070114 I am so sick of being called the Wicked Queen! I am not wicked, I'm obsessive. There's a big difference. All I ever wanted was to be the fairest in the land. Maybe attempted homicide was a bit extreme, but that doesn't make me evil. Do you have any idea what it's like to … Continue reading Interpretive Reading – The Monodrama#2: The Wicked Queen’s Lament (Author Unknown)

Get Personal

To Be…
022118 To be or not to be, that is the question. That was the question indeed, not by Hamlet though, but a high school girl who was on the verge of probably one of her life’s early crisis and that was finding out what course to take in college.

Charging Station
080117 Photo taken when I was FDIP TM President 2017-2018 with my Officers. “Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?
