Warm New Orleans Afternooon
By: Gabriela Yareliz Last week was mild in New York City. It was filled with overcast skies and warm rain. A classic man in a Stetson hat offered me his umbrella on one of the rainy days. He said he couldn’t stand to watch my beautiful hair get wet. It was a fresh blow dryContinue reading “Warm New Orleans Afternooon”
Reflections Before Bedtime #51
By: Gabriela Yareliz Delilah just played “This Gift” by 98 Degrees. Nick Lachey greatness. I have realized that the more I live, the less I understand about how some things in life turn out. [Speaking of understanding, does anyone understand this album cover?] Some questions include: Why does it sound like only older white peopleContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #51”

Douce France
By: Gabriela Yareliz Tonight at church, we had an amazing spoken word and music night.

#PremIsBack
By: Gabriela Yareliz #PremIsBack, and I am excited. I just wanted to show Salman Khan some love. He seems to be getting better with age.

Happy Week: November 8, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz A new week begins, again.The pharmacy looks like a Christmas wonderland. I was walking through Little Italy, and there are already ‘Merry Christmas’ light banners shimmering in the night above the streets. Still no sign of eggnog, anywhere.

By: Gabriela Yareliz May. It’s over. I can’t believe it. Law school. It’s over. I can’t believe it. This month was so hardcore. So many emotions. It’s an end. It’s a beginning. This month, I lost a friend and mentor to cancer. That was very tough and unexpected. Some unexpected things were bad, other unexpected thingsContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: May 2015”
