A Day at the Beach

Sorry, I don't have a selfie of me at the beach or the beach itself, but I want to say a what's up for this Friday. Chilling at Avila Farmer's Market by the beach was very soothing and relaxing, especially with family. Music going around the market festivities was entertaining. Whales at the almost summer time shores kept popping up the surface for food. It was a wonderful sight. Playing catch football in the sand was super fun too.

Ended the day there by sitting down by band performers who played awesome songs with family. As I sat there watching oldies dance their way to enjoyment and livelihood, I knew what my life I was living for. I wanted to do what everyone around the market was doing and all came to one single simple answer. Smile. It reminded me of Bree, it reminded me of my future plans, it reminded me of all the things I had to do to give people life.

It was a good feeling. It was something good to start off summer vacation.

Congratulations Class of 2015!

Masterpiece Academy Question

Masterpiece Academy: The Human Push
        Senior year was a rough year personally, but everything boils down to the last four years of high school altogether. I came to know many things I hadn’t known before. I justified the means of relationships, whether it would be family, friends, classmates, teachers, and other advocates who helped advance my way of thinking. The witty words of Montaigne from his last essay that specifically states something we must “espouse.” The things that are collectively espoused are my passions, my accomplishments, my progress, and my future goals. During the masterpiece academy that coincides with the whole course year, there are elements that build up the foundations of the academy itself. All of which many, including I, have developed growth in our own untold story.
        Being treated as one with authority, one with the teacher who understands his/her students is the best thing to obtain. Sometimes an authority figure can keep organization on a tight schedule, but so late in anyone’s high school year such as senior year, it can be hectic and stressful. So having the independence to enjoy a colleague only environment was well worth it. Honestly, I didn’t think that some of students in the group should have earned the high level of trust because the mindset was not set in because of the conditioning of grades and homework was just not there to support the ease. But many did honor the system as a break from anything else that flags adult growth into the independent world. I’ve learned to put my trust with those who are serious projects and getting things done. Those are the people I know deserved the kind of academy we were in.
        If I were to connect myself to a fiction character, I would choose Ishmael. As a romantic hero who decides to reject some of society’s wants and needs, conversely reflecting his own intuition. I feel like my intuition is righteous, not much as radical change, but self-inclination. That’s why Moby Dick marks characters like Ishmael. Pip is also a character I could also relate to because the expectations he perceives are the same as everyone else. He desires more, even though he’s being tricked, but still goes with how the world works. Like him, I don’t necessarily question doubts about others, though I make decisions to better my well-being in order to achieve the approval of others. It wouldn’t be Great Expectations without Pip’s path to expectations.
        In my masterpiece that I’ve spent my year of was based off of dance and medicine. I had other ideas that supported my masterpiece in some ways such as time travel and social ecology. I’ll continue my learning on the subjects by searching on the internet, reading books, extending mentors, etc. I want to also make more connections when over there at college starting with clubs, organizations, volunteering, internships, and events.
        I’ve learned from all the masterpiece presentations that we do the things we do because we love to do them. Whether it’d be with twinning connections, guitar, finding stories, breaking stereotypical/racial barriers, going beyond empirical science, drawing graphic designs technologically, or evolving technology, there’s always a place where we can share passions and concepts that will one day fulfill our goals and dreams. It was a straight masterpiece. Everything was in flow at one point when all of our compilations came in order. Everything started off because of something we had to change or developed an espousing for it.
        In my opinion, my growth does match the end of the hero’s journey. My journey has yet to be started. Initially, I’ll have more freedom to do more carefree. The restrictions I have now are something to hold me down, but that’s the whole ordeal of becoming a hero. I’ve started to think of ways to make changes for the greater good. The call to a hero’s journey followed through in the summer before senior year. That summer was when I found my mentor, a physician of family medicine. He encouraged me to take on everything straight on with the addition of life innuendos.

High School Blog to College Blog?

Okay, I'm thinking of making a transition from this blog by the end of summer to the start of September to create another blog. That blog this time will conjugate all the stuff about college life, specifically based on where I'm going which is University of California Riverside.
I'm also considering making a YouTube channel based on college life in general and create an atmosphere for intended college pursuers. Of course of I'm planning on continuing my masterpiece during my time in college and later in life.

The name on the next blog is most likely going to be ... The Human Push: College Edition ---cheesy I know --- so that it fits in with what I'm studying and how I'm progressing through. It'll be about my hardships, academics, club activities, hangouts, etc. I'll be updating this blog once in a while, but we'll see in the long run with how everything goes. I expect nothing less than what I'm supposed to be doing today than the days of the future.

Honest Game Trailers: Counter-Strike



I do play this game. I'm not so big on customization as most people are, I just play to play and rise up the ranks (ha!)

