Feeling Lonely...

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 01:41:00 +0000

(My video is actually on the bottom. This one to the left I dont like, but I dont know how to cut it out of the post) So...

I am so proud at this moment!I have just completed something I never thought I would ever have believed I could do. Why? Because I suck at technology!!But I did it! And the best part is that I did it all by myself, with the help of Professor, Bianca, and Elisha. (Thanks you gals) I really got a lot out of this class. I learndeed a whole lot of programs and applications that allow you to do wonderous things on the computer. Everything amazed, frustrated, and left me anxious. But it was all in good fun.

I want to thank the professor fro all her patience with such a simple minded girl like me. I also want to thank all of my classmembers who, like the gracious Professor, answered all my desperate emails, or phone calls asking for help.

We are goig to start the Spring semester in a few months and it will be my last here at SJSU. I will miss it very much. I have met so many friends here that I will cherish everyone and every moment of tears and laughter as long as I live. I will be starting my internship next semester at SJ Mercury news. I'll be working in thier Advertising Dept. making ads, selling advertisment and consulting with potential customers. I am very excited.

Although my passion is copywriting, I want to also learn the Media buying branch in Advertising.

So Adios, everyone. God Bless you all on your journey through life. I hope we see eachother again. You will always have a friend in me, as I hope I have in you.

I am sick

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:05:00 +0000

With only a week and a half of school left and I am sick! I really need to get better because I have finals coming up, we are having a Christmas party at my house and I need to prepare the house for it and I have Winter session starting soon.

I hate being sick, the only good part is that you lose a few pounds in the process bu it isn;t the ideal way to lose it- talk about sacrifice!

Here's to your health!

What Month Are We In?

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:25:00 +0000

I cannot believe it's already December!

I have been in my books, hibernating over chapter and papers that I have forgotten to take notice on the seasons changing. The last time I looked up we were in August.

The striking thought is that if we are now in winter- where's the rain?? For sure by now it has rained a few days. Global warming? The sun is shinning, but I do admit the cold air is causing me to have a little bit of a sore thoart. Hopefully my body can resist any intruding virus because I have winter session starting in a month.

As I mentioned before in a blog, I love winter- so being in December is like a kid at a candy store.

The only thing I hate about December are the forever winding lines at the grocery store, mall, post office, Christmas tree lot, etc. But I forgive it, because as much as we hate certain things- those are the things that make what we love.

Actions

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 02:00:00 +0000

I just watched a movie that really calls 'self control' to be evaluated. "A Place in the Sun" told the story of a young man who secretly loves one woman but has a romantic relationship with another woman. He ends up impregnating the woman just as his secret crush finally notices him.

As the expectant woman presses him to marry her, he resolves to kill her and the unborn child. It sounds very Scott Peterson, but this film was made in the fifties. It stars Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.

After watching the movie one has to tell themselves that every action we take makes a permanent effect. We need to always remember self control, to play consequences in our mind before we act out, and to communicate when troubles arise- hiding and lying will only make mattes worse.

A very powerful and poignant movie for a Sunday to say the least.

Senior Anxiety

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 18:15:00 +0000

I just registered for my classes today. I is the last time I ever register for a school semester. I will be graduating in May and I might continue my education, but I don't know.

School, as stressful as it can be, is also a lot of fun. I have met so many friends and shared a lot of emotional times with classmates that I will miss them tremendously.

I know I am getting too emotional, it isn't my last semester yet. But I just want to savor the "college life" and not let it pass me by. So many students just can't wait to "get out" that they will later remember these times with great fondness.

STRESSED OUT!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 02:50:00 +0000

I have come to the point in the semester where I have no time for anytime. This includes showering and eating.

Have no fear- I am aware of the need of these two protocols fro the longevity of my survival physically and socially.

So I am going to keep this short and sweet. I have had a major explosion from all the stress in the parking lot one morning of last week. Poor kid, I think he was a freshman and I scared the bejeezers out of him. But hey he deserved it. The kid stole my parking spot when I had been waiting for a spot for about an hour. He had no right to park there and should have expected the consequence of my wrath.

But other than that everything has been okay. I haven't gone into hysterics yet,only minor tears, thank God!

Good luck all of y'all for the next month or so!!

