Teen Fitness and Health (FC)

Teen fitness and health seems to be one thing people are stressing everywhere. They seem to stress this due to the obesity of teens around the world, mental health factors, physical health factors and more. Nutrition and fitness are the two important factors to maintain a healthy lifestyle. when it comes to mainly the female teenagers you often here them dieting. why diet when you can create healthy eating habits? Dieting lasts only for a short period of time, while healthy habits can last a lifetime.
 Fitness and sports are also important. proper exercise is also important in becoming healthy. Teens expect to be healthy and fit automatically. Find a sport or an exercise that you can enjoy and won't give up on so easily. For a few years now, I have part taken in excersing in the comforts of my home to remain active. I have achieved a perfect weight balance, flexibility, and fitness.

Jay- Z Labeled 'Poor Excuse For A Husband' (SSR)

An article I have found a while ago on tumblr had the head line saying Jay-Z was a poor excuse of a husband. A New York Post columnist, Naomi Schaefer Riley, seems to believe that he is. Riley chose to display of her opinion in her latest post following Jay and Beyonce's Grammy Awards performance that she didn't particularly like. The writer labeled Jay as a "poor excuse for a husband" due to displaying their affection and what goes on behind closed doors on tv during their performance and in Beyonce's recent single 'Drunk in Love' video.
This caught my eye being I love the power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce. In my opinion, Jay shouldn't be labeled as a poor husband being it was Beyonce who chose to make the album, the meaning behind the song lyrics, and display their affection in HER videos. I'm not praising them saying things like this is okay but Jay shouldn't be labeled something people don't know about because of music publicity(what they do on stage or in videos). As long as he is treating her right and not beating her, I don't see why he is labeled as a bad husband.

Watership Down (ID)

Currently in my so called government class we are watching a film called Watership Down. To sum it up, the movie is an animation showing the civilization and government structure of rabbits. Even though it is an animation and cartoonish, it is nothing like you would expect and not for children.

We have finished the film and are working on a project based on the film. For the project the class has to answer questions while making a book. The book includes a cover page with a cool illustration, a table of contents, and the rest of the pages are answering the questions. This is what we are cureently learning and doing in Government class.

Heart of Darkness (CRR)

I am writing about my confusing on the Heart of Darkness book we are currently reading in Honors English. The book is centered on two characters named Marlow and Kurtz and is written in Marlow's point of view. Marlow's point of view includes how he views the world, what he thinks of Kurtz, and his journey down a river that he calls the Heart of Darkness.

Confusion comes when I read the book. Especially when reading it alone and not with my fellow classmates. This confusion not only comes from me but my classmates as well. I believe its due to the way the author Joseph Conrad chose to write the book, as in his word choices and how he chooses to describe things within the book. I understand the book at some parts and then the rest of the book is a huge question mark. To get to the point, I disliked this book due to confusion and hope the next book is interesting and understandable.

New Soul New Generation (FC)

Many in TMA may not know this but I love to sing and I'm very passionate about music. Lately I have been going to church. While being there I have vocal lessons, sing, dance, and hang out with the youth. Over the past year I have done about 5-10 shows with them. It all started when I did a show in June called 'Storytellers.' I ended up doing a duet with one of my close friends,Jordan Suarez, and ended up singing back up the whole show. After story tellers I realized this is what I love doing. Starting with vocal lessons I am currently taking, I plan to get better and make my voice stronger. I also plan to continue teaching myself the piano. People loved 'Storytellers' so much we were able to put on continuous shows after this.

In late October we finally had our fist gig in a cafe in Yonkers. Many came to see and support us.  This night we had fun and enjoyed ourselves and decided to make a new group. We are called New Soul New Generation (NSNG). The group consists of Cristian Lopez, Karena DeLeon, Jordan Suarez, Michelle Mateo, Kimiko Bee (myself), Antonio(AJ) Rosa, and Nicholas Mercado. We are going to continue making our own music and hopefully record. This group is my family and I hope to move on with them.

Tumblr Blogging & Art Work (PB)

I'm choosing to write about the social network tumblr and how it has affected my art work. Tumblr is a microblogging platform and social networking website. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short- form blog. Much of the website's features are accessed from the "dashboard" interface, where the option to posts content and posts of followed blogs appear. Besides tumblr my other passion is drawing, which they so happen to be connected.
My tumblr dashboard,what I described in the intro, consists of pictures that relates to movies, celebrities, music, videos, society, and lots of artwork. Most of the art work speaks to me. It relates to me in a way of how I feel or what I like. Due to it relating to me I have inspiration to draw.  I love drawing and can't stop. You can catch me during class doodling in my notebook. I will continue on with this talent in my future. This is why at the same time tumblr and drawing is my passion because they connect. Below is artwork I drew in class.
