About
This site is belongs to a post-graduate student now headed for law school. It is part of a growing network of pro-migrant voices online that seek to counter the hatred and ignorance spewed by hate groups and promote meaningful immigration reform. Beyond that, you will also find discussions about political economy, post-colonialism, neo-liberalism, subaltern studies, queer theory (and the l word) topped by an occasional rant about the order of things and educational resources now and then. Do leave comments whenever you can.Wall
: Who is excited about the DNC? *yawn*
: hey NR , thanks for stopping by 
I'll put up better poems someday lol
: A sweet message as you requested.. getting lost on your site and in your poetry!
: I am really sorry to disappoint and make everyone wait ... It is at the back of my mind even as I study (usually at the gym) but since the story is so emotionally draining, I cannot focus on it while truly trying to prepare for my exams 
: I just gave up and tried some honesty. I tried to be supportive (and keep my mouth shut) cause i'm a student too, so i know what its like.. I didnt want to be pushy, i mean: the girl needs to study!! but, patience is not one of my virtues. guess im just gonna learn the art of waiting -.-
