Psychological appeal

I thought that this ad funny. What it says here is that if you do not use Gain to get your clothes clean then they would smell like a sweaty man. It uses comedy to get it's point across because humor is usually the best route to take. The ad makes it seem that Gain is the only detergent that will get your clothes clean. If you do not have any clean clothes then you'd go to the gym naked.  

theological appeal

I found this ad on the internet. I found this ad disturbing. Christians have been doing this for years. Clamming that they where more civilized than the native population. Also in this ad it appeals to people sense of duty to god I think. I tells you that if you back Muslims than you are savage just like them.If you support Muslims than you are an anti-Semite. Instead of saying Muslims they use the word Jihad. The word Jihad brings up memory's of 9/11 for the American people.    

 For the political appeals I found an ad by Elizabeth Warren. the ad was "Kids like me." In the ad she talks about how her family had to struggle just to stay in the "middle class." She talks about how GE pays no tax. I looked it up on factcheck.org and GE does pay taxes.
 When she talks about how college students are in debt I think that she was trying to reach out to those people who are still trying to pay off the students loan. She comes across as a regular person with the same needs and whats as a "middle" class person might feel. she does this by showing old photos of herself and her family.  http://bcove.me/qg140v38

in delivery room & NICU

Aunt Lala took these photos. I love 'em!


this is right when Fila was born. I was, unfortunately, not there because I was still getting my c-section.

1 week pictures

These are Fila's 1 week old photos. My favorite is with Kimi holding him and Fila's lips are all poochy.
At this time, Fila now weighs 9 lbs 5 oz!!! What a growing, big boy he is!

October 16, 2009 @ 5:10 p.m. Fila is 1 minute old and Kimi is so happy to finally have his son here.Fila is 2 days old. This is the first time I was able to see him. I thought he was so cute!
Fila sleeping in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). He was receiving antibiotics because I had a fever right before he was born so they gave him antibiotics to prevent any infections I may have had that was causing my fever.

Fila has finally arrived!!
full name: Penisimani Hofila Tuipulotu
Born on: October 16, 2009 @ 5:10 p.m.
weighing 8 lbs 12 oz
length: 22 inches long
head diameter: 38 centimeters

Kimi and I are so happy to have Fila here. Although I'm very tired, I am feeling better each day and enjoy getting to know my son. The full effect (of being a mom) hasn't really hit me, yet.

A brief look

My friend hooked me up with some 3D pics of the baby. It will be interesting to see if he even looks like these pictures. The ultrasonographer said that sometimes things look bigger than they really are. We got clear confirmation that our baby is a boy. The genitals were in 3D and quite clear. Kimi keeps mentioning how he just wants the baby to be here already. A couple of weeks ago we received a lot of cool baby items from my friend, Blaire. We set up the playpen, basinette thingy and now time seems to be going so much slower. At least 3-4 times a week, Kimi & I are telling each other we should just take that stuff down because it's making things go so much slower. I'm 27 weeks and only have a couple more months, but it's going pretty slow, now.
