I literally screamed when I found out I had the opportunity to see Avril Lavigne in concert! Seriously. I grew up listening to her classics such as “Sk8ter Boi” and “Complicated.” And I know you guys did too, as every one of my friends went through that “Avril Lavigne phase” in life. Also this being my…
With Halloween less than a month away, let me share with you what NOT to do with your extra load of candy! From my convulsing stomach to yours! Enjoy! Warning: Coarse language
On Thanksgiving, it’s a day to count your blessings. Most families will enjoy a Thanksgiving feast and watch “Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving” – except for EpicMealTime. Instead, they have a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a PIG to feast upon. From my revolting stomach to…
Go see a FREE OUTDOOR FILM screening on the rooftop of the Alexander Calhoun Library! Raging human atrocities and massacres ravaged the African country of Liberia. This savage civil war knew no boundaries- villages were pillaged by child soldiers, innocent civilians were targeted by the rebels and government alike and terror trapped many fearful persons…
Contemporary Art. Being a lover of ancient Mediterranean art (mainly the ancient Egyptians and of the ancient Greeks), my visit to the Musee d’art contemporain in Montreal, Quebec can be boiled down to one word: bizarre.
First of all, the soul of any fundraiser is that it’s all about the heart. A fundraiser has to be from the heart and to the heart for it to work.

In the Cimetiere Mont Royal It has been my great luck to be able to practice some of my French with fellow blogger, WeiJia, in a trip to Montreal, and one of the first landmarks that we explored in Montreal was the Cimetiere Mont Royal. This cemetery is interestingly segregated by domination, with people of the Catholic,…
It was on a small pin that I intently focused my churning emotions of joy: the powerful and uplifting emblem of the Red Cross.
Book at least half a day off, or better yet, the whole day, when you plan to visit the Glenbow Museum. Five hours inside the wonderfully captivating and compelling Glenbow Museum was not enough for this history buff.

First of all, congratulations to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra for winning the 2011 Calgary White Hat Award for Top Attraction for Calgary! The CPO is truly an essential body in the thriving culture of Calgary! I must say that I have developed a new love for Liszt as a classical composer. The moment I heard…
San Francisco is one of the top destinations I have been to! The culture, the people and just the natural sights of this American city held me in wonder. A funny fact I learned about San Fran is that it doesn’t snow EVER (well, it has snowed only once since 1976… so I guess it’s…

I love music composed in Austria because it is usually known as warm, heartfelt and extremely moving. My favourite Austrian composer Beethoven was celebrated for his music that sensationally captured the spirit of Vienna.
