Hola to one and all. On this fine Tuesday, I’d like to share with you one of my favourite songs, Still Sound by Toro Y Moi. [youtube 0Gqh4e1S6j0] I always feel happy when I listen to this song. It gives off pleasing vibes and makes me want to dance and get into the groove. The video is great…
My absolute all time favourite breakfast place in the entire world is OEB (Over Easy Breakfast) on Edmonton Trail. Locally owned and operated, the breakfast place’s “belief is to change the breakfast scene one dish at the time, by working together with local producers and entrepreneurs, to achieve the ultimate in breakfast dining.” The diner…
The NYE just passed a few days ago, and I am pretty sure that you already have made a list of new year resolutions that you are so pumped to achieve in the brand new year of 2013. For me, I have a habit of keeping diary entries and on this NYE, I “accidentally” came…
SURPRISE! After all this time when our parents, teachers, and other adults told us that school is the most fantastic institution ever created (although us youth have differing opinions…), turns out, the traditional school setting could be killing creativity! To begin, why don’t we examine the most basic principle of school. It’s my belief that…
12 Minutes from west Calgary to downtown? That’s what Transit says in their West LRT advertising as it finally opened on December 10th. I will become a frequent user of this line as I live in this area of the city, so I’m very excited about the opening. Does the travel times actually…
They say our teenage years will be the time of our lives but does that mean once we are mature the fun will mysteriously disappear? Well in my case I hope it doesn’t because I believe we live to have fun and enjoy. Let’s be serious, do people work all their lives for nothing? No…
Well, another year has gone by faster than we want to believe. It is hard to comprehend the significance of each passing day on its own, but string the hours together in groups of 365 (or 366) and the reality of the speed at which our lives advance dawns sadly upon us. Anyways, philosophical rambling…
Guess what everyone? I’m in Vegas! For the past week and a half, I’ve been staying in the Bellagio hotel on main street. This is the first time I’ve ever visited sin city and I have to say that the idea of leaving anytime soon does not appeal to me. Between the beautiful chocolate fountains…
Quite a lot has passed in the last year: from the Kony controversy to the release of the Hunger Games movie, the London Summer Olympics, Psy and Carly Rae Jepsen’s off-the-charts music videos; Felix Baumgartner’s supersonic free fall, the American election… YouTube collaborated with artists to celebrate the most viewed videos of 2012, a nice rewind of the…
I can relate to the saying ‘out with the old and in with the new’, but not when it comes to music. Don’t get me wrong, there are so many really talented new artists out there (Ed Sheeran forever~), but I think we’re starting to forget about the beautiful music of the past few decades.…
There isn’t a single spot in your brain that is reserved for “the Winter Holidays,” instead, you would remember the “Winter Holidays” by the smell of hot chocolate or eggnog, the sudden jingle of bells, or warmth given off by the heat of a warm fire. Memories are created and triggered by your senses. These…
“Inside every cynical individual is a disappointed idealist.” —George Carlin It really is disappointing when you can’t trust those around you. But the truth is, people lie. Whether it serves self-interest or just erupts from impulse, it’s difficult to take back a lie once it has been spoken. Although lying might not always be a…
If you were to ask a random non-Asian person “what is Kpop?” before this July, chances are you are probably would not get the correct answer. However, thanks to the hilarious and extremely talented Korean singer/performer Psy, a lot of people outside Asia have begun to take a look at the Kpop genre, because of the…
This is an inspirational video by a genius and humble man, Steve Jobs. In this interview at Stanford University, he talks about experiences in his life that have made him who he is. He talks about death and how to follow your heart. He talks about perseverance and living to make yourself happy. This interview teared me up and…
Good Morning! (Or afternoon, or night, whenever you’re reading this post) I bet I’ll miss Photography class the most when this semester ends (January is approaching so soon!), since it’s a lot of fun taking lots of photos around the school to complete assignments. Well, my school isn’t a very good place to take stunning…
