High School Lovers at Spring Fest

"The scene centers on a bedridden young woman dying of tuberculosis—or possibly of a broken heart, as suggested by the Shakespearean title of a preliminary study, “She Never Told Her Love”. The picture was notorious both for the “artificiality” of its technique and for its subject matter, which was considered too morbid and painfully intimate to be represented photographically." - metmuseum.org -

Super (last) Sunday

I am sport's fan since I was a kid. My life has been around many kinds of sports always, From badminton to running track, from swimming to soccer (yet my favorite of all time). And then, 2012 brought me a new favor of sport. A favor I only have privilege to taste, to understand (just enough to not feeling dumb), to enjoy, and to earn it myself. I am talking about football,American football.

I had heard about this "football" back when I still was in my country, where we consider football is soccer. I know all about American football by just looking at pictures online. My access to it is limited, so my knowledge about it. Nobody in my country knows about this kind of sport's existence but "gambler" (you know why!)

In the end of 2010, I moved to America. The Superbowl on 2011 is still invisible to me because I do not want to watch. However, my mind changed after one year living in America. With Superbowl 2012, I want to open my sport game a little bit, or maybe I just want to have more fun living in America. I just want something to talk about the day after. I know that all my friends would share stories about the game later all day, and I did not want to be left out.

It was the first and memorable game. It was the game between New England Patriots and New York Giants. I was watching the game without knowing a single simple rules about it. I just simply watched and figured it out by myself. Even that matter, I felt something about this sport, and somehow knew the reason why people here are so proud of this game and crazy about it and wait for it.

Then, I decided I might not be watching the whole football season every year but Superbowl is a must-watch on my list (Halftime show is one of my reason).

This year is my 4th Superbowl and it was on Arizona - the state I am residing. I saw all the banners, the ads about the event months ago the game. Everyone is up to the game. They wished the home team - Arizona Cardinals - would make it to the game. Unfortunately, the Cards could not make it. However, it could not ruin the hype about the game here. This time, the game was between New England Patriots (again) and Seattle Seahawks. The game was so intense, both teams played the best out of them, they put all their best out trying to bring the trophy home. The trophy is one and only and Patriots was just lucky and good enough to snap it home. The halftime show this year was on point too. Katy Perry is just killed it. She was on her best last night. She put out the best performance out of 4 I have ever seen. The ads during the game was good in couples and bad in others. I just love this sport more and more. I love everything about it. Next season, I will try to watch as many games as possible in the regular season and the Superbowl next year, of course.

1. Think MILLIONS times before starting to do something. You cannot keep going back and doing thing you have already done, just because you do not like your first idea. 2. A website simply cannot work without a file which is index.html. DO NOT try to make up another name for it.

3. Global CSS file can save you tons of time.

4. Coding web is fun, just when you know the right way to do!

5. Finals are deadly

Music is for our soul.

First, I am not an expert about music. To me, music is a therapy for my soul. Whenever, wherever, no matter what happens, music is there to be friend with you. I am not just saying just about those music from your music devices or Youtube channels. I am talking about those sounds around us which come from nature. They are song too. You, obviously, have listened to many songs. You might and might not like them all for some reason. But,

Have you ever listened to any one "good" song which has a magical ability to bring a memory, a a feeling about something or someone back to you?

I am having one right now!

There is a boy...

He has a girl whom he loves a lot. But ...

now, she always wants him to set her free.

How can he let her out of his sight when she is the only thing he want to look for.

How can he let her go when she is everything he gets for himself in this lonely world.

He is not sure he can do it because...

He knows that he loves her more than she loves him, at least at this moment!

We are raising money to support as many graphic design students from Arizona State University as we can. This Chicago trip will provide a once in a lifetime experience through exposure to design disciplines, getting professional advice and having the ability to network and open up potential internship or job opportunities.

Everybody have their own dreams. The dreams can led them to the places they want which normally are happiness, and successful. Me - I want to be success as a graphic designer later in my future. Right now, I am on the right track to that dream, and ASU's graphic design program and GDSA are helping me to achieve that goal.

Part of the dream, I am doing right now is to get active in school with projects and event as much as I can. By doing this, I will not only make myself as a normal designer but an active and passionate one. 

Next spring break, GDSA will offer me a chance to travel to Chicago to see and experience more cultures and perspectives in design business. I will have a chance to tour design firm and agency over there to get in hand real touch of what designers are made of and what they really up to. I see it will be my great opportunity to get more knowledge in process of myself development.  However, that dream will not be real easy if I do not have your help!  Support me and Help My Dream more Visible! Thank You!
