Personally, I found Graduation to be a little expensive (which is why my friends and I had a delicious dinner at Bolero instead of a $70 banquet), especially for girls. I know dressing up is super important, paying for make-up, the dress and flowers/decorations. So to help you save some money, your local library has decided to host a great event!
On March 3 at Bowness Library and March 10 at Village Square Library, you can find yourself a snazzy dress that was donated. Dresses are lined against the walls of the library and girls are able to try and take them home completely free! Register here for your spot to get a dress this year!
They also have two designers present who will give the girls tips on how to remake or update their dresses, or even just how to tailor them. Their designers are super awesome, super talented and super stylish!
Last year I went to this event at the Village Square Library and I saw some friends in really pretty dresses! Since I’m a really tiny girl, finding a nice dress was difficult but it was still a fun day. I warn you: when your number is called up, grab as many dresses as you can because they disappear quickly! Don’t try them on until after you’ve found semi-decent dresses because girls can be aggressive about picking them!
Also, since there weren’t a lot of attendees, girls were allowed to take two dresses home! So if you’re free on March 3 or 10, then register for this event and enjoy your dresses, ladies!
Do you like math, numbers, history, and or science? If yes, then you and I have a lot in common! I have recently found a YouTube channel by the name Numberphile which I think you will really enjoy. What do the numberphiles do? They make these extremely cool and educative videos that basically focus on special numbers and explore them. They talk about the history of that number, its applications, and what makes that number interesting!
These guys have truly opened my eyes to the never ending universe of numbers, so check them out!

It’s really quite a mystery… for the continent that reaches an astonishing freezing temperature of −89.2 °C, how are liquid lakes still present on Antartica?
The answer, surprisingly, is quite simple – the lake is underground. Below the icy glaciers of the massive White Continent lie around 300 sub-glacial lakes. Due to geothermal heat and pressure, these lakes stay cozy all year long, and form part of a massive ecosystem under the ice. Lake Vostok, the largest one of them all, has just recently been uncovered. After over 20 years of hard drilling, a Russian team has finally “broken the ice” with this 15,000 square km large body of water. This lake is absolutely enormous, and reaches depths of over 800m, even larger than Lake Ontario!
Lake Vostok
This is a huge accomplishment for the Russian team. Lake Vostok is both huge and isolated, meaning that there might be hundreds of new species evolving and devloping secluded from the outside world. With the excavation of this lake, the scientific world gains a bit more knowledge as to the mysteries of the world.
Vostok Station
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. We already have a massive amount of knowledge amongst us, but we only know so little when compared to the things unknown. When will we be able to conquer our seemingly-insatiable curiosity? I’m sorry to sound like a pessimist, but instead of looking after the millions living in poverty, we’re undertaking mad animal hunts, or digging up dirt to find old pots. I truly appreciate science. But isn’t it more important to deal with all the issues with our planet that we are already conscious of? It seems to me that the human race is investing more and more into the unknown, because finishing difficult tasks is just so offputting… why don’t we put aside world hunger and poverty to play in the dirt? The pursuit of information is captivating, and has no time restrictions. But the need to heal the world is dire.
For now, let’s all focus on the never freezing lakes of Antarctica – the rest of the world can wait.

Are you tired of being devastatingly lonely? Are happy couples depressing you with their excessive cuteness? Well, that should not be the case, because being single on Valentine’s Day is actually extremely fun and totally not pathetic at all! If you’re not convinced yet, then take a look at the following list, because by the end, I guarantee you’ll want to be single every Valentine’s Day.
You don’t have to impress anyone. Just imagine all the time you waste by trying to look good, be smart, or act funny for potential significant others, and not to mention the effort needed when you have a significant other! Being single allows you to be yourself, instead of some attractive, humorous, totally fake person.
Being alone is inexpensive. Things ain’t cheap in the world, especially when you need to constantly buy useless treats and trinkets for others! Seriously, like your Valentine is going to keep that Spongebob Squarepants wind-up toy you gave them last year.
No annoying/clingy text messages. Those late-night Tiny Tower notifications are obnoxious enough; do you really want to deal with talking to someone at 2 a.m. the night before your calculus exam? No, didn’t think so.
Totally worth it.
More time for homework, friends, and watching the Youth Week video.Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is extremely time-consuming. A single life is a fun life filled with studying and platonic social interaction!
