Genova is one of my personal favorite Italian cities, not only is it because it is were i was born but also because i have my roots there and every year my family boards a plane and we go back there for the Christmas holidays. Genova is a …
Western Safety Industrial Ear Muffs
I purchased the Western Safety Industrial Ear Muffs a short time ago. The reason for the purchase was two fold. One I wanted to let my daughter use them for fire works as she doesn’t like the noise of them and secondly I wanted to use them myself …
Atlantic Funeral Home Dartmouth Nova Scotia
I attended a funeral of an acquaintance yesterday at the Atlantic Funeral Home, on Main Street Dartmouth Nova Scotia.
Like everyone, I’m not a fan of funerals, but I must say the staff at Atlantic Funeral Homes were superb.
Atlantic Funeral Homes, is a little off the beaten track in Dartmouth, …
AcneFree Clear Skin Treatment Repair Lotion
I am currently reviewing another product from the AcneFree collection, called the repair lotion. I use this after the cleanser and toner as a moisturizer, and I find that it does a pretty good job, and it doesn’t clog my pores, and doesn’t make me feel greasy right after …
Message in a Bottle movie
I am reviewing the movie, Message in a Bottle, starring Kevin Costner, Robert Wright Penn, and Paul Newman. This movie was made in 1999, was produced by Denise Di Novi, Jim Wilson, and Kevin Costner, and was directed by Luis Mandoki. This film was based on the novel …
Weekend to End Breast Cancer in Calgary, Alberta
This past weekend in Calgary, Alberta, over 1,200 people walked 60km in two days to raise money for cancer. Called the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, it is an event which is held in many cities across Canada, and it has become enormously popular. My friend has been involved …
6 Piece Seaton Stainless Steel Solar Light Set
As my wife and I were finishing our garden, we thought that it would be a great idea to accent the new renovations with some solar powered landscape lighting. We didn’t want to spend too much money, but still wanted to be able to have something nice and …
Ki Sushi in New Westminster, Canada
Every once in a while, I feel the need to pig out on sashimi. For the uninitiated, sashimi is a close cousin of sushi. The difference between the two is that sushi has rice, while sashimi is plain raw fish or other seafood.
My whole family loves sashimi. …
Girl Scouts
The Girl Scouts, which has been in existance for about ninety years, has now devised a system of giving to honor men and women in the United States Armed Forces. Now, when Girl Scouts are selling cookies, if someone is on a diet or does not like sweets, …
Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau Ottawa
The role of the Saudi Arabian cultural Bureau remains a mystery to me. I am a Saudi female who came to Canada in 2003 to specialize in Anesthesia and I must say my fear of the power of the Saudi Bureau has made me remain on a short leash, …
Top Flight 3 Pack Memo Books
I love buying these 3-packs of Memo Books from my local Family Dollar. They are a great value. Some stores sell a single memo book for over a dollar but here you can get three of them for a dollar. They are not fancy (no pictures on the cover) …
Prototype game
I thought that, what with all the hype, the awesome trialers and screenshots, that Prototype was going to be the game of the year. But unfortunatly, I was a little bit dissapointed with the game. It’s still a good game, but it wasn’t as good as I anticipated it …
Trodat Company Rubber Stamp Builder Kit
One of the business essentials that I had to have is a rubber company stamp and shopping around for it proved to be quite a nightmare, simply because of what assemblers charge to have one built.
I happened to find a suitable solution to this particular problem and it came …
I-405 Freeway
The dreaded I-405 was surely placed by the devil himself, as it has created nothing more than pain and more pain for the everyday commuter, as well as the occasional traveler. Serving the long stretch of southern California, the freeway is no stranger to insane amounts of traffic in …
Bottega Verde Tinted cream
I like to wear foundations because they make my face look nicer and kind a healthier. I don’t like those foundations which make your skin colour look unnatural or even as a mask. I know a lot of girls who use that kind of make up and I really …
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Episode 1.1: Pilot
I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about what this show was going to be like before watching the first episode. We have a cast of practically new actors who are playing familiar characters we all know and love, Sarah and John Connor in particular. For those of …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 20 Charm and Harm
It is a good episode. It is not the best just because there was not enough drama and tension created. For some reason I couldn’t get myself right inside the story, it all did not feel immediate enough. Instead it felt like watching from the outside at something that …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 16 The Tribe
I love the show in general and all of the episodes are generally fantastic where compared to other shows. But this one I would consider to be quite average when compared to other episodes. I thought it was not completely believable right from the start and the ending really …
Locks of Love
One of my favorite charities is Locks of Love, a nonprofit organization that helps children under the age of 18 who are losing their hair due to medical reasons.
Donating your hair is easy. I did it last summer and am currently growing my hair long again so I …
Criminal Minds Season 2 Episode 8 Empty Planet
In this episode the FBI Behavioural Analysis Team is out to find out the identity and the next actions of a delusional psychopath. Although engaging in what first appears to be terrorist acts, he makes sure to minimize the damage done. After further observation they come to the conclusion …
Jayakarta Cottages / Hotel Anyer
I don’t think that I should call Jayakarta as hotel. It look more like cottages because the place itself have some rooms just like cottages for rent.
