Hellooo beautiful week! The skies are grey, the Holiday Market is being set up at Union Square (I can’t wait to take some amazing photos this year), and exams and interviews are coming soon. *giddy* This week’s Monday inspiration kind of reflects our NYC weather and vibe: soft light, twinkling details, old world & classic. That’sContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 17, 2014”

Friday Glee: November 14, 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz Baby, it’s cold outside! Full-blown winter out here. And for some reason, the light rain and four-degree wind chill (I exaggerate…) with the twinkling lights makes us feel that life is like a Christmas jewelry commercial (with background music and all). New York City just has that vibe. It doesn’t always have that vibe. OnlyContinue reading “Friday Glee: November 14, 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”
TKOs and Success
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this video, and I had to share. I was super inspired by it. I love the fact that boxing is a huge theme in the video. Boxing is analogous to life; there is struggle; there is pain; there is discipline; there are choices, and there is potential victory. So, if you are down for motivation and fantasticContinue reading “TKOs and Success”
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”
Friday Glee: October 17, 2014
You must be prepared to work always without applause. Ernest Hemingway I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature. Friedrich Nietzsche God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘IContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 17, 2014”
Epiphanies (with a tissue in hand)
By: Gabriela Yareliz The internet is about to be down for a couple of hours. (Shall we resume the discussion on first-world problems?) Today, I realized: 1) Being sick always brings me epiphanies. Is it the delirious feeling, the loss of fluids or the medication? 2) The key is finding contentment even when you are exhausted beyondContinue reading “Epiphanies (with a tissue in hand)”
Hero
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we discourage people even though we mean well. Often, we can’t see when people are really unhappy because all we see is what we want for them. We keep pushing them out of love, not out of malice, because we think we know what is best. I heard Wilson Wilson Jr. tell Tim Taylor a quote: “You don’tContinue reading “Hero”
