We're Going Bowling I Think

Day 2 of maybe going to go bowling. I  was busying posting so many old stories that I forgot to blog. The first thing I would normal do is blog when I first enter the room to get a laptop but I guess I wanted to go all out on posting. I got a lot done today. I even posted a story with a video and I think I was the first one. We are going to Chelsey Piers to bowl if we're going. Eric found a sweet picture of Tamarra last night. Me and Rosa were rollin when we saw it, it looks just like her too. We going to use Photo shop and make it with black eye liner and converse.

..::Still Working? Of Course::..

So yea, right now I just got over a headache and I am tryin to finish this video by tonight. My team had 2 meetings 2day addressing various issues. Also Anthony, Savasia and I went to Black Ink tattoo parlor. That was the longest interview I've ever been on. But it was real cool. I never knew that each tattoo artist have their own speciality. I also liked the different designs that they had on there working spaces. So yea. I don't have much to say so Im outtie.....

..::Vogue Princess::..

no sleeping???

Im kind of tired, but i gotta do work until i drop, which now i should take a break but i feel just make interviews and then i could less worry because there is little time for the big event. I need to prepare for the presentation. This is different what I had in mind. I thought i was search stories, but never do these presentations. Maybe next time they should tell this in the interview or first day. Okay im not complaining but im tired, with a sleepless night.

tatoo story wit Anthoney

I just came back from a story with Ant and and our team leader, we went to a tatoo parlor. we went over there to talk about their company and the people who work there. Ant was talking to these two men

tattoo story-A-Dotti33

Today i feel like i am being treated like a DAMN ANIMAL. First when i came in i started doing my blog then my chore, after i went and tried to edit our video for the presentation tomorrow, and then SHANTAYSHA want to get all up on me screaming and yelling at me talking about i dont do no work well i got a little information for you, when you told me yesterday to go and look for jazz what did i do i went with brad around harlem we even went to the bronx to find jazz we didn't find it, yes i've been disricpetful, you know why because you dont show me respect if you want somebody to treat you with respect, let me give you a piece of advice show respect to others. yes i got to leave early thats because i have my personal issues to take care of, your a good leader is just like you are getting to rough if you want me to do something come to tell me with no attitude christian do this christian do that, i'll do it just tell me with respect we got along the first day but when you became leader you were doin great at first treating me nice having fun and everything i understand now isn't the time to play cool i understand im trying to look for stories i'll find watever include jazz just dont push me to the limit because i do go off on people and you want all this im writing right now im words i will go and tell you but you have to let me talk and if you going to talk to me talk to me with NO attitude.
My friend ADAM helped he saw me upset and he talked me out of saying everything i was going to say because i have real stressed anger problem. note to self..(i should start taking yoga)..h3h3

Sigh =/

Tomorrow is presentations. I'm losing hope in this team for real. Its like everyone sees us as losers and HL flow is giving up. If seen all my other blogs, you know i still think we are the best and can make it back on top, but you guys take it as a joke now. I'm tired of failure. I'm working my ass off, along with Chantaysha, but no results are getting through with our efforts. I just want to see us get back up there. I'm getting discouraged and i know i shouldn't be. I know its almost the end but this is when it counts most.We are a going to address some things to some people really soon because things haven't been said that needs to be said, and i think thats what our main downfall is.

Attitude early in the morning

Hey, gud mornin i just got here and its like 11:07am and i had to let Chris know. He is suppose to be pulling his weight as a member of this team, and he isn't. Tomorrow is our presentation and to be honest our team is falling apart. Christain was suppose to be looking up jazz music and getting background info on it, but he was just sitting around doing nothing, do i tried to be a good team member and see if i could talk to him and get him to do work. i tried and all he did was ignore me. I tired to tell him to go to the jazz mobile and try to some P.O.S and just see how people react to the music. He says the show start at 8pm, and im like ok, but he's talkin like he scared to go outside at 8pm. but i started to get pissed off because he was acting like a little kid, not acting like a member of them team

july 31

today is becoming a crazy day because is the day before this week presentation and their people that are not doing the jobs. me and chantaya are working on our music video and we would hopefully start working on our tv magazine. i hope after we finish our video we would have a meeting and make an agreement with each other. i am so happy because i finish tomorrow video, this was my first time i edit a video at first i was nervous but the more i new what i was doing the more trust i had toward my self.

a-dottie's late blog

yesterday i was heated because i didnt like the way we have to get points for a email editor corresponding. the stuff we have to do for some points is rediculous. i sent my memoir to my email editor to check. she sent it back to me corrected. then i copied the edited one to my folder. then after this i tried to get points for the memoir but rich talkin bout i gotta send the one that she already edited back to her to so she could send me the same thing right back but sayin that its "ok". that dont make no since to me because if she send me it back edited y do u need to send it back.

A-Dotti33------------im definately off dis off dis

He looks weird going up and down. Was getting annoying and on my nerves. But Coco had singto 

to halleluyah...

don't sit, start walking

Maybe is the time i need to go find it. The music that doesn't let new york city sleep ever, because you are hearing it in parties, clubs, park and subways!! Well Ill go try to contact the person from the market rivertoriver, Suzy, a big supporter of harlemlive. Its great to meet her. If not, im going on the subways and parks that will go for free and shoot with Guillermo, if i can.

k lo k

Today i went to my old school to see some of my friends, and my teacher because i'm going to do a story on him because he is a good tirador. Se flechas "archery" that is one of the sports that i like, because you need to have complete control on the bow and makes you a better person with other and stable you motion; with the arrow and went you are apuntando to the target and sacar toda to ira cuando to tira una de esas flechas y sientes com penetra el blanco, sorry for that it to hard for me to to put evreything that want to say in English.

Musica doesn't have always everything

We know the many types of music, but not the culture where our ancestors came from. I just realized we dont much expose the other minority type of music. You may see Rock,  one it just goes passionate crazy rythym, but have yoy heard of the athens music? What about hippie music? Or african music?Yes thats what I am saying...

