Christmas Break

What Christmas means to me Is that In my vision I see the whole family being together eating dinner, laughing enjoying their Christmas presents and enjoying the life. On Christmas day I am mostly not going to do a lot of stuff but yeah a little party. So I think my mom Is going to be doing some cooking, I do not know what kind of food I just know that she Is making my favorite pecan pie. I already got my Christmas present which was an ipod touch and I love it a lot. My other family members haven't gotten their presents yet. Like it was my birthday she wanted to give it to me early. I usually don't travel a lot during vacations because the whole family isn't together and my mom doesn't like people missing the fun. I won't get anything else because my mom said that she spend money on big things that we wanted so we are only getting one present she didn't have Lot's of money this year because she wasted it on something really needful. What we would probably be doing for Christmas would be that maybe the whole family Is going to be together everyone bringing something and after the dinner we maybe going to the theatre or we will just rent movies and watch them at home with popcorn. I also think that before we celebrate we will go somewhere to a little party at my friend's house she is always nice with us I like her alot because she always gives us Christmas presents. This Christmas I want it to be the best one that I have ever had in my childhood, I also wished my dad was with me for Christmas but nop he's not going to be here.

Globaloria

This week In technology I feel very tired from this week’s hard work. Some people might say that they are tired because they don’t really work hard as much as I do, well It’s really not that much work for me because I’m used to do hard work.
What I have learned In technology this week It’s how to work with flash and layers. I am very glad that I have learned lot’s of flash because I might need the same strategies In my future. I also have learned about how game genres work with what type of game. I really think that I haven’t struggled with nothing because I always I always do my work and follow directions. The only thing I have mostly have gotten problems with Is the technology vocabulary test. The reason I have problems with the test Is because maybe I had never heard them In my life or I just can’t remember them. I think that for helping others students understand technology better Is to tell them the reason we want them to work hard, what will happen If they do work hard.
The changes that I will want In technology are that my class gets more focused, following instructions so we won’t get behind from other classes because that way we won’t get our work done quickly. Well I don’t really have any fun Ideas because I really like technology already the way It is. Well I only have one Idea maybe help us how to customize stuff. How to make flyer's or websites, specially how to make business cards.

Toros Game

I think that the Toros game was very great, even do they lost I still think that they made great shoots when they were winning. This was my first time going to a Toros game so I had some kind of weird experiences. My weird experiences are that I don't really like basketball but now since I watched the game I can see that I am going to start going to more Toros game, the truth Is that even do I didn't used to like It I kind of like It now. The best thing that I liked was that they were throwing out some free stuff like some t-shirts, tickets and other stuff. I was kind of disappointed because a shirt that they threw was mines but then this kid pulled It from my hand aha I was so mad. Then when they were on their break our principal told us that If we wanted to go to the concession stand to buy some food to go because then the game was about to start back so we wouldn't miss any of the game. So I went there and I was thinking about what to buy because there was a lot of stuff that I liked and the problem was that I didn't had enough money to buy everything, I only had 5 bucks and that could only buy 1 or 2 stuff. So i finally was in the line, but I didn't really wanted to buy anything but the lady said hey c'mon what do you want and I said popcorn so I bought popcorn It was very huge so I shared with my friends then I was full and told my cousin Yenifer If she wanted them so I gave them to her. Then the Vipers where winning which shouldn't supposed to happen and It happened. Then they said that the Vipers had won so they did and then we left that was It I think that the field trip to the Austin Toros was great.

The most thing that I am more excited about Is that we get to use flash so It can help us with the action script. Once I had seen a flash video making a drawing move I felt so cool because no other school works with this. The flash will help us create our games wonderful.
The topic that I will be doing with my game Is education because I want children to succeed even If they think they can't do It or that they are dumb they still can work they will succeed with my game. I want them to know that education is the key to everything mostly. It's not just about going to school and get a job no If you don't graduate or get a degree they might not hire you In a very good job you'll end up In a stupid job. You are where you shouldn't suppose to be you need to be a doctor, pediatrician or just a great person.

