Vicky just gave me the golden ticket that allows me to come in and out of this blog. I will make an appearance once in awhile when I have something to say, which is quite often. This is actually something I wrote in 2009, when Sarah gave me “homework” (What happened to that homework blog, that was an awesome idea?)
Wanna know what hip hop means to me? Read on:

Think For Yourself
by Ralph Marston
If you expect others to tell you what to do or how to do it, and you’re not willing to understand why, then you’re setting yourself up to be deceived. When you’re not willing to think for yourself, there are plenty of people who will step in to do your thinking for you. The problem is, most of those people will also take advantage of you. You have an...

WHAT TO DO -- WITH THE STUFF THAT KEEP YOU UP AT...
You turn them into a reality.
Which is why there’s a brand new studio in town (Cubao X), and a bright, young photographer to go with it. Playmates, I’d like you to meet Gabby Cantero. Having packed her suitcases for Singapore to earn her extra stripes and keep by playing paparazzi for its local events, Gabby finally comes home to a concretized (pun intended) dream — her very...

Daily Upgrade: Eat & Drink More... of the good...
Living a healthy lifestyle takes more than going to the gym a couple times a week & starving yourself. The fact is, to live a healthier (& longer) life, you need to combine a challenging exercise program with a proper well balanced diet composed of “good” carbs, protein, fruits & veggies, milk & dairy, & a little bit of food with fat & sugar. You really need...

WHAT TO DO — WHEN IN SINGAPORE
I figured I’d add this dimension to the The Dollhouse Playbook — travel tidbits (tidbits because I don’t want you watching full documentaries, so I’ll just settle for 49 seconds of fame) depending on where I go and what’s there to do. So for Singapore virgins like me, here’s the story:
My sister and I were playing Hangman...

Sarah's Five Dopest...Sarahs in Music.
The most frequently-asked unanswerable question I get in interviews, conversations, and from people on the street is “Who is your favorite musical artist of all time?”.
I couldn’t tell you.
I couldn’t even tell you who my favorite «insert genre here» artist was, or who my favorite artist from 1998 was, or who my favorite lyricist or rapper or soprano is.
Heck,...

WHAT TO DO -- WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 20:11
Its been four days into the New Year and everyone seems to be upbeat about the possibilities, opportunities, chance meetings, divine interventions, confirmed revelations and blessings that come with, not only a new year, but a new decade. (Somehow, everyone is all googly-eyed about the new era, new decade part. I know I am.) So what can possibly go wrong, right?
Well, somewhere in between, you...

Daily Upgrade: Weed Out the Bad Habits & "WEAVE"...
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread each day, and at last we cannot break it. - Horace Mann
Habits can make or break a person. Bad habits like eating too much junk food or not getting enough sleep at night can play an integral role in your overall character. You don’t want to be that grumpy co-worker or boring friend because of unhealthy habits like these. Conversely, good habits like...