In fact There is going to be story about it, because im publishing it, written by me. Lolz

I just got this idea while thinking about the music in Zuccotti park.

I have gone myself to hear a music that I have never heard, but I like it, With Singer  Lisa Lost, a perfomer in the park today, was always mentioning something peaceful, like she would be ghandi; talking relaxing. Is this the summer music?

Came back from Downtown

Well i just came back from downtown from a music festival it was pretty cool and really fast because all we did was interview like 5 people and the person who was singing i forgot his name it was a little random because they called something i forgot anyways we came back from downtown and unfortunely we couldnt edit our video because there was a class going on so tomorrow im going to start editing my video and it will it can possibly be done edited by tomorrow because i can barely edit..

....bored!...

Im sitting here realli bored, talking to Tyvon, who is such a weirdo! but hes pretty cool. but i didnt realli do anything today, but my day pretty much just started. But im supposed to be going with my leader to rocafeller center to probably listen to some music. im not sure what we are going to do there, but i might also interview some people about what they are listening to, and other things.

Musica ^ ^

Well today i went to some park around wall street. We covered a story about music,which will also help us for our presentation. It was hippie music, but it was calming and peaceful. The park was also very nice =].  I had one of the best interviews i ever did, with advice from my advisor, Billy. I learned what to do and what not to. I learned to make conversation with the person and not to read off the paper. I am getting better at speaking loud into the mic and elaborate on my questions. I also learned to form questions in my head based on the information they are giving me, and that gives me better info on them and gives me a better story in general. I was a great learning experience. They had some good, fresh smoothies there. I had to pay for Chris' smoothie. Grrr. Whatever i can last until next Thursday. Lol

Wednesday I went

Today I got to HL at 11:00am and the minute I got here, I got attacked about what im suppose to be doing before i got the chance to think. One of the journalist (Tamara) on my teem went over my point sheet with me to make sure we were on top of our game. Every other day, they would constantly ask me; did you write your blog for the day?. I swear if I hear that question onemore time, im going to go crazy and loose my mind. Though I know that they want every employee at Harlem Live to be the best that they could, I know my responsiblity and what Im suppose to be doing. Remind you; I am a web based media guy so I stay back at the lab to get the office work done such as transfering information from one sight to the next etc. Today I didnt post as many stories because, I finished with my section and category and didnt get a new one to begin so I completed my choirs until my task was assigned. Harlem Live is like a third home and I say that because I have a second home so that would actually be a compliment for HL if you all didn't realize it. I learned how to post stories on the internet and I got it all down packed for future reference so once I apply it, especially at the speed that I know; Im going to blow my boss or advisor out of the frame. After Harlem Live is over, I would love to come back for volunteer work because it would look good for both HL and myself.

New site!!!

Today i am happy because i finally learn how to post stories on the new site and it is so so so much easier it takes me like 5-7 minutes to post a story and in the old site it took me like 20-25 minutes. I really like this site. I posted 12 stories today and i just learn how to post them and for each story is 30 points so you do the math.I am so looking forward for my team to win this week because we have work hard in my opinion. I've also written a story and send it to my email editor and i am going to start writing the second story so its a lot going on right now. Today is Wednesday and Friday is coming soon so we should get prepare for our presentation 6 working day of the summer program so i am exited.See ya people!!!

I Shoulda Did My Hair

Today I went to LAGCC. LaGuardia Community College, the school that I'm going to. I met some people and I thought to myself I think I'm the youngest here. I met up with counselors that are welling to help me with my confused and messed up mind. I got accepted to the College Discovery Program, a program that helps low income students with free books and other privileges. I was unsure with the major I chose but I got a pretty good schedule, stress free. But I ranaway because I didn't do my hair for the ID picture. That's why I wished I did my hair, it's a mess.

Whats happening today?....

hey, its about 1:44pm and i just here, sitting here typeing my 1st blog (if ur reading it!). but i have no clue on what im going to be doing today. i know i may have us a broadway play, but im not sure yet, because even if i do get us a play, we still going to have to get the "behind the scence" story. That means be able to go back stage and talk to people, but a negative thing maybe that people wont want kids backstage. but even if we dont go to the one on thursday, may be able to get another one. but we'll see how this works out!

july 30

yesterday i was absent because i went to six flag for my little sister birthday. when i came today i was so tired i was yawning  every minute.i am happy that chantaya have already started working on our tv magazine video i am also happy because i think our team is making progress each time. and we are having more meeting than before. hopefully this week would be our turn to win. 

..::Are You Seeking Spotlight? Never It Always Come To Me!!::..

So today it was a good day for once. Today some of us went to CNN which stands for (Cable News Network) but originally stood as (Chantaysha News Network). So yeah, they gave us pizza and also Liza McGuirk asked what we are currently doing at HL. Everyone wasn't really prepared for that. I know I wasn't. Then they showed us there website and we gave them a few ideas on how to improve it. Stephanie and I actually got to tell them what would be good to do stories on. Once that was done, we went on a tour. We got to go to different studios. Each studio that we went to I made sure that I got to sit in the spotlight seat. The spotlight seat that I liked the most was the Nancy Grace set. She had everything a girl needed. I really had a fun time and I hope I can get another experience like this

..::Vogue Princess::..

it 6:49

i have a big headache and i'm looking for a person that teaches a class of artery and i need to know his # to call him, so he can tell me the classes, days and dates. In my old school i would take these classes and would always get in second place but never first =(.

Look at fridays presentation

okay, you got to see this.Remember???

I believe today we are trying to progress and put it to work than just saying, but we still have some downfalls. In my opinion, Im trying to do as much possible for team and im sure the others as well. But first we ask this question to yourself: Do we care enough to survive for the next weeks? Yes I know about the points, but cannot complain when that just shows us how much we did for HL flow team. Its not a proof of capacity, but it stands where do we belong comparing to others. If you love this team, make sacrafices because our leader cannot do everything. If you have an opinion research based on that topic, do not just do mandatory list. But lets finish everything before we hunt on another thing. Its hard to be leader.

