Recently, (Oct. 28 to be specific) there was a LGBT march that happened in Taiwan, and it was the largest one held in Asia!

Personally, I attended and walked in the march for about an hour, and was extremely happy with all the positive energy s...

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are officially back together?? What?? It has been quite a while before the pair split up in 2011. They were on and off for 5 years!!
This below is Jelena before 

I'm sure everyone has their own opinion on them an...

Every year from Dec. 4th (the date of Frank Zappa's death) to Dec. 21st. (the date of his birth), the world celebrates Zappadan.
It's a chance to remember Frank Zappa and all he contributed. Frank created some astounding music and had a unique ...

“Choose a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.” 

Well, maybe just the weekends.  That said, we do spend most of our adult waking hours working and many of us continue to work into our mid-60’s.
But there are those...

Taylor Swift, 27, can easily be named as one of the top artists and celebrities of the 2000s.
Sure, we all know her as the 'cute country girl' who always has the adorable 'surprise face' when she wins an award, but is she really even anything l...

I'm sure everyone has heard the saying "ignorance is bliss" over and over again in so many different situations. But what does it mean really? Well, of course it implies different things in different situations, but most of the time, it generall...

I'm sure you have all heard about Logan Paul and his public scandal of posting a video of a suicide body in the Japanese suicide forest on Youtube. Logan Paul is a youtube vlogger (video blogger), who posts daily vlogs of what goes on in his life,...

Taylor Swift has turned into Donald Trump.
Ah, shit. It's only entertainment and very finely constructed, but listen to what she has to say.
I Did Something Bad

They say I did something badThen why's it feel so good?They say I did something...

C'mon. This doesn't need to happen. If Apple can build a bazillion dollar headquarters down the road, somebody can come up with the peanut shells to keep the Oasis open.

The news broke a couple of days ago. People are now lining up in mourning ...

So many people nowadays are learning new languages the make their resumes look better, to get into a better college, as it is considered extremely "convenient" to have another language learned in their back pocket. 
As a person who has grown up...

For those of you who don't know (which I would hope isn't a lot of you) Taiwan is a little island just off the coast of China. But don't belittle Taiwan because of its size, their reputation for street food is off the charts, and rightfully so.

Going to the gym to me always seemed like this great big commitment that required a lot of mental and physical strength to maintain, which is why, with my busy schedule and lazy attitude, gym-ing never became my thing, until it suddenly became req...

The tech company where I’d landed not long out of school was all about innovating. We felt like trailblazers and in many ways were just that.
A couple of years in, one of the original founders started a new project for a solution in an emerging...

One of the most problematic things for kids and teens these days is: lack of sleep. Yes, it might be because they are up late watching TV shows or procrastinating and doing whatever to put off their homework, but ultimately, it leads up to the com...

No matter how well off or how poor the family situation is, I believe it is so important for every teenager going through high school (or about to go to college) to have a job at least one point in their lives. 

The job could just be as simple ...

This is a VERY debated over topic, especially with those of us in the music community. Everybody has a different preference whether it be listening with playing these types of groups. 

Chamber Music (Quartets, Octets, Duets) usually involve muc...

Theater has always been apart of my life ever since I was pretty little, but it was recently reintroduced into my life as something way more important. 

Before, I believed theater and acting was mostly about learning your lines, and pretending ...

There are so many different temptations out there for everyone, whether it be food cravings, impulses to buy things, desire to quit something, or any other material item or idea that you really wish you could get/do. But most of the time, it's not...

I want to start off with the fact that I am personally not a very good dancer: but definitely one in learning. I have never found 'not knowing how to dance' a huge problem (except for in school dances, of course) until I started to do theater. 

...

We've all been in school, or are still in school, and understand that it is a system of constantly being told what to do and when to do it. You are taught discipline, to "not disrupt", and generally are discouraged to do things "your way", but to ...

To be honest, I am not sure at all how to get motivation, and the only thing keeping me going throughout the week is knowing that the weekend is coming. I know this kind of mindset probably doesn't help with getting things done efficiently, but ho...

Unlike many other students, I go to an international school in Asia. I've never been to a public American School, and the only other schools I've ever attended was 3 years of public Taiwanese school in elementary. 
Some of you might wonder how 'w...

A pen name is the perfect way to let others walk a mile in your shoes.  Open up while remaining mysterious.  Start the conversation you always wanted to have.  Enjoy the freedom to be yourself and let the world know what makes you tick.

Well...not exactly, but as long as you know what you're doing, it can easily be pulled off. 

One of the main things to make sure before you do any sort of (formal) public speaking: i.e speeches, presentations... you HAVE to know what you are ta...

Family, friends, food, festivities and just plain fun.  You're doing it.  Let's hear about it!  Everyone needs a pen name shaped just right to talk about our particular box of chocolates.

Sometimes the most important things can be the hardest to say.  Using a pen name gives you the freedom to share your feelings without the strings. To get things out. Plus, exuberance can be catching!  Your catharsis awaits.

You're here.  My Say is the perfect spot to post your first Scrivinor article.  Tell the world what's on your mind. Try on one of your new pen names and see how it fits.  Run some circles round your moon (or sun) and share what you discover.

Here I'm reviewing a great choice for book clubs and for discussion: The Good Sister by Gillian McAllister. It's a book about two sisters who suddenly find themselves divided by a tragedy. Martha's baby died while in the care of her sister, Becky....

I had a bad feeling this morning getting ready for my ride.
I broke my favorite sunglasses. Snapped the frame right in half when attempting to change the lenses.
Once on the road, I was sure a second dog was going to jump out after the first. ...
