Boys Night Out

On this page, Karl brought back the "family man" bird who kept neglecting his wife to go out drinking with his buds until she finally told him enough was enough. He must have not been able to have gone out in a really long time by the way he's acting when he finally gets some free time with a guy friend. Until his friend tells him he's inviting his significant other to hang out with them. It's funny, but to be honest i just want Charles Christopher back.

Makavelli in this

 Technology has really came far, this year at the Coachella concert they brought Tupac Shakur back to life in hologram form! There's always been rumors that hip-hop artist Tupac isn't really dead and that he's still in hiding somewhere and I don't doubt if his hologram sparked those rumors back up. I sound crazy, but he looks so real in this video it was just so amazing watching him perform it was too real. I feel as if he was actually there and was just made pretend that he was fake lol. I wish I could've seen this live, I'm sure i would have freaked out. I also wish I'm still alive when he comes back from "hiding". May he rest in peace though.

King Me

On this page we see whats going on at Gilgamesh's kingdom while he's gone. And apparently as the cat says nobody has even noticed that he's gone. The king's cat facial expression is so funny and cute in the 8th panel when he thinks that he should replace Gilgamesh and become the new king. I love these comics, so cute!

The Daisy That Got Away

 The first time I ever did a personal post on my blogger I believe I spoke about my bunny, Daisy, and said I'd be mentioning her a lot more on my posts. I never thought I'd have to update my followers with the information that I'm about to release. Unfortunately last Monday Daisy went out for a stroll and never came back. /: Usually we let her run around freely in the backyard and we've never had problems, up until the weekend before she became lost. We had a family gathering and my uncle noticed that she was in the neighbors backyard, I had no idea how she got over there, so I assumed she went from the gutter that is connected to the house. We blocked  the entrance to the neighbors house and assumed she wouldn't be going anywhere again. Unfortunately we were mistaken, she left once again and this time we found her hanging out with the neighbors in their garage. It was funny how she was just laying in there and they were okay with her being in there, especially because we've never really had a friendship with them. We found the hole she dug under the fence and put bricks to cover the hole, but she still made another hole, and this time I wasn't home so I wasn't able to see that she was gone until night time when I returned and went to bring her in. I never found her. The next morning i went looking for her around the neighborhood checking neighboring houses backyards to see if she was there, but never found her sadly. I won't lie when I say that I cried. That was my baby, I've had her for almost a year on my birthday. I miss her every day more and more as if she was a real person. She wasn't just an ordinary bunny she had character and an amazing personality. She was so smart and adorable, she knew her name and she knew that i loved her and i knew that she loved me by her act of love when she'd like my hands. Now all I have is memories of all the good times I had with her. I just hope wherever she is, that she is okay and happy.

Disappointment

                Wednesday, April 11, 2012 The Weeknd released tour dates and tickets to his Hollywood/LA location went on sale this morning at 10. I waited all morning on the ticketmaster page for the tickets to become available and when the clock struck 10, i refreshed the page. Well it was taking forever to refresh, so i exited the screen & opened a new ticketmaster page then searched for the tickets, & within those 3 minutes I wasn't able to get a ticket because they sold out !!!!?! Me and my little sister were planning on attending, we've been waiting sooooo long for his concert, it was such a disappointment that the concert sold out so quick. Hopefully he has another performance close by soon.

Obsession

They say you can tell a lot about a girl by her favorite song. Well I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but this week I'm at a current obsession with these two songs ! I can't get over Jhene Aiko's voice in "You vs. Them"  and Usher's voice in "Climax", they're both so amazing! But nonetheless when I first hear a song the beat determines whether or not I will pay a song any attention, then follows the lyrics. And these two songs, OH MY GOD the beats and the lyrics just attack me ! I feel like the music was welly put together with the artist voice and lyrics. I'm in love. I definetly have these two songs in repeat everyday while i'm driving somewhere, when i'm at home, when i'm hanging out, when i'm at school, when i'm doing homework, Obsessed.