As for fridays presentation, whoever did it were great. I know for sure it is not easy to standup infront of crowd, specially when you are going to be graded. Dont think because you already know how say it you going not practice. When in the library, everyone needs to put their opinion based the person said, which gains us the skill to look and be better. We need eachother, because others wont say anything.

Im just saying.

Sincere,

Rosa Sanchez

some video work

today it was a good day because i was working with some of the videos that need to be editados for the team presentation and for the tv show too, we are working on music video because en esta semana the presentation have to be on music, with have some interview with people that like to go to central park to lisent to the music that artitas do in the park and some of these people are good using the intrumentos.

CNN Visit

OMG today was really fun at CNN i got to visit the studios were they do all the shows and i also got to know the building. Although i don't watch CNN i know that my mom use to watch it in spanish back in Dominican Republic.I liked the building the people were really nice specially Liza who allows us to visit her at CNN. At first the woman who was giving us the tour had an attitude but then she was funny.The tous guide name was Ann. They gave us pizza and sodas which was nice because i was so hungry. Then we got to see the site of the show that Liza is the exective director of and she ask us to give our opinion on the site.CNN was really fun.


Thank Liza,Selli

This Tuesday was empty

Everyone got out with their work scheme which was to rack up the most point and get our team Back on Top. No one was here @ HL because everyone felt that they needed to jumpon track because the point list spoke for itself. I didnt see it until I was going to work on my points and Rich bought it to my attention that my team was falling behind. Being that im Co leader, I took it into my own hands to let my team mates know where we were on the map and where we needed to be. Once they saw I was telling the truth as far as HL in last place, they all began working on stories and what ever could give them points on the sheet. After everyone left, there were no more than 6 students left at HL and while everyone was having thier conversations. I was going to work on profiling old to new. I was here for a long time profiling and that gave me a advantage of gaining more points than alot of other people. Once my workis done for the day, I get right to profiling which gives me the word of being on top of the Charts.

How we work

We all spoke about how our presentation went on the Friday and where we should improve. I know we all have places that we need to pick up on and I know my place in the situation that needs work. I spoke about my mistake that I took part in and I know where I need to straiten up at and we all have our own preparation scheme for next Friday's presentation. We have weak people inside of HL Flow that we need to address and others that does work and doesn't get accounted for. In the process of our discussion, we spoke about what we will be covering for next week so we could be on top of our game and wont be disappointed at our work performance. From today until Friday, we will be working our tails off to prove to everyone that HL Flow has flow. We will show you all how the Flow get down.

this is BS guys.......

Rich just printed out the new points. HL flow is way down there now. My team really needs to step it up. There's specific people on my team that need to take responsibility and step way up. I been doing my part and been doing what i can to ensure our team wins, and others are not doing what they supposed to. Its not fair that me and like three other people on my team ends up in the top 15. I'm number 6. The reason ambush is winning is because most of their team is in the top 15. The reason we were winning before is because most of our team was in the top 15, even top 10. You guys really need to work. Johnny ( our advisor) told us that if we do ten stories a week, we will win. I already got my two stories done. If there are five journalists, do the math. That's two stories for each journalist. Day Day really needs to post my stuff so i can get back up there, and at least help our team get closer to winning.

 Me, besides about three others, are the strongest people on the team. I'm not calling anyone out. You know if you are are strong person or weak person on this team. No one wants to type up their stories and give them to me to put in story format. This is why were losing, because no one wants to do any stories. They all want to go out, but not look back at their notes and type it up. I want to win so badly man. Losing is not cool anymore. I don't take failure lightly. I even take it too seriously. This chart of the points is really starting to bug the hell out of me man.

On Another Team's Story

O It was a blast! LOL We had fun, well to me. Me, Dacia, Frankie and Michael went to Co-Op City then to Parkchester. I was the video person for Team First Amendment because they we're so lazy. I was even asking people questions. It was funny when I was chasing Michael I saw a man pissing and paid no mind to me. Except when I broke the camera by accident. I didn't mean too. It was inside my backpack when I normally have it on my hands. Which I'm truly sorry for. I would take a picture of myself crying but no camera for me. 

A-Dotti33

yesterday was so borin. i was dum tired from the night before. i had a odee headache. but i still got work accomplished. i wrote a poem and memior. i also worked on one of my stories that i did. today i will be writing out 2 of my stories and going out on another one.

A-Dotti33---------------im off dis off dis

..::Do I Need Space? Yep::..

Ok so I came in today for my team even though today was my day off. But hey I want to show great leadership. So today I took a class with Chris and I believe that I can now work with Final Cut Pro. Other than that, today I met with our alumni advisor Johnny. He gave me a few pointers on how to win and I know that if I take his advice, HL flow will be the winning team this summer.

Im SoOoO tIgHt RiGhT nOw

     I am so tight right now because when Richard, Nana, Day-Day, and Me went biking right, so we went to the FDR drive, the foot bridge,and some were else and out of nowhere i fall, this is a moment that is not explainable. Im sorry i got to stop.

Today

Today was kind of crazy. I have about 6 things waiting to be posted by Day Day. Two are memoirs, two are stories, And two are POS'. I all sent them to my email editor, Mary and she didn't change much. She said i was a very good writer. She only made the words more complex, and  the sentences longer. Its good to see that I'm such an awesome writer. And yet again, I'm here, at HL, late. I came in about 11 and was supposed to leave at six, but like always, i have too much to do. Fatima also made me do laundry =(. Me and Rosa went and was playing tekken. She beat me. Lol. I also played the claw machine and won twice yay me!!.. I want to win so badly this week. I hope we do. We need those 1250 points man. We already got 300 for being the most consistent with our blogs. WOOT!! Lol. 300 isn't anything, compared to ambush. We need to get back on top and show that HL flow is the best!!.

