Final WEEK Reflection

Time just went by this year, all the things we did since the beginning of the year is just ... I am not even sure if I'm going to continue blogging after leaving Mr. Lee's class. This project has been successful in  my eyes, the things we did and the knowledge that we inputted will forever be stored. To be honest it was hard to work with a group, many people have different opinions and sometimes we all can't agree on it. Maybe it's just me but I actually did learn new things, I mean who new there is so much more detail in a little flower. And I can actually get along with the people. It was a good experience for me to be blogging and posting stuff, it gave me the confidence to talk to other people and to interact with them through technology. Hopefully people do learn from our photos and see the message that we try to put out. So I guess this is it, maybe I will blog, sometime about something different. #RIP to my 20 percent project..
Our presentation went well, though there were little mistakes as we spoke. It was fun making this presentation it taught me to communication in a different level. The things we put on the slides were short yet gave enough information for the topic. I would've change some of the things that had happened, like spoke a little clearer. Also we should've put the right amount of time to practice and memorize the script that we made. Overall, we did great on the project and in my opinion we had success.

Week 11

This weeks topics was RANDOM little things that interested and related to my personality. We decided to make it random so that our followers on our media account can connect with the things we are interested. We want them to know the "weirdness" that is within, I guess. Hopefully our followers like the fact that we posted random stuff and get the meaning of the picture. We also do put quotes on our pictures and write an interesting fact about them. We honestly feel good when we get at least 15 or even more likes in our photos. We would like our followers to share our photos so that we can get the word spread out from our work. For our project presentation, we have been working on the power point and also we will probably start practicing later next week. Our deadline is the 23 of May. Hopefully we finish everything a week before presentations so that all we have to do is practice and practice. That is our progress so far, but we will still like to have suggestions from our viewers, to see what a good and epic idea for our presentation ( the Pictures and stuff). Picture below is of my team and I trying to work things out..

Week 10

This week the topic was nature. Since last weekend I was in the woods exploring with my family my team and I decided that I should just take pictures of anything I find. There were a lot of things that i could take a picture of they turned out pretty great. One of the pictures that I love was the one with an ant. It was a big red ant and it seemed like it wanted to get a picture. I actually kept the ant but my dad decided to throw it away. My little sister and I decided to name it Peepa. It was very random name but it worked because it was cute and interesting. It did not seem like a regular ant that we see by the house because it was red at the top and black by the bottom. I felt bad at first because I just took it from its home and then she got thrown away. But I know she would have loved to explore. Not only did I take pictures of insect I also took pictures of tiny flowers that were spread around the ground by the cabin. My weekend was just amazing full of adventure and no technology for once. I got to spend time with my family and just enjoy the little things that were around me.

Week 9

This week I am actually in charge of the instagram account. Since, the website is still in progress I decided to take over the account because of the fact that I will be out of town for the weekend. I still don't know what to expect at the place I am going to go to but I will try to get a bunch of pictures. Hopefully the pictures will turn out good or bad. Not only will I take pictures but videos also, thought the quality wont be that great I will accomplish having a good quality so that it looks good. The videos I will be taking will go to the vine account we have created. The account will be posted on the instagram account next week. My goal this weekend is to take a picture of an insect or anything that I think is interesting. I would want to take a picture
 of something like the picture below,

Week 8

I would like to start of by saying their is still no progress with the website. As of right now it is still being put together. This is because I have been trying something totally different to give the page a unique look. I want it to scream the personalities of my group and I. Only because we are total opposites, we like to do different things and those things can be weird all the time. I have been checking on our instagram account, so far it looks pretty good and the vine account I still don't have a hold of it. It is very difficult to get a hold of my partner because I am the one who is always busy. Other than that everything is still going smoothly for the final presentation. Honestly everything is going well just a little bit late on the deadlines. Hopefully by next week things are done and we all can take a breather.