Thanksgiving

What I do in Thanksgiving day is that the night before thanksgiving I go with my mom to the store and buy all the things that I need for the celebration party. The next morning I wake up really early with my mom and my grandma so I can help them get everything done before the family gets home. My favorite thing that I like about helping my mom out Is that I get to do my favorite dessert cheesecake which I love making it. The 2ND thing that I like about It Is that I get to have fun Instead of sleeping in. Once the family Is here before we eat we always take pictures of the whole family so we can remember our happy family. Then grandma calls us to come eat and while we eat we can pray If we want to we also tell jokes we ask each other remember that time when we went to the carnival just remembering our favorite memories. After we have done eating we cut the cake and the cheesecake. Sometimes my uncle brings good movies and after eating we watch them and have a pretty good time with the family I love so much. This time I think that my family won't be all together because every year my aunt goes to see her mom and my other uncle has to take care of my newborn little cousin because he is sick and was born before he supposed to. I have a feeling that this time my family won't be together my mom says that If the family Isn't going to be together we won't celebrate Thanksgiving.

Technology

What I have learned in technology this week was how to do action Script by that I mean that I was learning how to make objects move from one place to another using flash and layers.
It think It will be hard to use and do because you have to use some codes that have these weird letters and also some objects I'd never seen In my life like semicolons that I never knew how to use. The second thing that I learned from technology this week was how to modify objects in the flash to convert them into symbols also how to erase them. The most thing that I think I will be struggling is Action Script because when I was watching the video it seemed very hard to me I barely understood it and the other things I kind of understand them not very well but I do get their point of view. Like I said that ActionScriopt seemed very hard to me well know my goal is to know how to do Action Script because I want It to be really easy to me know because when I learn how to do I won't have trouble doing it with my game. I bet that by the end of the year I will know how to do Action Script I will even help my friend s how to do It.


ACTIONSCRIPT RESEARCH

This is a great video that I found It guides you really well to flash 3.0 just go to:http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Create-a-Simple-Flash-Movie-in-Flash-CS3-188474784 and to see the website go to:http://www.ask.com/bar?q=how+to+work+with+flash+3.0&page=1&qsrc=0&dm=all&ab=0&title=senocular.com+Tutorial%3A+Getting+Started+with+ActionScript+3.0+in&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.senocular.com%2Fflash%2Ftutorials%2Fas3withflashcs3%2F&sg=5VoYHD%2FdYGadNHlnqEQGav%2B1yYNAZyR%2FiboNNuWK0IE%3D&tsp=1257439314097

Technology

I feel that I am doing everything good in technology class I don't think that I am doing bad in nothing because I've always been an intelligent student. Really I don't have that much trouble only in the vocabulary words for the test. I have trouble remembering their definitions because I am not really used to know and talk technology words only using the computer.

I am frustrated about my classmates not knowing what to do just because they weren't paying attention they were in some other websites wondering around and that causes Ms. Miller not to go on because she has to help them also we loose time and we get behind. What I can do to get a better understanding of the class would be maybe to help the other kids when they are falling behind maybe tell them to get out of the websites and follow Ms.Miller for us not to loose time and get work done. Also the technology people can block the websites that they go to when we are in task so they don't go to them. What Ms.Miller can do to help us understand the concepts of Globaloria are she can tell us what's the reason we are doing Globaloria, what will happen if we don't get it done, what if we get behind or what fun we'll we miss if we don't design the games.

An art game or arthouse game is a video game that is designed in such a way as to emphasize art or whose structure is intended to produce some kind of reaction in its audience. Art games typically go out of their way to have a unique, unconventional look, often standing out for aesthetic beauty or complexity in design. This concept extends to the realm of modified ("modded") gaming when modifications have been made to existing non-art-games to produce graphic results intended to be viewed as an artistic display, as opposed to modifications intended to change game play scenarios or for storytelling. Modified games created for artistic purposes are sometimes referred to as "video game art."My toughts about an art game would be that maybe the person who invented it is trying to get people to draw to checkout their designs so I say that the inventor is making us express ourselves with art.

An adventure game is a video game in which the player assumes the role of protagonist in an interactive story that is driven by exploration and puzzle-solving instead of physical challenges such as combat. The term originates from the 1970s computer game Adventure and relates to the style of game play pioneered in that game, rather than the kind of story being told.
The adventure genre's focus on story allows it to draw heavily from other narrative-based media, such as literature and film. Adventure games encompass a wide variety of literary genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror, and comedy. Nearly all adventure games are designed for a single player, since the heavy emphasis on story and character makes multi-player design difficult.Because these games require strong characters and plots, character development tends to follow literary conventions of personal and emotional growth, rather than growth that affects game play.
The genre's popularity peaked during the late 1980s and mid 1990s when many considered it to be among the most technically advanced genres, and it is now sometimes considered to be a niche genre. According to the Entertainment Software Association, in 2007 Adventure Games comprised 4.3% of Video Game Super Genres by units sold in the US (up from 3.4% in 2006) and 5% of best-selling Computer Game Super Genres](down from 5.7% in 2006. although it is not clear how the Super Genre was defined.I think that an adventure game is really about fighting has to do with enemies the person is trying to express his self in the game. To prove that his adventurous.