Blogs!!!!!

Today was a really awful day. First i came on Late,really late because last night i went to sleep at 6:00 am and my mother didn't wake me up so i slept until at 11:00 am. I am also mad because my team got goofs because i didn't did enough blog something that really sucks. I am also kind of happy because my birthday is coming soon,but i am also worried because school is coming and i still have to do that summary on the three chapters of the AP Class book that my AP teacher told me to do ,but i am proud of myself because I got recommended to it.

Talk with Chris!

we had a little meeting with Chris,...(video guy!)... i guess he was just trying to be nice, but i still think hes a big dummy...WHO DAMN SURE CANT SING!!!...but i can say his talk did help a little, he was telling us how we can organize our work, and make sure everyone know what everyone else is doing! I can say the Chris is a DOFF-BALL..but he is a good teacher!..but he does bug me!...but a kool doof-ball!

DA DRAMA KILLIN!!

I CAN NOT DEAL WITH THE EXTRA DRAMA!!....ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS...IT WAS NEVER SERIOUS AT ALL!!...IM NOT HERE TO MAKE LIFETIME BUDDIES...(LMAO)...IM HERE TO WORK AND GET PAID!...AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!.. BUT IMMA DO ME!..AND KEEP IT MOVING!!.BUT I CAN/ AND WILL SAY THIS...IF THERE IS A PROBLEM....STEP 2 ME!!... DATS IT!..

........AND I'M OUT!!...

Central Park on Saturday

lol,..idk y i came to workn saturday, but i had fun! i came in at like 1:55 with shafonda, and no one was here, so we jus waited for someone to come, and finally at like 2:15 Rich came, and other kids. the people who are  in video had to take a class and do other things with STUPID CHRIS...(video guy)!!... But after all that extra crap, we went over to central park, (81st) and walked through the park, when we first got into the park the first music person we saw was singing a folk song, there were people laying in the grass listening to the guy singing, but i thought it was bad! Maybe its just not my type of music! We kept walking and we saw a "skateing rink." with a bunch old people skateing around listening to disco music. i interviewed some people who were around skating and some who were just sitting around, we interview. there was a realli weird guy that was at the rink, who was wearing a dress, a parrot on his head and a puddle in a stroller! it was realli weird but, we did interview him. He was realli cool, even though he was weird. im actually happy that i went because it gave me ideas on what my group can do this week in presentation.

      (......HAPPY NOW RICH!....)

RICH BLOWS MINE!

Rich so gets on my nerves! As soon as i come in he always has to say something to me. He talking about, i gotta step up with my blogs... get out of here with all that! i do blogs almost every night talking about everything we do, everyday! But im just going to do it, and get everything that i need done. But i think its crazii that he always has something to stay! but i'm not going to be disrespectful, because im not like that. I think my group is coming together, even though we do have our drama, we are really working hard, and trying to get all the stories that we need done. So imma be ODEEing wit these stupid blogs, because they saying im not putting enough, then im just going to go over board!

Another Friday'S Presentation

Yo on Friday, it was type popping with all of the presenters presenting. In the process of presenting we all was talking to one another about our roles in the presentation and it appeared to me that we were on our way to a possible reflection of the presenting thing. We all were trying to make our group look the best at Harlem Live and most of us were on point but i really can't speak for myself because I messed up with the introduction. I have no idea of what I was thinking but I forgot two of my group members name for a brief second. I think that everyone inside of my group did good but I feel I was the cause of our loss but I promise that it wont be a next time. As they announced the weeks point winner, I wasn't expecting to hear my name until they reached the top 5 but I came in 10th place which disappointed me because I feel that I worked more than others that I heard above me. Hey, I cant complain because when I won first place the other week; no one wanted to deal with the fact that I won. Before Harlem Live is over, I am going to be number one again. WATCH!

Heh....

WE LOST AGAIN!~ Let's celebrate with another team meeting like all we been doing all this time. So we can attack someone else besides me. I'm over it though I went shopping on the 2 hours we had to spare and 1 hour walking and being in the library. Besides Fatima made me feel better with her talking to me about my name in peoples mouth meaning I'm doing what I'm doing. I was talking do Brad's sis too which was cool, she was trying to cheer me on and I was asking if Thumper was ok since DayDay dropped him on the floor. Thumper is Brad's sisters bunny, s/he was crying after the fall.

friday's presentation

on friday our team lost once again. im tireddddddddd of losin. deadass. yo i felt that our team should have won the presentation because ambush went ova the 12 min limit and first admendment didnt do better than us they was laughin and unfocus in front of the judges. yo our team really really needs to buckle down and contribute. everybody on our team needs to put in dat work.

A-Dotti33--------------im off dis off dis

 when i came today i was surprise because no one was here except for richard. the first thing i had to do was my chores and then write a blog and was still surprise because no one was here. when chantaya call me people started coming and i was a sad because she was coming late and i was expecting to start our story magazine. luck for us she told us what to do before she came which made me happy because she showing good leadering. chris came today and gave us another class on final cut which made me so happy because i learn the first steps on editing, know i could used final cut and edit my videos. what made me more happy is that know i think our video would be hotter because is not only chantaya editing is going to be both of us yey

central park

today was i magnificence day because we went out to the park for some stores, i like it because i like to see people having fun and dancing forn the people that play different intromentos and different type of music, i have the chase to use the camera and record people being interview by my team and see how people like to do different thing all the time not only ben indors doing nothing, is good to go out some time.

central park

today was a fun day, we went to central park to view music over the summer. their was lot of entertainment singing dancing what i mostly found funny was the man dress as a columbian women at the roller skating section he had a dog in a troller and a bird on top of his head while dancing. we also had a class with chris and i think i am learning more about final cut. 

IM UPSET!!!

