I want to be like my idol: Angelina Jolie. She’s beautiful (no explanation about this), sexy (especially her thick lips but I don’t want that kind of lips, I’m satisfied with mine), charming (or to be more accurate, tempting?), independent (look at how she drives an aeroplane), has a wide knowledge (I think her character as Lara Croft had brought her to the different world outside America and opened her knowledge awide), and has a super-high passion of life (maybe my opinion about this, too, is influenced by Lara Croft). She’s just unique. Something special inside her just makes her different from other Hollywood stars. She’s an extraordinary girl.
And those tattoos, I’m certain she was one who inspirate me to make myself one. But unlike her, the dragons are outdated when I made the tatts and I personally like butterfly and the heart shape and also the tribal style. So instead of making such exotic images, I made something more personal to me, something that can describe ‘me’ through images.
I once liked Jennifer Anniston. She was my goddess of beauty icon. She has the nice smile, represents the image of ideal woman, and has the perfect hair style. And not long after my admiration for her, she got the sexiest man alive: Brad Pitt. It completed my admiration toward her. But then, I got bored. Her appearance, her husband, her life, all of them made her a boring profile and made me had to change my idol to Paris Hilton (for her style—head to toe—and her multination hotels), Mandy Moore (I fell in love with her since A Walk To Remember and especially in How To Deal for her girl-next-door thing), Gwen Stefani (I’ve always her fan since Don’t Speak for her bold style) and… Angelina Jolie.
I forgot when I first noticed her. But I like her more and more since Tomb Raider, Original Sin, and how I heard she’s the spokeperson for UN. And how she adopted kids (I’ve always thought I’d adopt a kid or two in the future cuz I don’t wanna have my own babies) and how a perfect independent woman she was back then—exactly the way I wanna become.
Then there was the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith which I thought was a perfect pairing combination of the actors: my most favorite male actor and my idol actress. Just like me, Brad Pitt changed his ideal woman for his life, too, to her.
What I really love about Angelina Jolie is, she’s always looks elegant and casual at the same time, looks so comfort with herself, loves and cares her kids so much, and—not like any other woman—seems so confident with herself, not really cares whether she has Billy Bob Thornton or not beside her. She seemed so comfort with herself. She could be anything, anyone, be anywhere she wanted to.
Maybe that’s what Brad Pitt saw in her, the extra-confident woman with great passion for life, someone who is comfort with herself but doesn’t place herself over anyone else. She really does something to the children, to the world. She makes the world a better place with true actions.
I was interested in boy-scout thing when I was about 5-6 years old. I quit then, but it didn’t stop me to like social life or to help people around me. I liked the UNICEF once when I was a kid. Long before my dad joined one of UN’s organizations, I’ve always interested on UNICEF, WHO, WWF (I don’t really like animals but I support the organizations that protect them). And now, I know I’d have something big with UNICEF in the future. I hope I’d be able to do ‘miracles’ for those children, to give people something they never or lack of having.
Angelina Jolie’s style (appearance-style to life-style) has been the ideal style for me. But I’d do it all with my own way. I’m not a big star or married to Brad Pitt like her. But I’m sure I have something special inside of me that I can give to the world. What is it? I dunno yet, but I’d give my effort to achieve the goal. I really hope I can get to that point. That way, I don’t have to regret of not having the ‘normal family’ like any of my friend’s gonna get.