Abominable.CC

This page touched me, it teared me up a little, gave me the chills and made me smile a little! It's such a touching page, it's so adorable how the rat is trying to talk to the saddened owl, who we were introduced to long ago, because he is depressed that his son left long ago with his crazy uncle. We see the owl from panel 1-5 with the same facial expression, just sitting there sad without words while the rat continues to try to comfort him, he gets no response until the last two panels when he says he's gonna get going the owl asks him to stay. Sometimes just having someone there to comfort you while you're depressed just means so much. I just can't explain how much i love this page, definitely my favorite.

Spring Break

Spring break is here! Finally we get a week off from all the stressfulness of the college student life. Though I had planned to go and enjoy a couple days with friends in San Diego, I don't think that's going to happen anymore unfortunately. So I don't have any plans, just hope for a good time,day by day. If we have good weather, I will be at Venice hopefully every day almost! I don't really have much other than that to say, soooo Peace.

Budget Cuts?!

California State Universities are at a crisis with millions of dollars in state budget cuts, the universities are becoming less affordable and over populated. Many students feel like they are paying more for less, which is basically true. Our fees are raising by 10% if they don't get increased, the federal government will not fund CSUs.  Also, our classes are being cut! Soon there will be less enrollment for future students. In which, will delay the opportunity to get a college degree for the future generations. That being said, what about the current students who will most likely take one or two more years to finish college because they only allow to take up to 15 units or even worst they might not even get a degree! Families are devastated by the economic downturn. Many families rely solely on financial aid to help pay for their son or daughter's college career. Housing is also a problem the rents are very expensive, and the money is being cut. How is that going to work, with the high levels of jobless, and underemployment students? In my case, my mother is a single parent with the budget cuts and increasing fees, will sure bring plenty of stress over her shoulder. For the students that do not get financial aid that pay for their own education are force to take time off  either one or more semesters because they cannot afford the tuition.  As well for many students that have part times jobs, the huge gaps between schedules impacts the work schedule of them. Professors classes are being cancel and many of them are being over work, which creates another problem, poor quality education. I have always though overly worked and stress out instructors will only give poor quality education. If the students does not get the opportunity to finish their career will only affect future economy. How will a student who wants to do a doctors job do, if they never got the chance to get the appropriate skills, training, and knowledge that is requier to undertake the job?
I feel as thought the CSU officials are just increasing our tutiion costs in order to take home a bigger paycheck for themselves. Higher tuition prices and fees does not personally help the help, it's not in the students interest to not be able to afford a successful future.

Changes

Time for the weekly update! 

So this week has definitely been hectic, no doubt about that, here's an overview:

Monday: Woke up late, class, studied for Statistics test, met dad on his way back from Washington on break, then went to Stats class. Tutoring after class for an extra hour. After that was done, I went to the gym and worked out with a friend, then I showered and hung out with a friend and had an Hermanas Unidas meeting. 

Tuesday: No class, but i drove to school for a quick tutoring session for my statistics test.

Wednesday: Woke up EXTREMELY late and missed both my first and second class>.< Then I met up with a classmate and studied before my stastics test. Then 12:30 took my test. I think I got like a C hopefully! After I had SI class, which was kind of fun, only 4 people showed up to class. so it was interesting.

So now I'm getting tired of telling my day by day schedule... I'll sum everything else up. I died my hair, so i am no longer blonde. But I feel like the lady didn't do well of  a job on my hair and I have missing pieces of color. I paid too much to not have a well done color. And besides that, I found out I start spring break Wednesday since we don't have classes Friday and I don't have class Thursday, yay! Now I am trying to catch up on my work, because I totally forgot about my project space essay that I have to hurry and complete. The End

Spring is Here

Some people have no idea when the seasons officially change and are naive to the change until someone opens their eyes to it. So in this page the bunny (ironically a cool animal to choose due to Easter being in spring and a bunny used as a mascot for Easter) is hopping around chanting that spring has came. The raccoon are first confused, because of course they are unaware. Then in the last page they look at each other and question if it really is Spring.
I thought that the way the rabbit was hopping around happy that spring has came was a positive way to bring about the season change. Shows positivism that the raccoon might have needed. The End

