Critical Film Review
It's about a man who quits his house to tear down his old worn out house and then to rebuild it into his dream house. What he ends up doing is also opening the eyes of his family and neighbors.
This movie had more of a dark humorous tone to it. It's a bit clique but it's not to the extreme. Most of the main and background characters are clique. For example, the son is a troubled teen because his parents are divorced at the fault of the dad for being so focused on his job rather than the family. The mom was so sick and tired of living in that run-down house that she left the husband for a richer one. The neighbors are all just as troubled as the main family of this movie.
When I had first originally started watching this film, I didn't like how cheesy it was starting off. I did like the dark humor and risks they used for the movie. Later after the film had progressed, I had started to enjoy the story line along with the characters. The combination of it all made it seem like any other clique film but also made it seem more unique. I give it a thumbs up with a high recommendation for the film. My rating would be a 8 out of 10.

Perseverance
I've had set short term goals throughout my life and so far I've either have accomplished them or given up on them. I've thought about setting up some long term goals before. Some I think I could accomplish them with time and work and others will take a life time of dedication. Nothing is ever easy so setting up marks in your life will even out the hardship that would have to be put into course for said goals in life to occur.
A goal I have so far is that I want to be able to be fluent to at least 5 languages before turning 30. I plan to achieve this by taking some courses and asking people that are native to those languages. It's like having a personal tutor while taking the class. This would help me speed up my learning process.
Another goal I've set out for myself was to open up a successful restaurant. I'll need to plan everything out before even thinking on starting a business. Starting off with what the plating will be to the employees. I'll need to know what my financial goals will be at the time and how much money I could spend to start it off.
Grocery List: milk, apples, bread, chips, juice, mustard, candy, butter, bananas, pasta

I played Trick or type, keyboard revolution, and spacebar invaders. Trick or type was my favorite because of how it went at my pace and it was words not just letters.

My Top Three Horror Television Shows
1. The Twilight Zone
This show was one of the first shows I could remember watching when I was little. It's a classical horror show with a psychological effect to it. There is always a twist at the end of the episodes that makes you think differently about something. There hasn't been an episode in my opinion without that effect. My favorite episode is The Eye of the Beholder.
2. Dexter
This is also a psychological show about a guy that everyone thought was normal yet he wasn't quite so. I like how this show makes you contradict with yourself about how you'll think you know someone but in reality no one really knows each other. I also like how the main character gets away with murder every single time and doesn't get caught, but if he does, it's a twist at the end.
3. The Strain
What I like about this show is how their version of the "first vampire" came to happen. It all started with a "virus" and it changes the genetic make-up of the humans. I love how it makes the human race seem less superior when we're the pray. It's a show that happens during the "end of human kind" and develops how the very few have save it and I like to this how accurate it is to me.

Bucket List
1. To become fluent in French- I had taken a few courses in French but I never really learned the language so now I want to master it. I really want to try this time on learning the language and being able to say that I can speak three languages.
2. Visit the Seven Wonders of the Modern World- I have always wanted to see them since I was little. A family friend had told me they have visited all seven with pictures to show me.
3. Open a restaurant- I have a passion for culinary and so I want to open up a place with my own touch to it.
4. Go backpacking through Europe- I've had a goal to visit as many countries as I can in Europe.
5. Go sky diving- My fear of heights has always bothered me and I think this would take the fear away.

My Favorite Hobby
I'll have to say that my favorite hobby would be looking up old classical horror films or stories. I use to watch them all the time with a friend before he had moved away and we use to stay up for hours watching some on the internet. I like them mostly for how clique they are and how original they were at the time. They're still entertaining to some people to this day, in my opinion.
One of my all time favorite movie was And Then There Were None, considering it was just like the book. The author, Agatha Christie, has written a wide selection of horror stories but this one was my all time favorite. I had liked the actors that were selected for the roles because of how much they were alike in the book.
My favorite Show was The Twilight Zone, for it's creative stories and episodes. It was always so twisted and in some way a truth to human nature. This show was running on for so long and was what first got my interest in the dark horror when I was a kid. I use to watch it with my babysitters and my family.

Being Charitable
The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention is a non-profit organization that was founded to help prevent people from such acts of suicidal thoughts. They also do a foundation of research to understand the cause of why people would commit such horrendous acts against their very own being. The main goal is to reach out and save them from their own little darkness they had created in their hopeless mind. An educational system was created to help anyone from young to the elderly get informed of such warnings and prevention. This organization has been so dedicated to this cause since 1987 and still going to this day.
I think this charity is a big help to many communities and especially the young. With our changing society, the new is still a big change that many people want no part of and are restricting it on the ones who do want the change, thus causing people to feel so left out and out of place. They'll just want to be gone for good without even knowing that there is help for them. Our society has became move accepting of the new trends and what not but the older generation is still not wiling to accepting of the changes that they're reinforce in onto their children without even thinking if it'll even effect their mental health. It's not just going to be one kid they'll get the idea of suicide. It's more of a domino effect to be more.
From my own experience that I have first seen about this was at school. You'll think this is all non-existent until it happens. There is and always will be time to prevent this. It's never "too late" or "they're too far gone" because how would you like it if the person you care about so deeply had already given up on you? That alone would make the person believe that there is no real reason anymore to live on. In other words, I do support this idea and cause of the organization. It has been a deep conflict among the community on whether this should be supported or if the people are just doing it for attention.

About Me
My name is Melissa Chavez. I live in Costa Mesa. I only have one pet which is a cat. I had transferred to Newport Harbor from Estancia my Junior year and half of Senior year. I am a Senior at Back Bay now trying to graduate. My favorite color is blue and grey. I can't make up my mind on either of those two colors.
Another things that like to do is take pictures. I usually go out and take pictures of places that I had visited. Also of family and friends, to remember the moments that had happened. I personally don't like taking pictures of myself but I don't mind if it's with my friends or family.
I don't really have a favorite food but in general, I like Italian or Chinese food. A thing that I had discovered this year was that, I liked cooking and baking. I had taken some classes at Newport Harbor for their ROP culinary program. I work at my Aunt’s bakery every once in awhile when I have the time.
