Richard Zhao Blog Post #1

First thing’s first. I’m a bum. Yup. My most favorite place in this world is my bed. 99% of the time i spend at home is in bed.

Maybe you can consider me shy but i’m really not. I’m just not a really friendly person. Well, only if i don’t like you. After you get to know me or even without knowing me, you’ll just know if I have something against you. If i talk to you on the other hand, then you must be cool.

The thing i love most in this world is going on adventures. I love vacations. Although I never have time to go away, I do wish I could go far away from home to just enjoy the nice warm weather and them pesty mosquitos who just can’t get enough of me. I love scenic places, especially the non-dirty beaches. But what i enjoy the most is being able to see and to try new things. For example, eating all the different types of delicious foods there are out there.

A type of material objects in this world that i appreciate are Apple products. I’m a big Apple fan and i practically own the entire family. I don’t know why but i’ve loved them ever since around the 8th grade?

My hobbies? I’m not really a hobby type of person. I do whatever. I’m not picky when it comes to having fun. I don’t limit myself. But what do love a lot, is paint balling.
There’s one thing that i hate the most. Gift giving. Don’t be mistaken. I like receiving gifts, but I always have absolutely no idea what to get others. I love the holidays. The holidays are my worse and best seasons.

The first slide on my presentation is a picture of my favorite professional sports team, the New York Knicks.  I have watched almost every game for the past seven years and I am anxious for the  start of the season in November.  The next slide is a picture of an Xbox 360.  I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember and some of my favorite video game genres are shooters, action/adventure, racing and sports.  The third picture is one of my favorite cars the Lamborghini Aventador because it is so well-built, looks great in many colors , and is obviously very fast!.  Next is a picture of a crystal clear white sand beach. I love beaches like this one because you can see through the water even if your not shore and also because in some of these beaches the water is still no higher than your waist, even if you’re already several feet from shore.

Furthermore, the fifth picture is a picture of a vanilla milkshake, one of my favorite drinks all of time.  Although, I have no favorite place to get this milk shake, I love them really cold and really sweet.  The sixth picture is that of one my favorite shows in the last few years Supernatural.  I love this show not only because the main storyline is intriguing but also because of all the funny non- main storyline related parts of the show.  The seventh picture is a picture of a place of relaxation.  I never been able to completely  explain why I like to sit outside in a rocking chair or lie down somewhere to take a breeze, all I know is I like it!  The last picture is of my favorite comic book/ movie character Batman.  My favorite thing about Batman is his stealth and the cool gadgets he has,  which makes him one of the best heroes.

The slide show begins with a picture of my godfather and I. this picture was taken in Virginia while i was there for a baseball tournement. this photo is followed by 2 photos of my hometown, Astoria, queens.  Growing up here has been the best thing to happen to me. Next up are some photos of my family. My family has always been there for me and I appreciate it very much. The pictures with the older gentleman are of my recently deceased grandfather and I. Next up are some photos of my friends and I. I have a very large group of friends that all are there for me whenever I need anything. Then there are 2 baseball related photos. The first is a team photo of my highschool team in 2011. This team made the PSAL quarter finals. The next photo is one taken from the NY Daily News when i was featured in an article. The last photo is a peice of my sneaker collection. I have been buying shoes for a while now and have racked up a pretty serious collection.