TYVON CALLED MY TEAM HL HOE...(INSTEAD OF HL FLOW) !!!...I THINK MY WHOLE  TEAM SHOULD JUMP HIM AND HIS DUMB ASS TEAM!!! SO 1ST AMENDMENT YA'LL BETTA LOOK OUT..... THERE R EXCEPTIONS...(Shafonda & Laredo).... EVERYBODY ELSE U BETTA WATCH OUT!!..AND IT ALL TYVONS FAULT!

....Presentations......

... OMFG.... we lost again to BUM A** FIRST AMENDMENT!! But it all good, they had a good a good presentation, but they really put a lot of their opinions, the judges said thats what made them pick 1st amendment as the winner. but i think we did really well this week, (better than any other week) I think since next week since we have to do music, were gonna talk about music we like and music that effect us. but i'll let u kno, c u lata.

..::Highly Upset Are We? YESSSSS!!!!!!!!::..

Like I just don't understand, we LOST AGAIN.... I didn't want my team to lose, I tried my hardest to lead them to win this week and I feel like I just got smacked the hell down. I am tired of being seen as a joke. Its so not cool. Right now I want to continue but then I start doubting myself. I feel like some people are hoping I do bad. I see it now. OMG I don't know what else to say. I at a loss for words. As I sat there listening to the other presentations, it made me realize that my team is so damn behind. How do you get a person out of a 10 feet deep ditch without a ladder? Please someone answer me. I need a sign. Ughhh I am going, Im really tired of this. 

..::Vogue Princess::..

Omfg

Well guess what guys. We lost. AGAIN!!!. Three things really bugged me about tonight. How lovely. I ended up in 6th place for points when i wanted top five, which sucks. Secondly, our team lost for the highest team points, also sucks. And lastly we lost the presentation and 1000 points. That's the thing that bugged me the most about tonight. As soon as the said 1st amendment i was so mad. The judges said they loved us, and yet we lost?.
I hate failure to the fullest. I know i worked my ass off this week and so did our team. I hate when i know i did my best and tried my hardest, but i still lose. My actions aren't rewarded. I'm so pessimistic when i was going home. I saw two people i usually go home with, but i was so angry that i just went home without saying bye to anyone or walking with those two. Whatever man. I'm pissed. I know we shouldve won. At least were getting better at presenting and i know Chantashya worked her ass off to try to pull us together. We need to win like seriously. because losing is getting old at this point. I quote Chantashya on what she said.
"I'm sick and tired of our team losing", But the communication is better and we were so close to winning. We going to be in third becuase ambush has the most points, and first amendment keeps winning presentations. They won twice =(. Next Friday things better change, i swear. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANY MORE LOSSES. Our team needs to pull it together, like starting Monday we need to get things together and win this time. Well i feel better now after getting my feelings out. I know my whole team feels exactly the way i do right now, especially Chantashya. She did her best to pull this team together and did a good ass job. If any of my team reads this i just want y'all to know you all did your best and keep it up so we can win. I know we can guys. Like i always say HL flow IS number one, and will always be the best team!.

Crazy work last night A.K.A July 24, 2008 night

Who knew we have more energy in the night than morning?

Hmmmm...... Wait! I do.

Shem had the idea to act as a pastor as well coco and to say " oh jesus...", last night while before going home.

one step ahead of you..

I'm getting ready for next week!

I'm trying to finish the presentation by Wednesday, well the youth. I'm doing allot of research this week so i can build the presentation for next week: The role of youth for the election.

So I start to think what if we could do this early and then we can do something else and practice more. I'm trying to help and get politicians and also this Saturday the event. yeah baby! ha ha ha

I am fine who is the leader as long it represents who we are then its okay. I have no problem. Building our weaknesses into strengths is good. Letting ourselves who to blame, not good.

da intensity

yo im type nervous about our presentation but i want to win. i mean we were on top the first two weeks but all of a sudden we started slackin. but i hope to see a big improvement in our presentation this week.A-Dotti33

I Got Replaced!

O SNAP! Today's the presentation. AND I got replaced. I don't whether to feel happy or mad/sad. I kinda prepared a speech for my sayings on how my experiences have been in HarlemLIVE. But WHATEVER I was sick and I didn't feel like getting up on Thursday morning. But I missed Warrith's Flash class again and Aleah isn't here today to count my points which is lame. The thing is that I lost my first place or something because Dushawn didn't have points in or something, which is extremely gay. But I still get to go bowling. It cool since I never been bowling before. Today presentation topic is anything and we're going something on organizations and they help people. So I pray we win these 1000 points added to our team because there's been a lot of points being taken off that we need back.

Presentation!!

Today i am really nervous because i got to talk in front of the judges and of the whole harlemlive crew. I am so nervous because i know i am going t get stuck and i am going to start stuttering because i get so nervous ,but i am going to try to stay calm i men they are not going to kill me if i do it wrong but i am still scared. In the other hand i am happy becaue is my brothers 19th birthday,but i still don't know what to buy him and everybody is asking me what they should bu him because i know what he likes and what he don't like. He wanted and Iphone and i was going to buy it for him but thet dind't play me what i though so i couldn't buy t for him so i am sad.

Wish me luk!!!!!

Im So BoReD aNd ItS FrIdAy WhOa...

    Man today its like the boring friday, presentation today dont know what we going to sing coco is not here and we got to practice and im kinda nervous if he doesn't get here im gonna have to do this presentation with Shakoya and Isis. We probably might sing "Amazing Grace" its gonna be a presentation if coco does not here i will go to his and get if i have to. But whatever all i know that he has to get here.

