In the Eyes of a Child
It was way past 10:00 pm when I came home from a grueling day of schoolwork and extracurricular activities. The wind was rustling about overhead as I paced through the door of our humble abode. I moved towards the nearest couch and plumped myself to rest. Defeat and exhaustion filled my frame as I laid back against the soft cushions. I was about to close my eyes when I remembered our Hematology project which was due the next day. I stood up and set out for the personal computer situated on the other side of the room. Just then, my brother Michael dashed out of his room and went straight at me."Ate, can you help me with my assignment? It's about the seven wonders of the world," he blurted out while...

Cold
A Squatter's TaleIt was cold. We kept marching, my partner and I, through the December streets. The winter sky daunting us, seemingly motionless, as we continued our journey through this nightmare of sensory affliction.It was cold. But it wasn't just cold. It was fucking cold. Feeling had departed from my fingers, my hands, my arms, my legs, my feet, my face. The only part of my that was warm was the only part that seemed never to catch coldness: my stomach. And when I had an itch to scratch there, I reached to do what I had to do, and immediately ripped my arm out of my shirt -- my fingers were so cold, so numb with frost, that to bring them to my stomach was to stir the worst of pains...

When it comes to the art of giving, a gift of clothes is fraught with peril. We all have stories to tell, and if you don't, you will. Just give it time.Mine started early. My grandmother, having survived the Depression, knew how to stretch a dollar. Clothes for her grandkids were always purchased 3 or 4 sizes too big so we could "grow into them".

By which time they were ready for donation.Then there's my husband. Heaven forbid I should try to give the man a Polo shirt with an uneven hemline. Most Polos are made...

Regardless of how we thought we'd feel about our baby bumps, the challenges of dressing a pregnant body sometimes seem more difficult to bear than the child itself. But luckily, in the past decade or two, maternity designers have really, er, delivered. Thanks to changes in the way the pregnant body is viewed, even the most pregnant mamas can look fabulous with a few little tricks. 1...

I mean, I'm not that old, but jeez, the music of today, with only a few rare exceptions, kinda stinks.

Their overheads are high, and they believe there just isn't enough volume in the market for them.Where you do find clothes that fit in retail outlets, how many times have you been faced with substantially higher prices than equivalent garments for more averagely proportioned shoppers...
