What I accomplished this week...

Week of March 27, 2015
Dear Readers,
This week in film class our group members (Nere, Nancy, Andrea, Sergio,Salvador and I) planned to do a PSA based on being prepared. The purpose of the message unfolds as we reveal to our audience the cause and effects of not bringing a pencil to school which drastically leads to other scenarios that make the audience see the importance of always being prepared or else you won't graduate or go to college. As we sketched out the storyboard we wanted to inform the audience that our video is an exagerated metaphor of being prepared is critical in life in order for people to comprehend the dominos effect!

What Music Means to Me

Music, is the rabbit hole to my Alice in Wonderland.
I feel that music takes me to places where you haven't been or makes you reminisce of the past. The artists opens up emotionally with their lyrics: some lyrics are to be in awe and other lyrics are effective because one can relate to it and say "Oh my gosh, someone understands!" Music, is art through the artists experiences, they share. I feel captivated by the beat, but most of all what the message that is to be shared. My preference of music is obscure, but I love it! I listen to Indie Pop or alternative rock or underground music that is gives me tranquility. My music ranges from Arctic Monkeys,
Delta Spirit, The Drums, Haim, The Shins, Lana Del Rey, Two Door Cinema Club, Bombay Bicycle Club, Saint Motel, Tame Impala, Beatles, Beach Boys, Guns N' Roses, Hanni El Khatib,  Imagine Dragons, Lorde, The Xx, M83, Mgmt, Milky Chance, Muse, Coldplay, Phoenix, Queen, Ritchie Valens, Small Black, The Turtles, The Jungle Giants, The killers, The Kooks, The Naked & the Famous, Empire of the Sun, Fitz & the Tantrums, Foster the People, Grouplove, grimes, Florence & the Machine, Jimmy Fontana etc.

Most Interesting Person In the WORLD!

Well, everyone is interesting in their own oddly ways and one person that embraces that is Astrid. I have known Astrid since second-grade however, we didn't get to really know each other since our sophomore year. Astrid is very hip and shockingly out going because most people would assume she's timid, but looks are deceiving indeed.  Additionally with her humble personality she has a wide range of music ranging from Indie pop to Reggae. Additionally, she is eco- friendly and down to earth and believes that this era of music is not as valuable as music that has profound such as the 1970's because now in days music is centered on sex, drugs, profanity and undermining women for their capability other than to just appeal to men for their bodies. The one quality I admire the most is her desire to do what she wants to do, no matter what people say, setting her mind to it.