The Human Push

The history of Hip-Hop first started in the early 1970's back in South Bronx, New York City, New York. The fundamentals of Hip-Hop consist of MC, Graffiti, DJing, and Bboying. The definition of medicine is the art or science of restoring or preserving health or due physical condition. Now the skills and the abilities behind the background of these two are very specific, especially for medicine. For Hip-Hop at the least, generations and generations of ideas are integrated into the culture at a phenomenon rate, yet the roots never die. Medicine has sided with humans for as long as human history is conserved to be. Both generate improvement after improvement, idea after idea, person to person building blocks.

But these two cultures haven't touched each other's boundaries. I want to be the first to recognize the true potential of remixing two insoluble ideas into one element. I'm going to college and I know the path I'm taking is rough (that being pre-medical programs), but I also want to explore the culture of Hip-Hop, specifically the art of breakdancing as well as other popular forms of dance. There's an urge of feels for me to fit in an environment with people with the same background as me. The clinical grounds is one place, but the dance floor is another.

I'm going to make a prejudgment here. The medical field is not fond of those who make mistakes and lack of will power. See, I've made mistakes. Too many. I don't want to be that guy whose always in the bottom of class. I seek will power, but you have to earn that on your own terms. I use dancing in ways of encouragement for boosting will power and fixing my mistakes. You can call it perfection. I call it "look clean, look good." With every move practiced everyday and improving every minute, I can train my mind to get all the right things in place.

I focused my masterpiece on medicine because I literally want to be a life saver to my future patients. Every inch of my action is my responsibility. I want to fill in that role of a good Samaritan who expects positive results. The other half of my masterpiece is because I love to do what I want to do. Bboying is something I want to call my secret technique to medicine. I'd like to go see bboy battles go down....Battle of the Year, Red Bull BC, World of Dance... The B in bboy or bgirl either means break, Bronx, or beat.


The hype begins!

For bboys, we have to follow a certain beat. One, two, three. Boom, boom, bop. All steps and flow all have to be clean. If it isn't clean, no points are awarded and it doesn't look professional. Unprofessional etiquette would reflect how I would do my daily job. Dancing routines is good practice to muscle memory and satisfactory activity.

I shouldn't have no excuses for what I can do or what I can achieve, so let's ask this kid what he thinks about bboying:


Ha! He's definitely killing it.

DO-ABLE.

I've even had suggestions with matching medical terms to dance moves, but trying to fit them out is pretty difficult. I picked up a few med terms like calcifications, pneumothorax, aneurysm, hydronephrosis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, hypo/hyper-triglyceridemia, glaucoma, and some other words that I need to know later on. *Authors Note: Medical terms taking down as notes during physician mentoring program over the summer*

The symbol for Health Care --- No, not Medicare

Whenever I search up medicine and look over to images, all I see is piles of pharmaceutical drugs. Like, really! This is what kids have to see and wonder about. Not much about health physcians or practitioners at work. Medicine is also hard to understand for most people, especially those damn medical terms. But scientifically speaking, that's how medicinal science functions in ways of simpler terms to define complex descriptions.

People may say I'm probably 10 years too late for dancing because the years built up to getting the moves right in a matter of time is easier for a kid who began at an early age. Or they may say I'm 10 years to early to learning medicine because everything that you need to learn is all focused in one place and centralized in a period of constant instruction and experience. I say it's never too early or never too late to start. Not being able to do any of these at all would be at a total loss if I hadn't been motivated to at least try.

I look over at two of these colors that are so much on the opposite sides of the spectrum and visualize them collaborating one day. I want to continue on this masterpiece since its a personal journey I first sought and will later on share the concept so that it is easily acceptable. That's why I named my masterpiece as well as the blog title as the human push. We're a force to be reckoned with (cliche I know), I'm a force without limits. I may follow Newton's Law of Motion, but I follow my own laws of moving forward with this project and get all the support I can to spread cultural awareness.

You know that Lupe Fiasco track Kick Push, yeah that song and picture connected

Bboy Swoopie out!

All AP test done and prom next

From here on out, it's nothing but smooth sailing. That's an overstatement. I'm pretty sure everyone needs to worry about paying fees and such for college expenses like housing, orientation, future meal plans, etc. We also have finals, but honestly, its all a kick starter for college course material (well as long as you retain everything you've learned).

One good thing I'd like to conclude is Prom! Last dance of all of high school, so let's see how it goes!

Four AP Tests done, One more to Go!

*Sigh* It's been rough and tiring and sleepy and ..... It's just whatever it is to get out of some college classes or General Education classes that can be accomplished by passing the AP Exams with a 3 or higher. So much studying and so much preparations. Life as an AP student.
