Who knew a reality show about a pawn shop would be so interesting? To clear up some confusion, to pawn means to give up an item as security for a loan, like collateral. But you can also sell items at a pawn shop usually at a super low price so they can resell it for…
Last weekend, I had the lucky fortune to attend a performance of The Drowsy Chaperone. Presented by Theatre Calgary, it was a family-friendly “Musical within a Comedy.” How is this possible? The show begins with a lone actor, known as “Man in Chair,” who reminisces as he plays an old record of a (fictional) musical…
Okay, so you’re probably wondering, what on the earth is a “bookie?” Well to save space, my post will be a review on the book and movie, Flipped. The book was written by Wendelin Van Draanen and judging from this book, she’s a wonderful writer! The book focuses on two characters (who switch perspectives in…
Primal Grounds Cappuccino Bar and Eatery (click here to see their website) is located 3003 – 37 Street SW (37 street near Richmond Road). I was fortunate enough to get a gift certificate to Primal Grounds to review it, and since my visit, I’ve been hooked on Primal Grounds. Why? The Mac and Cheese As…
After reading this book, I often wondered if I read the same “The Lovely Bones” that everyone else is talking about. Because to be honest, my opinion greatly differs from that of the majority. Basically, this is a story about a girl who was violated, murdered and now in heaven. but she is restricted to…
When I was looking for a driving school last year, it was hard for me to decide between price versus quality. On one end of the spectrum there was an extremely pricey AMA driving school that had magnificient reviews. On the other end, tiny family-owned driving schools pop up left, right and centre. I decided…
I have always been a huge fan of the Cactus Club cafe, so I was really excited when YAA gave me a $50 gift certificate to spend at their restaurant. When you first walk into the restaurant it’s a bit of a change. The inside is quite dark but candles and lights make up for…
If I had to sum this movie up in one word, I think that word would be “WOAH!” This movie was definitely not what I was expecting after reading the back of the box. For Halloween movies, this was not my favorite, but it was not bad. The whole movie is actually kind of confusing.…
I recently got the opportunity to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street. I wanted to see the new one, but I ended up watching one from 1996. A cool fact about this movie is that it introduced Johnny Depp into the acting world. I thought this movie was very good. It is about a man…
So, a little game known as Call of Duty: Black Ops (maybe you’ve heard of it) came out last Tuesday, and after playing through all of its main features, I believe I am ready to review it. Unlike with the Halo franchise, I am relatively new to the CoD series. Therefore, my skills aren’t exactly…
The Last Dog of War The Last Dog of War is the personal narrative of a relationship between a woman and her father as they venture together to her father’s last squad reunion dating back to World War II. WeiJia (my usual partner in blog) and I had the most spectacular chance to watch this…
Before the Show: I’m really excited. When I was little, my mother bought my sister tickets to Alegria, another Cirque Du Soliel show, and I was upset that I couldn’t go. They bought me the video to cheer me up and I loved it, but it wasn’t the same. To see the performers live, breathing,…
