These pictures describe who I am. The first picture shows how I was a diva as a child, I loved dressing up, and I was sassy; most of you can see that I haven’t changed much! The second picture is a perfect way to describe the current me- classy and dressed up but I never in denial of my sport and the fact that I am an athlete. The third picture shows three generations of strong, independent women from youngest to oldest. My Abuela and Ma are the most phenomenal women in my life. They raised me to be everything I am today and have shaped most of what I will become, my love for them is unconditional. The fourth picture is of me and “B-Love”, my mini-me, my headache, my world- my brother all in one. The picture perfectly describes our relationship and goofy tendencies. The fifth picture is of me playing basketball, which is not only a passion to me- it has become a lifestyle. I am a different person when I play, my soul is freed. This sport has given me my competitive edge and it has been a reflection of the power of diligence. The sixth picture shows me acting onstage in one of my school’s plays. I have a particular love for acting, and if I had enough experience to pursue a career in it, I would. The seventh pic was taken this past summer on my vacation to Dominican Republic. I’m a risk-taker, so I believe that facing your fears (and surviving after) is one of the most beautiful things in life. The last and final picture shows complete happiness with my fHi, I’m Vanessa 🙂avorite quote. If God blessed us with so many positive things in life, the least we can do is find a reason to laugh and smile each day… I hope you find something to smile about today 🙂

Hooping is my main passion.  A circle is never ending, although each time around I seem to learn something new. In the last year hooping I’ve learned to laugh at myself, to persevere, have determination, and of course balance. When I am in the circle, nothing else matters. It is zen, it is expression, it is just enough hippie to make it impossible to be mad and I love every minute of it. I do a bunch of other stuff as well like cycling, rockwall climbing, swimming, hip hop dance, I fenced for four years, and I’m kind of an adrenaline junkie. So that’s me, in under 4 minutes!

I have created this playlist with my all time favorite songs. All of these are songs that I can relate to. There’s a theme in this playlist and that’s rebellion. You might notice that Jewel has the most songs in my playlist, well that’s because she’s my favorite artist! I made a playlist because the songs speak for themselves, I don’t have much more to say.

sharing my life

Hey everyone, this is Peiyi, I know I don’t talk much in school,  but I’ll introduce myself through this blog therefore you can get to know about me.

I was born and raised in China, and I came here with my family few years ago. We live in Queens and I liked it here. I went to Cardozo High school and met a lot of friends,  they made my high school years the best memory so far. When I’m around them, I can be really crazy and laughing like there is nothing to worry about if they are with me. Friendship has always been the most important to me.  I like to travel and I have been to few other states before. My favorite state is Boston, it is very clean over there, and people that I met were nice too. If I can, I’ll  move to Boston and spent my adulthood there. I also like to have a job in the summer, I worked with little children and in the nail salon before. Getting to associate with other people through work have made my life more colorful, therefore I always enjoy my work. Music can always comfort me in someway. My favorite artist is G-dragon, the leader of Korean group called Bigbang. I like his music, his talent, his smile, and almost everything about him. If you guys get to know him, he’ll become your favorite too. Lastly, as you all know, I study at Baruch College,  I like my LC classmates, and I hope to have a nice job in the future.

FRO Blog 1 <~ (8 Image Slideshow)