Week 7

Things are still setting in the website is still on progress, its not that easy to complete a website. Took time to find the right layout and background because of the fact that I personally don't like the way it looked before. My team and I, especially me, are busy, so I have not got the chance to talk to them lately about the topic. IT will come soon, just need to find the right time and I kind of want, no I want, to make it big and mysterious. Just to make things more fun! I mean why not, its always good to try something new. Our instagram account is going pretty well and so is our vine. SO follow, follow, FOLLOW! We really do love getting support from others and its very cool. As of right now we have something big for our final project, I know it will turn out great! Hopefully others will think so too, stay tune for that "something big". Take a guess of what it is going to be!

Week 6

This week me and my group members have not been updating instagram and the website. We have decide to split the work out evenly. We decided that I will be in charge of the website and Gino will be in charge with the instagram account and Patrick will be in charge of the vine account. We did this so that everyone will know what they are doing rather than asking or just sitting down doing nothing. It is easier this way since we are all very busy around this semester. This helps us worry about one thing than worrying about the websites. We will still be doing weekly topics or even monthly ones, that is yet to come. Overall, this project has been going through smoothly, we are still preparing for the final presentation. Stay tune on how we will do on that!!! This was us the whole week !

Week 4

This weeks topic is buttons! Buttons are very useful in clothing, it is an essiantial in fashion. Buttonholes were not invented until the 13th century. Did you know that there were different names for buttons? Buttons were involve in mainly men's fashion, they used them for their coats and collars of their shirts. Buttons are actually made from natural products, but they required more work than plastic buttons. They are made in a long process to get the wanted shape, size, design, and color.

Week 3

Topic this week is sweet and satisfying. Yup the topic is chocolate! We don't only get it for free on Halloween but it is in probably every store. Chocolates have a certain taste that makes people addicted to them. The word "chocolate" came from Mexico and Central America. Chocolate commonly comes in dark, milk and white. Dark chocolate somewhat has a sweet and bitter taste to them. Milk chocolate is usually sweet and popular ones are Hershey's chocolate. White chocolate in my opinion is the sweetest out of the three. Chocolate comes in different ways, they can be eaten or drank. In Europe, it was fashionable to drink chocolate. Though chocolate comes form a plant, its not necessarily good for the body. Chocolates have a lot of calories, fat, and especially sugar. They are filled with sugar and sodium. It maybe bad but it is very hard to resist. Picture below is one of my favorite chocolates: Snickers

Week 2

This week's topic is SPIDER WEBS! Nasty, creepy, yet fascinating to see. It is the creepiest thing that is ever out there. That is why I left the lens to one of my partners, I'm sure they will be much braver than me. Its pretty crazy how the pictures turned out to be it seemed so unreal. All the little things that appear that us humans are afraid to see up close. Did you know, spider webs are created to catch a prey such as flies and other insects. They use this device to catch their food and for their home. Spider webs are a bit creepy but they are so cool to look at. Also spider webs are pretty stable, when hosed down with water it will not come out. My father tried so many times and still does not work. The picture below is found on https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&ved=0CE8QFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fkids.nationalgeographic.com%2Fkids%2Fphotos%2Fgallery%2Fspider-webs%2F&ei=EIH9UuWpBeaHygHh-oE4&usg=AFQjCNEYDvrtPnXE9iP1ubKm5YEHKSf1ng&sig2=gmIDsczhBIkHYuAZjqVBrg ,they have interesting information about these creatures. check it out!!

Week 1

This weeks topics is money !! Yes, it may be a bit random, but it is very interesting. I mean we never see the real appearance of our money. NOT only coins but paper money, close up they have so much color pigment in them. Obviously my partners and I are running out of ideas but we are still working on it. It is not that easy to think of a good topic. Next weeks topic may be a bit creepy though, well at least for me. That is why I passed on the lens to Gino. I just can't handle that kind of topic. Any takers of what it will be? Well keep following us on instagram, we sincerely appreciate our audience. Maybe we might do a tutorial on how to take a good picture on a camera and even upgrade to a professional lens. We just need to keep focus and determine and get people's attention. Picture : by Gino
