Best of 2012

1.   What is the best song?
I really like "I Almost Do" by Taylor Swift because it has relatable lyrics that you can listen to when you're feeling down. Its good to listen and realize that someone eltse understands what you're going through and its just a very good song.


2.   What was the best movie of 2012?
My favorite movie from 2012 is Five Year Engagement its a very funny and romantic movie. Its really hard to find a good romantic comedy where afterwards you just think to yourself "wow that was a really good movie" and that happened after that move. I also really like the actor in the movie, he is also on How I Met Your Mother. He plays Marshal and he has a really cute relationship in the TV show so It was weird seeing him in this movie with some other lady. But It really was a good movie.

3.  What was the most important news story of the year?
I believe that the mass shootings are the most important stories this year. It is important to take time to realize that those were real people with lives that were taken. It is important to educate the citizens about these horrific occurrences to prevent them from continuously happening again. 

4. Who was the most important person of 2012?
I do not believe there is one person that is most important to 2012. I think theres a mixture of great influential people who combined sparked change in this world. 

1. I went to SanAntino with my family to visit my uncle and his new house.
2. I don't really make resolutions but i hope to be happy 
3. Being happy and growing as a person 

Welcome Back!

I really like this photo because it looks very majestic. It almost looks unreal like its from another planet . The dew is very clear but the background is not too clear and I like the contrast.  

 I really like the use of line and pattern in this photo. It also has good depth with many layers  and also has an interesting viewpoint. 

This is one of my favorite pictures because it is light and happy and joyful. It has a positive vibe. I also like the facial expression of the little boy at the bottom of the photo.
