    Empire of Storms – Sarah J. Maas

    If any of you keep up to date with my Insta Stories, you would’ve noticed that I was a bawling mess whilst I was reading “Empire of Storms” by Sarah J. Maas. If not, here’s a snippet of my emotional ranting: I was a mess; a ball of emotions. The heart-ache I felt after reading…

  • The worrying crisis in the PN

    Malta’s opposition party, the Nationalist Party, has taken a beating over the past 6 years. Many have written about the internal power struggle and the crisis they’re in. I think they’re missing the point. I think the damage is deeper than that. I – Recent history Between 1987 and 2013, the Nationalist Party (PN) ruled for 26…

  • Government advertising is dangerous

    There’s been some fanfare in the Maltese national media lately about the government’s usage of social media adverts. It seems everyone is using social media these days, but I think there should be additional controls for governmental advertising. I Malta Today reported on social media advertising in the island state in November 2017. The report is…

    The Pros and Cons of Travel

    Hey there again! Think I’d only stop with one post, did you?  I’ve been meaning to make a post about this for a while, but I thought now was as good a time as any. If any of you follow me on Instagram or have seen my recent posts/stories on there (and my last one here),…

  • Malta is top of the list (That’s not a good thing)

    Malta is top of the list (That’s not a good thing)

    The European Union has provided its citizens with many opportunities. The four freedoms are often cited but freedom of movement is in my opinion the greatest of the advantages. Why do so few Maltese take advantage of it? Eurostat published a Labour Force survey in March of this year. There’s plenty of data to pore over if…

  • How Malta’s government is on the road to ruin

    Malta’s economy has long changed into a service economy. This change has long-term problems associated with our wellbeing. I fear the government has not prepared for this. Definitions A service economy is an economy where services make up a larger share than goods. In simple terms, if a country produces more services than it manufactures goods, then…

  • Roar – Cora Carmack

    Roar – Cora Carmack

    For this week’s post, I shall be reviewing the lovely ‘Roar’ by Cora Carmack. This book has been on my TBR pile for way too long, and since I’ve been getting back into Fantasy reads recently, I thought I would give this one a shot. And let me tell you, this book is a must-read!…

  • Delia vs Muscat – Who is the best?

    I wrote about the Prime Minister’s hidden manipulative tactics, based on his persuasive Egrant press conference. What would I find if I analysed the Leader of the Opposition? ? If you haven’t seen my previous article – Ways the Prime Minister brainwashed you – I wrote about the manipulative signals the Prime Minister used in his Egrant press…

  • How to tell you’ve been manipulated

    Like many people in Malta, I watched the Prime Minister’s press conference last week. One thing which struck me was how manipulative it was. If you believed the Prime Minister, you may want to read this article to understand how he brainwashed you. I For those of you who haven’t followed Maltese news, here’s some context.…

  • Milk and Honey – Rupi Kaur

    Milk and Honey – Rupi Kaur

    For my first review, I would like to start off with “milk and honey” by Rupi Kaur. This book was nothing short of brilliant and inspiring and it left me itching to grab a pen and write. The imagery present was raw and vivid and her message of self-love and acceptance was very uplifting. It made me stop and…
