Wing Night
When growing up in a large suburb containing only chain fast-food restaurants and Filipinos, you start running out of things to do by the time you’ve reached an age where making curfew isn’t exactly a priority anymore.
Enter Wing Night. The entire population of Mira Mesa gathers at this weekly watering hole to buy chicken wings at a somewhat reasonable price of 40 cents per, flocking...

Black Men Chronicles: Anecdote to Support the...
In ninth grade, I was approached by a rather large black male who informed me bluntly that I have “DSL.” I responded with silence, a confused expression, and the urge to inform him who my internet-cable provider was. He quickly realized I didn’t understand what he was suggesting and clarified with, “You have dick-sucking-lips.”
To put it lightly, I was offended.

Lips
My lips had a weird reaction the other night. I woke up around 4AM practically sprinting out of my bed in the direction of the bathroom, but stopped short when I noticed (via full-length mirror to my right) that my lips stuck out further than usual. And by further, I mean it was twice the size my lips usually are. And I have big lips as it is.
My face was literally falling forward from the...

Another One About the Death of My Relationship
I just had an argument that spanned the duration of two hours, on my driveway, with ex-Boyfriend. So, y’know, all the essentials that add up to the perfect night.
I’m furious beyond comprehension. We put up a fucking show for my entire neighborhood, screaming our lungs out at each other, and at one point I kicked him in the chest and punched him yelling at him to, “STAY THE...
Vague Blog About An Anonymous Love Interest
It’s amazing how love can drive a person completely mad. Not just love. Lack of love, the possibility of love, being loved and losing that love, or even just being loved and still unsatisfied.

Remains of a Relationship
The end of a lengthy relationship always causes a chain reaction, arguments arise out of nothing and the only solution is to avoid seeing, thinking, talking to him or her until the residual awkwardness dissolves.
But sometimes that’s not even possible.
I recently broke up with my boyfriend of the past year, but, since I did meet him in the same circle of friends I still hang out with now,...
Stoplights
I pulled up at a stoplight the other day, and for the first time, regretted having all my windows down. Directly next to me, with not enough room to pull up in front of me and a car behind me obstructing my ability to slightly roll back, was a boy from high school that while I recognized and greeted from time to time, I didn’t exactly know. And since all his windows were also down, polite...
