Top 3 artists from my playlists: July 2013

To keep myself busy throughout the summer, I often turn to a familiar and reliable companion: music. These are 3 artists/duos whose songs I’ve constantly re-played this month, as I can’t seem to get enough of their beautiful music: 1. Woodkid Yoann Lemoine is a jack-of-all-trades concerning the music industry as he has graphically designed…

Emotions in motion

Hey Humans!! Haha!!  That sounds super-weird eh!!  But in reality, yes we are human beings and we have feelings for every moment of our lives. What do we rely on while making a decision? Brain or heart?? Well,whatever suits us the best. But trust me, for every decision made by the brain, there is an…

Got a Bad Teacher? Here’s Jeff Bliss.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iflIOklflrg Give that kid an award. And the a Nobel prize – Alana Mayfield (Top comment on video) Many of us know a bad teacher. They may be non interactive, unpassionate, unfair or maybe a mix of all these traits as they educate students with a lack of vigor and seriousness in their work. Jeff Bliss…

Caucasian or Asian Invasion?

I have a been an avid fan of the Asian community on YouTube, from the classic works of Nigahiga to the hilarity of KevJumba,  and of course the innovative Wong Fu Productions. Earlier this week, I was once again procrastinating and wasting away many more precious hours on YouTube. That is when I stumbled upon…

YouthTube Channels? How it really works in Youtube.

Do you believe that youth should make their own Youtube channels? Some people seem to think it’s a terrible idea. Kids making Youtube channels. What could go worse? Not only do they have squeaky voices, but they also edit horribly. And for that, many people criticize young people for making Youtube channels, sometimes going full…

Youtuber of the Day!

Hey guys, So I’ve been roaming around on YouTube for quite some time now, and today, I decided to take the time to look over my profile, subscriptions and all that jazz until I realized that I am subscribed to 156 different channels. ‘I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22~’ Ha, just kidding,…

Music to My…Phone

If you’re a music junkie like me and absolutely need a good dose of music to even function properly, then these apps are for you! Generally, I’m fairly open to any kind of music, and these three apps have definitely helped me discover new artists, genres, and types of music. However, even if you listen…

“Quotable” Quotes from John Green

If you haven’t heard of the Green brothers, let me give you a quick run down.  John Green, (whose quotes I have featured in this article), has to be one of my favourite writers.  If you’ve ever heard someone exclaim “Have you read TFIOS?!”, they are referring, not to some extra-terrestrial piece of literary material,…

The RSA

One of my pet peeves when reading the news is not having enough background information on the subject to comprehend the entire article. I really like getting to the bottom of things, but sometimes I just don’t have time to read an entire book on global economy just to understand a news article better. I…

Youtuber of the Day!

Hey guys, So yesterday, after a long day of math review, I took a little break and gave myself a little treat before I went to bed. Now, this isn’t something elaborate like a shopping spree, but something more along the lines of web surfing. As a result I found this really amazing YouTuber, Devin.…

The invention of love

Alright guys, I know Valentine’s Day had long since passed. But, it’s never too late for a little romance. As you can probably tell (from my past posts), I’m a big fan of short films. I find them to be simple but efficient for conveying ideas. I recently came across this film from my YouTube…