Failure

We were assigned to attempt to do something and fail at it, then post about it. Well.... failing isn't really something new to me. But for this assignment I decided to try something i've never tried before for fear of failing and being rejected. What is it that a fearless bastard like me might have done you ask? I got comfortable around a guy! Doesn't seem like a big deal being in college and all does it? Well no, in my life that is the biggest deal ever; simply because it was with a guy I liked. Being comfortable around any guy who I have in the friend zone is no big deal, like who cares right?
So for my little experiment, I attempted to flirt with this guy (who's name will be Liam) by acting "cute". Normally I don't flirt back with a guy by saying cute stuff back when I'm told something cute. So Liam hit me with a a compliment and I saw my chance to fail, or hope to be successful, new to the game I replied with "I know I am but what are you". My response? No answer. A simple  "wow really". Haha I didn't know how to respond after that. Normally, I am a really corny person because it's fun to be dweeb-like. But in this instance Liam didn't play back, so I'll take it as an EPIC FAIL. Oh well! Peace & love

Charles Christopher 3.14

This page is really cute! Karl referenced an old tongue twister joke involving a woodchuck. In the second panel , after verifying that the animal was a woodchuck, the mice ask the woodchuck how much wood could it chuck which is the question asked in the tongue twister. The woodchuck attempts to answer the riddle, but then realizes with the mice laughing that they are trying to make fun of her. It's really cute

Red cross. Blood & cars

So for my personal post this week I want to share with you guys some cool stuff thats happens to me this week. So on Monday after class I for the first time ever donated blood for red cross! I've always been afraid to do so because I was worried to give a big amount of blood and then not have it be used. So everything went great! It wasn't as bad as I had expected until I was done! Well after they were scanning my pouch and tubes of blood, I have no idea how this happend, but the nurse left the pouch next to me and when she picked it up the blood was leaking!!!!! Awesome right? So not only had my blood been dripping and might not be of use anymore but it dropped onto my pants as well. All the workers in the van were making a big deal out of it, I was laughing though(but I think it was a nervous laugh). It was basically what I had always expected to happen, my blood not be of good use after its been removed. On the bright side though my body is making new blood now! So besides that horrific Monday, after donating blood I had to scurry through traffic to get to Los Angeles because my dad had called me last minute to tell me that I need to get my car over there because he is selling it. So I now do not own my own car and will be driving my sisters 2012 Ford Focus weekly and/or another one of my dad's car until I turn 18 will I have a car to call my own. Sad story. Well that's about it!

Outline

Introduction: I was assigned to read two science fiction books by Orson Scott Card, titled Enders Game and it's sequel Speaker for the Dead.  We have to write about a specific issue in the two books that interested us. I chose to write about how age plays a big role in the two books.
Thesis: Age plays a big role in what our society believes we are capable of doing and what we are allowed to do or better yet not do. For our English 114B class I was assigned to read two science fiction novels, Enders Game  being the first book and Speaker for the Dead  is the following book, when I started reading Ender’s game I was intrigued by the amazing details of activities that such a young boy was doing. Going on to read Speaker for the Dead  age was still playing a significant role within the characters. The capability of things that the characters were able to do in this time in space is what caught my interest most.

Sweet Child of Mine

I'm missing a personal post from last week. So i'll update it now with whatever I currently find amusing. Though I don't really have anything awesome to say, I'll update my bloggers with how my bunny, Daisy, is doing! I've posted some recent pictures of her, she's growing so much, it's crazy. My sister got a gray bunny, Thumper, and I took Daisy to Los Angeles to meet her. Daisy loved having some animal company, i attached a photo of them together below. It was so cute how Thumper is much smaller than Daisy yet they were cuddled up together, it was the cutest thing to see. Now Daisy is back to being alone and lonely in the backyard or in her cage. Hopefully I get the chance to take her out again soon. Until then I hope I can stand seeing her alone and irate.

Catching Up!

