civil liberties v. national security →
rant about work related stuff (but it’s important and pretty interesting!!) it’s become a huge issue, and this article was sent in to my work inbox today.. this is really sensitive stuff, and ultimately, i’m not even sure which one i’d choose to protect. in new york and around the area, Muslim students are being monitored by the NYPD. authorities are conducting intelligence...
crowd pleasers
Not the biggest fan of electro/house/dubstep (in fact, i don’t know the different between them, so sorry in advance if you know this stuff inside out and i sound like a huge ignoramus) BUT I’m warming up to it! Since the summer, being around people that listened to this stuff made me more open to it, and some friends and I recently went to a Gareth Emery and Steve Aoki concert at a...
LINsanity -- you tired of it yet? →
For those that are tired of hearing Jeremy Lin’s name, please read this CNN article on why this hype is not overrated or overpublicized. It’s not just someone’s last name being inserted into clever little phrases that are virally circulating through social networks, but is a revolutionary story and win for minority communities. Race matters, and this story is a testament to its...

I’m Filipino, so it comes as no surprise that I support Manny Pacquiao. Putting that aside and looking at this as a student of politics and communication, this is pure genius. Mayweather’s idiotic taunting via twitter and use of “48 hours” to solidify the May 5 fight (not to mention only months before it is scheduled..) is some bullshit. How long has Pacquiao publicly...
invisible efforts
Sooo.. I’m going to try and start documenting some of this DC experience via tumblr. It started snowing today during my lunch break, and it was a soft flurry rather than an aggressive storm. It was chilly but the flakes were light, which was greaaaat since my coats didn’t arrive until after I returned from work. The past week in DC has been a whirlwind, considering I had inconveniences...

Fortune
shivanithacker:
While it’s true that some people create their own fortunes, I feel I have been fortunate to have been given the people in my life. I cannot describe how happy I am with the relationships that I’ve formed. Not a moment goes by with these people where I am not reminded of how lucky I am to have been brought to them. Each additional moment I spend with them only solidifies my love...

in the midst of all this turmoil
i have a feeling that everything is working out for the better. midterms are hectic, i’m in the middle of moving, applications are in, i’ve got a wedding to help prepare for, and i’m two months from moving across country for a quarter (to name a few). i’m not complaining at all, new things are exciting to me and having more to do somehow keeps me on track. everyone has...
so happy with life right now! i could still be in las vegas and going to an all you can eat seafood buffet with my family tonight but school always gets in the way… this weekend i brought my best frand/sister jackie with my family to las vegas, where we threw a party for my brother’s 28th birthday (old!)… let me tell you, spoons is one dangerous but fun card game. my cousin...

good company is irreplaceable. whether amongst a serene environment, amidst the darkest of times, or even through the most awkward situations, whatever life throws at you can be made invaluable by the people that accompany you through any moment or experience. this has been my summer, the past few weeks/weekends, and should characterize next weekend as well. hell, this describes my life, and...
