2289244941_ee1f9a624e_z.jpg


I have always loved taking pictures ever since I was a little girl. I would beg my mom crying to let her lend me the camera so I could take a picture of my favorite stuffed bear Kobe. I'm always the one at my family's parties taking pictures of my little cousin's cake covered face or of my tia dancing.Photography has always been an interesting thing I would like to pursue and expand my knowledge on it.  I recently read an article called Top 10 Tips for Great Pictures that showed me various methods  that could improve my photography skills like looking at my subject on eye level and locking the focus on my subject to get a crisp, focused picture that looks professinal. With these tips, I want to see how my photography improves with a more professional view that could impress your audience.

The Lord of the Rings triology: My Dorky Favorite Movie



Elfs. Dwarfs. Magical rings. The Lord of the Rings triology has this and much more fantasy filled creatures and places that pull the audience into its enchanting charm. I am not what you call a dork or geek but I really enjoy seeing all the graphics and special effects that bring the film to life leaving me at the edge of my seat following closely the danger and adventure of Frodo and his friends.

Editioral Cartoon-Chile Miners Stuck



It was barely today that I found out about the trapped Chile miners and the cave they have been stuck in for the past 2 months trying to survive. I don't know how 33 miners could have survived underground with limited supply of food and water but these people have certainly learned the survival way to stay alive that long. I think these people are very strong and patient despite the circumstance they are in being trapped underground for so long. I know the miners have communication with people above them and have provided videos to those on the surface saying they are ok. I recently found out that rescue is almost possible for these people as others are trying to figure out how to get them out through several techniques. I sincerely hope that these people underground can yet again see the light of day soon.

Senior Moments

As I walk the crowded halls trying to get to class, a pack of freshmen stand in my way talking and babbling about their friends. Suddenly a voice sounds out yelling, "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FRESHMEN!" Fellow seniors scream at the little fishes to move and the once congested halls suddenly disperse as they stand scared at the giant seniors. The seniors and I now walk past the little freshmen and head our way as we grin with pride. Another experience I had was when we had the pep a rally and the seniors(of course) won all the challenges while the underclassmen complained. I hope to have more senior moments along the way.
