Tattoos

Vocabulary

B) Represent: Be entitled or appointed to act or speak for (someone), esp. in an official capacity.
C) Symbolize: Represent by means of symbols.
D) Value: The regard that something is held to deserve; the importance or preciousness of something.
E) Passionate: Showing or caused by strong feelings or a strong belief.

Questions

1) Five things that I value are my family, close friends, boyfriend, health, and my future becoming a success.
2) Three things I am passionate about are having my own baking and pastry business in the near future, achieving my goals and ambitions in life, and traveling the world with my family, husband and kids. 
3) Hypothetically, If I ever chose to get a tattoo ever in my life it would represent either these 3 things: 1) Symbol of my family 2) Something that I went through in life that was a difficult time for me to get through but pulled through it because everything in life has its reasons even if the reasons are unknown or 3) Symbol of my children and husband. 
4) The reason why I those my family, children and husband, and life as my three options to symbolize on my body are because those three main things will always be my happiness and keep me going in life. No matter how rough my day can be or how sad I am because of a certain reason my family, husband and children will always be there for me, regardless. If I chose to put a certain symbol to represent something to look back to in the future I wouldn't really know what symbol to choose. I've never been a whole fan of tattoo's but everyone has their reasons. I don't see myself getting a tattoo in the future but if I had to make a choice then it would represent those three things.  

5)

"No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again" behind an infinity symbol. If I had the choice to get a tattoo I would choose to get the one above. Not that specific outline I would make the writing scripted and the infinity symbol just as bold then the writing. The reason I chose this quote is because it referees to my grade 8 and 9 years when I was going through the wrong path in life. I have a blog I wrote about my past which referres to this tattoo I have chosen. http://cassyolazo.blogspot.ca/2013/04/hamlet-response.html and http://cassyolazo.blogspot.ca/2013/03/poem-responce.html

Distinct Public Persona: (Previous Gladiator Assigment)

Someone that comes to mind who has a distinct public persona then my own is one of my closest friend whom does not what to be mentioned unfortunetly. If curious to know who this person is then I'd rather you ask me personally. I, myself when it comes to my public persona am very outgoing, friendly, and warm but my friend is different from myself. She has the type of public persona who is shy until you get to know her personally, a great friend, hilarious, trustworthy, caring, softhearted, considerate, and blunt to certain people. I think both of our personas a quite different because she is an ISFJ and i'm an INTP/ENTP, (INTP & ENTP is described on my previous posts) http://cassyolazo.blogspot.ca/#!/2013/02/entp-intj.html we do get along but we see things differently. I think about the future while she thinks about the moment and past. Living in the moment and past is not a bad thing don't get me wrong but you should also look ahead in life. Ask yourself questions, where can I see myself in 20 years? What do I enjoy doing? What do I wanna do for a life time? If all you do is dwell on the past and moment your not going to get very far. You'll be stuck around your 20's, living at home, relying on your parents, and having a part time job for a life time that pays 14$ hr. Realisitically, you can't depends on that. My public persona builds me to communicate great with people without hesitation, create new frienships unexpectadly, and do very well on interviews without getting nervous. I wouldn't trade who I've grown to be for anything in the world, you have to accept who you are, do changes that will benifit yourself and future, and learn to live with it. Everyone isn't perfect but we should never change our ourselves drastically for someone else. Everything in life has a reason especially for who we are.

Poem Related To Me: (Previous Assignment)


Poem Responce

A few days ago we discussed a poem called "Be The Change you Wish To See" written by an unknown author I unfortunately couldn't seem to find. The first two lines of the poem say "Eyes in the skies up so high, A.I is deaf to hopeless cries". A.I is a short abbreviation for artificial intelligence which is a theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception. "Eyes in the skies up so high" in my personal opinion stick out to mean the most because those 7 words look so little but have so much meaning and thought behind it. For example who knows what this also could be referring to, possibly Illuminati? When you give it time and thought to process the meaning of the poem it COULD also be referring to possibly even the government. In BC there are many lights and camera's everywhere especially in the city of Vancouver. Why? Maybe because Vancouver's violence and drug use has gone higher the past couple years that they keep surveillance camera's around Vancouver to keep an eye on everyone since security guards and police can't always be there 24/7. For example if a random homeless person got beat up in the middle of a dark alley by 2 guys who has no face coverage whatsoever and nobody was around but a random girl walking who will obviously not do anything but call cops, police could look at the surveillance video's and identify the 2 people who brutally beat up the homeless man. By the time the women called the police the 2 men most likely ran away and the only thing they can track the guys with are the videos. Cameras are not there always to be all up in your personal space and watch every move you do, Cameras are meant for all sort of reasons sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad. When I talk about the bad I mean those creepy people who put cameras inside certain objects to spy on what you are doing. "Excuse my negativity but we have reached The Age Of Futility" these 10 words relate to me because I used to be such a negative, lazy (useless) person when I was 14-15. Whenever my parents asked me to do the simplest things like go to work, go to school, and be honest, I didn't do any of those 3 things. A Year later I went through a rough time with my parents, I didn't wanna come home, I didn't wanna go to school and I didn't wanna work. I got taught the hard way and later down the road I then realized by the time I was 16 to be appreciative, thankful, blessed, honest, caring, hardworking, independent, positive no matter how tough the situation is, and be honest with my parents. Don't get me wrong I've always respected to my parents and loved them like no other but I chose the wrong way to show them my affection. I learned I was a negative person and I didn't have the brains then to change my futility but then again if did not learn the hard way I wouldn't be where I am today. Everything in life happens for a reason. Everything in life is a lesson.
