Recklessly authentic.
The title of this post may have you thinking, "Yeah, so what?" Well, last year, I blogged about having spotted a billboard that said Jesus Christ would be returning on May 21st 2011. Today is May 23rd 2011. The world should have ended two days ago. I meant to put up a blog post yesterday, but clearly, that didn't happen. Let me refresh your memory. Read More
At the stroke of midnight, I did not get kissed [insert long sigh]. I was hoping that a miracle would happen, that a knight in shining armor would appear, scoop me up from the red cushion church seat I was on, and rescue my lips - which, by the way, I had glossed very well about two minutes before midnight - with his lips.

Mine went unexpectedly well. I had no plans, really. Christmas, for me, started off with attending a friend’s Christmas party which was advertised to start at 11:59pm on December 24th 2010.

However, this year, I'm especially taking part in the Read More
My mother is a relentless Catholic. So it was no surprise to me when she said insisted that I hang a rosary on the rear-view mirror of my car. I did it just to make her happy. A couple of months later, I changed my mind and took it off. She came at me with a determination that could not be matched.
