The Little Things

Who would want a parrot? All that the haughty thing did was squawk and imitate my gurgling noises, a result of attempts to speak. “Shut up, Jerome,” was a phrase I’ve attempted to say many a time, without success. I must admit, though, I find it quite hilarious when little Jerome makes fun of me with the noises he makes. I cannot say as I enjoy his presence in my room, but at least the hospital gave me a pet with a good sense of humor. I swear the thing even imitates my paralyzed, contorted face…

know why because I never actually read them. Instead, I would always look at the pictures in the books and tell my parents what the book was about based on what the pictures it showed. I’d tell them I know what it’s about because I read it, but, the thing is, I never read any of it. I only lied because that was the only way for them to get me more books. When I was young, whenever I looked at a book, I only saw lines with random letters. Every book I had would translate into saying, “BLAH BLAH…

all over the whole world has changed the way we see things. Being on the other side of a country does not stop people from talking but they can do that through skype or any other social media. Saying in this is very terrible because there can be miscommunication and people can take it the wrong way. People do not communicate like they use to, seeing them stay into their phone like a zombie walking along the road. There is no emotion in most things anymore but you just think there is because you…

and draw the face he was studying. Chuck’s later years in his art career, was now he can’t pain with one hand, so he paints with two hands. When he was just a little bit younger in his ages, he was diagnosed with face blindness and dyslexia. Which means that if…

Boredom is anything but boring. Some may say that it’s irrelevant. That it’s an emotion that’ll be faced a lot. That it’s simply a part of life. That there’s no need to fret over it-and that’s where they’re wrong. See, boredom is a unique emotion. It is more than the absence of stimulation; there are feelings behind it, ranging from indifference to strong aggression. Students everywhere will say that their classes are boring them. Sitting at a desk all day taking notes or reading long, drawn out…

humans face in relationships; people often overreact to things and it can cause strain in the relationship. This story is a typical example of this conflict. The narrator overreacts to Sonny’s decision about wanting to become a musician which adds another factor to the list of ones that eventually sends Sonny overboard into the bad habit of doing drugs. Once the narrator steps back, he is able to see that music is the way Sonny deals with the things that has happened in his past and both…

Thanks to the lovely people over at The Imperfect Podcast, I have been able to connect with some amazing independent filmmakers, actors, directors, and more. In the case of Tonya Kay, I asked for her an interview the moment I saw that they were interviewing her. Thankfully, Tonya had some time recently to chat with me about the evolution of her career as well as her perspective on life and the pursuit of one's dreams, including her prospects for the future. RH: Why did you choose…

will look (Berry, D. S., 2000, Rhodes, G., & Zebrowitz, L. A., 2002, Thornhill, R., & Gangestad, S. W., 1999). For the success, it is the situation when you achieve your aim or complete your mission. It can be happiness, money, cars and any other thing that can be the aim or mission of someone. It depends on the people and not all people have same definition of success. Nowadays, many debates were held to discuss about these two variables, which were beauty and success, are related and correlate…

fond memories associated with places that I have been to. If there was a place I would be fond of; it would probably be a football field. This is because now that I understand the sport a bit better I feel at home playing on the field. I started a little late on football, being as my first year was my eighth grade year, and I had no idea what I was even doing; and it did not help that the coaches did not make a playbook which made it a lot harder to memorize the plays and even with a playbook…

It’s better to be thankful for the things you have been given in life and the things you have worked hard for than to wish for unattainable things or thing that come with unintended consequences. If the old man would have never made the wish, maybe the son would still be alive and his parents lives would be full and happy rather than having to…
