operation yoga: week one
in my attempt to not be entirely irrelevant, i’ve decided to take up yoga. for a year now, and due to doctor’s request, i have stopped working out because of my chronic headaches. “it’s strenuous activity,” she said to me peering through those wired spectacles, “and god knows anything at this point is triggering them.” and so there i was, trotting through...

team (NOT) twilight
for months now, i have consistently hated on this ga-ga series of twilight. while juvenile girls split their britches over the red-lipped heart throb that is edward cullen, and while the same aforementioned girls idolized the fidgety, anti-social girl that is bella swan—i consumed massive amounts of HATE-orade. when i first heard about the series, i remember reading a paragraph out of the...
Yesterday was quite the eventful day at work. While the skies poured a violent rain upon a frazzled world of Southern California, I smiled smugly to myself, accepting the fact that California isn’t the tropical paradise it’s made itself out to be. I find it funny that so many Californians are freaking out over a week-long rainstorm when, in fact, rain is quite abundant throughout the...
LET IT POUR
as a kid i used to prance around in circles uttering made-up chants in hopes that the rain gods would pour down their heavenly drops. i would slip on my indian raincoat and place a single feather in my hair, because somehow it made sense that the more i resembled those indigenous indians, the more my selfish invocations would be heard.
“do you know where the rain comes from?” his...

MICHAEL, YOU HAVE MY HEART.
if there’s anyone even worth mentioning who has changed the (DATING) game in drastic ways, it is none other than Michael freaking Cera. any girl will admit that if this lanky white boy were awkwardly standing on the streets of hollywood and vine in his ubiquitous red hoodie and vans sneakers, she wouldn’t bat a single lash. but after starring in movies such as juno, nick and...
DIVA IS A FEMALE VERSION OF A HUSSLA.
after reading one of my final seminar papers from last semester, i suddenly realized that i sound very beyonce-esque in my writing. although i may not appear to be as bad ass as that diva-fied, curvalicious beyonce knowles nor do i know how to shake my (independent) rump as skillfully as she does, my writing might just speak for itself.
an excerpt from my seminar paper:
Loy and Woolf’s...
MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH MUCINEX
Dear Corporate America,
I am proud to say that as an avid consumer of your multifarious products, I have fallen in love. Now before you promptly crumple this letter, simply dismissing it as a waste of your corporate time, please spare me a moment.
As you know, this is the time of the year when the American people become inoculated with various cold symptoms and sometimes even the flu. As a...
