Art

Art is one of my passions.....something I appreciate and admire. Without the work of art we would not exist,  our lives would be boring and our imaginationswould be somewhat useless. Art has different interpretations and the way you interpret art, I believe is form of art too since, its being able to see things, images or ideas from a different point of veiw.  As, to my point of veiw, I believe there are many different sides to a story so when looking at an image I view it in diverse perspectives thinking about the different messages it could be portraying. Colors tell a lot about an imagery as it could depict the mood of the imagery as sad, gloomy, boring, exciting, happy, etc. or may simple be sarcastic. Abstract art is one of my favourites....I could write a neverending blog about art but to make it short and sweet.... Art is the way in which we use our imaginations.... we are all artists just unique ones as we all have our own interpretations.

Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging symbolic elements in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics, and even disciplines such as history and psychoanalysis analyze its relationship with humans and generations.
Traditionally, the term art was used to refer to any skill or mastery. This conception changed during the Romantic period, when art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science". Generally, art is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts and emotions.

"French"

Como cava? Ja m appell Lysette. Como tu appell? Have you ever been interested in learing a new language? Well, I've been very interested in learning other languages for it is interesting, fun, and beneficial as you are able to communicate with people of other cultures and it serves as an asset when in search for a job or even if you are self employed. French is one of the languages that I've been very interested to learn along with Mandarine and Maya. In highschool I had enrolled in a French club, it did not last very long but I surelly did enjoy it and learnt a few words.  It is somewhat similar to the Spanish language so I had an easier time learning the basics.  From since then I liked the language and hope to someday be able to learn it in dept.  What is your veiw in foreign languages?
French is a Romance language spoken as a first language by around 136 million people worldwide

"Entreprenuership"

"Time is money!" a famous quote and one of the things my mom keeps on reminding me of,  for as looooong as i can remember.... and has proven to be very true. I have greatly taken into consideration this quote as an advice to motivate me towards one of my top aims.  That is, to become an entreprenuer. Thus, I've started to work on this aim of mine as from now and hope to begin before I graduate from this pretigious institution. An entreprenuer as stated by wikipediia is is a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome. However, as to my meaning, an entrepuer is someone who takes great risks no matter how small the business may start off as.  Also, someone who knows his or her competition very well.  As to my point of veiw the risk is worth taking for if you don't try, you'll never know what could have been of that so desired aim.....Entreprenuership...is all about the quote time and money. I must not forget knowledge, passion and skills too!!!!

Chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you know that chocolate is good for you?

Another one of my favourites! Chocolate..... "Chocolat" in french.  It comprises a number of raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Many of you may think chocolate is unhealthy as it contains lots of sugar and as just extra calories but as proven it is actually healthy. It just depends on how much you consume it as too much of anything is not good. Also the type of chocolate...... so heres a little infomation on the good news  from professionals on why dark chocolate is good for you!

Dark chocolate not white chocolate lowers high blood pressure, say Dirk Taubert, MD, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Cologne, Germany. Their report appears in the Aug. 27 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

But that's no license to go on a chocolate binge. Eating more dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure if you've reached a certain age and have mild high blood pressure, say the researchers. But you have to balance the extra calories by eating less of other things.

 Also, dark chocolate -- but not milk chocolate or dark chocolate eaten with milk -- is a potent antioxidant, report Mauro Serafini, PhD, of Italy's National Institute for Food and Nutrition Research in Rome, and colleagues. Their report appears in the Aug. 28 issue of Nature. Antioxidants gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments.

"Our findings indicate that milk may interfere with the absorption of antioxidants from chocolate ... and may therefore negate the potential health benefits that can be derived from eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate."

Translation: Say "Dark, please," when ordering at the chocolate counter. Don't even think of washing it down with milk. And if health is your excuse for eating chocolate, remember the word "moderate" as you nibble.

Ice Cream!

Yum! Yum! Yum! Who doesnt like icecream? If you do you are certainly missing out. Ice cream a wonderful invention... its like a get away from a hard days work to just sit back, chilax and enjoy that  deliciously flavored, cold dessert melting in your mouth.... Icecream.... healthy and tasty.

Ice cream or ice-cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavourings and colourings are used in addition to (or in replacement of) the natural ingredients. This mixture is stirred slowly while cooling to prevent large ice crystals from forming; the result is a smoothly textured ice cream.

The meaning of the term ice cream varies from one country to another. Terms like frozen custard, frozen yogurt, sorbet, gelato and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. In some countries, like the USA, the term ice cream applies only to a specific variety, and their governments regulate the commercial use of all these terms based on quantities of ingredients. In others, like Italy and Argentina, one word is used for all the variants. Alternatives made from soy milk, rice milk, and goat milk are available for those who are lactose intolerant or have an allergy to dairy protein, or in the case of soy and rice milk, for those who want to avoid animal products.

"Education"

Education! Yes! our parents constantly reminding us of its importance, the cost, and the benefits. Most of the time we take it for granted and forget about the many sacrifices our parents o guardians do to provide us with this neccessity of life. On the other hand, others may disagree with this and say I am paying my own way, but isn't it a sacrifice too? Education is a neccessity and  I emphasize that because in this world it is like a passport to a decent survival.... so fellow classmates and anyone reading this post please make the most of your education... don't take it for granted. I believe that its something you'll always carry with you..... Education is the way to go!

"Fashion"

How many of you loooove fashion? Well i do, but have you ever thought about what you consider to be fashionable? As for me fashion is not necessarily what is in style but it is rather what looks neat and sophisticated. In other words, "Simple but beautiful".  Fashion can consist of some sparkle, lace, silk or any strange but unique material.  However, anything having too much of something for instance, too much sparkle or pattern may not neccessarily look good on everyone. In order to look fashionable you should wear clothing that suits your body, makes you look presentable, is appropriate for the occasion and makes you feel comfortable. Anything showing too much (skimpy clothing) or hiding your body in it (Big clothing) is not the best choice.  The way you dress speaks a lot of your personality, however it may also be deceiving.  Fashion is also not always about wearing the most expensive clothing. The fact that something is expensive does not mean it looks good. Thats my veiw on fashion. What is your view? .........

"Hurricanes"

Over the years hurricanes have destroyed many homes and families. Hurricane  "Richard" being one of them.  Natural disasters cannot be avoided, however something can be done to help repair its destruction. It is very sad to know that many families have often been given no help or if given, very little.  Thus, as a community we should come together and help one another also let the government hear our voices. As to my point of veiw the goverenment needs to wake up and start to be more considerate and productive. What do you think?????????????