No minimal hygiene required. I’m pretty sure we’re not the only ones who are sick of all this showering and teeth-brushing. Avoiding intimate encounters with others means that you may never have to bathe again, meaning even more time to watch the Youth Week video!
More money for frozen yogurt, Flames tickets, cat portraits, or whatever else you like to spend your hard-earned dollars on. This ties into the “no having to waste money on others” point, but who doesn’t enjoy selfish and impractical consumerism?
Quality “me time.” Going to the spa with your Valentine would just be awkward. In fact, being wrapped in seaweed is awkward enough alone. Why not ditch the romance and just go for the mani-pedi instead?
It’s okay to Facebook creep attractive people. We all do it, don’t even lie. Being single enables you to engage in such sneaky behaviour guilt-free!
No listening to your significant other whine about things you couldn’t care less about. People are individualist by nature, and therefore it’s only natural that you should want to tune out whatever your Valentine is ranting about now. If you don’t have a significant other, silence is even easier to achieve since you’re always alone!
Now that's love.
No fights that make you sad. It’s better to have never loved at all than to have loved and been yelled at.
Cheaper phone bills. With significantly fewer phone conversations, you can finally get rid of that lame unlimited text plan and put $10 a month towards something valuable, such as a life-sized Edward Cullen cardboard cut-out!
Sweats always fit. In the life of a single person, flattering jeans are completely unnecessary! Since you are too busy with your exciting single life to worry about attracting soulmates, you can pull out those old University of Montana sweatpants that you stole from the school locker room floor in eighth grade and wear those puppies like they’re the only pants you own!
Isn't that nice? Don't you wish that was you? ...I don't have any sort of unusual obsession with cats... I promise.
There’s more space. Ever been sitting on the couch next to a significant other and wishing they would just move to the floor? You need your legroom! In the world of Being Single, you’re allowed to stretch out and put your feet up wherever you choose. Oh, the liberation!
Who needs love? Love is an overrated form of friendship which discourages friendship with others! Be free of those monogamous chains and be asexual! It’s all the rage among fungi (and we’re talking about the fungi that sit at the popular table. Yeah.)
If you are a believer in love, find yourself someone who will never upset or leave you. Like a fish. Fish make quite good significant others, and you don’t even have to clean up after them when they go to the bathroom.
See? We’re not sad, lonely, or pathetic! Not at all!

Being Chinese in heritage, it was only natural that I watch the the annual CCTV New Year’s Gala with my family come Chinese New Year. In a nutshell, the New Year’s Gala is a ginormous compilation of Chinese art, dance, acrobatics, song, and comedy (with the occasional foreign act – this year there was a Russian ballet). An enormous amount of effort, time and money go into it, and each year it never fails to impress and bedazzle me. This year, one of the performances that really stood out was a dance entitled the “Love of the Peacocks.” Yang Liping, the female dancer in this act, is one of the foremost folk dancers in China at the age of 54. She has studied the movements of the peacock for decades, and together with her partner, they have created a beautiful, ethereal piece where the movements of the two dancers ripple and flow like wind across the water. The soft, lush lighting of the stage further encapsulates this almost supernatural atmosphere, transporting the viewers into a strange and mysterious world. It’s a wonderful piece of art, and don’t be surprised if chills run down your back as you watch. Enjoy!
Where has the traditional value of holidays gone? Is Christmas just a day where you receive gifts, a day that precedes another day you can buy more gifts for cheaper? Is Halloween just a day where girls can dress up as hairless bunnies? And is Valentine’s Day just a day forcing boyfriends to do something romantic for their girlfriends? I mean, Carrie does bring up good points in her blog about Valentine’s day (click here to read) but maybe we’re missing something else.
February doesn’t just call for the celebration of love, but for the single individuals to bring up “Singles Awareness day.” People blog and tweet saying “screw Valentine’s day” or “forever alone.” It may not be the greatest feeling knowing you’re alone and not having a significant other to spend the day with, but why do people have to be so bitter about it? Maybe you do deserve to be single, I mean, who wants to date a cynical and bitter whiner? And if you can’t be happy with yourself, how can you expect to be happy with someone else? Somebody else should not be your sole source of happiness; it’s something you must find within yourself then share with another. Just because you know other people are dating, it does not mean you need to find yourself a date also.
