NBA Game Watch

Maybe it's the Sport management minor in me but Chicago is kicking ass and they better. I don't care what anyone says, Miami is, and will always be, a horrible team. I had so much respect for Alan when he was with the Celtics. But when he moved with the heat, that was it for me. He didn't believe in the Celtics could win a championship. Because if he did, he wouldn't have left with the heat...a team who had won a championship before...a team who was going to pay him LESS than Boston was. He's a sellout. The end.

Creativity Process 3: Kate Lummus

Here are a few facts about Kate.

Christmas time!

Still on my study break. Isn't my tree wonderful? So this year we changed the color of ornaments at the very last minute. We had initially bought a sea theme set of ornaments for our tree but my mom and I realized that we were neglecting the whole. "Winter feel" so we changed it to classical colors like red and gold.

Study Break

Because we have a million things to get done, we decided to have a study break and take pics. :) classic.

A Better Advertising World.

"I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself".

-Aldous Huxley

I love this quote. I am always so worried that I haven't figured out my purpose in life. I hope I can change the world with better Advertising and erase the negative criticism that Advertising has gained because of bad ads.

Multitasking in Sports Law

Finals are coming!

Final Project.

I decided to draw my final project. I consider myself the worst at drawing, I suck! But during my last days of being alive (since I knew I was gonna be gone pretty soon) I decided to draw something I normally wouldn't do. Why a tree? Why the colors?

I decided to draw a tree for a couple reasons. A tree represents nature, paradise and calamity. I wanted to leave this drawing as a reminder that I am in a better state in life; I'm in heaven, a paradise that there isn't any suffering or wickedness. Although my leaves have fallen (because of my illness) I leave a mark of hope and reassurance. My spirit will live on forever with the joyful memories my loved ones have. Just like a tree, I remain a strong presence and reminder of how amazing God truly is.

I choose to use gel pens, sharpies, and color pencils to illustrated my drawing. With a little help of editing in my computer I made the picture seem alive and full with color, just how trees look when it's autumn. I wanted to remind my loved ones that death isn't always a tragic thing. Instead, I wanted them to see my death as beautiful takeaway. My life was in God's hands and he decided it was time for me to stay with him forever.

Creative Process 2: Danny Gregory (Chapter 3)

Danny talks about his creative process and idea strategy in our book. He mentions about how it's important to practice. Practicing eventually leads to perfection; come up with many ideas as possible and try them ALL.

Next is using all the material you have. Music, Paintings, Drawings, Libraries, Art Galleries. Be inspired by others work! It will do you good,

Lastly, your 'space'. Use your environment to calm you down and organize your thoughts. Go somewhere quiet and take in all that you see and feel. Use all your ideas and bunch them up to make the ultimate creative work you wish to do.

Thanksgiving Pics!

Thankful for my lovely mother! This was taken before our guest arrived.

Thankgiving Break

I am pretty happy about my Thanksgiving Break. It turned out to be pretty cool and simple. Not that simple is bad, I enjoyed every second spent with my fam! We stuffed our faces and watched the Dallas Cowboys game.

I things I am most Thankful this year is health and a roof over my head. Some people are less fortunate than me and sometimes forget about how truly blessed I am with the things I have. Gotta say that I have everything I will ever need. :)

I've been eating leftovers for the past two days. Lol, I think it's time for something else. Just kidding. I am grateful for my leftovers as well :D

Creative Process 1: Dustin Ballard and 'The Key'


Dustin Ballard, from The Richard's Group, talks about his creative process. He explains that ideas come in different size, which I agree, that it's true. As I thought about my mission statement for my final project I kept coming up with 'small ideas' and wrote them down. But then, I noticed that I could do something more to my mission statement, like changing a word here there, making my ideas 'pretty good'. After looking through the Oscar's photo gallery for a bit, I had the 'big idea' and went with it. My key was to understand what I wanted to write using the ideas I came up with.

It's interesting to note that I didn't go with my first idea that I had for my mission statement. My brain somehow figured something better, cleaner, and unique. I was open to think of other ideas and not be stubborn to follow through with the idea I had initially. Does this make sense? I hope. Dustin's a pretty creative guy. I like his creative process.

Mission Statement.


I want to create a world filled with God’s love and more smiles.
 
I had a lot of words that dealt with God and smiles. Therefore, I made my mission statement using those words.

