Those who never risk will never lose. But neither will they grow. Those who never feel will never cry. But neither will they laugh. Laughter is the best form of medicine. For when we laugh, we neither think, grieve, or feel. Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to…
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. It is never too late to start something new. We do not stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing. A person is not old until regrets take the place of…
I stumbled across an intriguing website very recently (a few minutes before writing this post, heh). I don’t think I can say much about it as it’s rather self-explanatory. This website isn’t all that old or all that new… it was created in October 2006 by David Bleja, a “multimedia designer, or digital artist, or…
Remember when you were a wee lil’ kid? You used to get these magical sticks of colour that you could use to vandalize your school yard… nah, just jokes, we definitely didn’t vandalize (didn’t, as well as don’t, juuust to clear that up). Anyway, there are some amazing artists out there who have taken it…
I do quite enjoy acronyms, heh. But hey, do you remember WFW? Alice and I’s Warm Fuzzy Websites (short) saga? ; ) Awesome, now keep remembering…does GMH ring a bell? GivesMeHope was the first of four websites we introduced! Anyways, I have exciting news to pass along. This fall, you can physically hold some of…
Yes, I kid you not, I like Robert Frost so much that I actually do have an entire page in my book filled with quotes from him… so here is an entire blog dedicated to those quotes. I’ve heard that he seemed to be a bit of a jerk while he was alive, however, I’m…
I’ve been keeping a book of quotes for quite some time now…which means I’m next to always on the lookout for more quotes to add. They’re not particularly categorized in my book like I will be categorizing them here (and in my future posts), but I thought I’d share some of the ones I quite…
No, I’m not talking literally. =] I’m talking about my new phone…the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10! ♥ Remember back in April when I blogged about phones? Well, this post is basically my follow up to that one. I finally picked between the two phones I was considering (the Yari and the X10) and got the…
We all have those songs that we love to listen to…those songs that just get us going when we need that extra push. Whether you like the lyrics, the beat, or the music, something about the song just lifts you up. For me, this song is currently The Sky’s The Limit. Can you guess the…
I’m sure that most of us have had to write English or Social Studies papers this past week…and because of that fact, I was reminded of an article I read a while ago about spelling. “English spelling “truely atrosious”, says academic“ This article basically highlights how…unique (to put it nicely) the English language is. Don’t…
I stumbled across the other day… and for some reason it really stuck with me. It is a painting done by Andre Jordan, titled Extraordinary Mind. If this catches your interest, you can check out the rest of his work on his website. I actually own his book, Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now, although I’m…
So as you may have noticed (or may not have noticed if you happen to be out of touch with the world), Calgary is currently experiencing some…fantastic weather! Don’t get me wrong, I actually quite like the rain. I mean, what’s not to like? The rain… …creates that damp earth smell (mmm, mother nature)… …leaves…
You know the one I’m talking about… Those black, beady eyes? That brown, fuzzy body? Those sharp, white teeth? That big, bright red mouth? I’m sure you’ve all seen him before…but you probably didn’t know his name. Here’s a photo to jog your memory: But don’t be scared off by his angry looking mouth, he’s…
Personally, I say bay-gul. I don’t know many people who actually say bah-gul…if any at all! But however you say it doesn’t really matter. At The Great Canadian Bagel, a bay-gul or a bah-gul both taste awesome! =] There is a TGCB store a block away from my school, but I only started visiting it…
Have you heard about the I Love Science Video Contest? The Perimeter Institute (for Theoretical Sciences) is hosting this video contest to reach out to youth in Canadian high schools who are passionate about science. All you need to do is make a video that’s 30 seconds long (or shorter!) about why you love science.…
