2020 brought us Milo instant noodles, Nasi Lemak ice cream, and Teh Tarik carbonara. All of which are objectively gross combinations. Pineapple on pizza makes sense but these just don't. But every time I think things couldn't possibly get worse, they do. Meet the Oreo and Spam burger. Pretty much everything McDonald's churns out tends to be good. I'm not too sure about this one, though. The fast food joint […]

It seems like 2020 is a tough year to be a flower, too. Orchids are usually known to be beautiful, colorful, and unique flowers. However, this newly discovered species from Madagascar is anything but this: IMAGE: SpiritualismIt's this: IMAGE: New ScientistImagine if you were a plant and during your first time ever introducing yourself to the plant world, everyone gasps at how shockingly ugly you are. I'd feel pretty bad […]

I know that you already know this but 2020 was a dumpster fire of a year. I believe that has to be said because it reminds us to be grateful of the little joys we did have as a society this year. For me and I'm sure many others, food was a huge part of 2020. From lockdowns to working-from-home situations, this year kinda forced us to examine our food […]

Everyone is dealing with the pandemic in different ways. However, I'm not sure pranking those who are trying to make an honest living is the best way to go about it. Around 16 foodpanda riders were recently pranked as they all delivered food to the same address in Manila. Shortly after, a photo of the incident went viral on Facebook. The resident of the pinned address, Rome Vladimir Agito Cuevas, […]

Gender stereotypes. Some of them dictate our interpersonal relationships more than we think. They usually tend to be things we pick up in our early childhood or what authority figures such as our parents tell us along the way. They may seem harmless but they still very much exist and push outdated dating rules and gender roles onto couples. Some of the messages we've been told over the years are, […]

It's that time of the year. No, not Christmas and New Year season but rather the lull before Chinese New Year. It's the time where those celebrating the occasion prepare their homes and get some shopping done to ring in the holiday. For many CNY = family, gambling, and mahjong time. Therefore, I can't think of a better time to invest in a new mahjong set. It's not just any […]

COVID-19 vaccines aren't just here to take down the virus. Their new brand of technology has the potential to one day defeat conditions such as cancer or heart disease. As reported by Bloomberg, the vaccines from both Moderna and Pfizer use a genetic material called messenger RNA or mRNA to transform the body's cells into "vaccine factories."

Bhutan is known for being the world's happiest country but members of the LGBTQ community of Bhutan may not have been able to agree with that until now. The Bhutan Parliament recently approved a bill to legalize same-sex relations, making them the latest Asian nation to ease restrictions on gay relationships. Sections 213 and 214 of Bhutan's penal code had criminalized "unnatural sex" which was interpreted as gay and lesbian […]
