"this other one is for my friend, who passed away" by Isidro Zapata

I really, do not know where
To beginI feel so lost and unable
To understand
All of life’s hurts and pains
the circle of life and death
As we mourn the lost
Of a good friend, husband, brother, and father
Around the other side or just four hours away
A happy couple is celebrating the
Birth of a baby boy or girl
To the family:
I truly wish I could have done more
So I hope you can forgive me
I did not know that he was
Going down the road of despair
Throughout my life I have been to many of these
Solemn occasions
lost a good friend or a family member
Which makes me feel even more alone in this
Upside world that we live in
I know how it feels the pain and feeling
Like you are no good to anyone because
the lost of our physical ability is not what it use to be
I wonder at times where did that other me
Has gone to and I hope that someday he comes back home
he has been gone for way to long
So come back home my friend
You will continue to live on forever
Not just in the next life but in this life
When you showed your children lessons to live by
You showed them love and tenderness to your whole family
You were in a lot of pain, I know that path
it is a path of wrath and set on replay because it keeps on repeating
I really respected you in how you handle this path
You gave me hope that I could have a normal ife!!
Just want to tell you thank you, like so many of us
You got lost and unable to find your own way out
as we mourn you leaving this world
There is a celebration in the next world
Because you are finally home
We will all miss you some days will be harder for your family
Because you are no longer their
so just whisper to them that
You truly love them and U care for them
For those who are left behind
I know it is really hard
And feelings like you are all alone Is just to common
In a flash our Savior Can easily transform your heart
because our father does it want you to be in pain
God wants
To guide you and show you the path
To take
so keep up the faith
I know some day you will be reunited
With your loved ones

"Playing this Game" by Isidro Zapata

As we sit across from each other the room is filled with
Lies that we
Keep telling each other
Y do we keep
playing this
Game when we
Both know that
I have already
Lost U
Is it because
Neither of us
is brave
Enough to take
That last step
and our lives
Will never be the
Same again
I remember that very day
when I look into your
eye's
and all I could
see was
a stranger
Looking back at me
When U Speak
I go deaf
& your love
turn to hate
I just do not know
where to turn
then you spoke
to the both of us
so we
Look up and
let you restore
our love for one another
Your cold heart starts to melt
my ear opens up
now we are
on a new path
laid before us in the book
we are so thankful that
the both of us
got a second chance
due to the
one from above
who help us remember
the taste of our love
so thank you
Lord for your saving grace

Blanco House

My cousin asked me to design a house for them of this floor plan.

Here is how the exterior looks.

The second project is the Blanco Home. When my cousin saw that I am learning Revit, seeing my rendering, she wanted me to help her design her future home. This folder has a few things that I have done for the house. These pictures show the Master Bedroom. Since the square footage is not set, I asked the client what they wanted. They indicated that they would like their master bed room to be about 250 square feet, and the entire house to be about 3000 square feet. This is why I am started with the Master bedroom. The design of the bedroom is inspired by my cousin’s Pinterest board. She said that she has been putting together ideas for more than 5 years. A lot of the inspiration of the design of the room is from the Master bedroom Pinterest board. I put the sliding glass window in because it seems that she likes a lot of natural light in the room from the pictures in the board. Another picture shows me practicing putting decal in the picture frames. I got this bed from Revit City to show my cousin the possibilities. My cousin really liked the fireplace. She provided me the floor plan, and the colored area is the master bedroom. I am guessing that the house will me much bigger than 3000 square feet, since the bedroom is 250. I put trim around the top, bottom, and skylight, which I designed. The trim and the skylight is the latest additions to the master bedroom of the cousin.

Framing a House

The third project is the pictures of my work in my framing systems Construction 120 class. We built a miniature house. I played an active role in the building of the entire house from the foundation work to the framing, the sheathing, and roofing.

TI of a Warehouse

The first is the project that I was taught the program of Revit on in ARCH 190. I designed the Tenant Improvement according to customers’ requests. An rendering is provided for both the warehouse and the TI, and a couple PDFs of my building plan making skills is in this folder too called 190 Warehouse and TI.

Here is the foundation plan of the warehouse that we built.
