Acting

I do envy the superlative and talented actors of the world. The ability to impersonate a character is a feat within itself. An actor or actress must be dauntless and daring with one's performance, averting from their own insecurities. Actors are endued witih the ability to confer complete emotional expression, making their performance seem genuine and real. To be an actor means to be conscientious about your performance and to avoid being caitiff.

Rafa Compares and Contrasts

Me and my father have striking similarities. For instance, both of us have deep singing voices. When I was taking choir in school, I immediatly remembered how my dad used to sing at parties. Also, we both love cake to an extent we could eat a whole bakery. But, even though me and my dad have certain things in common, we also differ on various things. For one, although we both like to sing, he also likes to play guitar while I haven't learned to play anything. And, of course, my father loves to, not only eat cake, but to make cakes. I, on the other hand, find it irksome to cook something that isn't mess-proof.

Rafa's Cramming and its Side Effects

I had a bit of a trite habit of studying two days before the test.
Very haughtily, I would believe that two days of studying would be
enough for me to get a good grade for said test. I would believe
myself to be astute, thinking I could cram in all the information just
in time to take the test, get a good grade and act like a total
braggart for the rest of the week. But, as always, the consequences of my mistake were inevitable. As a result of my obsolete cramming session, I only remembered the easy topics, but couldn't remember the subjects that take time to learn. From this last experience, I learned to be more conscientious about my study habits.

Rafa, The Medium: Conversation With Don Salvador

Conversation with dead family member Don Salvador.

Me: I never understood. What are you in my family? Are you my uncle or something?

Don: I am your aunts stepather. Or was.

Me: Oh ok. Well I miss you. Even though the holidays were filled with animosity, the best Christmas present I ever got was when you said I was a good kid.

Don: Don’t mention it. And I mean’t it, don’t you forget it.

Me: I’ll try. You know, you’re really well spoken without that stuttering of yours.

Don: One of the few benefits of being dead. Everything that used to hold me down doesn’t anymore.

Me: It must be a relief being released from the burden of your wheelchair. Say, can you run in the afterlife?

Don: You never run. You just stay. You just are.

Me: That’s interesting.

Don: Somewhat. You never do anything but meddle into peoples lives

Me: Doesn’t that mean you’re in limbo?

Don: No, it just means there’s certain issues with my loved ones that keep me from “going into the light”.

Me: Oh. Well good luck with that. By the way, I think ______ has a crush on me and it creeps me out.

Don: Relax. She has a crush on everybody.

Me: Oh great. Not only am I creeped out, but now I feel totally un-special.

Don: You’re welcome.

Camila Featuring Colbie Caillat - Entre tus Alas

When I was informed of this assignment, I really had no clue which song I wanted to talk about. I didn't know what song was "blog post worthy". So what I did was I put my Ipod on shuffle and the first song that came up would be the one I would talk about. And thus, "Entre Tus Alas" by Camila Featuring Colbie Caillat was chosen.

I adore the song “Entre Tus Alas” by Camila featuring Colbie Caillat. The song is carefree and relaxing. It is a love song, but it makes me feel something much more powerful than love. It makes me feel bliss.To me, it represents where I want to be in life. I want to be relaxed and carefree, and I want to live blissfully.

Rafa, The Time Traveler

If you had some sort of time machine, where would you travel to? Using the word "where" instead of the word "when" seems erroneous, since I am referring to travelling to a specific time, no matter how far back or how far beyond in time. If technology were advanced enough for me to roam through time, I wouldnt want to stray to far from the new millennium. I would set my time machine to a familiar era. In this case, I would want to travel to the nineties, since I spent most of my childhood throughout this period of time. When visiting this specific era, I would go to all the places I grew up in. By doing this, I would get a second look at some of the most beautiful moments in my life. I would witness my first years, which include my first words and steps, and I would get to see my parents at a younger age. If I could go back in time to the nineties, I would get to relive some of my fondest childhood memories.

Rafa, The Woman

I once had a frightful dream where I had been transformed into a woman. Even more so, a nightmare, for I was a man incarcerated in a beautiful woman’s body, left in a man’s world where most wanted to keep me as a trophy for themselves. At one point, I got tired of being this prize men sought after, so I decided to go beyond what was expected of a beautiful woman, by getting an education and becoming a successful businesswoman. But, even though I had a triumphant career, I still was seen as just a beautiful woman, only this time, no man ever dared to pursue me. Days after this stupor, I found this dream of mine to be a reality to most women. I realized that if, for some reason, I were turned into a woman, I would not survive a week alive, due to the fact that I am not strong enough to be a woman.