**ChRiStIaN CaLdErOn..**

Today is Presentations

Well now we have a new leader, Miss Chantasya. I think we will win this week. Everything sounds pretty together and organized. Steph doesn't want to present but i know she can do it. We don't have a video because ambush was in the room editing their video. I heard our music from last weeks presentation and they were using it. Biters these days. Lol. Oh well we have Keynote. I did three blogs last night in my house. I'm so lucky i don't have to present this week. Now its Chris, Johary, Steph, And Savasia. I'm so mad that someone removed me from admin from the blog. Chantasya put me back plus added Keenan, Herself, and Savasia as admin. Whoever did that is messed up because you didn't even ask us, and you just left yourself. We all know who you are too. If you're going to do something ask and don't be sneaky. I cashed my check this morning. My wallet is packed now with $$. Lol.

we gonna try to win

i am so scared, today i am presenting for todays presentation. yesterday i was practicing while i was sleeping. when i came today it looked like a busy day we had to do our chores finish what we have to finish and also practicing for today. i am trying to stay focus because i think we are going to win. 

Presentations today

OMG..ITS 11AM, and im sitting here at HL....(its way to early to deal wit the drama!..but wat can i say im always here for my team!) but in a way i feel our team is falling back, when we first started here outr team was in first place, but we fell back to third, (while being lead by Rosa) but we've come back to 2nd place. it isnt 1st but it isnt 3rd. Most of our team is here, and we are all working, today, i plan on winning, we are here working hard and trying to get back together as a team. I feel we have a really good learder who can take charge and make sure everyone is going what they need to be doing, what they need to be doing. Like you can imagine there is going to be drama when you put kids who dont know each other and all have different ideas all in one group, so we gonna have to our best to work together. Our presentation is going to be about 2 different organizations, one GMAD which stands for gay men of African Decent, and the other is P.U.L.S.E which stands for Provideing, Urban, Learning, Sucess, in Education. So me and some other members of my team are speaking so i'll write a blog letting you know how it goes tonite!

..::Good Day? I Guess::..

Well yesterday, stephanie, johary and I went to my old school yesterday to interview my principal. It went well except my principal was trying to take charge of the whole interview. But I should of expected it since I already know the kind of person she is. After we were done with the interview I went and said hi to the rest of the staff. Also when johary, stephanie and I were walking to the train to go back to HL, we decided to take the escalator. Though that didn't work out because as soon as we touched the escalator, it shut off and we had to walk up it. Another thing I would like to add was that my team had a meeting yesterday and I believe that it went well also. It wasn't long and controversial. That is something that I believe our meetings shouldn't be. Other than that, I made sure that my team are ready for today and we made a slideshow for presentations. I am still conceplating whether or not I should do a video... I don't know but I will decide once I get to HL. Sooo Until Next Time

Checks =/

DAMN! Its just another blog about my super fantastical extra ordinary day. Lol. Me aka spanish girl, Rosa aka Rosi, Charisma aka orange and Stephanie aka Steph, had to pick up our checks. We took the a to the 1 and got our checks. I thought we was gonna get mad $$$ but we only got $184. That sucks so bad. I saw some of my friends from school outside the building. Well i got over the money situation, i almost missed the train. We were coming down the stairs of the station and the train was pulling up. The three of them got on mad quick but my metro card got stuck to my I.D and it took all three of them to hold the train door open for me. Lucky i had them. By time we got there it was already 3 but i had alot of stuff to do so i didnt leave. My hearing is getting worse?. Some people were saying stuff to me but i couldnt hear them since i was blasting my music. Then i sneezed and Eric said bless you. I couldnt hear anything. He was right i have to stop blasting my music like that or im going to go deaf, especially if most of what i listen to is rock.

Im not spanish!!!

A few people here at HL keep insisting that im hispanic. And its not just at HL, its most of my friends and some other people. They always think my mom is PR. No im black and native american. Nothing is wrong with hispanic people, i love them. I could pass if i knew how i could speak spanish. I only know like simple ass stuff. Lol. But really i want to know more spanish so bad. Someone teach me!. My race turned into a whole history lesson form Frankie and Warrith about how the term "indian" is politically incorrect, so i said im black and native american. Two people(you know who you are) keep saying everything i do is spanish. The way i talk, The way i look, Even the way i walk. I say im not and they still dont believe it. I'm not ghetto and talk corrctly some maybe thats why?. They always call me spanish girl when they see me. Lol. No but theyre cool pplz. Lol. Its kinda fun being mistook for a spanish girl. My race isnt obvious and i keep people guessing. Hmmm i wonder what they will do if i do confess that im "spanish"......

Long Day

Today Ceka wasnt here. I hope she feels better. Today i did two stories and we also had another team meeting. We adressed some real issues and i think the communication is getting better. Also Laredo gave me some good ass info on how to write stories. Thanks ^ ^. My ass got here late again. At 9:1o this time but i left at 8:25. One story took me like 3 hours to write and the other about two hours. Both of them over 500 words. Chantasya was like we not gonna take anymore video and hold off on some stories so i can write them and we wont have to edit so much video.I also did two memoirs. I sent all this to my email editor. I just hope she responds soon so the web people can post the stories. That'll be like 800 points for me if that gets done. So you know i want all that asap. I think tomorrow will go good. Chantasya sounds like she has most of the stuff together. We need those 1000 points. We can do it. Go HL flow!.

LOL

Out sick today, hope no one minded. I ttyl team. I'll be back on Friday, tomorrow for the presentation. We better win this time.

A Thursday at Harlem Live

Today when I came into Harlem Live I went straight to posting stories because I found it interesting. The nice part is that we increase on our speed when it comes to finishing the assigned task. My day has been filled with work and thats something that i like because it makes me feel responsible. A lot of the times I have work to do but it wouldn't be so challenging; now that I met this program I have something to bring with me. Overall I have taken responsibility into my own hands and with that people recognized that I have leadership skills and gave me the posititon of Co Leader of my teem. It consist of more work but you get a lot more recognition then the average teem mate. I will prove to every one that I am the right person for this role and they wont be disappointed with my reflection of work.

