It’s been a while since I visited my little corner of the internet. Naturally I wasn’t sitting ducks, some hard work was involved. I started teaching again, this time my favorite part (Bacteriology – YEY!!!) to indifferent second year students . However there is a catch – this year I’m teaching students from the English [...]

New Harry Potter trailer – amazing
As you all know, I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter…both the books and the movies. My journey started in 2003 when I saw the first 2 movies, then I started reading the books in 2004 – thank you Wal Mart. Ever since then, I’ve been excitedly waiting for the next book/movie. In 2007 [...]

Hermione’s transformation
So the other day I see this news “Emma Watson cut her hair”…it should not have been a hit because people all around the world cut their hair, but we are talking about the girl who impersonates Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. So I did a bit of search and indeed I came [...]

to Kindle or not to Kindle
It’s 2 am, the wind outside is howling (or maybe the neighborhood dogs) and as sleep seems to evade me, my mind poses a serious question: to Kindle or not to Kindle? What is Kindle? It’s a handy-dandy device, meant for….reading. Yes, soon the days of good old fashioned books will come to an end [...]

French entertainment at its best
I shall take the time to talk about one of my favorite artists of all times, Mylene Farmer. I can’t exactly remember when I stumbled upon her music, but I know for certain the first time I saw her was in “California” and was hooked ever since. The video tells the story of a prostitute [...]

Not your average cartoon characters
You wouldn’t find these characters in the “Children” section of any bookstore, rather the “Male teen” or “Slightly adult”…Enjoy!

At the theatre
Today I got a call from a friend, inviting me to see a play. I gave it some thought, as I haven’t been at the theatre in ages. I’m a movie fan myself, but sometimes I really enjoy a good play, that closeness you get seeing the actors not 20 feet from you. I took [...]

Nobel prize authors
I just had a thought today. Why not scoot down to the library with my list of authors who won the Nobel prize for literature and get a taste of what they have to offer? The list is quite long, but with determination I think I’ll conquer it. As soon as I read a book, [...]

Soul song
This song was recommended to me by a dear friend of mine some 3 years ago, and ever since it’s been my favorite one. Its rhythm is unique, the lyrics are uncommon and the whole vibe is simply out of this world. Whenever I’m feeling down I listen to it, it always creates a bubble [...]

Stand up comedy
I am a funny person. Funny as in strange, but funny as in comedy – funny. If I don’t laugh one day, it’s a wasted day. I don’t like it when people around are sad or too serious, and whenever I can, I tell a joke or something outrageous just to lighten the mood. This [...]

While the expectations are high and the predictions are rolling, let’s take a peek at this years’ nominations: 1. Best Picture: “Avatar,” “The [...]

2010 Grammy Awards
Seems like the whole world is buzzing around the Grammy awards lately. So I caved and decided to drop a few lines myself about the musical phenomenon, which took place in Staples Center, Los Angeles, the location since 2004. As everybody knows, the most appreciated artist was Beyonce – even though I am not particularly [...]

Silent friends
Ever since I was a kid I was a loner. Of course being an only child and painfully shy helped a lot in achieving this. While growing up I saw my parents read. A lot. One room in our apartment had a huge (when you’re a kid everything is huge) bookcase, full of books. I [...]

The vampires are among us
Have you noticed lately the abundance of vampire-related media? books, movies are exploding with this eternal theme. I decided to see how they came into our lives. According to the most-trusted source out there, wikipedia, the dear suckers, bloodsuckers that is, were in the public view since the 18th century – talk about immortality. The [...]

Fate
The idea of Fate never entered her mind. The thought that an entity, even hypothetical, has the power to control events or the lives of others, was unacceptable. But whether you believe in it or not, Fate, teamed up with Life has a way of proving you wrong. It started like a child’s play. Both [...]

Love story
The ocean breeze stirred the light curtain of the bedroom. It was morning, the first rays of sun sliding into the room, shining on their faces. They looked content, finally finding each other, locked in a tight embrace as if afraid of losing themselves in the depths of their love. The breeze got more daring, [...]

Music
Music makes the people come together. Madonna got that right! I’m sure all of us realize music has amazing power…it has the power to make you happy, sad, help you remember things lost on the pathways of your mind, helps you relax or make you dance. Music is communication. There were times when I had [...]

Tai chi
Yesterday I attended my first tai chi class. I’ve been interested in this type of activity for a couple of years now, but so far my experience was limited to reading books and occasionally watching some type of videos. Knowing there are many styles of tai chi out there, I knew I had to come [...]
