If you're looking for ways to send help directly to the frontlines, our friend, a doctor from PGH, is asking for food donations and personal protective equipment (PPEs like masks, gowns, goggles) for doctors and medical staff. Kindly send them over to the PGH Department of Pediatrics. And of course, all your prayers will be of great help. We'll get through this together. Thank you!

From playing Dick van Dyke’s spunky TV wife, to her performance as a grieving mother feigning normalcy in Ordinary People, MTM was one-of-a-kind. Ordinary People was such an influential film for me, and came at a time in my life when it resonated the most.

So thank you for that, Mary Tyler Moore, and for producing another one of my favorite shows of all time, Remington Steele.

The Liz Lemons of the world owe you a great deal.

Most preteens my age were probably watching MTV, but some like me were glued to Turner Classic Movies. From the moment I saw Singin’ in the Rain, it was inevitable. I knew, deep down, that I wanted to make movies.

Many years later, armed with a film degree and a tap dancing PE class that I nearly failed, I still haven’t achieved that dream. But for you Debbie, I’ll keep it alive.

There are only a few movies that come into our lives at the right place, at the right time. For me, it was Star Wars in 1997. I walked into that movie house as a 9-year-old and walked out a different person, forever changed. For the trolls who say that there is no place for women in space, then Carrie Fisher is exhibit A.

Her demise* today is heart-wrenching, to say the least. But if the Force is truly strong in me, then maybe it’s a reminder that, while some things may pass, dreams must live on.

The greatest heroine in the galaxy was also a brilliant writer, a great humorist, and an advocate for mental health. She was fluent in French and was a wonderful singer like her parents.

Here she is singing with her mom Debbie, who like her was 19 when she starred in her breakthrough role, in Singin’ in the Rain (another all-time fave).

Rest in peace, Princess. May the Force be with you.

*In keeping with her wishes, Carrie Fisher died at age 60, drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra.

Throwback Thursday: 25 February 1986

Thirty years ago, the most-watched show on American TV was The Cosby Show. Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know” was number one in the Billboard Hot 100.

And in the Philippines, people rallied together to topple a dictatorship, so that Filipinos like me, born a year later, would be free to express any thought and opinion. Even on Tumblr.

“I think I missed hip-hop.”

And generally the pop culture of the past two decades.

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. - Atticus Finch

When I was about 9 or 10, my father started noticing my growing obsession with The Beatles. So he took me to the neighborhood CD rental store, and picked out this album -- the very first Beatles record I listened to in it's entirety -- changing and redefining my life forever.
