    By October 23, 2011

    It took me over half a year to finally succumb to Nintendo’s spell and buy a Nintendo 3DS. It was a wise decision.

    The Nintendo 3DS was released on March 27 of this year and is the latest in Nintendo’s long line of handheld gaming devices. This honoured tradition started back in 1989 with the Game Boy and has gone through varied iterations over the years such as the Game Boy Color in 1998, the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and the DS in 2004.

But my love for you is my issue, for when I have had a long talk with Mr. Jack Daniels, I love you too much. It may start innocently enough with a simple tweet like “Piñatas Rule Everything Around Me! #PinataClan.”

  • Voters need to get informed: understanding parties and politicians is a critical component of democracy

    By October 20, 2011

    With the constant stream of advertisements and articles being published, it’s hard to ignore the upcoming provincial election.

    There is a serious lack of education about the function of government in society, especially in our generation. There is also a lack of appreciation for those who fought for democracy, that I feel non-partisan movements only perpetuate.
