When falling for someone new or being in love, does it not seem like every love song you hear knows exactly what you are feeling, even the most cheesy ones? Even if you are single, sometimes when a certain love song comes on the radio, do you not think of a blissful memory you have of an ex? Music is funny that way when it invokes the feeling of love in us. This is why I sometimes feel like music is my boyfriend, whether he is an ’80s classic or Beyoncé. The first lyrics of my favorite love songs are what drew me to them. Here are my Top 5 favorite love songs for Valentine’s Day. More »

I never knew this existed, but apparently it did. It was a thirty minute cartoon where Hello Kitty and her friends performed in a theater where they reenacted well-known fairytale stories. More »

Last year on February 14th, my single female friend and I decided to spend an anti-Valentine’s Day in San Francisco where we planned a strictly girls’ night out with no boys allowed. She and I wanted to start the evening out right with a pillow fight, but not one involving pink nighties and bed jumping, no. We went hardcore by attending the Great San Francisco Valentine’s Day Pillow Fight held every year on Valentine’s Day at Justin Herman Plaza in the Embarcadero. More »

I’ve yet to see last year’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, but now I have reason to aside from the fact that it was a book I enjoyed in my childhood — it features an ice cream town. (!!!) As in, a town made entirely out of ice cream. From these movie stills, ice cream town looks like heaven. Although, I can imagine it’d be a terrible place for me to live. I’d constantly be eating until I’ve got nowhere to live. More »

The point is to meet new people and to have a good time. More »
