I teared up as Ron, Hermione, and Harry (Rupert, Emma, and Daniel) reminisced on how they grew up on the Harry Potter set and infiltrated our cinemas and culture as we laypeople grew up alongside them. They spoke of a strong love and bond that could have only existed from their specific experience. I sunk […]
Dusk before dawn
TearsI silently yelped into my blanket crying. Mom flew back to Texas after coming to DC for the Holidays. I was already missing her presence. I was also crying with gratitude. The New Year sparked a reflection over my stroke and following recovery. I stared at my pushchair/wheelchair that I previously used to depend on […]

Tuesday Food for Thought
For the past two weeks I have been waking up around 5:30 am. I do yoga and/or a more high impact workout, shower and hit the books. I did it to improve my time management, health and to hopefully improve my academics. The former two definitely improved, but the latter needed some tweaking. Sigh, why […]

Yes. Love does win.
Yes, I am fantastically happy that love prevailed today, but I am also reminded that there is still much to do.

Dirty Chai Lattes and the Creep Factor of the Internet
Yes, this is a true story. I am not making this up. I repeat I did not make this up! Today, I was studying in a Houston coffee shop whilst reading Buzzfeed to further procrastinate my studies when I came upon an article from Buzzfeed about a local man who happened to drop 125 pounds […]
BARACK OFFICIALLY HAS TWITTER!
Yes, POTUS himself now has a twitter that isn’t run by his staff….I think. Six years in he’s finally fully on “IDGAFudge” mode. Here’s to hoping he has some funny tweets. Welcome to the interwebs Mr. President! Now, let’s see if I can get into this Twitter thang since I never use mine after like […]
