From my experience with Mother’s Day, I have learned that it can either bring out the best or the worst in us. It can leave us emotionally drained with memories and regrets that can be trapped in our hearts for a long time. Mother’s Day is an occasion that is worth celebrating. Conventionally, children surprise…
I recently started watching a new show on Netflix called The 100. I saw a magazine ad for this CW Network show awhile back and it really caught my eye. Ever since I found out it is also on Netflix (updated every Thursday!), and a book, I cannot stop talking about The 100! Plot: Earth…
On April 15, more than 300 were kidnapped from their schools that were located in Chibok, Nigeria. This horrid crime has accelerated through social media around the world. It was carried out by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram carried. You have probably heard of the #BringBackOurGirls campaign over the past couple days. Why did…

As I’ve posted about earlier, The Metamorphosis by the Alberta Children’s Hospital Youth Council occurred last week at the Inglewood Community Hall.

Recently, on my trip to Dubai, I had the pleasure of watching the sunset from the tallest building in the world. Spectacular could not even cover it. Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper in Dubai, is the tallest manmade structure in the world. At a staggering 839.8 m, it gives a 360 degree view of Dubai from…
Youth Week Calgary! It’s the time of the year where we can go out with friends and enjoy ourselves for free or for a cheap price! This Youth Week, I visited the Boys and Girls Club to view a screening of Back to the Future 2. The Keystone youth program prepared snacks and created a…
This weekend, there will be a youth expo in Cochrane, May 9 – 10 – and even though it technically falls outside of Youth Week Calgary, it’s still considered a Youth Week event. This expo is simply to have fun and showcase the many talents of Cochrane’s youth. The expo was started five years ago…
Last week, I talked about my predictions in the Western Conference. This week, I will be analyzing the Eastern Conference, and give my opinion as to who I think will win. Without any further ado, let’s get right into this! Initially, there were four games in the Conference, but now, its down to only two.…
While novels that transcend the boundaries of time, such as everything I have been reading lately in English, are utterly fantastic, I find it hard to resist one that is directed so specifically to a contemporary concept. It is not simply the incorporation of current technology or our ever-evolving set of colloquialisms, but a novel…
I attended the Youth Week event Retro Movie Night where we watched Back to the Future 2. However, it was also a throwback to the past because the Boys and Girls Club of Calgary are celebrating their 75th anniversary. Shown above is The Hangar, a Boys & Girls Club space that was constructed back…
Forget Elsa’s perpetual world of snow in Frozen; in Calgary, a perennial snowfall is reality. People complain about the snow at this time of year, yet, snow in the spring/summer season is old news for Calgarians. In July 15, 1999, a snowfall surprised Calgary during the Stampede. Just imagine actual snow falling into your snow…
