Aside from all the panels and contests that take place at Otafest, one of the major hit points is the amount of amazing cosplay that people bring in. Although it’s held in Calgary, people travel from all over just to attend this convention (which should give you an idea of how popular it is and…
Socially awkward moments happen to everyone, especially me. According to some friends of mine I am very socially awkward, so awkward that it’s hard for me to keep a conversation going with a person. Being socially awkward is something that hasn’t been a major problem for me, but I still show it because I find…
In today’s newest trend for viral videos, this 30 second video I found is sure to warm your heart and leave you wishing you were a kid again. I find that when we are young, we tend to be very open to our parents or those we are close to about our problems and questions.…

Prom is just around the corner, and if you’re like me, you always buy everything last minute and can’t spend a ton of money. I noticed that there are hardly any stores in Calgary that sell prom/grad dresses for a decent price, but have no fear, that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist! I went…
Clueless is a nostalgic 90s movie that gives us a look into the fabulous lives of rich American teenagers. Clueless centres around a 16-year-old girl named Cher. Cher is popular, rich, and hot (the three things that matter most to an upper-class high school girl). Cher and her best friend Dionne must juggle the weight of…

Eating healthy can sometimes seem like a chore, but just taking a few extra minutes every day to prepare a healthy lunch can help you for years to come. The first one is really simple; just bring you favorite fruit to snack on! Eating fruits such as apples, bananas, plums, etc., can be beneficial to…
Hi everybody! I have another event post here for you; similar to the Calgary Expo, it’s Otafest! Otafest is essentially the same as the Calgary Expo, but with the focus being on Japanese anime and manga. This year I was blessed with a sacred media pass – one of the many passes that allows you…
This is a bad advice column. Choosing the university to attend next year was a difficult decision for me–and I don’t think there’s a way to make sure you choose the best one. Or perhaps you can, but only for a certain piece of criteria. Luckily, likely a number of you graduating this year have…
Warning: The food you may encounter at the Tropical Delight Noodle House is exceptionally delicious and definitely an explosion on your taste buds. Such a bold claim! I’m willing to make it. This Malaysian noodle house is located within the northeast side of Calgary. It’s location is just off McKnight and 12 St NE (4604…
Shruthi Bandi, a Grade 8 student competing in the A.P.E.I. national science fair, won gold for her work in antibiotics. Through her research, she has discovered that not all bacteria are as menacing as they seem. In fact, Bandi has found that some micro-organisms can be used to defeat two common infections.

In recent weeks, my fellow bloggers Malika and Audrey have shared playlists that emulate happiness, an easy-going attitude and a certain letting go of inhibitions.

In a way, I think the sight of Mt. Fuji in the distance from Tokyo is a parallel to the scenery the Rocky Mountains provide for Calgary. Let’s take a look at that sunset. Maybe we’ll see an experience like that perhaps one day? Check out the timelapse archive here.