For those who aren’t single, Valentine’s Day is really special. And I know that girls say that guys should be treating them on a regular basis, and that’s true to a certain extent. While it’s important that both the boyfriend and girlfriend (or wife and husband) show one another that they still care, sometimes personal issues, school, and work can get in the way. It’s not always possible to take someone out on a special date to an expensive restaurant, because maybe they’re short on money or time. So Valentine’s Day is that one day that serves as a reminder that love has brought them together, they can celebrate their being together, and say lovey dovey corny things to one another. And what’s wrong with that?
This Valentine’s Day, if you have someone special in your life, go out or stay home and let them know you care. And if you don’t, don’t get so upset about it! Don’t try to fall in love just because you’re lonely; do it because you’re ready to. Maybe this Valentine’s day isn’t the right time. But someday, whether it should fall on a Valentine’s Day or not, you will find someone.
Heart-shaped pizza. It exists. It is just as delicious as any other shaped pizza. But somehow…it’s just so much more romantic. And with all this filthy “love” in the air, one can’t help but wish for silly romantic things such as a heart-shaped pizza.
Valentine’s Day is such a great holiday. For girls at least. For guys, there is WAY too much pressure to do well and to be a good boyfriend or husband. Suck it up. It’s the way our society is. Get a gift for her or sleep on the couch. It’s that simple! I find it funny how many break-ups there are on Valentine’s Day. The expectations are set too high, and when they aren’t met, everything falls to pieces. Yay? Here’s some advice for the perfect Valentine’s Day!
Guys, do something nice. Don’t be all clique and buy her flowers or chocolate. Not a rose. Don’t buy a rose. ANYTHING BUT A RED ROSE. Instead, buy her favourite flower. Best of all, buy a heart-shaped pizza (for gluttonous, freaky girls like me). What I’m trying to say is, buy her something that fits her tastes. Or, if you’re really up to the challenge, make her something. A handmade card really isn’t that hard, and it shows a lot more than a card bought from Walmart. Finally, if you are planning to take her out, or do something special, pick something that she likes. But also something that you can stand. Valentine’s Day is about spending time together, not torturing guys and their wallets, as hard as it is to believe. And don’t give her the gifts late at night, because she’ll think you forgot, as silly as that sounds. Give her hints. And, the absolute worst thing you could do isn’t NOT get her something, is NOT show up if you actually arranged something. Cardinal sin of Valentine’s Day #1. Mushy stuff, I know. But, good luck anyways!
For girls, the advice is much more simple. Just be yourself, and appreciate his efforts. Asking for too much, and acting really demanding is a no.
All the couples, just remember the Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be a stressful thing. In fact, it should be a very happy day, to celebrate love and whatever and all that good stuff. You know what? Guys should be doing nice things for girls anyways!
Finally, for the single people. Who cares about this holiday? Consider yourself LUCKY your wallet is spared. In fact, spend all the money you would have spent on someone else, for yourself! Pig out on chocolate, or go to the spa, or buy that new video game – whatever. Treat yourself. Better than having to suck up to your boyfriend/girlfriend. 😉
I don’t know about you guys, but personally, I’m really weary of clichéd must-read-before-you-die promotional book lists. Usually, the novels suggested on those types of lists would end up following one of those lame, unoriginal plots (and they lived happily ever after), or it would end up being one of those implausible romance stories where the girl protagonist falls in love with a sparkling mythical creature or whatever (yay for undying disco balls?)
Anyway, I thought I’d give this book promotion thing a shot and suggest a few of my personal favourites to y’all book eating loving creatures out there! And oh – don’t forget, Freedom to Read week is coming up – Feb 26 to March 3!
1. Blindness by José Saramago
Reading level: hard. Content: high maturity.
A recent novel adds appreciably to Saramago’s literary stature. It was published in 1995 and has the title “Blindness: a novel”. Its omniscient narrator takes us on a horrific journey through the interface created by individual human perceptions and the spiritual accretions of civilisation. Saramago’s exuberant imagination, capriciousness and clear-sightedness find full expression in this irrationally engaging work. “Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don’t think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.”
