Getting to know my face
Alright so finally after waiting and much preparation later, I had my interview with Emelyne! I didn’t notice how nervous I was until we began the interview and I found myself using ummm a lot. Not to worry I did correct myself and managed to moved past my shyness.
Kristine and I set out on campus to meet Emelyne at...
Shooting for fun
Welcome back fellow bloggers and readers.
This week two fellow classmates/photographers and I met up with Emelyne. Finally we had our photo shoot scheduled after weeks of us being too busy, we decided to meet at the Pierce College Farm. Once there we noticed how vast the farm really was. The land seemed to stretch on and on. We got...
Makings of a good story
Hello fellow bloggers and welcome back! So as of last time our stories for The Bull Magazine lead my classmates and I to places we’ve never been, which allowed us to meet new and interesting people.
But along this path, we’ve found that at times finding and writing a good story can require a lot of work and digging. There...
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Even though interviewing others can be frightful, it can also be informative. So far I’ve learned that there are all kinds of people out there and just because someone looks different from most, doesn’t mean they are any different on the inside. I had the opportunity of interviewing a student from Pierce who happens to be a small person...
From color to leads
While on the search for someone to write about color, I came across a few interesting people on campus.
They were going about their day and their regular schedules.

I jotted down as many words as I could while the information just flowed from...

To love or to match: the tradition of arranged marriages
Napur Kumar is 23 years old, and is considering settling down. She has tried online dating, but says, "Sometimes I would come across men that would use me to the advantage of getting a green card, and it was just weird."
Nupur is willing to let her mother, Vandana Kumar, do some of the searching for her.
If she goes that route, she'll...
Manga Mania
The blaring cheers of female Japanese pop stars on screen blanket the constant humming chatter inside Anime Jungle. It has just struck noon when scores of fresh-faced youths pack the spacious Downtown Los Angeles shop. Among the ranks—hidden beneath a silken aquamarine wig styled into a bob—is Dolores Stewart.
Squatting in front of the section of manga comics labeled “A”,...
Building Better Bodies
The steady hum of treadmills fill the Los Angeles Pierce College weight room, broken up by the sharp metal clang of weights and the occasional grunts of those standing in front of the mirrors running along the walls from floor to ceiling. In the sea of machines and bodies, Sean Oliver is easy to spot. His well-defined physique...
The Seductive Art
Behind the black curtain of Bar One in the San Fernando Valley that keeps her hidden from the crowd, Lola Chan changes from conservative clothing she wore entering the club to her lacy and seductive costume that will be revealed to the waiting patrons. The sound of anticipation grows as the entertainment is about to begin. The lights dim...
