Comment on Gary Xu’s proposal


Hey Gary,
I believe you have chosen an interesting topic to blog, as I personally am a huge fan of the Marvel comic books and films. I cant wait to read what kind of interesting ideas, reviews, theories and Easter eggs you noticed in the movies. This will help give a different outlook on the films, in your own words. I also like the idea of you looking at different civilisations, cultures, and cultural complexity of racism, which inspire and drive stories such as Black Panther for your theories.It relates to our contemporary world. For a personal suggestion,I feel that you could touch on other worldly matter, such as the questions of security and privacy in Captain America: Civil War, and also the ethics and morality into what drives superheroes, correlating with how we make decisions in everyday life. Awesome work Gary! Cant wait.


Comment on Anthony Burtenshaws proposal

Hey Anthony,

I agree with Christine's comment. Your website/blog has quite the unique design and I love how you have incorporated your painting into the background. The end result, Im sure will be awesome. I also relate to your creativity and art because I myself am a musician.The creation process is very similar through precious hours of endless thoughts, colours, and time-management. I encourage you to take note of people, to enhance your weakness in your painting. However, you can draw people (or the woman in your artwork) in what your mind and heart sees. Art cannot be marked, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and this is your canvas. Splash onto it, whatever you desire, and im sure all the bloggers checking out your website will love it too. Awesome work Anthony! Stay blessed. 

Comment on Christine Fifita proposal

Hey Christine,
I am definitely keen on hearing your personal experiences of the “reignited passion” you’ve found for wanting to become a flight attendant. Many of us young people find it difficult to put our finger on one career we want to pursue. Especially when we have parents (more specifically our Pacific parents lol), that think university is the only way to go through to get your qualifications or the “ticket that gets you a job anywhere”. However, that is not entirely true because there are other courses available and also the specific career you are looking into, will literally get you flying around the globe, if successful as a flight attendant. This blog, I feel could also be a real eye opener for any readers (or even your parents whom may or may not have any knowledge about why you would like to get into such a career pathway) who want information.
Good luck and happy blogging!

Week 3: Confessions of a broke rapper

I saw a Facebook post the other day, the author shared a screen shot of a musician boasting about their worldly possessions. He commented that people shouldn't make a public post on social media every time they make money, just get on with the rewards of their hard work, and be quiet with it.  He must see a lot of it or something, because that post triggered him to write in caps lock. I understood what he meant. I know of a couple people who post about making "money moves", but they honestly do it for the gram. You know the ones, depending off of government benefits? Or the one who think that their financial status will reflect their social status amongst friends and families? Their image is so important, they use making money as a means to "flex" or a way to get back at people whom did them wrong in the past. Growing up in a pacific island household and surrounded by Polynesians for majority of my life, Ive noted that Money is a blessing and curs...

Week 4: Open Mic Night

WEEK 4: Open Mic Night 🎤   This was the week I was both excited and scared about. Performing is something that I have done all throughout primary school, college and also for gigs. However at this point, it had been a few months since the last time I performed and I was nervous about not being able to impress people at the Otara music arts centres open mic nights, hosted by one of my rap idols, King Kapisi.  The hall was dimly lit. I signed my life away on the performers list. Then, As I began rapping, I was soaking in all the nerves and gave what I thought was my heart, on the microphone. When I performed I was considering my next three steps, beside the limited time to get out a clear message. I also have to be ready in case I forget my lyrics, and then how I will quickly adapt to overcome and fix the changes, in case I may need to freestyle. The first song I performed was a Son of Polynesia. This was where I was most nervous as this was the openi...

Mid reflection post

So far for my brief two portfolio assessment, I have been posting weekly blogs about certain aspects and inspirations that is helping shape my music project, A Son of Polynesia EP. I currently have posted five blogs on Blogger.com, with week one speaking about not expecting hand outs on brand promotion or support from fellow artists. Week two, on Taika Waititi's comments on racism in New-Zealand and other kiwi rappers whom inspired me to write and release my intro track, A Son of Polynesia. Week three, touched on the egotistic persona some people put on social media, when they have money and how that pushed me to speak on the effects its had on my family,friends, and the pacific community, composing the second track on my EP, Confessions of a broke rapper. My nervous experience at an open mic night in my week four posting and finally week five, what inspired me to write track number three of the EP, Live life. I have been discussing with my mentors and fellow students in my music...
