Laughing Baby

For some reason, this video always makes me laugh. The baby's laugh is so distinct, it sounds as if the baby's laugh is already matured. I just love how the baby laughs at the most simplest sounds that people make.

Class Blogs

In Will's blog, I found an interestingly creative video of a man making art out of a small cup of capuchino. I think Capuchino art is a very unique way to attract customers. It made me want to learn how to design capuchinos just as the guy in the video did.

Also, in Sebastian's blog, I liked how he posted a really funny commercial that advertised Starburst's Berries and Cream. I agreed with what he said, "I just feel that everyone has to see it." Like Sebastian, I also thought everyone should see this commercial as well since it is a hilariously entertaining commercial.

In Alonzo's blog, I found a really interesting video once again, this time, it's about futuristic gadgets that could truly make your life easier. As I watched the video, it made me realize just how futuristic our world is getting every day. Someday, I would love to have one of those gadgets featured in the video.

In Angelina's blog, I liked how she included pictures of what she thought her family was. I thought this was a very creative way of expressing her definition of what a family can be.

Just like in Angelina's blog, I thought it was also creative how Julian posted a picture of what he thought family was. In his blog, he gave a detailed explanation as to what he truly thought about his family. He thought his family, "are the people that love and care for me and look out for me." To me, that's how I define family as well.

Podomatic Podcasts

Today, I listened to several students' podcasts. In Julian's podcast, he included some detailed information about Halo 3, along with the positives and negatives associated with the video game as well. He also mentioned the video game's accomplishments and his personal opinions concerning his topic. I thought he did a great job since he made his podcast seem as if he was the DJ of a radio station. I also liked how he advertised and mentioned certain important dates that were associated with the product.

Another podcast I liked was Angelina's. Angelina's podcast includes the consequences and basic information of smoking and doing drugs. I liked how she tried to encourage people to say NO to smoking and drugs as well. Her podcast also contains a helpful website to gain more information and help about drugs and the dangers of smoking.

Podcast Experience

I liked how the podcast directory could easily be navigated since it categorized the different sets of podcasts it has available. It was great how you could get every podcast you wanted with no fees required. Podcasting is a great way of getting some in-depth information you want on certain topics that are free of charge. It also doesn't require much experience to function properly. I use Itunes regularly but don't pay much attention to the podcast icon. Now that podcasting has been introduced to me, I'd actually consider downloading some onto my Ipod.

Family






A family can be loving, trustworthy, entertaining, humorous, strict, thoughtful, supportive, and so much more. Not one family in this world is perfect. All families come with different types of flaws that actually help blossom our families' relationships. My family consists of my dad, Leo, my mom, Anna, and my younger sister, Krizelle. There's barely any moment that my family goes through harsh arguments; even if we did, we would just be arguing about the funniest topics you'd ever think about. You may think this is peculiar, but believe it or not, my parents still act as if they were my age. At times, my sister and I think that we are much maturer than our own parents.








Families don't always consist only of your parents and their offsprings; in fact, your closest friends could also be a part of your family. Just like your main family, they could provide the love and support that you need to go through your daily life. In addition, they also bear flaws in their personalities that, at times, could lead to fights.

What is Family?

In my opinion, a family can be anyone that truly loves and cares for you no matter what. A family can range from your own loving circle of relatives and even to your well-trusted circle of friends. It could also range from your household pets to your hated neighbors as well. A family can be absolutely anyone that has left an imprint in your life, whether it may be big or small, good or bad, they could still impact your life.

My main family circle includes my parents, my younger sister, as well as my close relatives. They often keep me on my feet and joyously entertained 24/7. A circle of friends could be considered family as well. Typically, they provide the same love and care as your main family does, just with a slight difference.

My family circle doesn't have as much of a variety as my circle of friends. I don't think it really matters whether or not there is a variety of people in a family, either way, the results would still be the same. Although there is not much of a variety in my main family, there is still a great variety of generations between my family members. To think about it, I believe my mom's side of the family have a total of four generations currently living.

The quote, "Families evolve from a patchwork of possibilities", is meant to explain the various possibilities that could result in forming a family. It helps people realize that forming any type of family could work in various ways.
