All About Me

My name is Fernanda and my friends call me Fer. I have lived here in Puerto Vallarta for about 5 years now. I have had one of the best experiences here ever. I used to live in San Diego for most of my life, but then we moved here to Mexico. I now see that the two are actually very different and I can easily imagine that it is the same case there in Bangkok. I have never been there, but as far as I know, it seems very interesting. There are a very wide variety of things I enjoy doing. I actually used to be very sporty a few years back. I played soccer, tennis, and gymnastics. Now, I have kind of fallen back on the habit of doing sports, even though I do occasionally have to run laps in P.E class. Other things I really enjoy doing are cooking and drawing. Those are about the only creative things I can do. I can’t sing at all, and I can’t dance. I can fluently speak two languages, Spanish and English. When I was younger, I could also speak French but I forgot how to. All I can remember are the colors and numbers. I also really enjoy music, but nothing related to Disney, like Miley Cyrus and that stuff. I prefer other types.
I love movies. I have seen practically every movie made on earth. It is a very addictive pastime. Reading is something that also interests me deeply. My favorite set of books is the Twilight Saga. I am completely in love with Edward Cullen. I don’t know if you know whom I’m talking about, but in case you don’t, he is a very seductive and completely handsome Vampire. That is what my friends and I are kind of obsessed with. He is my impossible love, and I also love the movies, even though the first two have barley been released (Twilight and New Moon). They are both amazing and I deeply recommend you see them both. If you are a girl, you’ll fall in love with either Jacob, the sexy werewolf, or Edward, the romantic vampire. If you are a boy, you’ll enjoy the action.
Changing subject, I am deeply excited to be going to Acapulco on Christmas Vacation. I can’t wait to see all of my family and receive many, many presents. For the moment I am single, and still waiting to find my Edward Cullen. Nobody is good enough here… hahaha just kidding. I have long dark brown hair and brown eyes. I am very tall like, 5"6 and I am not overweight or anything like that. I am looking forward to learning more about you, and my teacher has informed us, that we are going to be pen pals. So I suppose that will work out perfectly. Well, more about me is that my life dream is to travel the world. I would love to do that right before I go to college. Get to know all of the places I have never been to before. I went once to Europe when I was younger, and from what I remember, it was amazing. I enjoyed learning more about the cultures there. As well as I am also very eager to learn more about your culture. I hope with what I have said about myself, you get a good picture of what I am like. I am looking forward to reading your reply. Take care.

Sound Mash Up

For this second mash up that we made, it was very different. I think it was a lot harder to do than the sound Mash Up. Since I made all of the sounds myself, it took me a lot longer to do. Although, I also think that the teacher should have given us a more wide variety of sources and more things to use. Since with only the sounds it is a lot harder to make it have a specific rhythm that fits in. It was very hard to think of what sounds to use in my song at first. But then I got more of the hang of it. The thing I like the most of my ending song is that all of the sounds were made from me and my friends. The only thing I would have changed would have been that I would have made more sounds with the things around me rather than all on with my own voice. My song lasts 1:35 minutes, and has a few pits of other songs. I really enjoyed doing it and liked how it turned out in the end. I would very much enjoy it if we could do another one like this but with fewer restrictions and more possibilities.

Mash-Upz!

In my Group mash ups, I saw a variety of many things. In my Group there was Paola, Jorge, Eduardo, Pedro Pablo, and Taku. I enjoyed watching Paola’s since she used a lot of songs throughout the whole mash up. I loved how Taku elaborated his. It was very complete and was one of the ones that I liked the best. From seeing all of their Mash ups, I noticed that I should have probably used a lot more songs than the ones that I used. I was only able to use three different songs, but it sounded as if I had only used two. I enjoyed watching all of the mash up that were in my group. I realized that it is actually very easy to make mash ups for everyone.

With my mash ups, I did encounter a few consequences but in the end it was worth it. At first I had no idea how to use garage band since I used my Mac. It was very hard to understand what program to use. After a few minutes I was able to see how to use it, and I was actually quite easy. I finally finished the mash up in an hour and a half. Once I finished doing my mash up, I transferred it into Itunes. When I listened to in once in my ipod, it sounded as if it were a real song. I am very happy with how it turned out in the end, but I would have definitely changed the fact that I really only used three songs. I enjoyed the whole process of making my Mash up.
