I love cupcakes. This month alone I can safely say I have had the privilege of having six, AND the month is not even halfway through! (I think this should be the definition of success) So of all the cupcakes I’ve had this month which one was the cutest? Since it is coming up on…
I personally think that the default notification light setting on most phones don’t do the LED light justice. On my Nexus 5, the fact that white is the default colour used for every new notification almost seems to hinder the light’s multicolour capabilities. Thankfully, third-party apps are there to fill this disparity – I prefer using…
If you haven’t played Flappy Bird yet, then I have one piece of advice: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. Flappy Bird is an app created by Dong Nguyen. The game itself consists of a bird (although it looks more like a mix between a chicken nugget and a fish) that you tap the screen in…
1. Dubai, UAE This fascinating city has many amazing tourist attractions that will blow your mind away. Their architecture is beyond compare to that of any other city.

As many people already know, the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics will be beginning this Friday, Feb. 7. The wait for this Olympics has been rather tense, with controversies surrounding Russian homosexual intolerance and dangerous shootings, particularly some advances in completely boycotting the games this year. Despite some issues, the games will proudly continue on. After…
Move over Angry Birds, there’s a new bird in town! Nearly a week ago, the indie game Flappy Bird was released on the Google Play Store, and yet in a matter of days it found itself at the top of the free charts with over 10 million downloads. Why the sudden smash hit, you ask?…
Capture things at unusual times: Whenever you want to impress people, this is always a good place to start. It is really amazing to see something usual in an unusual state, people don’t see these things everyday captured by artwork; whether as a photograph or as a painting or anything else. It really brings us…
I have been getting this monthly subscription box called Nerdblock for three months now, and it is super cool. This box that is shipped right to your door every month is filled to the brim with cool merchandise from all your favorite nerdy franchises, such as Marvel and Nintendo! Plus it always comes with a…
Long time no see. I’m getting quite sloppy with keeping up with blogging so feel free to give me an update, you guys. Writing about volunteering will sure get me back into shape and back into that enthusiasm. Youth Are Awesome is, of course, a program of Youth Central, but there are a ton more, as…
Joy of all joys. In just a matter of days, the day that lonely single people everywhere loathe will be upon us. But do you really need a significant other to enjoy your Valentine’s Day? I think not. First of all, aside from all the flowers, chocolates and cheesy little cards, Feb. 14 is just…

Torchwood, as introduced in Series 2 of Doctor Who, covers the escapades and adventures of an organization created to investigate alien life and technology to “arm the human race for the future.” While it’s sci-fi…
A Saturday morning, I am dressed in my most comfortable flannel jammies, prepared to waste away the day with some much needed R & R. But to my distress, a roaring ruckus arises from a snow plow. My annoyance escalates as it has taken nearly two weeks for the snow to be fully plowed in…
If you haven’t realized it yet, the day of hearts and chocolate comes in less than two weeks. Valentine’s Day instils a certain warmness in the cold February air (thanks polar vortex). Something about Valentine’s Day just gets me thinking in pink and red. I have a strong urge to buy heart shaped chocolates by…
