New York Times

I analyzed the New York Times Blog, this week, and found it out to be very much different than mine. To start off, a huge difference were the links and organization it had. There were links to main and general topics which are not found in my blog. The links were located on the top bar and made it a lot easier for viewers to find what they're are looking for. It also gave the blog organization. This along with the links are essential conventions that a blog must have. Compared to my blog this one is far more excellent. Mine definitely lacks links making a search engine non existent. There are no specific topics included in my hellokitty blog. Something else that was also evident as a convetion in the New York blog was that there were video clips for every post. Each clip gave a clearer understanding of what was posted. I don't include a video or even an image in everything I post. Including visuals draws the viewer in and makes the subject matter more clear. Another convention that was included is contrast. The background is white with black text. This is one convention that was my blog does have because the background is light pink and the letters are a darker color. One thing that I didn't like about New York Times was the color because it's to plain for my taste. I think that the blog dull and lacks brightness. Color is one thing that there is plenty of in my blog because it's pink, and pink is a happy and brighter color. Something that I would like to add is more personality to mine because it's not customized to my taste and when the audience visits it I want my personality to come across in some way. A big difference is that The New York Times Blog looks like a website more than it does a blog page. Its format is almost exactly to a home page in a website which differs completely from mine. Another thing that I observed was that there were related blogs and websites that were added to the New York Blog spot.

Baby's First Moves

A mother’s pregnant belly signifies the beginning of a new life. A woman is the only one with the gift of life. Women embark a new journey the moment they discover that a new life will begin developing within inside of them. Their belly will grow day by day because their baby will mature inside the womb. Sometimes a belly will stretch immensely until making it extremely difficult for the mother to bend down or see her feet. Along with a pregnant belly there come irresistible cravings, uncomfortable sleeping positions, weight gain, emotional unstableness, painful contractions and dreadful hours of labor, but it’s all worth it because nothing compares to the experience of bringing a new life into this world. Thirty six weeks is the time it takes for a baby to be completely grown. Soon enough the mother will feel har baby's first movements. A mother greatly cherishes her pregnancy because she knows that the future of her child is uncertain, but while in the womb their baby is protected from any danger. Mom is the only one with the power of caring for their child during pregnancy. It’s only up to her to maintain herself, as well as the baby, healthy during her pregnancy because what ever mom consumes child eats too. Giving birth to an innocent being is the most significant mission in a woman’s life. Each day it’s an adventure waiting to unfold. Giving birth to another human being is amazing and the most wonderful blessing from God.

"Bridezillas"

There have been a lot of misunderstandings as to what is the most important element in a wedding when a “bridezilla” is the bride, because when they are present nothing is the same. In a wedding, what should really matter is the love that exists within two people and the day that they will become one as they say their vows. When there is a bride that is stubborn, evil, inconsiderate, who that wants everything her way, and is completely selfish she suddenly turns into a monster more commonly known as a “bridezilla.”
Everything seems to go downhill when a bride utterly refuses to compromise at all. She suddenly gets a horrifying attitude and refuses to do what anyone else suggests. When I logged onto www.weddingchannel.com, and watched an actual show called “bridezillas,” I found myself incredibly intrigued with the extreme extents some women go through to get what they desire for their special day. They literally become another person some what like a monster until they finally get what they want and everyone bows to their feet. I want to know why they act the way they do because I can’t understand how some of them are capable of jeopardizing their own wedding. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this happen, and I kept thinking that she was crazy. Who in their right mind can endanger their wedding over having the perfect dress and reception? I wanted to witness these mad brides in action and I knew the perfect place to go: A bridal boutique, where the dress is all that matters. I thought that it would be the ideal place a bride would lose it if something went wrong with their most precious treasure, their wedding dress.
Another site that relates to brides is www.tlc.com because it lets you know that there are some angelic brides left in the world of weddings. It makes you realize that “bridezillas” are truly nuts. These brides are calm, considerate, patient, calm, and caring. They are able to compromise with the groom because they do care about his feelings. Having a perfect wedding, to them, is not as important making their loved one happy. All they care about is letting their partner know how special and wonderful they are through their vows. They want to pour their hearts out about how much they love their soul mate and yell it to the whole world.
As the observer of brides expect to see all the emotion a bride feels when she tries on her wedding dress because I think that’s when they realize that they are actually getting married, and sharing their lives with someone else for ever. I want to see tears, joy, or madness. What I would definitely enjoy observing would be a “bridezilla” having a temper tantrum. I believe it would be the most fun and entertaining, because usually little kids are the ones throwing temper tantrums, but after watching a couple of wedding shows I learned that this is completely false. My audience is unquestionably the grooms and anyone related to these brides because, after all, they have to put up with them.