I still remember  yesterday...some quite lesson to me.

the network journal

yesterday i went out on a story with tamara, shantasia, and our advisor william. we went to interview mr. Aziz the owner of the network journal. i think this was a very good interview. it moved by very smoothly. he keep his answers short but detailed and also interesting and insightful. we got a lot of good feed back from his employees and also himself. his magazine is based on black professionals and small businesses.

A-Dotti33---------------im off dis off dis

A-Dotti33-------------------im off dis off dis

HelLo mI FrIeNd hOw ArE yOu..

Lesson...

I'm tired.

Just tired.

I have to make a list of what i got to do. Memoir, blog, points, and interviews...

I am seeing my skills are improving and myself is growing for my career i want to pursue. I dont know what but something. Just something.

Its funny that today i had really good time. I felt very comfortable to add questions and follow more questions, which blair showed us that technique. I am happy that also today I learned video.

I am learning everything in this space with such great qualities.

When I was walking getting the 7 train i thought today would be usual but now i see more clear the objective for a journalist- expose around your world going in your life that my affect you.-

But the question still in my mind: do I prefer to expose something new or me?

My interview with Anthony had made me realize the career i was thinking and the opportunity I can have if i had the talent, but I know writing is my passion so therefore i have eliminated acting as career but more as a hobbie. But also something important he said "An actor should talk any topic..." Ant that is why actor is not just pretending someone but experiencing someone else shoes..

todat

today was a good day because i got my review for the restaurant ready for tomorrow and that is some good new for my  team because that is one of the mandatory story that with need to do and and i have a other story in the way, is for a lansador de flechas i don't how to say that is english but that is for one of the mandatory story too that is good for me and the team, that is all o but i went to a story with rosa for a interview with a actor that was cool because he was funny all that time he name was i forgot.

I Went Biking

 Well today i got invited to my team blog and i went biking with Savasia, and Frankie. Frankie since he was riding slow he got lost and we had to look for him and Savasia and i had to look for him, we didn't find him, Savasia and i came back to Hl and like 10 minutes later he came all sweaty and tired saying that he saw were we went and he just wanted to catch up but h got lost instead he should have followed up to us but he wanted to act like he was faster than us he got lost because Savasia is fast to i am not gonna frunt but he i just to slow and thats what he get. Poor Frankie. HEHE

..HeY i'M bACk...

Omg, im so sorry its been so long since i've written a blog, its only because i couldnt remember my e-mail address and/or password...lol, how dumb is that,,i know rite...! everything here has ben going well so far! OoO,... Rosa isnt our team leader anymore, my team voted and changed it, (i wasnt there,i had a family emergency on monday so i didnt come in) I really didnt have a problem with Rosa, or anyone else in my group. So, i guess im ok with the change, it really doesnt effect me, but i do think our new leader is taking good charge of us! for the past 2 weeks when we left HL, instead of going to practice, we would be in the library, doing nothin! it really sucked because when it came down to us doing our presentation it would kinda suck because peope wouldnt know what they were or wanted to say. but im confedent that we will do well, and we wil win this week.

..::Do I Sense Some Bitchassness? Hell Yeah::..

Ok let me just put this out there. No matter what it is or what it is about, if you have a problem/issue bring it out on the table. And the attitudes also need to go because we are a team, there should be no reason that people are coming off rude and wrong. Also when you are bringing out these issues do not turn it into a long talk that would keep us from doing something productive. Like I said before we're a team, there is no need for us to have attitudes towards each other. THE BITCHASSNESS NEEDS TO QUIT.

Robin Bell- Stevens

Today i went on a story with Rosi, Ant, Francisca, and me.We went to meet Robin Bell- Stevens. The place wasn't that far from HL. I think this was one of our best stories. We all did a pretty good job. Rosa was on the video and i thing she did a good ass job. She was talking really fast but i was doing a job job of taking the notes. Once again. I have to go back sometime later today but i don't know at what time. 

GMAD

Today i went on a story to GMAD which is a gay organization and it was fun because i've always like gay stuff because they are so cool. So i interview the director Token who was very cool with us and supported us by answering all of our question. The GMAD building is on 125th and park avenue is a small place but if really nice and people are nice too. It was really cool because i think they are going to show the video on friday presentation and is also god because i haven't done any story in a while but i need to start because i want my team to really win and i don't want to keep dissapointing rich and selly who have done so much for me so.The picture there is a picture i founf on the GMAD magazine called PULSE.

MESSAGE TO EVERYONE!

Anyone who wants their points to counted towards this Fridays totals must see me either today or tomorrow because I will not be here on Friday. Make sure before you come to me that you have everything together. That includes having your point sheet written up, your blogs printed out && any pictured taken on the server && in the correct folder. Thank You.
-Aleah-

ARGH

I never wanted leaders and co-leaders to be changed, I just wanted them to do there jobs. No matter who takes the name "leader" and "co-leader" they have to pressure people do do the work that there not doing and communicate with everyone on what, how and when. We still haven't gotten a story posted or edit from an email editor and people still don't know what to do when there's a list provided. I just hope we get shit together, I bet if I i ask what are we doing for this fridays presentation, I wouldn't get a response back. I just asked and I don't get it so whatever, I just hope we don't bomb. Or even worse, fighting.

Birthdays

OMG i had like three days without posting a blog and rich said that he is going to take of 30 points. Also my team change its leader and co-leader so now the leader i chantasya and the co-leader is Kennan. I hope they do a good ob and that we do win this time in the presentation although rosa did a good job too. Today i am so exited because my brother birthday is on friday and lke i think i get paid tomorrow i can buy him a really nice gift plus i am also happy because that weekend we are going to six flags we all f our friends i think and i cant wait my birthday to come iam so exited!!

happy birthday to everyone who's birthday is on this month!!!!

