Dear Amanda, while Yellowface by R. F.

My main issue with this novel is the casual racism the author uses and then does not acknowledge the issues with it. Usually, I think adding racism to a book is important if a character is a person of color or if it is a book primarily about…

I've been thinking about the beach, waters and the sands for weeks now realizing I haven't even shared our Canyon Cove getaway yet. It is something that is worth sharing for and I can't believe I almost forget to blog about it. So without further adieu, here is the story of our first long drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip. January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all…

write? If every single comment was fully analyzed for possible offensive content, what could be written? Sometimes editing, or at least restriction of access, seems like a righteous thing (like, if something is blatantly racist there should be a disclaimer); but everyone has different, conflicting opinions and it can get ridiculous. Mark Twain had no malicious intent while writing The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; he wanted to satirize the issues of his day and have fun with it. He should not…

reading was accompanied by a dance routine reminiscent to the nineties boy band group, NSYNC. Or was it Backstreet Boys? Regardless, their performance ended with a bang... Nick falling behind a computer cart. Bye bye bye that landing I suppose. (Disclaimer: No student was hurt in the making of this class…

Piggy Chops, never ever conform to do a movie which can get released 10 years later. Not that isn’t her fault that the film’s unharness got delayed, however we marvel however she even agreed to act during this film once taking note of the story. (Disclaimer: browse the story at your own risk.) The film major the superb jazz band of Chi Chi (Govinda) associated PeeCee (and they rhyme! Sigh! ne'er mind) has an IMDB rating of two.5, any brave watchers out there? 5. Barsaat (2005) and Chamku…

Tesla Model S Sedan: An example of ad Project Management (Disclaimer, I am a huge fan of the Tesla product line) Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, has put together something no one previously thought was possible. An electric car that is practical and luxurious. Tesla sales have increased, 52% in Q2 2015 and are expected to continue to rise as more people become fed up with the oil industry and want to make a positive impact on the environment. Additionally Tesla cars have scored the highest…

As I mentioned in my previous New Orleans post, I recently had my first trip to the Big Easy! Here is how I navigated through it all. Getting to New Orleans While flying into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is an option, Shreveport is only about five hours from New Orleans so I drove. Driving meant, I had to go pay my friends at Avis a visit. Avis is always my rental car choice because they have nice vehicles, great rates, easy booking/pickup/drop off and great customer…

Since the start of the cure, questions form on the government's position on marriage. Couples argue that when they say forever, they only mean 60 years. Although disclaimers of what "forever" really mean do not appear in vows, with a lifestyle change, comes a marriage alteration. Now, people enter into cycle marriages without hesitation. "But no one told me forever would be this long!"(37). With that said, this mimics…