Anticipated Fantasy

Fans. We are like peasants that admire and praise the king. Our most treasured fantasy is the day when we will come across the most important person in the world to us , our king. We will bow down to him like no one else has, with tears of joy streaming down our eyes. The atmosphere will be tense, and he’ll be terrified, as we devote every breath we take entirely to him. Our lives will never be the same and we will remember this wonderful day for ever. I wish this could happen to me but it is not possible, for now this is just my most anticipated fantasy. I have to settle down with exploring my “kings” website, because it’s not just one king , but four. Their name is Aventura, it’s latin, meaning adventure in English. They are one of the most famous “bachatateros” ever in Latin America. Bachata is one genre in Latin music, with a very smooth and sensual rhythm to it. Right now, their website (aventuraworldwide.com)is the only thing that can fulfill the emptiness inside of me. Aventura’s site is perfectly designed to meet their fans needs, but mostly mine because I am their most loyal fan. This is an essential convention to a website because if you can’t please your audience why would anyone want to visit it? If a person is not satisfied with what they have witnessed they’ll never want visit that site again, unless they are forced to. Aventuraworldwide.com gives me everything I want to know about my “kings.” It provides me with pictures, music videos , tour dates, songs lyrics, latest news, souvenirs, and even a biography. It doesn’t leave me with any questions because the information is all there. Sometimes, when people visit a website, disappointment fills their thoughts because they get nothing out of it , but I’m left answers and satisfaction. The focal point of the website is Aventura because the whole site focuses only on them. When you find yourself in their territory you will soon realize that they’re the sun that lights up the world. As you get the first glimpse of their “world” you see a huge photo, of them, before anything else. Even though Aventura looks amazing in this picture It’s an obstacle when it comes to simple navigation, another important convention. It should not be there because when this photo pops up you feel puzzled, and then you ask yourself “is this all there is?” without noticing the link that is at the bottom of the page. To see the link you have to scroll down a little until you can clearly acknowledge it, which is annoying. Remember that one of the greatest Bachata groups out there is Aventura. If you are ever have an urge to listen to their music please log on to www.aventuraworldwide.com. Not only is their music amazing, but their website is to, because it doesn’t leave you empty handed, and it always gives you what you want. It also follows website conventions like navigation and visitors needs. If listening to Bachata is boring then you don’t have to worry because the dance steps go something like this: 1,2 and pop.

It was every Wednesday and Sunday evening when we met for dance rehearsal. We were creating a dance routine for Corina’s “Quincenera,” known as a sweet sixteen. since I didn’t have a life I loved . One Sunday evening we all gathered around the couch waiting for the others to arrive. After ten minutes of waiting Corina showed us the video, to the song, she was going to dance with her brothers. There were four guys leaning against a black car, the music started playing, and I heard the most beautiful, sweet and relaxing voice singing “hermanita.” “I want to watch it again” I said, I was completely mesmerized with the lyrics, rhythm of the song, and his voice. I became instantly fascinated with Bachata music. From that moment all I wanted to listen, sing and dance to was Bachata. Aventuraworldwide.com is all about a Bachata band that intrepid a genre in Latin music, which music revolves around Bachata. This genre was discovered in the early 1960’s and it emerged as guitar music in the Dominican Republic. Soon after a dance was associated to it , which was inspired by Cuban typical dances , and that’s where the “1,2 and pop” came into play. Allow me to explain: when dancing to this genre you take two steps to the right and then the girls pop their hip, but boys slightly pick them. After stepping to the right you take two steps to the left, there’s also turns involved, but they’re fairly simple steps.
Before having a breakthrough in the music industry Aventura struggled for eight years to get their talent noticed. In the year 2002 their lives changed dramatically as the hit single “obsession” climbed to the top of the Latin music charts. Aventura was the first band to mesh Bachata and R&B, as well as hip hop together. They were also the firsts to perform Bachata in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.” They managed to make Bachata music have a bigger impact all through out the U.S, South America, and even Europe.
Aventura started their adventure in New York. At first they weren’t completely accepted by the “Latino” community because the music that they intrepid was not popular in the U.S. The younger people were the ones that did recognize their talent and music. They, unlike others, did appreciate and embraced what Aventura had to offer. Teenagers, simply , liked their music and quickly adapted them as the “underground” hit group. Because of the of the younger Latin community they became more recognized in New York until one day they finally got discovered.
If Aventura was never acknowledged, as what they are now, Bachata would not be what it is today. Their website would of never existed, for any of the fans, to explore if they never made it in the music business. It’s because of their incredible talent and creativity that Bachata has been recognized in more countries then we could ever imagined. Now I realize, that Aventura is the reason why I enjoy and treasure Bachata music so much. Keep in mind that if anyone wants to learn the “ 1,2 and pop” step I’m more than willing to teach it , just kidding!
