So I’ve been messing around with MS Paint again because I recently made a new blog on Tumblr which will contain just black and white photos from my daily life. I found a great theme that contained a sidebar but I didn’t have any image to put in said sidebar and I wasn’t happy just […] Continue reading →

I felt GUILTY reading my teacher’s, Michael, post because it revealed all the things I’m lacking and what I’m too lazy to improve. I am not one to procrastinate, but I dont enjoy the challenge of learning new creative ways to do GIFS and other works because I’ll have to force myself o watch some annoying video of a … Read More → Continue reading →

I felt most confident with my site layout. I had fun putting personality into and adding a touch of my own style to my site. It wasn’t a hard process that was confusing and required me to resource to Google for help like when I have to do something for Photoshop! I think I can … Read More → Continue reading →

I looked at the advice given to us by the CT238 class. And alot of it is good advice. I mean I will keep this blog after this class. As a journalist it would really come in handy. Also I would need to change the name of the  site. That can’t be too hard to […] Continue reading →

After reading Professor Michael Smith’s blog post, which contained some awesome advice from previous CT 399 students, I was immediately struck with inspiration and motivation to work harder at figuring out what I want to do with my time and finding new ways to create original, or just generally creative content. The most helpful bits […] Continue reading →

It is interesting to think about how the Internet is a community. We are able to help and teach other, which makes this worthwhile. The biggest thing I can take way from the 399 course is that you should always, ALWAYS use technology as life habits. I am usually against this because I feel that […] Continue reading →

So Ryan taught me this week that ‘it is super important to have a contrast of between what you like and what you don’t like when selecting content’. Michael taught me that I need to learn to ‘form an opinion about how choices are made. This is you identifying your tastes.’ Actually they have both been … Continue reading →

There are many feelings I have on this. Two weeks ago one of my favorite mangas, Naruto, ended. And it left me  feeling emotions. Happy, Sad, fufilled, excited. But there was one emotion I was surprised to have felt Pride. And not pride for the writer Kishimoto-sensei. I am talking pride in a character. The […] Continue reading →

As a coffee lover due to being a college student, I fell in love with the latte art the barristers always amaze me with their latte art.

The most important  or valuable piece of information that I take away from their advise is to maintain my domain space, which means I need to pay to renew my website, by paying the $25 fee every year. It’s important to keep up and update my online identity. This is something I already know. So […] Continue reading →

This blog has changed quite a bit since I made it at the beginning of the semester and it just seems so full of activity and content as opposed to how empty and lackluster it was initially. I’ve changed my theme at least 50 times and I’m still not happy with it. WordPress really isn’t […] Continue reading →

Life of the party eh. What an interesting name for a short film where the leading role is murdered in every outcome. However I think overall the class put forward a very good effort collectively to bring everything together as a first effort. I think with everyone besides the actors and even they themselves would […]

The Journalism Enrichment Seminar on International Reporting, held today at CUNY York College, was very enlightening. The panel included Fritz-Earle McLymont, Sadef Kully, Joe Wei, and Garry Pierre-Pierre. Fritz-Earle McLymont is not a journalist, he is the Managing Director at NMBC Global; however, he uses journalism to make business decisions. Although McLymont is not in […] Continue reading →