-from the official site of the Nobel Prize
This book was the one that captured my attention with its blinding white cover – what a coincidence it has with the title of the novel, eh? At first, it was a definite struggle and a great challenge to get settled with the storyline, that’s for sure. It was partly because of the different culture of the translated text, the difficult vocabulary level the novel was written in, and the style of writing. However, as I read on, the reason for José Saramago’s being as literary Noble Prize laureate became ever so clear to me. He has written a fictional book based solely upon humanity, with both its perfection and its grotesque rancidness entwined together in a raw and revealing manner. No masks to cover up our imperfections. Nowhere to hide; nowhere to lie. Just a simple truth. The simple truth. Some scenes in the novel was definitely a significant disturbance – there’s no way to deny it. But others were just so enlightening to experience with the characters. In addition to the twitch-inducing use of vocabulary, I must warn potential readers of high-maturity and some explicit scenes in Blindness. Other than this, I believe that Saramago has created a novel entitled to all of humankind’s praise.
Here’s a trailer of the movie based on this book:
2. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Reading level: medium. Content: medium-maturity.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
By her brother’s graveside, Liesel Meminger’s life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Grave Digger’s Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor’s wise’s library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times. When Liezel’s foster family hides a Jew in their basement, Liesel’s world is bother opened up and closed down.
In a superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.
-from the cover of The Book Thief
In The Book Thief , Markus Zusak takes on an interesting view on Nazi Germany during the time period of the second World War. Usually, fictional books on World War II solely consists of a child’s journey through the war, or how a Jewish protagonist managed to survive the monstrous camps. Though its storyline consists of a a young girl’s life with a Jewish man hidden in her basement, this book is comprised of much more. It has been quite a while since I read the novel, but I still remember the innocent perspective of which this novel was written from, giving a particular childish sense of hope and brightness, despite gloomy circumstances. Definitely a must-read for historical fiction fans.
A mind-bending code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci. A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe. An astonishing truth concealed for centuries…unveiled at last.
-from the cover of The Da Vinci Code
“Enthralling…Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history. Brown’s hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of culture’s greatest mysteries–from the nature of the Mona Lisa’s smile to the secret of the Holy Grail… rich food for thought.”
-Amazon.com
Even though this is a fictional novel, Dan Brown has brilliantly manipulated real historical facts and events and interwoven it into The Da Vinci Code, producing one of the best thriller/action/historical/fictional texts I have ever read. Throughout the novel, Brown never fails to surprise the reader with his ever-developing, ever-captivating plot. Especially with the illustrated edition of the novel, I would often find myself roaming the Louvre with the protagonist, or right smack in the middle of a foot race, heart beating wildly. The Da Vinci Code also presents controversial ideas and interpretations of history, making it ever more of an engrossing read.
I’d definitely recommend reading the book over watching the movie… but here’s a movie trailer that pretty much sums up the plot for those of you interested in reading the novel:
from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Other books recommended:
4. The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
For those who are ready to take on a gorier version of Darren Shan.
5. The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer
Cloning or not to clone? The ultimate debate.
6. Blood Ninja by Nick Lake
Vampire ninjas? Sounds hilarious at first, but a great way to avoid vision blindness and frostbite, if you get the reference. (No offence to any fans out there!)
7. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
For those who aren’t die-hard fans of Harry Potter already. I must say, this fourth novel is my favourite of the series. Epic storyline.
8. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
A simple, easy read illustrating a child’s journey and growth into adulthood.
9. Heist Society by Ally Carter
Easy read for a grey rainy day in a cafe. Nice, simple plot for those who are already too weighed down with words.
10. Half Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan
I’m still working my way through this book; however, I marvel at the author’s ability to create such a real depiction of life during World War II, particularly through her use of diction.
If anything could make Stephen Harper seem warm and fuzzy, it’s a pair of baby panda bears. Embarking on a five-day voyage to China, Canada’s conservative main man sealed a deal with “panda diplomacy,” a term used in a Globe and Mail article. Beyond their cuteness, these pandas are a sign of progress in the political relationship between Canada and China and a display of the latter’s willingness to deal with Canada. Serious facts aside, I’m sure I am not alone in highly anticipating the arrival of these adorable creatures at the Calgary Zoo in 2018.
February 14, a day full of love, chocolates and awesomeness?
Yes chalk-flavored hearts, I would love to eat you up!
