From My Heart to Yours

I Lost Myself Somewhere in There

15 Nov 10

I’ve been having a hard time with my career choice this semester. What article I don’t fail gets published and I’m not proud. What article I am proud of before publishing gets reworded, restructured or oversimplified. All my creativity and personality gets drained out as if straining a pot of noodles over the sink. What…

Meisha on Politics

28 Oct 10

In my Mass Media class we read about political campaigns and the changes that have taken place. More fitting, we read about the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of negative advertisements. Then, we wrote about it. Here is what I said: I have to say, I am very happy and excited to be able to express…

Failure

27 Oct 10

I failed my first article today. I say that in the most modest and disappointed tone–hoping that maybe a few years down the line I can look back on this post and be proud of how far I’ve come. As I mentioned in my first blog of the school year, one factual error and you fail….

Let Me See Your I.D

18 Oct 10

For a while I have been battling with the idea of being independent and what makes an adult an adult. If ever I decide to rely on the law of this land to tell me, it always comes back to one thing: capitalism. How do I draw that connection? It’s very simple. Everything in this…

Woes of a College Student

14 Oct 10

When I grow up I want to be just like Sam. In a continuation from yesterday’s blog, this morning she was taken into the four hour surgery, half of her head shaved, and she went in like a champion. The surgery was performed, the tumor removed, and she woke up thereafter. Now she is back…

Reality Check

13 Oct 10

I have been laying in bed all day trying to figure out a way to appropriately describe how I am feeling–which I am not sure has been much of a success–without sounding like I am complaining or being negative. Last night I was reminded just how precious and absolutely unpredictable life is, at the expense…

I am going to try my best to not sound like a broken record, but I am sure we have all heard about the dangers of living life through the internet. You never realise how real it is until it happens to you. On Sunday someone decided to act like a 12-year-old and create a…

Birth-Aversary

21 Sep 10

Yesterday I turned 20. I foresee it taking me quite some time to adjust to no longer being 19 since I always seem to forget my age. Nonetheless, I am now no longer a teenager. (Yes! That means teenage statistics no longer apply.) I figured I could take some time to write about what I’ve…

Closer to My Dreams

11 Sep 10

My first college article was published last week Sunday in my University’s Newspaper. Prior to seeing my name underneath the headline “Chindia Rising” I was extremely anxious. I even insisted on keeping the prospect of getting my article published to myself, just to avoid possible negativity from people who wish me bad things behind closed…

Multi-tasking in Digi-Nation

03 Sep 10

I wrote an “essay” for my Intro to Mass Media class after watching a show on Frontline called “Digital Nation.” I don’t want to exhaust the topic of technology, but I thought I would share it nonetheless. ———— The concept of multi-tasking has become more and more important as technologies have become more and more…
