Ten Things I’ve Learned Falling in Love With a Scorpio
Some don’t believe in astrology or in the idea your birth time and date could successfully predict your behavior. They believe we are all floating through life and despite sharing identical backgrounds, upbringing and parents, we just miraculously have a completely opposite personality than our siblings. Birth order may play a role, but after three kids, even that becomes vague and inaccurate. The fact that we are generally 65 percent water, and water is affected by gravity should be evidence enough that heavenly bodies affect us just like the moon affects the ocean.

There's A Moon Out Tonight
sDear Aris, Every Sunday you and I would walk down the cherry blossom covered road to Rocky’s Diner and order one strawberry milkshake. We loved coming here because it made us feel like we had traveled in time. The diner was 50s themed with checkered tile, neon lights hugged every corner, and an old jukebox stood by the biggest window. Every time I looked at the jukebox by the window it reminded me that as time flies, true beauty never fades. It reminded me of you.

Tuesday Night Affairs
How can your life turn upside-down in just a matter of seconds? How can you lose everything you have worked for just because of a stupid mistake? How can you turn back time? These were the questions that kept popping up in Jean’s head while she stood perfectly still watching the ocean. She had come to the island thinking that staring at the vast ocean would put all her problems into perspective. But she was wrong. The burden of her mistakes were so heavy that there wasn’t room for anything else.

Dear Devin
Dear Devin, I'm looking over the ocean as the waves crash against the rocks below me. My mind drifts to the events of the past year. Everything had gotten so bad after you died. I know you didn’t want to leave but I guess it was your destiny. That day I promised you I would never forget you. So here I am sitting over the ocean writing you this letter.

10 Myths About Dating an Asian Girl: Debunked
Though this rather interesting concept dates back many centuries into our past, dating Asian women (or more specifically, the idea of dating an Asian women), has officially gone mainstream. Admittedly, I had to do a bit more research on this post than I did when I wrote '10 Myths About Dating An Asian Guy: Debunked' since a common thread links the two simply because of cultural ideas and misconceptions about Asian women as a whole. Interestingly enough, the opposite can be said about Asian women. They are readily pursued by a niche of men, both Asian and non-Asian who idolize the potential lifestyle that an Asian woman is stereotyped to bring to a relationship such as the traditional woman's role in the household (cooking, cleaning, taking care of children), a certain level of submissiveness as well as a number of other common cultural assumptions. But as an Asian female who was born and raised by immigrant parents in America, it is clear to me that these traditional stereotypes are extremely outdated and are still being kept in our society today despite the changes we're making as the next generation. It makes it difficult to truly embrace the dating game when these myths and stereotypes are portrayed this way even in today's social media and pop culture. In response to this, here are ten common myths about Asian women and their truths based on my experience as one of them:

Lovers No More (Ch. 3)
I had a really good time last year-too good a time. Now, I was more on my own than ever before. I felt like I was no longer a part of the St. Catherine of Sienna crowd even though I still had to identify myself in that manner. It was just a formality or an affirmation. It wasn’t like I was saying that I loved it. I just wanted to be sure that if there was another Maurice Bernier, and it could have happened, roaming CK, I was the one who suffered through SCS. Now, I was beginning probably the hardest time since I entered the place.

Lovers No More (Ch. 1)
I have lived in Hell for close to nine years—nine long, tough, trying years. I went to school there. I learned my academic subjects there. I had to wear a uniform. I even went out to play in its yard every once in a while. Actually, I do remember going home from time to time to have lunch.
