While browsing through the latest collection of posts from my fellow bloggers, I chanced upon one by Tonny. The blog referred to the article published by Macleans named “Too Asian.” Within a few minutes, years of collected respect for the magazine was lost and Macleans was reduced to the same level as money-grabbing tabloids. The…
The Four Seasons, the most popular Baroque music in history, was composed by Antonio Vivaldi in 1723. He was an Italian Baroque composer who was born in 1678 in Venice. He is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin. While I was researching The Four seasons, the beautiful melody and themes entranced…
Friday the 13th was not as scary as I thought it was going to be. It had a very good plot and the movie kept you guessing about what was going to happen next. The movie involves a group of friends that go missing when they go on a camping trip. Then the brother of…
Like many graduating high-schoolers, I will be applying for post-secondary education this year. In fact, compared to some of my colleagues, I am already one of the late ones to apply. This rush to grab available spots in universities is perhaps why one of the newest articles in Maclean’s magazine has caught my eye. The…
This well-known portrait of Mozart isn’t what Mozart actually looked like, due to the fact that his portrait was painted only after his death and using details given by his wife. Prior to a Mozart celebration concert by the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO), Kenneth Delong, music critic, and the Calgary Philharmonic Chorus gave a brief introduction…

This morning I was listening to the radio station 98.5, when I ran into a very interesting discussion amoung the hosts. Today is Nation Unfriend Day. It is basically a day where on Facebook, you unfriend unnecessary people under these conditions: 1. You hate them 2. You have no idea who they are (why would…

On Thursday Oct. 28, I went to the Calgary Flames vs. Colorado Avalanches game. This game was Craig Conroy’s 1,000th game and he received a cheque for this milestone. He donated it to a charity organization called Conroy Charities, which funds sports programs for children. Both teams started on the ice with rigor and force.…
The brokerage system of South Korea was from Japan where the artists are completely protected. Entertainment companies will list out the conditions and wages very clearly before any agreement to reduce the chance of an accident. With this, according to an inside source, South Korea artist’s contracts are harsh to a point that we can’t…
So, a little game known as Call of Duty: Black Ops (maybe you’ve heard of it) came out last Tuesday, and after playing through all of its main features, I believe I am ready to review it. Unlike with the Halo franchise, I am relatively new to the CoD series. Therefore, my skills aren’t exactly…
In the Spring of 2010, Harvard medicine released an article profiling David Edward’s unique inhaler invention. Edwards developed something that works similar to an inhaler, but with a terrific twist. Read it for yourself here.
First things first, I am not endorsing gambling of any sort. I am simply celebrating a noteworthy Canadian with a touching story. For this reason, I am not going to talk specifically about his play in the tournament nor provide any videos on his winning play. Johnathan Duhamel is the subject of our discussions today.…
