Media Autobiography

  • Books: I read a lot of books during my childhood and spent a lot of time in the library during middle and elementary school waiting for a ride home. My favorite books are from Mark Twain and Emily Dickinson. The last book I read is called "Everything Bad Is Good For You" by Steven Johnson.
  • Newspapers: I also had a lot of time with newspapers. My dad has a masters in journalism. Before my dad taught college students, he was a journalist and traveled the world writing for the paper he wrote for. I would always read his articles and he taught me how to write.  He wrote for the Filipino Star in the Philippines and then taught at San Jose State shortly after.
  • Magazines: I don't read a lot of magazines. The only magazines I read are Motor Trend and ESPN The Magazine. 
  • Movies: Before I worked I used to watch many movies over the years. I like to watch movies that have deep story lines and movies that make people laugh. The last two movies I watched is the "A-Team" and "Despicable Me".
  • Recordings: I listen to music a lot. This is probably where I spent my time the most. Music calms me down and keeps me concentrated. I like to listen to any type of music as long as it is not country. (I can't stand country music.. I hope I don't offend anybody!)
  • Radio: Radio is also another type of media I spend my time on. When I am not using my Ipod to listen to music I use the radio to listen to local radio stations and also get traffic, weather, and sports updates when I am driving to work or school as well.
  • Television: Like Radio and Recordings this is another media that i spend my time on. I like to watch sports and TV shows like South Park and Family Guy. I also watch the news and weather as well.
  • Internet: Another media that I spend my time on. I use this type of media for basically everything. I use it for news, sports, games, YouTube, maps, class registrations, etc.

    Music is the SAME way for me! It is the catalyst for so many emotions that I have!