Hey guys! This is an eight image slideshow that describes my life and what I like to do. It doesn’t really explain my WHOLE life, but you’ll get the general ideas from these pictures hopefully. The first picture is a picture of me! That small asian girl next to me touching my face is my best friend Song. It was taken in my room a few hours before I left for vacation in the summer of 2012. The second picture is of a place that I would really like to live in one day. I have visited South Korea many times before and I have family there. I really like it there because it is more modern, clean, and…well..the people are nicer haha. I wish to live somewhere near Seoul, the capital. The third picture I put up to show that I love to sleep! Who doesn’t love to sleep?!?!? Sleep is one of the best things ever and I love to sleep in my spare time. However, if you see me dozing off in class or something, please kindly wake me up. The fourth picture is of a karaoke place. One of my favorite things to do is to hang out with my friends at a karaoke room. It sounds more fun than you think. It brings all my friends together and I have so many cherished memories of going to karaoke with my friends, especially from this summer. The fifth picture is to show that I love to travel. Whether it be by plane or boat or whatever, I just love to visit many cool places. I really like going to warm vacation spots too, like the Dominican Republic and Mexico! The sixth picture is to explain that I like to play video games. Some of my favorite genres would be fighting, jrpg, simulation, and more. I like Street fighter, Darkstalkers, League of Legends, and Animal Crossing. I don’t have too much time to play video games anymore but I still do occasionally when I’m really bored. The seventh picture is of a Kpop idol named Hyorin!!!! Hyorin is the leader of a Kpop group called Sistar. She is my favorite idol and she has been nicknamed as “Korea’s Beyonce” for her amazing voice. She has a very compelling charm when she sings and I love her laugh.I like all of Sistar but she is my ultimate favorite. The last picture I have in this set is a photo booth picture of me and my friends from last week at Dave and Busters. We always have fun and I have them to thank for all the great times I’ve had this summer. Without them I wouldn’t be who I am today and I couldn’t ask for better friends (p.s., there are more friends that I didn’t put pictures of because I couldn’t find pictures with them in time). I hope to make more friends like this at my time in Baruch. Thanks for reading!

http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Jakes+Inspirational+Tunes/90629966

Hello fellow LC11 classmates. My approach on this assignment was auditory, as I love utilizing my ears for pleasing sounds like music and such. The playlist I created, which I named: Jake’s Inspirational Tunes, speaks in the same way that I do, and I feel it adequately represents who I am. Each song represents a characteristic of mine, and I am excited to share these inner characteristics with my homies at LC11. Below is a list of each song, which is playable in the link I attached. Enjoy.

Apartment Story by: The National: This one is pretty basic. I was born in a suburban household and lived in one my whole life. My life story until now was at home. Currently my life story is an apartment story. And as time passes the story will continue to develop.

Blessed ft. Kendrick Lamar by Schoolboy Q: I am a very spiritual person. I cherish every day that I live, and I look forward to the next. I feel blessed in every aspect of my life, and I am proud that I can say that.

Byegone by: Volcano Choir: Most people don’t know what this word means, but it means “belonging to an earlier time.” I am jewish, and we follow customs and traditions that have been observed for thousands of years by other jews. In that aspect, many of the things that I do are byegone.

Daily Routine by: Joy Bada$$: Organization is always one of my top priorities, and to that respect my daily routine is very organized. I like having a plan going into my day, as I feel that can lead to the most enjoyable day.

Fashion Killa by: A$AP ROCKY: This one is also pretty simple, I’m a straight up Fashion Killa!

Fidelity by: Regina Spektor: Fidelity means faithfulness, and expressing loyalty and support to a cause. I return favors by expressing my loyalty to someone  for what they have done, and from that point I will be forever faithful to that person.

For Body and Kenzie by: Teen Daze: This one was not on the music site, so I have a link attached at the end of this section. This song doesn’t have any inner meaning, it is just spontaneous and fun, just like me. If you listen to any songs, listen to this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2DYofn3MbQ

Keel by: Volcano Choir: This artist loves weird worded songs. A keel is the foundation of a boat. In the ocean a boat need a strong foundation to support it through the rough waters. This foundation allows it to get from point A to point B. Because of my supportive foundation, which has developed over the past few years through my experiences, allows me to get from day A to day B, and beyond.

Luck of Mine by: Bishop Allen: As I said before, I cherish everyday, and that is because I feel lucky. This luck of mine not just gets me through time, but gets me through it enjoyably.

DNA by: Danny Brown: This song finishes off this playlist well. I am who I am and I will do everything in my power to improve myself, but some things are just meant to be. People need to think about what they have and not what they don’t have. All of us are different, quite different actually, and we all need to embrace and take advantage of those unique traits of ours.
