Have you ever been in a conversation with someone for a long time only to find out in the end that you completely misunderstood each other? It happens all the time between people of different cultures and languages, because of the context that surrounds each word, intonation, and voice. And funny still, it happens even…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

It’s hard to believe that I’ve already been back home for a week. It’s been quite difficult trying to get used to being back in the American life, but it has also been very nice to see everyone. I’ve missed my family and friends very much and just through this past week, I have realized a lot of things that I love about the States….CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

As my life is currently being consumed with the production and submission of club budgets for Canisius, it is what is in the forefront of my mind right now. I am currently the acting treasurer for the newly minted Canisius College Quidditch Team, (yes, it exists.) as well as the treasurer for the WIRE, which is Canisius’ own radio station. Therefore, I have two budgets to submit by this Friday…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone! It’s crazy that June is upon us, it felt like the school year just ended. For me, a part of me is still in school because I am currently still living on campus, so I am in the school everyday, seeing the same offices and buildings. Its very different without the students though. Everything is very still and kind of hushed. The plants and trees are all in bloom which is beautiful and…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

I am a dreamer and I particularly like big crazy dreams. I am naturally attracted to those who in spite of the circumstances are able to see beyond the brick wall and are passionate to go break through at any cost. In an age where more young people are buying into entitlement, I am one who continues to stand on the simple and basic lesson that there is…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

Once upon a time, a good friend of mine, who happens to go by the name Haddaway, posed the question, “What is love?” And after countless weeks of senseless head bobbing and spending night after night in the Roxbury, we all took a second or two to really think about what was asked; what is love? Now I am far from an expert…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

For a while now, Austin has had over 90 degree weather and I am told by many that it is just about to get warmer. I know I grew up in the heat and humidity of the Philippines, but I am a big whiner when it comes to the heat. I believe that this is even one of the reasons why I’m no longer there. I’m just saying. I would never forget what…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

Ok, so when we last met I was recounting my wonderful night at Senior Ball. I ended up staying in Buffalo the next two nights to continue my celebration with the seniors in honoring them at their graduation. Now for anyone who doesn’t know, Canisius’ graduation is located at…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

Ball was last Thursday night, and I have to admit I kind of had mixed feelings going into it. I hadn’t had the best experiences at High School dances of the same caliber so I was a little weary going in. but figured I was surrounded by a group a few days removed from the real world so the night would just ooze elegance and…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…

Teaching children is both incredibly rewarding and frustrating. I suppose I should explain the nature of my teaching; I am a CAC, a Canisius Ambassador for Conservation, which is the reason for my staying at Canisius for five extra weeks after the end of the semester. As a CAC, which is one of the best things about the animal behavior major here at Canisius, I got a free trip to…CLICK HERE TO READ MORE…
