I feel very content that this project is finally over. Some frustrations that we had were little things such as, people flaking on recording and just lagging. A big mistake we made was waiting till last minute. I think we should’ve edited the video a lot more. I think we needed more scenes. We also wanted to have shots that were not at school, but we weren’t able to because we were working last minute. We didn’t perform either because we thought that are song wouldn’t sound right when people were missing. We are very relieved that it is over now. Im not sure if our next project is going to be difficult. I hope i get put into a group with some of my friends.
Reflecting on Our Career Exploration.
I thought our visit to Electronic Arts was okay. It wasn’t really what I expected. I think our tour guide was in a rush, so we didn’t get to have time to any hands-on work. We didn’t really get to observe the actual making of a video game. The employees that worked there had many benefits. They had a full sized NBA court, a tennis court, a gym, and an arcade room. Too bad they didn’t let us use any of them We didn’t get to interview that many people. When we were asking questions, I think they knew what they were talking about even though they weren’t prepared. I thought the explanation of how a game is made from the start to the finish product was a good presentation. I really wanted to see a game actually being made in the process. I thought were were going to be able to eat at the food places that they had over there, but we didn’t. I think my favorite part of the trip for me was the the game store. They gave us employees discounts on games that would be priced at 50$-60$, and we only payed 10$-20$. I got a basketball game called NBA Live 2010. I think we were only there for about an hour and a half. I wanted to stay longer and do more activities like play in the arcades, but we weren’t able to. We should’ve have been able to interview more people than just the tour guides, because I think that if we were able to interview actual employees we would know a lot more information that what the tour guides and the presentation gave us, also in more detail. By giving us more detail, we would have a better understanding of how video games are made step by step.
Thankful…

I am thankful for having music. Without music, life would be very boring. There many kinds of music for any kind of mood. I am thankful for hip hop. I have many favorite artists. If I never listened to music, I would probably be the most anti-social person on earth, and I would have no life.I love R&B also, especially old school R&B such as songs from Boyz II Men. I also like when people make covers of songs on youtube. Music has been on earth since the first human beings. I love music and will always love it forever. I am very thankful for music.

I am thankful for food. If we didn’t have food i would not be living right now. I am thankful for food because I like to eat a lot. I like CHOCOLATE. I love eating filipino food. I am thankful for food because it helps me get through the day. I am also thankful for it because i get stronger and I grow from it.
Silent Movie
So this is silent movie we made. It was all pretty random. We couldn’t think of a theme to base our video on, so its whatever.
Songs used:
I’m Cool Like That – Digable Planets
David Banner- Shawty Say
K-Young – Please Me
Gyptian – Is there a place.
SAT hw.
So..today I was trying to corroborate my hypothesis in chemistry today but i failed. Last night I was talking to this girl named Michelle on AIM, we had a very funny conversation about random stuff that came up. None of it was amorous though haha. She’s a cutie though! My cousin introduced us to each other. When I met her she was very benevolent. She isn’t like those other girls that I’ve been with it that are histrionic. 2 weeks ago, I was driving around in San Jose with my cousin, and this one guy pulls up to us looking like he wants to race. So we did, our cars were in a juxtapose form on the street. He tried to deride me, it was funny. Sometimes my car feels very volatile because it hasn’t been tuned up or cleaned in a while. I want the life of my car to distend though. We raced but not that much, too much traffic… Last week, my weekend was very idyllic. I didn’t really do much, just sleep, eat, TV, and video games. The sun is starting to be less incandescent since its fall now. I think I understand my math homework now. All I had to do was scrutinize all the graphs and equalities. I thought i was vacuous there for a moment haha. I’m feeling very decorous this week for some reason. This assignment is pretty fun honestly. I think Ms. Paul is didactic. I want the time before getting my license to be expedited though, Its hard for me to wait. Sometimes when it comes to cars, I think of myself as a sage, but there is still a lot more stuff for me to learn. This week I feel like that their are a lot of people that are exasperating towards me with assailing words, I try to ignore it.
Music
So our 1st garage band assignment was pretty easy. I got real bored with viva la vida that i started to mix songs from my own music folder with the song. So it ended up becoming a mixtape kinda thing. But anyways, garage band is pretty simple and easy to use for me, maybe because I have some of the experience from me being a DJ.
This is my first garage band project
VVV
