Throughout my journey, I’ve experienced sleepless nights, bouts of restless pacing, and the constant flutter of butterflies in my stomach. These are testaments to my unwavering dedication to this significant opportunity — where I get to contribute to my country’s administ...

One of my greatest loves and passions is video games. Starting back when I was four years old (I’m 38 today), I remember my family visiting my uncle’s house. My oldest cousin and my brother, whom were young teenagers, were playing the Atari 2600. A couple of the games they played that ca...

This isn’t a typical review as you may see on other gaming websites. As mentioned in the bio of Pixel Parables, the publication won’t be doing game reviews but I thought commentary on collector’s editions or merchandise I have purchased could be useful. This will be similar in styl...

In this, the year of the RPG, I think that Final Fantasy XVI deserves more recognition. It started strong right out of the gate, with an explosive 3 million copy first week and tons of hype all around the internet in the gaming community. But it dropped off just as quickly as the beleaguer...

One of my close friends stays in Chicago. While I was pursuing PhD in New York, he paid a visit to me. With all my friends we had a great time. This time was different, as back then we were all students. When I visited him, he was staying in Chicago with his family and I was planning to return to In...

The story that I want to tell with my essay is how my perception of walking has changed through the many walks I went on in Chicago. Growing up with overprotective parents, I was always told to walk with someone, aware of the dangers around me. Going on several walks alone throughout this course was...

I’m afraid I have to start this edition of The Lowdown with some very sad news. After 2-and-a-bit years of weekly updates from the grime scene, including premieres from amazing artists, exclusive interviews and lots more, this will be the last ever edition of The Lowdown. Thank you for r...

The ancient Roman sun bade farewell in splendid theatrics, bathing the city in a cascade of amber and gold. Shadows danced upon the city’s grandeur — the looming aqueducts, the majestic Colosseum taking shape, and the cobbled roads leading to the vast expanse of the countryside. Somewher...

I have come across some disabled individuals, and their stories of how society sees and judges them are something to worry about. Before I explain in detail, most people who are disabled are innocent of their conditions, as we all know; some were born the way they are while some are not, primaril...

There you were, looking at me with those big eyes at the club right after the pandemic — my first time going out. You had this little guy vibe with baggy, worn-out clothes, a punk style that stood out in the gay scene surrounded by RuPaul’s Drag Race fans. I wasn’t looking for a ho...

Something’s got to give — and it can’t be the camel’s back again. This lunar cycle thus far, beginning with the New Moon in Capricorn on January 11, has been full of fireworks and frustration. If we thought people were being responsible before, we’ve since been shown...
