what i did for this is use my non creative mind lol jk but i just took pictures and used photoshop. I fixed up the lighting and made them come more into life(: I used indesign to make them into poster things .

on this picture I made two rows of pictures about the environment and people. i then put in a bigger picture then masked it;

so here goes this beauty(:

Last week on February 17, 2010 we went to U.C Berkeley. It was an interesting experience that i will never forget. There were a lot of things that impressed me like the students, the classes , and the campus lifestyle. I didn’t expect much from this trip, but I learned a lot.

To start off the students that went to u.c berkeley seamed motivated that they were there. They have their own say and have freedom. What I mean by that is that they could do whatever they want like make up clubs and such. Not a single face seamed to be unhappy. Instead each student looked yet filled with joy and happiness that they were there. Students come from all over the world just to come to this amazing college.

The classes at U.C Berkeley are big and small. Some classes have about eight hundred students. The classes that are small are taught by grad students. The girl who was tour guide told us that we don’t have to take a lot of classes but yet again it depends on what everyone is trying to do , so it’s not like high school. Another thing that she said is that no one is there to help you manage time so we all have to figure that out on our own. It takes about three hours per class to do homework and to prepare for the classes. There is a lot of reading involved too.

Another thing I got to see and explore is the campus lifestyle. The freshmen are forced to live on campus their first year. It might sound bad but it is a good opportunity to get to met people all around you. There are a lot of activities at the school and people all around so you would never be bored. The campus is very pretty and unique. It has a lot a buildings and there are 27 libraries filled with millions of books. There is a greek goddess on top of the main library. The students believe that if you were to go in through that door that she gives you good luck through your test and if you go out through the same way you came in, she takes it back.

U.C Berkeley is the place to be at. Everything is so amazingly beautiful about it, like the library and the buildings. There is also a lot of history behind the school. As I told you before I didn’t expect much but learned a lot and I could honestly say that I fell in love with the school once I took my very first step on it.

I learned a lot this semester and got to be with amazing people to help me with the start of this journey. this is going to be a start of that is coming my way. i know it will get harder but with the help i get for everyone every day i know i can make it in this academy which is the best(: DSA RULES ! put that in caps.(:

This semester we learned about photoshop(: and taking better pictures. we also got to do a graphic design; i did mine but i don’t think it was good enough though because i was still in the process of learning but with time ill get better(i hope). we did a project on our familys well history of our familys(: it all started with a poem and begain to be more like into a short movie with pictures and our voices talking. so heres  mine

so far we are starting 3d which is pretty complicated stuff ; wish me luckk

love; gabyy(:

                    today I am thankful for blogging(: or us having the expression to write our emotions.

              expressing our emotions so they wont be so locked in until we burst and say things we never ment to say. i know many people won’t care of what i am feeling or thinking but i am going to let all my emotions out right now so stay with me for a minute. i bet you that you will get to know another side of me that you never knew.

          i can’t take it anymore not much longer im waiting to crash and fail. i can’t wake up every day ready to take my steps when i know i am ready going to fall. i just can’t, so many problems in my life i know i don’t have them as worse as other people but  i cant handle them. i keep thinking to myself that hold on tight things are going to get better but the truth is that they only seem to get worse. i feel like nothing ever matters and i feel like crying my eyes out but that ain’t going to help anything. i lost my one only best friend that  i ever cared about so much that thought he was going to stay with me through the bad times.

            Its messes me up because he use to be the i would talk to when my parents were with their arguments and things like that. when i had a bad day he was always there to brighten it. Now look at things today, he saying behind my back. he hate so much and i don’t even know why. Now he says that he doesnt want to talk to me and he said that he doesnt want me in his life because i’m drama and bs. Shouldnt i be the one mad? I mean, hearing so much bad things about me that he is saying.  The bad thing that he did when we together? Shouldn’t I be saying ” you messed up and you ain’t worth being my friend”? I never said that or will say that to anybody because I am a fer giving person. No matter what happens with anymore things would be cool maybe not the same but at least I am still going to be there right?

             Another thing about my life that keeps me on the ground is my parents. I hate everything, all the arguments I just can’t take it no more, I mean they stop then some how go back to that. They say they did it for me but the real reason was  that my dad got jealous because my mom had moved on and she was out more and having fun. she deserved it but then he started to trip and told me to call my mom on Sundays taking me home when he knew she was out. I think another reason was because I was messing up to much like I didnt care about nothing like I wouldnt care about school or things like that.  I really just have no idea but I wish things were back like they use to be in 2004.

               Me and my dad aint like we use to be. We grown apart more and more as time goes by. It’s said because Ithink to  my self when was the last time you gave your dad a hug? to me it’s been so long that i have no idea. I know that’s mean but I have my reasons it’s because he disappointed me yeah i for gave him but things arent the same. He let me down when I really needed him he wasnt to be found. he acts like a “father” but why did all of a sudden you started to care so much for me? I can’t let it go as much as i want to he hurt me. I can’t go back to being that daddy’s little girl. He made me cry because he wouldnt come back and now it’s to late 3 years I waited but now things aren’t NEVER going to be the same.

   Today i am thankful for life. What would the would be with out life? No humans, animals, no emotions, and  no nothing.  Life isn’t always great it has its ups and down but we have to live the hard times to appreciate the good times . At times i get caught up with how perfect this world is. Life it just has so many means to it that i can’t even explain or not even a dictionary could tell what it really means.

i’m thankful for being here today and being alive.

Today i am thankful for having them in my life(:

                   They are like my rid or dies type of people. To start of with kharisma, she helped through all my problems with guys and had my back. She may say mean things and make fun of me but she only do it to make me mad in a friendly way. She can make my day or make me feel blah.  WiFEy, he’s a nice person and kharisma’s cousin(Alex). They both made my day one time that we were at the mall(: then he came my shopping buddy/wifey. Lupe, this girl i got her back on anything just like any of my other lovers(: She didnt leave my side the other day we nervous because the guys that like us were at kharisma’s party yesterday and we didn’t want to be left alone so we were with each other and kharisma to.

   I know we yell and fight with each other and he’s super annoying…..what am i talking about again? lol just kidding(: I still love him even  though at times we don’t get along. I am thankful for him because he knows how to brighten up my day and make me laugh with his craziness.(:I grow up to very quickly and had to become more mature because of him. It’s not bad it’s a good thing.

         He made me realized when he was younger i had to be strong. I could let him see me week. Times were hard at that time. My mom had to work 2 jobs or when we came to bay point i was left alone with him for the night. I had to take a lot of responsibilities even though i didn’t want to it was for the best of me and him. i love him, i might not show it but the things i had to do just show it all. (:
