I don’t know about you guys, but I never had nap times during my years in preschool and kindergarten. Even though kids need to take naps to restore their energy and allow their bodies to grow and fix itself, naps are still vital for youth and even adults. If you’re keen in school, you may…

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.
It is the time of the year once again when a number of us are making choices for post-secondary, or if you are in Grade 11, thinking about what to do in university. It has already been a very gruelling task for me. I oscillated between varieties of programs like Political Science to Pure Mathematics…
Is there anything worse than sleepless nights?

I’m a night owl. I have always been this way – not sleeping until late at night, and regretting it in the morning when I have to go to school. When Winter Break came, my sleeping habits became worse than ever: late night television until 3 a.m. and never being able to wake up for…
What makes romance movies and love stories so popular? It’s the fact that people, especially women, want or expect the love in their lives to be found this way.

I can’t remember the last time I’ve gone anywhere without having a phone or the last time that I got home…
I came across this really amusing yet informative ad campaign done by a German organization when surfing the web. It really reminded me of the many grade twelves who are applying for their post-secondary education – especially of those who feel pressured by their parents’ demands. No, there are not only three jobs in the world;…

Rest assured, however, that I am back and ready to roll. Today’s post brings you a brief but informative guide about the iPhone 4 that will hopefully…
Exercise is an important activity in life that everyone should factor into their schedule. However not everyone is doing it correctly. I catch myself and many other people not warming up or stretching before activity. There are far more benefits to warming up than there are negatives. A few reasons why you should warm up…
As the Christmas holidays grow closer, I find myself daydreaming about presents and plans and decorations, but sadly, the reality is I won’t be able to really get into the Christmas spirit until school is out. My school work to-do list is impossibly long, sending me into near hysterics every time I think about it.…
Philosophical observer, but by no means passive, an incredible artist that magically paints and draws the world to her own accord, and a fantastic soprano, sharing her talent by lending her voice to Vocal Jazz and Concert choir, Carmen Khuu’s passionate interests in the Fine Arts could be seen as anything but narrow.
