Unit 10 Dreamweaver Tutorial Thoughts

        Dreamweaver is a difficult program to learn. I found that when I started learning the dreamweaver program, it wasn't too bad but as i worked through the lessons of the instruction booklet for Dreamweaver program, I found that I had some difficulties. I needed to ask for help throughout chapter 4-6 because I wasn't sure where all the particular tools were. Eventually after I had finished doing all the tutorials, I found that after getting used to tools of Dreamweaver, it wasn't too bad and I think I get Dreamweaver a bit better. I hope I won't have too much difficulty doing the last project, my web profolio which is  Unit 11 and 12. Lastly, my thoughts on reading all the chapters were too long in my opinion but they were helpful in the end. Just very time consuming to read the 12 Chapter of the booklet. Otherwise, it was a good learning experience for a new program.

     This drawing here was inspired from the Friday. Friday was the last day to hand in assignments. I felt so better handing in my assignments because i got so accomplished. I thought in the beginning of the week that I wasn't going to make my due dates and possibly fail but I gave it my all and made it. I rised like a flower from a storm and my own flower. Unique and I stood up for myself.   I'm glad I finished but now, its time to study for exams and get this school years finished up! I can do it! If i believe in myself, I can do it! 
I would also like to say, if it wasn't for my best friend who pushed and believed in me, I don't think I would have finished. Thanks for helping me rise up and reach my goals friend. 

Thanks for reading and feel free to comment.

       This sketch was inspired to me from a song called " Odd and Ends " By Hatsune Miku. Oddly enough, her music inspires me even though she may not be real. People make her music and those lyrics she sends just happen to be so inspiring oddly enough to me. She's quite the inspiration / role model. This song made me less stressful and believe that I can finish the rest of my units. This song is really amazing and a catchy song. I recommend you listen to it since its so awesome. 

Lyrics of the song in English:
You always have been laughed at
Unattached in all you do
In the end, descending into the rain.
"My favorite umbrella has been blown away." you say.
With appreciation for your efforts,
I've been treading upon that field.


As always, You are a Disliked person.
People KEEPing their disTANCE withOUT reason
EVEN though you put in MUCH effort.
Thinking "It must be for some reason or another.",
You're at loss and have fallen into sadness.

So it's fine to use my voice!
Not able to be understood by humans, A painful, terrible voice
Even if it's called such things,
I'll surely become your strength.
So let me sing and you'll see.
Yes, let me sing your very own words!

Compose and join them together
I'll cry out those words and feelings
Lay out your ideals,
I won't let anyone touch those feelings.
And then the voice being Odds & Ends will ring out.
Clumsily connecting the truth together.
Raising a loud voice with all my might.

For a while now, you've become a popular person
Praised by so many, I'm proud as well.

But since when have you changed like this?
Becoming so cold and lonely like this
Already there are so many mechanical voices
Being who I am.
In the end, you could not hold it back and begin to hate me.

Behind your back, someone said
"He's just acting big."
You were crying alone, weren't you?

Can you hear it?
This voice, I'm wiping those words away
I know the truth that you are more kind than anyone.

And then the voice of the Odds & Ends sang.
Not just for anyone, just for you.
A gentle squeak, crossing any boundary

Together we have thought of so many words to say, haven't we?
And yet, right now, a single word doesn't come to mind.
but still everything is understood
"I see, surely this is a dream.
Never waking up, coming to know you, that kind of dream."

The Odds & Ends keeps a smiling face like that.
No matter how much I call out, it still won't move

At your desired conclusion, crying and screaming.
It's a lie right? It's not true!
Yes, cry and scream

"I'm powerless."
I could not rescue even a single neglected item.
These feelings, through your tears,
Stain your cheeks one by one.

At that time, the world will change that color in a grand way
Sadness and happiness, all will be felt together as one.

When I begin to sing, the world will once again go around for your sake.
That voice entrusted with your intentions.
Right now, those feelings will ring out!

This sketch for me was inspired by music in general. Since its almost the last week of school with lots of units being handed in, I find that when ever i listen to music, it inspires me to keep on working hard or motivate me. It depends on they type of music. IF its a fast song, I'll work faster and go to the best of the fast song. An example is the 6 trillion years and overnight song. It has a really fast beat and motivates me to work faster. If the song is a slow song, I'm more likely to fall asleep or work slower since the song is slow. Music is amazing how i can motivate and inspire people. Music helps me get rid of stress and relax a bit more when I work. Music also helps me smile if I don't feel the best and its amazing how music is every where. You can really get away with it. It helps people like me for example and influences people for the good. 

Thanks for reading.

This sketch is based on a song Called "6 Trillion Years and One Night". The reason I was inspired to draw this sketch is because, this song mentions how the world is against two kids from the way their are born. The two kids eventually get away from the world and live happily but no one knows where they end up after they had disappeared. This concept is interesting plus the music is very unique compared to the other sons I've listend to lately. Its was interesting and got inspired to draw the girl from the video since I want to be like her. Fight against the world for your hapiness no matter what waves or obstacles come in my way. I want to be able to chase my dreams and succeed in them no matter the problem or obstacle. I know I will be able to become an animator if I believe in myself. No one can stop me from chesing that dream and this has also inspired to work more in the process. I would say in my opinion, its my new tune for the week.

Thanks for reading and the link for this song is down below.

These sketches were inspired by a song "I refuse" By Hatsune Miku. The reason why this song inspired me was because I can relate this song to life right now. Currently, as a ward student that's trying to hand in the last of my units so i can finish the coarse is pretty stressful. So much work happening, so much stress and not a lot of sleep unfortunately - u -;;;. Anyways, back to my point. I learned from this song that, so matter how stressing work may be, I shouldn't push it too much to work for example, sleep late every night. I need some rest every once in a while. There are just some days or times when I got to take a break and say No. Take a break to relax because I've worked hard for the past weeks before and now. Just say no too myself and refuse. The bottom left face the right page represents that. It represents to just say no and relax even if I have a butt load or work or worried about sleep. 

This song had also taught me, even if I can't finish all my tasks or work, at least I tried right? Things happen and I should continue working hard. This reminds of another song from Hatsune Miku, "Whatever: What ever happens in life, it happens and that song also inspired me to sketch the expressions ion the right.

Thanks for reading this entry and feel free to comment as usual.

                          My Love for Video Games:

This drawing that drawing inspired my love for video games every since I was a 4 years-old. 

The love of video games all started when my father handed me a controller. A Nintendo 64 controller in particular. It was a change of a life time. I never knew this at the time but anyways, after I player super Mario world on the SNES, my world changed and I had played many games with my sister. We loved playing and would get the newest games form the Mario series for example or new interesting games to us. My sister always taught me to take care of the console or controller. That's one of the memories I remembered when playing with my sister when I was young. 

This love for video games can relate to the theme of cartography also is for many reasons. Video games were like an adventure and video games drew my life in a sense. Video Games either taught you lessons to learn and helped me be who I am today. Even though the characters in the game weren't real, they were either a role model or someone amazing you could relate to. They were inspiring for example, Link from legend of Zelda. He has bravery like no one else. He fights many monsters and goblins to save the world / princess of Hyrule. This makes me want to be a better person and a braver person since the game showed how one person can make a big difference from a single trait, Bravery. That's all you need. No matter how dark the path of life is, you can be your own light and make it though the dark cave to the ending or find a reward waiting for you.
