Moving Forward

I’m sure that you’ve experienced moments in your life when you’ve felt that you were doing nothing but coasting. You live in your parent’s house; you go to school; maybe hang out with a few friends once in a while; and the rest of your free time is spent on the job you need to […]

First Steps

In my previous post, I talked a bit about how important it is for you to keep developing yourself (i.e. moving forward) even if you’re feeling like everything you do is useless. Last time I left off, I was just about to take my first steps into the world of tutoring. So what happened? First […]

Last Christmas – Not Your Ordinary Christmas Flick

So, the Christmas season is upon us! Retail stores have switched over from ghosts and ghouls to garlands, wreaths, and lights that seem to saturate every square inch of the floor. The busy red and green traffic signals now have a whimsical attraction rather than just being annoying direction lights. Window shoppers are now browsing […]

Diary Entry – November 27th, 2019 (What to do?)

It seems I haven’t settled on a particular set of topics or things that I want to write about in these blogs. All the better as I’m having a blast exploring the different avenues. So, what’s this diary entry about? Over the past two months, I’ve been seriously considering changing careers in my life. I’m […]

Christmas in Retail

Christmas is a busy time for many of us. For Retail chains, it’s the one time of the year to break big at the bank and get your sales increases that you’ve been dying for all year. As someone who works in a retail environment, I can honestly say that the more time you spend […]

She Doesn’t Deserve You … Really?

I’ve heard a lot of people say, “The girl didn’t work out? Well, you deserve better than her, anyway.” Or, “She dumped you? What a jerk.” My family would be one of these people. The more I experience life, the more I realise that perhaps this isn’t the best way to think about situations when […]

While You’re Waiting for Love…

While you’re waiting for love … don’t. It’s taken me a long time to learn this simple fact. Too often we get caught up in trying to find true love … or even just love. We walk down the streets with our eyes glancing to the left and right hoping to catch that “special someone” […]

My Story: A Decade in the Making

The year is 2010. Virtue and Moir won gold at the Vancouver Olympics a few months ago. The first I-Pad has just been released. Harry Potter movies were still coming out – I think it was Deathly Hallows? As for me, I was heading into the last year of high school and my dad had […]

Know your worth to ace that interview

First off, I would like to apologize for dropping off the radar for a bit. I was surprised by a bit of good news when I was offered the chance to be interviewed for the position of Assistant Manager. I spent a whole week in preparation for that. Immediately after the interview, I caught the […]

What’s Your Day Off?

Today is my day off from work. It’s currently a chilly thirteen degrees, but the sun’s rays are beaming at me through the window that I’m currently staring at from behind my kitchen sink. Oh, and there’s a windstorm warning that just hit my newsfeed. As I stare out the window, I debate a very […]
