The fun stuff. Calgary has a ton of amazing stuff that happens in our city. Reviews of new movies, or albums, art shows or news about sports.
On Thursday, December 1, I got the wonderful opportunity to go and see Theatre Calgary’s production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. I recommend that you go and see this as soon as possible, it’s really worth it! The next day, I was lucky enough to talk with the star of this amazing production, Stephen…
1 With projects,tests and other stressful activities, it’s really hard to get in the Christmas spirit and to not feel like a total Grinch who hates the world. It’s even harder to feel the Christmas spirit when there are only three dollars to your name while all the new shiny gadgets like IPads are…
As winter break approaches, the luckiest of us will be preparing and getting excited to go on their tropical beach excursions.

On November 27, one of my all-time favourite anime — Code Geass— announced a sequel to their first and…
Captured during my adventures at Amboseli National Park, Kenya. Often times body language speaks louder than words and when life gets busy we rarely take a minute to reflect and breathe. Every creature needs moments of stillness, where we can find our calm and ground ourselves amidst the chaos. Even the “monk-eys” are meditating to…
This revelation came to me about two minutes before I started wring this post. That’s right, we’re on our last month until 2017. And because this year has been so unique, I’ve decided to list my highlights of 2016. 1. Olympics: This year’s Olympics in Rio, Brazil, was certainly unlike any that has ever happened…

For as long as I can remember Harry Potter has been in my life. It started with my dad taking time at night to read the books before I could and then myself going on to reading all 7 another 3 times through. I grew up surrounded by the story and saw each movie that…