I don’t want to try to sound like every other cynical person, but for me I find these man-made holidays to be kind of unnecessary. Like most holidays, they start out as humble, well-deserved holidays. But since capitalism has kicked in, corporations have jumped on these holidays like jack rabbits; making up excuses to waste paper, plastic and our money to try to throw to other people. Oh, and creating really lame and clichéd movies that are not worth $10. So here are a few reasons why this day is so agonizing and very, very pointless:
Food is not enjoyable
Whether you’re single or in a relationship, you’ve probably dealt with this one. Are you craving a sit-down meal on February 14? Good luck! You have to schedule your appetite a few days (or weeks) beforehand. Plus if you forget to book a table at a fancy restaurant, your significant other might rage at you. Unfair pressures? Yes. Why? Because of Valentine’s Day! Honestly, can I not just enjoy a meal on February 14? I’m sure you can argue the same thing with the other holidays; sure, restaurants get a lot of business, but it’s quite bothersome to try to accommodate for something like “romance” (and by that I am referring to pressure. Read below to learn more).
Even your favorite 2-star place will have no room for you...unless you booked in advance
Yes, romance is important but it’s not like it’s the most important thing in life. Family is definitely important (and that’s why we have Family Day), in addition to celebrating our parents’ successes. Without good parenting, we might end up spoiled or something no one likes to put up with. But there are plenty of super happy, secure and optimistic single people. Plus, relationships already have their special day to celebrate: anniversaries! So why are we giving them another day to waste money? Oh, speaking of which…
Valentine’s Day is not cheap
Yes, yes, you can tell me that people can just go old-fashioned and make gifts. But do you remember that Friends episode when Chandler and Monica try to go hand-made? It was quite hilarious… and awful. Honestly, unless you’re a crafty person (someone who creates awesome crafts, not the other kind of crafty…) or you’re just great at making home-made stuff, then you’re just screwed in this department. You still have to shell out money for materials, originality, and spend so much time searching for a guide to create a scarf! Or whatever you decide to make.
And cards. Sure, I loved getting generic cards from my classmates in Elementary, but they’re quite expensive and the pressures you get from your teachers, peers and whatnot is so unnecessary. If I like someone, I want to tell them on my special day. I don’t need society to tell me how/when I should do it. Plus, it’s kind of cheesy to admit something really personal on a generic holiday. Speaking of which, another reason why V-Day is terrible is…
The pressure and society’s silly little norms
Society, your mother, your friends, your Sims characters. They all want you to go out there and get a date. And when you’re hitting that golden age of (insert age you think is the most important time of your life), you probably feel like you should date, right? No! Stop thinking that. Erase it out of your mind or I’m going to slap you with a fish. Relationships should never ever ever be started out of convenience, loneliness or pressure. Your significant other should never “complete” you; they should compliment you! If you’ve just been dumped, don’t try to heal your wounds by getting a rebound… or a friend with benefits.
And what if that peer pressure has gotten to you and you’ve found a date for V-Day? What if it didn’t go well? Do you dump them on that day? The day after? If you did, that person will most definitely complain and whine about how they’ve just been dumped. Yes, it hurts to be dumped, but for some reason it seems like being dumped on/near February 14 makes it even more depressing… and it makes the dumpee think their reasons for self-pity and seeking-attention-from-others-to-get-sympathy-and-stuff are more valid simply because being dumped on Valentine’s Day is the worst thing in the world. Oh, boo hoo. We have other first world problems to worry about.
Plus, I’m assuming you’re about 16 (my apologies if you’re not). You do not need to be dating at such a young age, unless you are 100% prepared and have honest, true intentions. Don’t let this kind of holiday pressure you into a half-hearted attempt at a relationship. You’ve still got friendships to build, school to worry about and your record for Plants vs Zombies.
Oh, and those people who complain about Valentine’s Day
This includes me, but since I’m writing this and I just pointed that out, I think my points are valid enough. No but seriously, I’m talking about those typical whiners. Those who say that it’s Single Awareness Day, sulking over their relationship status. Just get some more self-esteem! It shouldn’t be too hard to feel secure about yourself; and besides, I would rather date a confidant person who is perfectly fine to be alone, rather than a desperate person who seeks to be in some kind of relationship all of the time (I’m looking at you, people who have more than one relationship per year!)
Even Obama thinks you complain too much!
Anyways, that’s my shpeel for this month’s holiday. Let me know what you think about this day: do you love it, hate it, agree with me or want to stab me to death? Comment below and let the discussion begin!
On March 3 at Bowness Library and March 10 at Village Square Library, you can find yourself a snazzy dress that was donated. Dresses are lined against the walls of the library and girls are able to try and take them home completely free! Register here for your spot to get a dress this year!