To begin, the first picture I have chosen is something I am really passionate about, which is basketball. I have been playing basketball ever since I was young and, still today have the same amount of enthusiasm for it as when I was a child. If it wasn’t for school, I would play basketball every day. The second picture represents something a math enthusiast would only understand. Math is something I take pleasure in performing and don’t mind doing for the rest of my life. The third picture exhibits a program I use almost daily. Skype is a wonderful software, me and my friends use it to communicate and study. The fourth picture is an image of my favorite ice cream Oreo Cookies and Cream. I like ice cream because it keeps me awake when doing my homework late at night, and because I enjoy eating it. The fifth picture illustrates my desire to sleep. The last couple of school years I have been sleeping only five to six hours a day. Tests, projects and homework have all made it hard for me to fulfill my love for sleep. The sixth picture shows an activity I have declined in doing, that is watching TV. Being a huge sports fan, I like to follow my favorite sports teams. Believe it or not I still have an interest in watching cartoons. Furthermore, watching TV is a great way to bring a family together. The seventh picture is a photo of a car I hope to purchase in the future, an Audi S7. My interest in cars has grows the more I research about them. If I had to pick a major not from the business field, it would be mechanical engineering. The eight and last picture is a photograph of my favorite color, blue. I like the color blue because it depicts my personality calm, quiet, and laid back.

Kevin A. Henao Blog Post #1

My full name is Kevin Anthony Henao and I’m 18 years old. The pictures below are of things that I like and things that are important to me.
First, my IPhone and IPod are essential for my survival. I don’t go anywhere with out my IPhone and IPod and if I don’t have them, I feel useless.
FOOD! My love for food is indescribable. I LOVE Bacon Cheese burgers with cheese fries from Jimbos. But I love trying new foods in general. I may look really skinny and it might give off a vibe that I hardly eat but I EAT A LOT. Food is just beautiful.
Although I stopped skating because I have no time, skating has been a special part of my life. Skating was the first sport I enjoyed and practice with out the consent of my Father. My father made me play soccer for a while and even though I liked playing soccer, it got boring. But skating introduced me to new friends, new environments, happiness and peace.
I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to math. In high school, the highest math class I took was Calculus 2. I enjoyed that class so much. Math and science has always been my favorite subjects in school no matter what the Math course or Science course, I never had a boring day in those classes. Except, I couldn’t stand Geometry. For some reason, that class and I could not mix.
This is a picture of a group of friends. I love my friends. I met most of my best friends in the 4th grade and ‘till this day, we still talk and hang out. We have had some problems here and there but like a family, we let them slide because at the end of the day we all love each other and we will never break our group apart. In fact, we are already planning on where we are going to move in together.
My music is special to me. Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers have been on repeat for about a year now. Ever since I discovered them, I was hooked. They don’t rap about the usual things Rappers now-a-days rap about. Instead they rap about the mind, your strengths that are trapped within and living life to your fullest potential. Although this doesn’t explain much about my life, I always encourage people to take a chance and listen to them.

Well these are some pictures that explain some important things in my life. This isn’t everything but it’s a start to introducing myself. I’m a difficult person to understand and it takes a while to understand the things I do. But once you get to know me, I can be a very cool person and hopefully make you laugh your ass off.

So, the first picture on my slideshow is my hometown, Oceanside. After a while my town has become pretty boring but its where I met all my friends so I can’t really complain. For fun in my town I usually play handball at the local park. I think I’m addicted to it cause I just can’t get enough of it. Everyday this summer I have played handball and I still keep this trend going. I’m a HUGE soccer fan. I’d rather attend a soccer game then any other sports game. I have been playing since I was 3 years old so the passion I have for the game is tremendous. My favorite team is FC Barcelona just because Lionel Messi is my favorite player. Other then that, the next picture is of me mean muggin’ with some food. Coming from an Italian family, it’s difficult not to have a love for food. There’s always food in my house, and I’m usually the one who eats it all. Spicy food is the best food. I put hot sauce on literally everything I eat. Sometimes, if we run out of hot sauce in my house, I won’t eat because I love it so much. Then, the next picture is of all my friends and I at Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC). I can honestly say my favorite thing to do is to attend raves. The atmosphere is fantastic and I have met some lifelong friends at these concerts. I really started getting into it this summer when I would attend at least one rave every week. Definitely the best summer yet. I met this one man at Governor’s Island who actually attended Baruch and he played a major role in my decision to attend this school. So maybe I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. We’ve only been at Baruch for a couple weeks now but I can already tell I’m going to enjoy these next few years to come. I love being a Baruch Bearcat.