Smile!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 22:08:00 +0000

Have you notices that people you pass on the street or on campus never smile? You probably haven't since you always walk with your face down trying to avert any eye contact with others.

Many people today have forgotten the common public courtesies and reverence to mankind with a polite, simple smile and a "good afternoon".

People often have trouble even looking into the eyes of someone they are talking to. Our we losing our sense of interpersonal connections? Someone once said that if someone doesn't look him in the eye either he is lying or has no manners.

People don't even exchange phone numbers anymore, it's now primarily email addresses. Call me old fashioned, but I like to pick up a phone and call someone directly- it's much faster than waiting around for a response back. And isn't that the premise of technology-to make man more speedy and efficient?

I think we should all try to do our part and bring back societies decorum. It would make our communities more pleasant and less scary. Not everyone is serial killer out there; and you might just boost up someones, and perhaps your, mood and attitude.

Winter Beats Summer Anyday

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:05:00 +0000

I love the sound of rain hitting my window pane. It makes me want to snuggle deeper in my blankets and comforters. I remember my childhood during winters symphony. Playing hide and go seek with my brothers, baking cookies with my mom, and watching dad build a fire before the family movie.

The rain allows us to stop from our busy schedules and watch how beautiful our earth is. The air smells of wood, the colors ever more vibrant, and the sentimentality of mankind a little more sweeter. Every year the earth is baptized clean and we are witnesses to it's new beginning.

In the summer you can't run away from the heat! It attacks you and makes the most polite grouchy. In the winter if your cold you put on your mittens, or grab a cup of hot chocolate and cuddle with your honey. The winters can bite, but your soft sweaters forgive father winter in a flash.

One Pet Equals Seven Years

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 03:34:00 +0000

Have you heard that by having a pet, you can add seven years to your life's expectancy? Well, that's what I heard on the news yesterday and I am thrilled to hear it.

I always knew that my two dogs brought happiness, laughs, and playfulness to my life, now they have just saved it...for a while, at least.

I wonder though: since I have two dogs, does that mean I can expect to live fourteen extra years? If that's so- I am gonna go out and adopt five more!

Fame: privilage or curse?

I just watched 20/20 in an interview with Jenna Bush, one of the First Daughters.

She mentioned that she tries to live as normally as possible and doesn't want to be regarded for her father's high position, but for her work as a teacher in UNICEF. After watching the interview, I couldn't help but wonder what I would do, and how much I would take advantage of the situation she is in.

I would go to as many parties, spend lots of money, and not worry about speeding tickets because, "Hello, I'm the President's daughter!"

Celebrities often remark on how hard it is to be in the limelight and paparazzi flash bulbs : it must be true given the unanimous strife, but gosh, what I would give for about six months of Hollywood stardom. Walking on the red-carpet, champagne cocktails and caviar dreams; what a fantasy!

T minus 10 Months

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 04:55:00 +0000

Since I am allowed to write as I may in this blog (as long as I am keeping up with the postings), I would like to discuss today my upcoming nuptials.

I am in the process of planning my (and my fiance's, of course) wedding. We have decided to make it a traditional affair in my family's church with a lovely reception in the Hotel Valencia at Santana Row. This is all of course after we have asked permission from my pastor, and put a retainer payment on the hotel. But at least we have decided on a spot!

I am looking forward to my wedding day, which will be tentatively on July 26, 2008. However, I am a bit saddened that I'll have to leave my parents' home; the home I have in for 26 years. I am the youngest child and the only girl, needless to say, I had it good.

It's funny how the things you dream your whole life about will intimidate you when it finally comes.

Hello World!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele Herrera Garcia) — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 01:16:00 +0000

I have arrived to the 21st century!

I am a simple girl who couldn't tell you the difference between a MAC and a PC, what a hyperlink is, and fumbles through a basic Power-Point presentation.

Yes, I am a Generation Y baby, but I must have been left in the schoolyard while they were teaching technology lessons in the classroom. Nevertheless, I have made it my mission to catch-up with the five year-olds who knew how to work a computer at birth;)

Stay tuned as I explore the new technological discoveries in this great, vast Computer Age!(even though these may be ten year old "discoveries"- it's better late than never)

God Bless and Go Spartans!
