Daria Strokous

I saw her at Fashion TV yesterday, she's a model from Russia. I accidentally fall for her since that moment. I think that she's a very unique person. I love how her eyes seeing through the camera. As a model she also likes photographic and acting. All I can say is that she's amazing!

MARS

MARS, written by Furumi Soryo, is the most intriguing story that I’ve ever read. Do you remember TV serial titled MARS made by Taiwan which was staring Vic Zhou and Barbie Hsu? Yes, that was adapted from the Manga (Japanese comic). The story really touched my heart. I’ve seen the serial long time ago. It was aired in Indosiar TV station. I was in my second year of junior high school back then, it’s around 2005. In the Manga the boy name is Rei and the girl is Kira. I think the story was a little bit different between the serial and the comic.

I made this picture for an art assignment. Even though I didn’t draw the picture by my own –I took it from the web, I really impressed when I’m done this task. It was so hard to cut some parts of the picture to make a lining shape of it. I forgot what this style called, but I made this by turning the picture mode into stamp, on Adobe Photoshop.

When I saw this picture, I remember why I heart art so much. At that time I was addicted into comic. I almost saved all my money to buy some comics, then one time I couldn’t buy any refreshment at my school. But now, I rarely read that kind of book. Mostly I spend my time for reading a novel. Oh, how I miss that time, the time when I was so innocent and quiet. Just let’s see then which one I choose: drawing or writing or… maybe both?

The Scarlet Letter 'F'

This is my picture that I drew after reading The Scarlet Letter novel. You know, sometimes I draw something without knowing the purposes. You can call me a free drawing girl -the same terminology when you called 'a free writing person'. My hand moved so fast when I'm sketching random pictures. If you asking what genre I'm in, actually I don't know exactly what my style is.

Well, I want to tell you why this blog named Scarlet Letter 'F'. The book that I mentioned earlier is one of my favorite books. The Author is Nathaniel Hawthorn. It's absolutely an old story. It was published around 1800's. The story was about a woman named Hester Prynne who had a girl called Pearl. Pearl was born from an affair between Hester and her secret lover. Because of that affair, Hester was being punished at the prison for seven years. Hester wore a scarlet capitalized letter 'A' near her breast. The letter was glittery embroidered so that some people might think that was an accessory. Why she used the letter 'A'? Most people assumed that letter was for adultery and affair, but some might say it's for an Angel. Even though she'd done a big sin like that, it didn't mean that Hester was a whore. She had an angel face and neat behavior. She loved to help people around her. People often saw something on one side, nevertheless the truth will always be blurred.

So, why did I create Scarlet Letter 'F' blog? In my point of view, everyone has many sides that each of them can not be shown in the real life. Yes, you may call it an alter ego of me. Then the letter 'F' is actually an abbreviation for my main name (Fathimah), just like the letter 'A' you may refer the letter 'F' for everything that you think it's suitable. Well, I hope you like my blog :).

*warning: F is not for F***k, okay? lol.