Shake Shack

Yesterday my day was interesting due to the fact that I was persuaded into a setup by Dushawn. Being that we're both on different teems, we rode bikes to 23rd street and Broadway to the Shake Shack to do a survey for each of our teems but when we get there he decides that he wants to help me. When I bought it to his attention, he began laughing because he knew his reason for coming all along but it was nothing because pay back is a *****. Once we finished our little survey and we began coming back to Harlem Live, his bike wants to start acting funny so we get to Central Park to take the straight ride out and his wheel doesnt want to spin. He gets it to spin but hes' scared to ride it so the generous man that I am takes his bike and give him the one that I had. As I began to ride it's still making noise but it was reaching a fare distance so out of no where it just stop and I get off to focus on the chain because it kept coming off. He takes the bike back to put the chain back in place so I lifted the bike for him and the bike detatched from the wheel so that meant walkng time. We were left inside of Central Park on 80th street so we, well he kept walking while I was riding the bike; we saw a police man in a car so Dushawn stopped them and asked to use their phone then explained the situation and he said that they cant do that. Once we made it to 86th street I told him that I was going to get him another bike from HL and bring it back to him before he made it to 110th and he doubted that I could do it so I had to prove it. I took off riding Back to Harlem Live and once I got their and explained the story to Rich he said "Day Day is a grown man, leave him." So I did what I had to do all sweaty and I left because that was the end of my day.

23 july 2008 my first story i am so happy yay

today i came 20 minutes late because i had a doctor appointment. when i came today the first thing i had to do was my chores. i choose to take out the garbage. today and tomorrow we have a story. and it looks like we have a lot of work to do for friday. we also when out on a story for gay men african decent and it was my first time going out on a story i was so happy. the place seem cool too. i get to take picture while chantaya record and stephanie talk to tokes the director

Careers

Today i did one of the career story. I went with Ant(like always), Chantasia, and Me. It was good. I was the photographer and i took the notes. I love taking pics. My family said i should be one. We went to wall street with our editor also. The man we had to interview some small time magazine. The name escapes me. The building was so nice. The floor we had to go on was the twenty first floor. I'm not that good with heights either. This story was really fun. I'm getting better at taking notes and writing faster. My photography skills are also getting much better.

today

Today is so hot and very humid. It is interrupting me very much. Today we got more stories and is going crazy. I hope doesn't go out of control. Well im not crazy going but i will sometime if part of the team don't comeback. Im getting stories and finishing some of them. I am just working here today. Im calling more people. Doing a memoir. Research more people. Doing more stories.

Pancakes yum ^ ^

This morning i made pancakes. Day Day had four of them!. They were so good but i made them too flat and not fluffly like they're supposed to be. Oh well they were crisp and i love things crispy especially pancakes. I only could make for the first seven people. Everyone was hating on the blueberries exept Ceka and Chris. I put some bluberries on the side of mine but i love fresh blueberries insted of frozen. Well extra points for me for making something im good at. They didnt look exactly like these but still good.

Pancakes!

I got pancakes from Tamarra this morning. It was good & YUMMY but there was too much blueberries on my first 2 pancakes. I was my first blueberry pancake. But I wish i had it goooooooooood like this picture. I even had it with organic maple and it was made with organic milk and all.

Book signing

Yesterday me and Rosi had a story to Hue Man book store. We went to see Judith Taloff. Her book was called Home Girl.We didnt get that much info because she was talking to a lot of people and she was about to go to dinner with them. Me and Rosa saw alcohol at the place along with orange juice. The alcohol was so tempting but there were too many adluts around so we went with the orange juice. I was the photagrapher this time and took some good pics. In getting better at this photagrapy plus controlling video camera. Im also becoming at better interveiwer and journalist. I think i do all the jobs here at HL pretty good.

going out on my third story

yesterday me and keenan went out on a story about compartive businesses. we went to h and m, jimmy jazz, and old navy. while we were covering the story we got a lot of feed back from shoppers.

Comparison on Clothing Stores

Yesterday I came at 8:30 and I was ready to work because I woke up with some kind of epiphany to strive hard though i do all of the time. Being that my group leader wasn't her as well as our co leader, I called for a team meeting. We all spoke about was was to be done and how many other stories we have to cover. With that meeting alone, we covered a lot of information about where our team stands and we are doing better than I thought. While we were on our story, we got a lot of feed back and many of people said that the clothes stores were decent. In total we interviewed 11 people and we got 6 pictures from them.

Class Yesterday

I had to get my points up cause I was disappointed with my prof of performance being that I was nowhere in the top fifteen. So I went to a memoir class to improve on my train of thought when it cam down to my remembrance of my life. We went over first time issues and experience period to bring back what she thought may be valuable to us in life. She gave us really good tips about being a good presenter as well because the best performance is one that can present his or her own things. The class was fun because once everyone wrote their memoir, we had to present what we wrote about our lives. The memoir exercise was a great experience.  

tuesday 22july

 yesterday i took my day off because my alarm clock didn't woke me up and i couldn't leave my little sister home by her self. i also took my day off because since i am video i have a day off and work on saturday. when i came this morning tamara was making pancake which taste good. today  i had to do the dishes because this week is my team turn to do chores and the other team had to tell us what to do. today me and my team had a meeting and we change the co leader and the leader, chantaya is our new leader and kenneth is our new co leader. 

Interview not to do.

So far I learned not to interview during a book signing. I mean Me and tamarra had to wait for Judith, the author of Home Girl. Also it happened with Seth Greenland. Its too complicated.

She started as journalist then realized she had a passion for this neighborhood.

A Good Picture Book

At the Harlem Book Fair there was a picture book that was there. That book was really something, its funny and it was about family. It's written by Uncle E. Its about his kids and there adventures. The kids are superheroes like Heroboy. It's really cool, we got to interview the author, illustrator, and Heroboy. I wanted to buy a copy but I was out of cash. What they want to do is create a TV show when the kids are older. They have a lot of work ahead of them and I wish them luck. Uncle E just got a new baby girl during Father's Day weekend and is going to make a new series on her. I recommend this book to young kids it's like Dr.Seuss.
