By: Gabriela Yareliz November, November, November. You have given me unexpected gifts, and for that I am grateful. I was pressing some little purple flowers in a book, and I thought, it’s funny how something so temporary, like a flower, can have its beauty preserved, even after it’s lifeless. I once had a discussion with a friend who said there wasContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: November 2014”

A Wednesday Unlike Any Other
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today was brutally FANTASTIC. It was a day where lawyering was done in an emotional and deep way. There is something just magical about spilling hope out with honesty. It falls silently and heavy. Today, I heard my voice loud and clear, and it was a gentle reminder that along this crazy journeyContinue reading “A Wednesday Unlike Any Other”
My Mistake on: What Every “Godly” Girl Wants in a Man
By: Gabriela Yareliz So, I reblogged a post yesterday that I read, and I honestly think I read it thinking it was saying what I wanted it to say (it’s like being a bad listener, except this is being a bad reader). But after rereading it and thinking about it and discussing it, I realizedContinue reading “My Mistake on: What Every “Godly” Girl Wants in a Man”
Monday Inspiration: November 10, 2014
Soundtrack: By: Gabriela Yareliz Today my professor lifted the seating chart and pointed at a blue ink blot and said, “That is where I wept.” Didn’t we all (because of his class). Ha. Happy Monday! The people asking for petition signatures were out; the ones that ask “Do you want to know what’s in yourContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 10, 2014”
#SundayBoss: November 9, 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is it really too early for Christmas music? Ha. There is quite the debate out there (Buzzfeed). Soon, we’ll be hearing John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas” (War is Over), the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas Canon Rock, and that Christmas Shoes song that I listen to insensitively all season, and then finally, there is one time that I listen to it where IContinue reading “#SundayBoss: November 9, 2014”
Monday Inspiration: November 3, 2014 (Farkle Edition)
[Meet the hilarious, intelligent and flirty Farkle Minkus from Girl Meets World. Turns out there is a lot you can do with pen and paper. Some of the things we do with these two simple objects are what makes some of us feel the most alive.] Goal for the week: Let’s take out the headphones,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 3, 2014 (Farkle Edition)”
Sunday Girl
Soundtrack: “In my mind, it’s Sunday all the time.” By: Gabriela Yareliz So, my dream of a rainy [omitted: humid] November came true, except for the humid part, which was part of the request. Yesterday, rain drops pelted us like bullets. Cold, stinging rain. I guess you can’t have it all. (Grin). November is here, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl”
This Month’s Picks: October 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz That’s it. October is out with a bang! And November is being swept in by a cold gust of wind (and not the weird Pharrell ‘you-remind-me-of-the-air’-“Gust of wind” song). Here is my compilation of fun things I found throughout the month, as usual. There are a few of my favorite things sprinkled below:Continue reading “This Month’s Picks: October 2014”
Proctors & Wallpaper
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today was the dreaded corporate accounting exam in various law schools in the city, apparently. It is hilarious when you go into an exam nervous, because the proctors usually make the nerves evaporate in the 15 minutes of prep time prior to the exam. The proctors are hilarious– unintentionally, of course. There is alwaysContinue reading “Proctors & Wallpaper”
Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014
[Look at the week with the confidence of Inspector Clouseau.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, hello! Last week of October. We’ve survived. We made it. It’s been a sniffley, sleep-deprived, couple of weeks. I just finished a project on international law and torture. I was confirming the spelling of a terrorist group, and I felt nervous whileContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014”