Sample #1 Eulogy


Hello everyone, my name is Edgar Barron. I would like to thank you for being here today on this special day to remember Dalyla, my beautiful wife, best friend and soul mate. Dalyla wasn’t just only my wife, she was a blessing God sent me down from Heaven. She still means the world to me, even if I don’t have her here. She is gone, but her spirit lives on forever. Dalyla and I shared wonderful moments with our families. Those are the memories I will remember, her smile, her laugh, the way she made everything fun and exciting. That is how I will remember her. I reminisce the first time Dalyla and I went to Six Flags during our young, dating years. She was so happy that I finally had the courage to ride the rollercoaster I feared as a boy. The way she laughed while I hanged on to my life was, at the moment, very upsetting to see. She made fun of me! But I now laugh too; she was only trying to make me face my fears. She always wanted the best for me; because she believed that I deserved it, even when I didn’t. She made me realize my self-worth. I love her. I will never forget our Wedding. She made me the happiest man alive. The smile on her face was priceless. I will never forget that smile. Dalyla wasn’t your ordinary friend. She was your shoulder to lean on, the sweetest individual I ever met. Her family, friends, and I have so many great stories about her. The day she graduated from SMU was such an inspirational day. She made me so proud! Watching her walk that stage filled me up with so many emotions. My babygirl had worked her ass off during those 4 years, and she had finally made it! Even though we didn’t make it to raise children, we always talked about it. She was taken too soon, but I don’t blame God. He gave me Dalyla just for a little while because she belonged to Him, not me. She feared and loved God so much. She was the one who led me to His path and now I am more than happy to live in His word because I know that’s what she would want. To keep following Him. I miss you babygirl. Let’s remember the good times with Dalyla. Let the memories live on forever. Thank you.

Just one more Halloween picture

You can see the detail of the make up on this photo. Doesn't it look awesome?!

Late upload

So this was the outcome for my boyfriend's and I costume. I was a little frustrated at first because the makeup wouldn't stick, my boyfriend was acting like a girl because I was putting makeup on him etc etc. But it turn out great! Even though there wasn't a best costume award at my sister's party, I nominated us to win first place.  :) haha

Culture is Pride, Pride is Success.

The Multicultural Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council were  recognized today with a beautiful mark. Each fraternity and sorority from both councils have worked extremely hard to get this historical monument at SMU. I am so proud to say that now, all of SMU community will witness the outstanding dedication of what a small but determined group of councils can achieve. This is only the Beginning for us!

The Dallas Exhibition Center

Last Thursday I had the opportunity to visit The Dallas Exhibition Center over in the Softlayer building. My overview of the tour was not what I expected. I thought I was going to find myself touring a huge building with millions of offices. Instead, I toured an area that can change lives and businesses in Dallas, where creativity embraces in and out. I found to believe that although the organization is fairly new, the DEC is doing an exceptional job guiding companies and entrepreneurs to a better state in the market and contributing to establish a entrepreneurship environment for the Dallas Metroplex.

The overall mission or goal of the DEC is very interesting. It was designed to guide starting entrepreneurs with a location so they can build their ideas and generate process for their business and products. The DEC provides  help and guidance from mentors who are professionals in what they do to these beginning entrepreneurs, ensuring that their business can growth in all lengths and angles.

I was privilege to meet three of the founding members of the DEC, Trey Bowles, Jennifer Conely and Jermery Vickers.

The DEC also provides internships opportunities for college students.

Free World


I found the writing on this wall so free; it doesn't matter what you write or draw or even say. It's just about letting your hand do the talking. This is how we should live, not giving a fuck about what others say nor think.

What is LOVE

'You don't know what you have, till it is all gone'



I never really understood this saying because I never had an experience that would be appropriate to say or feel it. Of course this phrase can mean anything and not necessarily what everyone feels it should be. My weekend sucked ass. It was horrible. Nothing magical nor creative happened. My life is so complicated. No, I made my life complicated. It's insane how things can change from one thing to the other. I feel lost and without hope because I lost my best friend, partner in crime, soul mate, number 1 fan. Life truly must go on and I guess that's all left for me.

Holla!!!!

Self Portrait

Like how I mentioned in class, I am in love with chocolate. My doctor advises me to reduce my servings with chocolate but as you can see, I cannot resist! However, I would like to add that I wasn't the only one devouring this delicious dessert! :P
