By: Gabriela Yareliz We meet again… it is hot outside. Let me rephrase: HOT. The best thing about a car with no AC is the fact that the open window suffices to blow you away. I look like some random gypsy today with a scarf around my head–I think I scared the Subway guy. Poor fellow.Continue reading “Unknown”

The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality
By: Gabriela Gonzalez Why is it that things like pleasure, beauty and art end up leaving us empty and guilty? I found a fascinating book/play on the topic. It is a short play, a fictional conversation between Oscar Wilde, known for his if it feels good, do it philosophy; Blaise Pascal, the brilliant mathematician, andContinue reading “The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality”

Our greatest downfall
By: Gabriela Yareliz Based on Pastor Alejandro Bullon’s message at the Spanish Florida Campmeeting 2012. When looking at other people, we will often point out… hmm that person is a thief or a murderer. This is how we scale evil and wrong in society. It is all by actions that we can point out wrongs. Now ifContinue reading “Our greatest downfall”

Pool & Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
By: Gabriela Yareliz “I feel socially pressured to know about pool.” -Priscilla to me as we sat after getting our cap and gowns in the game room; as we watched Changmin duke it out with the nice guy with brown hair. She read my mind exactly. After this social pressure, Bhargava was gracious enough to enlightenContinue reading “Pool & Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”
My failed interviews
By: Gabriela Yareliz Last day of class folks. Yup. People are marching into the 24-hour libraries with pillows under their arms. I am not kidding. I thought I would take a moment today, it being the last day of class and everything, to explain my plight as a journalist these past three years interviewing peopleContinue reading “My failed interviews”
Smooth Sailing
“She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.” ― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway By: Gabriela Yareliz This book is probably the weirdest one that has madeContinue reading “Smooth Sailing”
Final Days
By: Gabriela Yareliz No time to sleep. No time to brush your hair. No time to do laundry. No time. It is that time; end of the semester. Teachers’ demands reach their highest level of impossibility (wink) and they ask for what seems impossible, and we, the students, look sleep deprived and zombie-esque. Sad story. A girlContinue reading “Final Days”

Here are some clips of the top, brilliant candidates (they all are in one way or another).
