Exchange of Niceties The narrator is a teenage girl whose view of herself and others definitely is critically bad. She starts telling the story about herself, without mentioning anything good at all. She kind of demeans herself by using the words “trashy whore,” which she was called by the father of her child.

I love romantic anime. All of the following are romantic animes. The ones with the most *'s are the best.

three weeks break, I managed to read a few summer titles that I have missed out on! I am no doubt, a massive fan of Lindsey Kelk’s books, not just because she writes awesome stuffs but also because she loves Hello Kitty as much as I do! Exam week was pretty much no sleep and reading a great story during the break was all I needed. I was really lucky to be given an advanced copy that came with cute, hot pink and lime green M&Ms but assignments and life got in the way and ruined the excitement. However

Peace The play, Fish-Hair Woman, was a beautiful production by the Harlequin Theatre Guild of De La Salle University. It had a unique diversity from death and love, an enemy and a sweetheart, war and an impassioned serenade and more.

The “Theater-in-the-Round” setup of the play was designed by Joseph Duran, and