Even though I don’t drive, I love in being in a car when someone else is driving.  Whether a 5 minute drive to buy groceries or an hour drive to another borough, I simply love looking out the window and enjoying the view, especially on the highway.  To me, it’s super relaxing.  The next three pictures are foods that I’ve cooked or baked myself.  When I had nothing to do during the summer, I would bake all kinds of cookies and cakes.  I also learned a lot of Chinese, American, Korean and Japanese dishes based on online recipes and my dad being a chef.  I actually fell in love with baking and cooking so even after college started I continue to learn during my free time.  The next two pictures are showing one of my favorite Korean boy band: JYJ, and favorite drama: Rooftop Prince!  Yoochun, a member of JYJ, is coincidentally one of the main characters in the drama.  He’s a great actor so he happens to be in really good dramas.  Even though I’m Chinese, I’m really into Korean culture, such as their language, food, music, shows and dramas.  The next picture is the Fuji Mountain in Japan, which I visited last summer.  Everywhere was absolutely beautiful; I wished I could live there.  My family and I would go on vacation every summer and Japan was definitely the best place we’ve went to.  Lastly, I am a fan of fashion, heels being part of it.  Reason might be cause I’m only about 5’1″, but I’ve loved wearing them ever since high school.

Kenny Jin Blog Post #1

 I love cycling. It’s an opportunity to exercise and have fun and you can get both a rush of adrenaline or feelings of peace and relaxation. Some other hobbies I have are playing the drums and the guitar. I’m self taught so I’m not that amazing but I’m definitely a lot better at drums than the guitar, although I would love to be able to play all different types of instruments.

Another passion I have is for animals. I’ve always grown up loving cats and dogs and all other sorts of pets. A dog truly is a man’s best friend, but so is a cat or a bird or maybe even a fish.

I love money and anyone who says they don’t is a liar. I like the thought of making money and having money and being able to spend money.

I also really love food, you know, ’cause I need it to live? I eat a lot and I eat just about anything. I don’t really have a favorite, but I could really go for some Shake Shack right now. So that’s why I included a picture of that.

People who knew me when I was younger might know me as a little crazy. Or just stupid. It’s probably the latter, but I’ve always had crazy sorts of hairstyles growing up. I’d rather not show pictures, but I’ve went from hairstyles like blowout/afro to mohawks to some weird stuff that I don’t even know what to call it. I even dyed my hair blue once.

Like I said, I really love animals. In the future, I want to pick up breeding on the side. So if you want a cute little puppy, give me a call.

Jin Sung Lee Blog Post #1

The first picture shows where I came from. I came from Korea seven years ago. When I think about back then I realize how much I have changed and improved from then. The second picture is a calculator. My favorite subject is math, and it interests me. I may fall a sleep in any classes but never in math because almost everything I learn there is interesting. When I get home on weekdays, I enjoy playing computer games. That is why the third picture is a computer. I enjoy many games, including League of Legends, Sudden Attack, Star Craft, and many other games. I do have other things like xbox360 and wii but I have never played them, only my little brother plays them. I have not played them because they do not interest me and I only enjoy games on computer. The next three pictures are my favorite foods. They are Korean, but I enjoy other foods too, like pizza and hamburger. These foods, in order, are called kimbab, galbi, and bibimnaengmyun. The last one is spicy but it is awesome. Eating them together for a meal would make me so happy. Just thinking about it right now makes my mouth water and makes me hungry. The next picture is a picture of studying. I always hated studying at home. But I realized that I need to start studying at home in order to be more successful in College. I do not like it but I will start getting use to studying at home and hopefully be comfortable doing it later on. The last picture is of course, my favorite, money. Honestly, I want to major in accounting, not because I want to, but because I heard you can make lot of money. I would really have  any job that would make me lot of money. I do not really have a dream of what I want to become but to get really rich. So much money that I will feel like I am not spending any money when I am everyday. This probably will not happen but who knows, I may become a billionaire in the future.