This weekend was so amazing !! It was my little sister and brother's birth celebration. The family plus cousins and aunts took a trip to Buena Park and went to the theme park Knotts Berry Farm. The last time I visited Knotts was in middle school. I used to love taking trips to Knotts as a child, so I was super excited to be able to take my siblings there. It was a crazy day, we ate at the oh so famous Pink's restaurant; they had some of the most amazing fries and hot dogs! Once we went inside the park, I was surprised to see new rides and a couple more new things, but most haven't changed. My sister and I tackled quite a few big rides, though I noticed Knotts doesn't have as many big roller coasters as Magic Mountain, but it was cool because I felt super cool going on alot of the big coasters they had even though they weren't that bad. And that's just a quick snip of my weekend. Until then, here's some pictures (:

roots for breakfast

In the new Charles Christopher, Charles yanks some roots off the ground for breakfast. Following the last comic, Gilgamesh was complaining he hadn't been served breakfast yet. As cute and adorable Charles is, he hands him the plant to eat. This page was very cute, I think Karl meant for there to be some humor on this page considering that Gilgamesh is a king, so he is used to having nice fancy royal meals handed to him, but instead he's eating roots for breakfast. And so we wait for the journey to continue.

Excuses Excuses.

I missed class Monday because I was sick, and made up some of my blog posts for last week the  night before, on Sunday. So I just found out that one of our assigned blogs was to say why we've been slacking on our blog posts. Which is funny because my personal post that i wrote Sunday, I sorta talked about being behind on my posts.
But this post will be my official reasons post. So I basically think about writing them too much, so sometimes I'll just make myself believe that it's super simple to write and I can do it in like 10 minutes. Which will make me procrastinate even more. Then sometimes I start writing my posts and I just can't get the words right and I don't know what to write about really, so I have a couple started posts sitting in my drafts waiting to be finished and published. Then I'll go to my dad's house for the weekend and I'll forget that they're sitting there til it's too late. Like this post was nearly finished then i left it sitting in my drafts for a couple days. I have a couple more left to complete and i will be all caught up !

The new Charles Christopher !

The second page to Chapter 3 came out yesterday on the leap day! So this comic page starts off with Gilgamesh's eye and him looking into the mountains in the second panel. Then we see the mountain, which looks like the mountain from the first page, before this one. What's interesting about this is that in the previous page we were presented with the same mountain and a silhouette figure which we think is probably Gilgamesh's father. The person per say is left behind by his army to die in a cave of the mountain. So if it is Gilgamesh's father, I say something interesting is to happen in the next couple of pages between these two. 
 I'm glad we finally go to see Charles Christopher again !

Gosh all you women do is complain

Okay so I totally need to catch up with all my schoolwork ! I'm missing a couple blog posts, which I apologize for to my readers and professor...I guess I'm not that good at keeping promises >.< so this blog post will act as my weekly person post for last week like February 22 or something ?? What shall I rant about?? Hmm I think I'll talk about my finally restored happiness that I achieved last week?! Well I was having some minor drama with some close friends, I finally resolved most of the issues ! Not all but enough for now to be satisfied with, I've made some personal changes and have added and deleted people from my life which is great because now I have one less stress ! And another issue was my grandma's French poodle being attacked and injured by a pit bull caused a lot of distress with our family. My grandma spent more than a thousand dollars on his medical bills alone! Can dogs get insurance? He was so sick going in and out of the hospital, his stitches kept opening and we then found he had internal organ damages, how horrible, and so they stayed in Compton where the accident happened haven't became back home to Palmdale. The owner of the pit isn't paying up and wants to be taken to court, it's a very stressful issue because meanwhile my grandmother is over there I am loaded up with more responsibility around the house meanwhile my mom goes to school. It sucks because I am in charge of 4 kids while she's gone, the outcomes of those days/nights = gray hairs! But we visited grandma and it seems like the dog is doing better, so hopefully she'll be back soon. That is my rant for last week !

www.abominable.cc Chapter 3!

