Blizzard Badinage

By: Gabriela Yareliz “What is something married couples and families do not have as much of, compared to college students?” asked my professor. “Friends,” said the kid in front of me. The class whispered some giggles. I started out the day in Family Law. Apparently, being a law student is like working for the postal service;Continue reading “Blizzard Badinage”

Monday Inspiration: January 19, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello Monday, and happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! As I am writing this, it is Sunday, and I am up in the sky flying back to the Big Apple. Freezing rain is pelting down the city that is waiting for me. Oh New York! A city God’s providence has taken me to,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 19, 2015”

Winter Ambles

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am going to be taking a break from the city soon. I am going to drain Fifth Avenue from my veins for a bit. Going home is a detox. Slowly, I stop wearing black structured clothes, pretentious city makeup, and I breathe a little more deeply; my adrenaline levels become normal;Continue reading “Winter Ambles”

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”

Hopeless Wanderer: Village Edition

By: Gabriela Yareliz My favorite days are the ones where I wander around with my camera, observing and memorializing fleeting moments of loveliness and detail. “To photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.” Henri Cartier-Bresson Below are some of my snapshots from my neighborhood: Greenwich Village. Ready? Here’s some fantasticContinue reading “Hopeless Wanderer: Village 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”
