First I would like to thank everyone for responding to my previous post with such fervor. I did not expect to receive so many messages in my gmail inbox; it was a great shock. Thank you for your enthusiasm!   Likewise I have been keeping tallies as promised and so far these are the top locations. TOKYO, JAPAN, BERLIN, GERMANY and LONDON, ENGLAND: tied with 12...

To kick off this fall season right I am starting a new series of interactive blogs entitled “Top Ten Hottest Locations In The World.” Here’s how it works. I, your liaison, want to know what you, my dear subscribers, think are the hottest places to visit in world right now. Whether it be your home town or a place you...

As many of my dashing readers know, my siblings and I are the latest editions to a long line of proud Germans. With Krieger and Venable on my mothers side and Stover, Heinreich, and Backovic on my fathers side it is impossible for anyone not to know our Deutsch roots. However with that said, many people who aren’t “In...

With the recent social net trend being nostalgic or “retro” fashion and music circa 1990-2009 I thought it was high time I give all my Millennial readers a shout out. Although there are some fads that should stay buried in the past (I’m looking at you cheesy choker necklaces and platform sneakers) I got to admit that our generation...

With the leaves turning and the winds churning bringing with them the first chill of winter I thought it high time to update my wardrobe. Although I cherish my moth-eaten woolen cardigans and decades old cashmere sweaters handed down to me from Grandmother Joan herself, I have recently found myself in need of a few new essentials. As I...

My search for the prefect Brony was going no where fast. I had walked around campus and found guys who would point and accuse each other like if it was some kind of sickness. “I’m not, but you know who is…” I would constantly hear that from guys who I would approach.  Either that or “No! I’m not a Brony,...

I had done it. I had found a Brony. His name was Trinidad Gomez, and he was one of the administrators of the “Meetup” that I had gone to. His story of how he was in deep depression when he found the fandom was becoming common among Bronies that I had met. Shy at first, Gomez let others share their...

Welcome back bloggers! It has been crazy busy in the news room since the last time I blogged. Everyone is running around getting all the last minute touches done with their stories. Our deadline is right around the corner and I’m not going to lie, things have gone from stress free to stressful. With everyone’s schedule being so packed,...

Welcome back once again bloggers. Last week a classmate and I made the trip out to Arleta to meet up with our subject Emelyne and her family. We were greeted and welcomed inside. We met Emelyne’s parents Edwin and Shirley Batugo, along with her older sibling Aaron. We got to know a little bit about what they do and...
