Insite just held its yearly AGM. I am feeling slightly light-headed. How can I explain to you, dear reader, what it means to have to say goodbye to Insite? It is not easy to embrace change when one does not want things to change. Yet, I must move on. Insite was, for me, one of… Continue reading Goodbye Insite
The Noise of Time
Even though I no longer study History, I can definitely say that my favorite period to study was the Cold War. If I had to narrow it down, my favorite historical incident would be the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Most people have never heard of it, but the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis is one of… Continue reading The Noise of Time
Liberalism and Instagram
I will outwardly and confidently call myself a liberal. That is my political agenda. And I'm proud of it. Every political ideology has its flaws (I mean just look at capitalism and socialism), but liberalism is a very wide ideology that's hard to pin point. And it has plenty of flaws too. Let's start with… Continue reading Liberalism and Instagram
Disinformation

Yet another part of me sees the numbers increasing and I keep getting frustrated that nothing is being done. Cuz… Continue reading Disinformation

I'm learning to make writing a daily job but it isn't easy when you're a student and a waitress. Some of… Continue reading Here’s Why I’m Objecting
Second Hand Clothes: the myths and truths
We've all heard this before from our very basic Gozitan moms: second hand clothes are worn out and dirty and people will talk if you wear second hand clothes don't tell people you wear second hand clothes etc etc etc. The ranting could go on for hours. In this blog post, I intend to fully… Continue reading Second Hand Clothes: the myths and truths
The Cemetery
One of the words that come to mind when I think of January is the cemetery. I've got a few family members who died this month. (this blog post is not depressing so keep reading!) The word cemetery has a double-meaning for me. My first meaning to the cemetery is a bit twisted. For me,… Continue reading The Cemetery

Dating in Gozo
Dating. The movies make it look easy. It's not. Especially in a small place like Gozo. In this blog post, I intend to create some discussion on dating in Gozo; something which most locals don't talk about. You must keep in mind that these observations below are simply my own observations and may be slightly… Continue reading Dating in Gozo
