I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
All the world is my television and I like to provide commentary on it.
Cheers
Growing up in the South Bronx conveys and evokes some universal meanings and images to many. There is the image of the “Bronx is burning”. There are the little casitas of the neighborhoods-the huts that looked like the rural parts of Puerto Rico. There were also […]

I am older than my sister by more than nine years. I grew up partly as an only child. With nine years into such a status, it was a bit hard to switch to being an older sister. I went from being the one and only to being […]
It was around 100 degrees today and my office experienced a rolling blackout. Lights came back on but the internet didn’t. Of course with no internet, the whole office didn’t know what to do with itself. What did people do back in the day in their cubicles, before […]
I took a nap this afternoon. A new habit I have taken to. It was close to 100 degrees in Los Angeles today. I had been up since 5am and had “worked” till 10pm last night. All in all, the past week has presented itself as the […]
In New York, we have always said the phrase “wait on line” which annoyed my visiting mid-westerner friends and the like. I didn’t get the problem with waiting on line. This was before being online was all the rage . However, as the New York times noted […]
Silence of the ;lambs is by far one of my favorite movies ever. It is at the foundation of who I am today. I will not explain this further but it is true. Did you know that it is only the third in history to win Oscars in […]
