I Haiku For You

24 02 2009

Insert nonsense here

Following five-seven-five

I haiku for you

“Talagang crazy”

So why do I use haiku?

To count my fingers.

So, I’m a virgin

at this online blog-making

My roommate’s better

Why not look below

I feel more comfortable

Describing paintings:

On a stool, I sit

Staring at the bland plastic

I want life…color!

My brother is free

To wear the sun and ocean

Dad, your son seeks you

Brush, split me in two

Generate a perspective

warped to call my own!

This is me, take it

Maganda brings me here to

Haiku for you

In Love Again

20 02 2009

Periodically throughout the next few months, you’ll have the pleasure of hearing from a student in Maganda’s Production DeCal class, the lovely folks who use their mad, creative skills to design and perfect the aesthetic quality of our magazine. Below is the first feature from one of our talented students. Keep reading to see what inspires her.


Greetings, all.

I’ve always found it interesting and slightly off putting when once-charming entities lose their seductive quality. For example, when I first arrived to Berkeley I was smitten. I was drawn to Berkeley’s gritty smokeshops, to its impassioned street performers, its unique street vendors, its beat-up sidewalks, its shocking art stores; I was drawn to it.

When I say that Berkeley had me smitten, I don’t mean that I was pleasantly delighted. No no no, I was enamored, infatuated, hypnotized by its presence. My heart would skip a beat, I’d get all flustered, and I’d be sure to laugh at all its jokes — Read the rest of this entry »





MICKEY MOUSE REMIX

19 02 2009

I was browsing The Hundreds Blog and came across this entry about BLOC28. BLOC28 by Disney is apparently this collaboration between Disney and some dope street artists. From shirts to hats to paintings and even to guitars, artists totally bring a fresh new perspective to the famed mouse.picture-3Check out the site at

I Love You…Not! An Open Mic

7 02 2009
I Love You... Not

I Love You... Not

Oh yes.

Feb 14th is drawing near, meaning flowers, chocolates, and/or sad faces for the day known by some as Valentine’s Day and by the less enthused, Single Awareness Day (S.A.D.).

Whether you’re aware of your single-ness or find S.A.D. anything but, bring your lovely self (and your boo if you have one) to celebrate the holiday with {m}aganda on Thursday, February 12th at 7pm in 56 Barrows.

Join us for some poetry, music, and who knows what else, courtesy of your fellow lovers and haters and the blissfully indifferent.

So dress up, stop by, and if nothing else, we can be your Valentine.
