First Blog Post!! by Christian Bautista

Who I am in pictures

The pictures I chose for my blog are what make me who I am today. Each of these pictures tell you a little about me and my hobbies. My first picture is of me and my family. My family has guided me throughout my whole life and continues to do so today. They support everything that I do and always want the best for me. Without them I would be a bland human being, they taught me how to be a happy outgoing person and to enjoy life. My second picture is of me and my dog, Coco, he’s a seven year old shihtzu. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to get a dog, but it wasn’t until I moved into a new home that I was able to actually get one. Having a dog is like having a baby, at first I thought it would all be fun and games, but having a dog taught me how to be responsible. Although he could be a handfull, Coco always brightens up my day. One of my hobbies is visiting museums and exhibitions. I love observing art, especially modern art because it makes me feel tranquil. I always stare at pieces and try to understand them, but everytime I see the piece again my understanding of it changes and I find that magical. Something I’ve been really into recently is Dj’ing. I’ve been Dj’ing for the past 2 and a half years and it’s been a fun experience. So far, I’ve had the oppurtunity to play at clubs, and parties. I’ve learned that you need a lot of patience to be a good Dj and that you ALWAYS need spanish music in your set list. When I’m not Dj’ing, I’m in my room making music with all of my instruments, it’s how I get inspiration to do something productive with my life. I LOVE the stage. Playing in a band with my close friends during highschool was truely an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world. It was a big confidence booster for me and it made me feel alive. The excitement and energy you feel when you play infront of 300 people is a feeling like no other. When the weather is nice, I often grab one of my boards and skate. Although I almost died a hundred times from riding on my boards, I can’t stop riding them. I get an adrenaline rush when I skate in traffic and dodge cars but I learned how to value my life from my close death encounters. My last picture is probably the one that summarizes me the most. It’s of me and my best friends. In a sense they are me, and I’m a combination of all of them. We all understand eachother and know everything there is to know about one another.  I love everyone and everything in all of these pictures because they made me the person you see today.