So this is the beginning to Chapter 3 of the abominable Charles Christopher. It's a bit of a weird start, it's different that's the for sure; the author's style has drastically changed. Normally the comic style of the panels are in a different kind of frame and the colors are different. This page seems like watercolors were used, dark watercolors because the page almost seems scary a little. To me it did though, I don't really grasp what is going on here either. It's an interesting start to a new chapter. we have this human kind of silhouette being stranded alone without chance of survival in a hot area. In the 5th panel the silhouette looks almost like Charles Christopher, so maybe this is the story of how he became? Maybe Karl is going to start giving us Charles history?!  I just hope ext week's piece gives us more answers!

Speaker for the Dead Fan Art

This is my Speaker for the Dead fan art with a little bit of a fan fiction. It is very crappy and hard to tell what is going on, I'll explain, so please excuse my lack of art skills. In this picture we have planets and stars in space, which are the green/brown bubbles. the white dots are stars, and the bluish lines are space travel lines. Then we have Lusitania Colony zoomed in. The little black awkward peanut looking object is Valentine's space craft. The stick figures is Valentine and her family looking at Ender's dead body which has been cut open by a pequineno which is what is standing next to him with a bloody knife in his hand. His organs have been placed out and a seed was implanted in his chest cavity, right away roots start growing out,which is different because humans didn't get a tree grown out of them. He was cut open right next to the father tree forest. The rest of the story is a mystery. Was Andrew a magical being?

Complaining but making Promises

Procrastination will be the end of me.This semester I've decided to take 15 units, only God knows why I would do this to myself. I've definitely overdid myself by taking 5 time consuming classes. I thought I'd have learned my lesson last semester to not procrastinate and manage my time wisely, but i keep pushing back assignments telling myself "I have time" or "I'll do it later, it's not too bad" WRONG! I continue to spend my time doing other things of less importance and before I know it, I'm stressing out and am way behind on my homework. Or if I do start doing my work it's like I don't focus or give it all my all because I'll sit just about ALL day staring at the computer hoping my homework, or 500 word blog posts will magically appear. Sometimes I think I have time to do my work during my 45 minute break, and just leave it for then, but I usually don't. So this week's personal blog is a promise to myself and a secret promise to all my professors that I will quit procrastinating and give school my ALL.

Sci-fy isn't just for nerds???

 For my English 114B class we were assigned to read two science fiction books by our professor. I was assigned to read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. When I realized that these were science fiction books I right away thought to myself  "Oh great, i'm not going to understand a thing!" then i made this face --> -_______- Not to mention I couldn't understand what was going on with the picture on the books covers. But anyway as soon as I opened Ender's game and started reading the first page,  I was HOOKED. 
 The book's first chapters didn't stall to tell the reader what was going on, right away we were already given so much action and detail. Not only was it lively and so detailed I could see the scenes in my head the author gave the reader conflict. In the first chapter Andrew is getting his monitor removed which is a big deal because he gets teased for having it taken off which gets him into a fight. All of this is in the first chapter! The book starts off exhilarating and continues to be exciting, it's like i was reading it and waiting to find out what happens next.  Ender's game is really interesting it kept me sitting on edge, since I first started reading it i didn't put the book down until i was one third of the way done with the book , which I found weird because I never thought a science fictional book would be of interest to me. 
 I was surprised by the author's way of making his books interesting and relate-able. It was relate-able in the sense that I compare myself to the age of Andrew and the other child soldiers in the book and what I would've felt like going through what they are going through at that age. Everybody was once 6-9 years old, but not everybody was capable of what Andrew was capable of. I found myself in such surprise and amusement, in my opinion the books were both suspenseful. 
 Speaker for the Dead wasn't as captivating as Ender's Game i'll admit but it was still a very interesting detailed book! I say it's not as interesting of a book because honestly I don't even remember the first couple chapters and it took me much longer to finish reading this book compared to Ender's Game, though the story and book itself nonetheless was also very exciting! I especially loved the pequinos, Ender's relationship with his sister and the other characters, and the frightening drama that this book had.
 I loved how Orson Scott Card wrote the books, the futuristic style mixed with drama and emotion. He wrote these books in ways that his audience are able to relate to them. In my opinion Scott-Card is a brilliant writer, his ways with story telling is amazing. His writing style, character, details, suspense, action are all traits of what made the books so hard to put down.

