It's May 5th, amigos! Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
Cinco de Mayo has now become an annual celebration of Mexican American culture. To improve relations with Latin American countries, U.S. president F.D.R. paved the way for Cinco de Mayo to become a mainstream American celebration. Cinco de Mayo is often confused with Mexican Independence Day, but it actually commemorates a significant battle during the Franco-Mexican War that took place in a small town called Puebla. The Mexican Army, who were considered the underdogs, ended up overtaking the French and came out victorious.
So how is this day significant to me? It’s the day (May 5th, 2023) that I got most, if not all of my breast cancer out of me through my double mastectomy surgery and my lymph nodes tested negative for having spread cancer to other parts of my body. I like to think that I was the underdog, who ended up overtaking Cancer and came out victorious.
And today, to celebrate the one year anniversary of that victory, we went out to grab lunch at a Mexican restaurant- Nada. It was a rainy day and Shriya's softball games got cancelled, so it worked out perfectly! I was able to go enjoy our little celebration with the two people that have been my sword and shield during my brutal battle- my daughter, Shriya and my husband, Arvind.

My friend just told me that some of y'all motherfuckers are bashing Christina on Twitter because of yesterday's episode and my question for you is - Are you fucking mental? Like do you require some sort of professional help? Your mom didn't love you, kiss you? What? What is it?
Apparently there's been a pig on Twitter who said that Christina should start searching for a new job because as soon as Kirk takes over the show, her career as La'an is over.
I am here to remind you all that Christina is an actress and that she was doing her job! A job that the writers and directors told her to do. It's not as if she woke up randomly and decided "hmmm, La'an is gonna shag Kirk". And if the idiots such as yourself can't take the fact that the writers are not bending themselves backwards to write the show the way you wanna see it, then don't watch the fucking show. What does Christina as an actress have to do with anything that writers scribble down in a script?
And need I remind you all that this show is most certanly NOT about Kirk because there is good 7 years before he even takes over the Enterpise.
And if your fragile egos can't take it, then kindly fuck off. Don't go harassing the actors that are simply trying to do their jobs and don't spoil the experience for the people who are trying to enjoy it, both the normal folks and the actors themselves.
