  • Mormon Church: Dark Skin a Sign of God’s Curse No Longer

    Originally posted on AwayPoint: As of Friday, December 6, the Mormon Church has officially renounced the doctrine that brown skin is a punishment from God. In the Book of Mormon, (not the musical but the actual sacred text) dark skin is a sign of God’s curse, while white skin is a sign of his blessing.…

    (1) Correction: you can also paint. This canvas has been waiting for me for a very long time now. I’m positively itching to fill it up. :) /hello room again, i have missed you/

  • Let’s Talk About the Me and You

    Highschool, St. Scholastica’s College Manila. Home of women leaders, social activists and articulate speaker. Set the stage.  The commute home from school is long. I have to ride the LRT, a handful of jeepneys and tricycles. Time and time again, I’ve seen the same beggar on the flight of stairs going up to the LRT.…

  • STUDY FUN TIMES :)

    Quite oddly, I am so excited to study! Hahaha. I guess it’s because (a) I’m energized by sleeping since 1045PM, and (b) I’ve been really inspired by my org work recently. Like, can’t actually do my orgs if I fail all of my classes, right? Haha! Here’s to studying 116 Bio today, and Chem in…

  • Art Recs: Ashley Mackenzie + Alexander Khokhlov

    Sometimes I forget that images can be more puissant than words.   The visual flair of Ashley Mackenzie‘s works demonstrates a striking transcendence through dimensions. What makes it so evocative is the nature of the barriers that she breaks; previously unthought of physical territories are unravelled and then stitched together through a thematic motion of form.…

  • Dinners with debate, and why they’re so valuable

    …because if I don’t eat with them, I forget to eat dinner entirely. Case in point: right now. I am hunger but it is late. But then again, a disastrous trend of going to the conference room at the right moment (i.e., dinner time) calls for some intervention. In other debate news, can’t wait for…
