributed to her dedicated work ethic and personal outlook. Marked by challenges, her young life taught her many things about hope, commitment, and serving others in a pure and selfless way.

Audrey Hepburn was more than just a Hollywood star, she was an inspiration who lived her life in the most meaningful way.

She is fondly remembered saying, “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness, and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone” (Keough 163). These are the words of a true hero.



"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other." ~ Audrey Hepburn

You Are My Greatest Valentine Gift

Day by day
Year by Year
And I start realizing the greatest Valentine's gift is not about the flowers or diamond ring

To found someone who truly love you
To found someone who willing to spend their whole life with you
He will be the best Valentine's that I ever received

Finally understand the statement of
"Everyday is my Valentine's if we found the right person to fall in love with... "

and yes...
My greatest Valentine's gift is you. <3

Social Media Is Not A Diary

'Guess she's better than me... plus my cat just died and I'm eating dinner alone, again. FML"

You've seen these status messages before and you think one thing:" Ugh. Too much information."

Remember. Social media is not a diary.

We concede, the rise of social media in our lives in recent years has brought about plenty of good. You can congratulate distant friends on their life accomplishments and milestones in seconds. You can't knock that.

But social media has also brought about a swell of oversharing or what we like to call "bleeding in Twitter (or Facebook)." Unless you've spent the last five years avoiding the Internet, you know what we're saying.

You see the status messages every day, the passive-aggressive updates that no one is supposed to understand but everyone does to some degree because the three before supply you with viable context clues.

Hell, most of us are guilty of this to some degree. It's easy to forget that the thoughts you share on a social network are available to hundreds of your "friends' or followers to dissect. It;s a lot easier to type our feelings than verbalize them.

But here's the best advice we can possibly give in relation to social networks and dating: Anytime you want to overshare in regard to your dating life, pretend that you have three Who Wants To Be A Millionaire lifelines. It's best that you phone a friend. The 50/50 might get you out of trouble, but avoid it, too. Never ask the audience. Nothing good can come of it. And you know what? Your friends don't want to hear it. It's uncomfortable.


Here are five sample statuses you should not share on Facebook in relation to your relationships , romantic or otherwise:

1. "Just went from 'divorced' to 'single'. Guess I wasn't the best husband. Hope to learn from my mistakes."
What are you thinking of? This is not the type of thing you announce on social media. What are we supposed to say? Are we supposed to "Like" this? What comments are you looking for? We hope you remember that all your friends/followers - including co-workers - will be gossiping about you immediately. Maybe even approaching you to see if you're okay. You're purposely begging for attention, aren't you?
2. "Not sure why we stopped being close. Missing you and crying."
Pathetic. If you really want to get your message across to one person (and you really shouldn't have to beg), just send a text or call them.

3. "Cheaters never win. That's why I just smashed his flat screen."
Psycho! The first thing everyone will think: Sorry you got cheated on but the fallout is between you and your significant other.

4. "Wife and I just had a fight about her communicating with her college boyfriend. I say it's not cool. Am I right?"
Discussing your relationship issues with you most trusted confidants is okay. But I doubt you have hundreds of confidants, If you're having issues and you need to vent, talk to a good friend. But keep the details away from the masses.

5. "In a relationship". "single". "In an open relationship".
If you're changing your relationship status every other week, it says something about you. You're probably unstable, or at least that's what most of you Facebook friends think. Unless you're engaged, it would probably be best just to leave it off.


Private things should stay private. Get a journal, call a friend or go to therapy, but please stay away from the Internet. Your social network will thank you. - The Kansas City Star/McClatchy-Tribune Information.

It Doesn't Matter


There's definitely someone in your life will not care about your feeling...

IT DOESN'T MATTER...


Take a deep breath...

My life is in my hand...


and it belongs to me...

The most important is...


I DO CARE ABOUT MYSELF!
