“Is she your only daughter? Ms. Vargas asked. Why would she think I’m an only child? Lisa thought. Now, she had regrets seeing how distressed her mom was having to tell her previous classmates that she already has six kids. “No.” “I think she’s smart enough to meet this school’s high standards,” Lisa felt a lump in her throat upon hearing ‘smart’. “She’s

“What did I miss while I was away?” “Yasser was talking about his cats.” “Really? He has cats?” “Yeah, I have six,” a deep yet cheery voice interrupted our chat. “Oh..that’s a lot.” “What breed are they?” another voice asked. The ‘cat talk’ deepened but my eyes had started straying around the hotel’s interior, from

Near or far, you catch me breathless, From a distance, you’re so blue and oh, so endless, As I sit next to you, I’m cuddled with peace, Yet your waves could often be such playful beasts.

“Wow, Ever (Gotesco Mall)!” a four-year old girl gushed as her eyes sparkled widely (wildly). They were about to board Princess Paradise, a ship mistaken for a shopping mall by Lisa’s fifth sister.

She keeps as many friends as she could. She

It’s amusing how thoughtful google could get. Reminiscing birthdays of famous creators such as Antoine de Saint-Exupery, (the Little Prince) is a truly sweet act. Wiki says his book is second most popular to the bible (#1), upon its release. Whoever has read the book would always think the credits are rightfully given. The exuding

The most notorious, perhaps the most powerful group ever to invade the world of manga, Genei Ryodan deserves a huge fandom for the character profiles alone.

Watching ‘House’ annihilates the before-bedtime drama I used to habitually conceive. It’s neither a calming capsule nor a sleeping pill. (Perhaps an ecstasy? But, not.) Though symptoms like turned-up hair ends, and highly activated senses (except for taste and smell) appear, House is never a drug to fear, none the less a fatal virus, just

To heed the call of the Wild was the only way to survive. Buck struggled to learn life lessons in an undomiscated, severe, savage environment far from his previous master’s peaceful, and prosperous villa after he was stolen and sold to a group of men carrying couriers to and from the chilly North. It was indeed tough to