What Would You Do?

What I really learned is that when we are in the age of teens we should think good before doing something bad they are trying to protect us.The main purpose of the game is that they are trying to compare the decisions between teens so maybe to see what would they do if they were the ones who were suffering for example if they did something bad and they are in trouble they would like to know what would you do maybe they could get your help.
For me the game was very good they did a great job in the characters,names,drawings and also the words.I didn't really like the background color for their game because that color is mostly for recycle,the green help I would suggest for them to change the color to make it go more with the story.My 2ND suggestion is to add some more information about what will happen to them if they do bad choices.More information about HIV,CANCER,INFECTIONS all the diseases that they can get when having sex and not thinking in themselves.I would like to learn how do they make the characters move or make them together.I would also like to learn how do they make the talking bubbles next to them with words.

Are You Making the Right Choices?

The main purpose of the game called: Are You Making the Right Choices? Is that they are trying to get teens not to ruin their life's by having a baby at a young age.
Every year 75% of teens get pregnant and drop out of school. The game is trying to prevent them from what they are doing.
I really think that they should add more things that belong with the games for example some pictures or videos,and posters.They should change the background to a color more sorrowful.More about what will happen to them if they decide to do does bad decisions.My suggestions would be to maybe add something that really get the player into it do more reading and writing about what they are going to do with their future what should they be aware of how to protect themselves I am saying this because at the entrance of the game It doesn't really gets you like to get really excited.I really liked that the game doesn't need instructions because is really easy to play It just asks you questions..Do they want to ruin their life's with a kid.The things that I would like to learn would be the stars that are moving in the entrance of the game, also how to add music to it and how to change the colors of the images.

Cakes

I am interesting in pastry cakes because my mom had told me that when she was in Mexico she had her own store of selling pastry cakes so now I wanna follow her past.I want to become a pastry chef. I really like how they decorate the cakes,what they put in the inside.Also some pastry chef's have some secret recipes to their flavor of cakes.I also like this because I've seen that I always like baking or cooking for other people I just like being a lot in the kitchen doing business.Pastry Chef's get paid a lot so that's the reason that I want to become a Pastry Chef.
Creative Cakes - More bloopers are a click away

I love Cakes.

When I went to Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Center,this flowers got most of my attention because you touched them and they would close themselves. I really liked it when we went upstairs to the tower because we could see almost everything. When I was up there i could smell all the nature from down there I felt like if i was a bee pollinating the flowers.
I smelled the chocolate flowers it made me wanted to eat them but i controlled myself from chocolate. I also saw this big big caterpillars that were eating a plant they were huge and fat because of what they ate. While I was in the trail I could see little insects trying to run away from us so we wouldn't had to step on them or kill them. I also smelled the fresh water and the food at the cafe.

Learning Technology

Today I learned how to post images on my blog I really liked it because when I post in my blog it shows what expressions I have. I also learned how to add a blog in my google reader. I really liked the blogs that I added to my google reader because it showed me the fashion that I like
for example: polka dot dresses, nail polish, flat irons, just fashion stuff that I like.
I also learned how to get blogs and how to search for them. The blogs that I saw helped me
in decorating my blog because they have fashion dresses that i think they're fashionable.

Technology Class

Right now in tech class i would like to learn much more about technology for example how to do power point presentations or maybe how to do charts just fun stuff maybe one day i get to be a secretary.In technology class we will have a competition for games soon. I am afraid to challenge big problems. Also I hope I win the game competition so I can go to Washington to present the game. I am thinking about making my game about a carnival or an amusement park at a city where and accident happens and maybe you have to fix them. Idea #2: designing makeup for dolls design they're own clothes. Idea #3 a day at school where there is going to be a test for each class and you need to pass them or else they give you lunch detention and a big fat zero. *Wish myself some luck this year!*