Swans are such Jerks

 This is once again another Charles Christopher comic page from www. abominable.cc! Once again Karl has given his audience another comic about the swans being jerks, as we can see in this panel the swan is angrily flapping it's wings at the ducklings and kicking them out of his presence. Since it is just one panel I don't know what the ducklings did to make the swan angry so i'm presuming it was nothing and the swan is just a grouch. I don't know but for some reason this reminds me of like an elderly neighbor yelling at the neighborhood kids for playing in his front yard. But anyway, Karl needs to bring Charles Christopher back!

Gone too soon

My English professor assigned us to make 3 weekly posts every week, 2 of which he assigns and one of our own. It's a little odd like writing paragraphs about our lives every week; it's cool though, just weird talking about oneself. But this week has definitely been an interesting one, so I think i'll recap on the many different things going on. One of the biggest i must say though was the loss of Whitney Houston. Many say Whitney was a female Michael Jackson, which I agree with, she was such an inspirational singer with such an amazing voice she touched many people's hearts. I hope finally finds peace wherever she has been taken. 
Rest in Paradise Whitney Houston. 

No Sleep

Haha I thought this was cute. In the first to the third panel is the birds singing their cute songs, but in the fourth panel (being that bats sleep during the day) they are annoying the bat and not letting him sleep. I can definitely relate to this page, being that college makes us "nocturnal creatures" my sleeping schedule is much different than the sleeping schedule of everybody in my house. So when I'm trying to go sleep everybody else is waking up and getting ready for their day or making so much noise, it makes it difficult to get some rest!

School. Gym. Sleep

 This week I'd like to share with my readers about my newest interest. The Spring Semester of 2012 at CSUN brought their students the opening of the almost 100 million dollar Student Recreation Center. I have never joined a gym before, but took advantage of the free machines and weights that us CSUN students now have after paying our tuition and fees. And I fell IN LOVE. I spent the last week after all my classes in the gym, the time flies while I'm in there, the effect of the gym just makes me feel very good because I know that after the work I am able to get fit and healthy. I just wish I lived closer to campus so I can be in the SRC everyday, but unfortunately I am only able to go 3 times a week. Next week, I hope to conquer the built in rock climbing wall. For now my hobbies now consist of School, Gym, Sleep.

Date-Night reply

   This is the most recent update from the web comic "the abominable Charles Christopher". We still haven't seen Charles in the new "season" of this comic, but we are presented with the bird family. I thought it was a bit harsh how the father bird was lying to his wife and was going out to drink once the kids fell asleep. Knowing the mother bird wanted to spend some alone cuddling time together she put him in his place and made him stay. I loved her expression in the 3rd panel; it shows the power of women. But it was still cute how he stayed in the fourth panel even though he didn't want to, though it his expression leads me to think that he's not staying the whole night. 

Reply to the Abominable Charles Christopher

After sitting at the computer reading the whole Abominable Charles Christopher comic I wasn't quit sure how this page related to the story of Charles Christopher. So I think that this page however is just showing how unfriendly people or animals in this case can be with unwanted visitors on their ground. Panel 4 shows that just because one kind of species is rude we are quick to say that everybody of that species is the same way.

Beauty of Silence

This week I would just like to let my readers into my life a little more. I'd like to share my fondest love for pets. I have a strong love and admiration for animals. My most current pets are my beautiful 7 month old Holland Lop rabbit Daisy and 1 year old French Poodle Yo-Yo. Since I was young I've always loved animals I had either ducks, chickens, dogs, bunnies,hamsters, birds hanging out in my backyard or in my living room. As I started growing older I started growing a stronger admiration for animals. I remember living in Downey I raised a pet chicken, as crazy as it sounds, she was my companion. She would lay next to me and pick at my legs when I'd be sad and comfort me. Now I have my pet bunny which to me is like a dog. She is also very comforting, playful and smart. We took in my grandma's dog who is also such a great friend. Everyday my animals amaze me with the emotions and activities that they are capable of. Even though they speak no words and are incapable of telling you that they love you, they give us the most warmest and strongest feeling of happiness and love.