When we rented a cottage there, there were four rooms inside one cottage. Most of the room were on the second floor. In …

Assassins Creed Brotherhood
Hello I’m hear to talk today about assassins Creed Brotherhood. This is the third title in the assassins creed storyline that follows Ezio at the beginning on the 1500’s. Bluntly if you didn’t like part 1 and 2 you wont like part 3 but for those of …
Surf Fabric Conditioner
It was upon the insistence of my brother that we use the same scent or brand of detergent soap and fabric conditioner that my household decided to cross over from Downy to Surf fabric conditioner. Surf previously did not manufacture fabric conditioner, just powder detergent and detergent bar. We …
Rawlins Wyoming
We have lived here in Rawlins, Wyoming for one year. The reason we live here is that my husband got a job as a foreman at a nearby oil refinery. We are leaving in two weeks and are delighted. Admittedly we are city folk, but this …
Nautica Oceans Eau de Toilette Spray
I love trying anything new that is eco-friendly so that I can replace what I have as long as the new product is good, but I never expected to find eco-friendly scents. When I had the chance to finally smell the new scent from Nautica I wanted to …
CSI New York Season 4 Episode 17 Like Water for Murder
The best way to describe this episode would be “cool.” Well, cool in a creepy kind of way.
A body of a woman is washed up ashore right beside the body of a dead shark which attacked her. For some reason the victim looks familiar to Stella but she …
Criminal Minds Season 1 Episode 6 L.D.S.K
I would have to say this episode was a bit mediocre. Or to be exact, it was mediocre at the beginning through the middle and became very genius at the very end. At the end where Hotch totally messes up with the mind of the crazy shooter is really …
Little Debbie Creme-Filled Strawberry Cupcakes
It is a shame that the Little Debbie Creme-Filled Strawberry Cupcakes are not available year-round because I really do like them quite a lot. The reason I like these strawberry cupcakes quite a lot is because the strawberry flavor is quite flavorful and authentic. The flavoring does not taste …
AFD100 Amplifier
In the music world of Guns N’ Roses the album Appetite for Destruction is an iconic album that will be remembered as a legendary album that contains huge songs like Paradise City,Welcome to The Jungle,Mr.Brownstone,Nightrain, and Sweet Child O’ Mine. On this album the guitarist had that awesome guitar …
Rizal Boulevard Dumaguete City
One of the spots that make Dumaguete City famous is the Rizal Boulevard that stretches almost ten blocks along the shoreline of the city. It is one of the most crowded area in the city because of joggers, hikers or even just those people who …
Homesense store Richmond , BC
Possibly the only store that I am consistently delighted to shop at is Homesense, and I have been to 3 locations in BC so far. Each time, I find exactly what I am looking for and for low prices, and also find many things that catch my eye while …
Sharpie Fine Retractable Pen
Anyone who has searched for a fine permanent marker knows that quality is tough to come by. One of the more common brands that is available today is made by Sharpie. The classic, traditional, Sharpie pen comes with a standard cap. This style has been around …
Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid
I was a bit reluctant to try out a product which has been on the market for so long, yet is still being advertised as if it is still very new to the market, as is the case with Sunlight dish washing liquid.
In my experience of using it however, …
Diamondback Ironworks’ Two-Burner Knife-Maker’s Forge
I researched the available propane forges when I decided to upgrade my knife-making hobby from kit knives to knives made from scratch. There’s a big difference between the tools necessary to complete kit knives and those needed to make a knife from unshaped pieces of metal and wood. …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 13- Obsession
Not a bad episode. I like the second murder case they were working on, the one with the abduction. The first one was really strange and disappointing. Not only was it not interesting, but it did not even make sense.
In the first case a young man is found dead …
Del Fabric Softener
I have been using different brands of fabric softener before I switched completely to Del Fabric Softener. I was washing our clothes one day when the fabric softener I’m using ran out. I asked my daughter to buy me three additional sachets of fabric softener from a …
Shoppersville Supermarket
In just a few months my nephew will be having his first year birth day part and we already made plans as early as two months before since I think it will give us less stress and I think it will give us more time to canvas for cheaper …
MAC Lipglass in Culture Clash
Culture Clash is part of the new collection that MAC just released called the Spring Colour Forecast. It is still available so if you want anything from that collection, hurry to your MAC store or counter (Macy’s) to check it out because those products are limited edition. Culture Clash …
iPhone 3G
As a previous owner of a Treo 650 at first I was disappointed to no longer have the windows features I had gotten to used to but after giving it a little while, like most things apples this product grew on me.
In its difference I later learned it …
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Bacon Entrée
Aunt Jemima Pancakes and Bacon Entrée is a fairly filling breakfast meal that I moderately enjoy. It is a breakfast that could most certainly be better, but if I do not have much time in the morning to fix something, this can be a decent alternative to leaving the …
‘Four Bells’ Dark Navy Rum
I am a sucker for a good, strong tasting drink. I’ll happily knock back a tomato juice with loads of Worcestershire Sauce, because it can really hit the spot when you’re awaiting some decent food, but there’s half an hour to go and there are rumblings from the digestive …
Modestneeds.org
I recently found out about a very cool website where those of you that like to feel that your contribution to a charity really does touch and help someone. It’s one thing to donate to something like the Red Cross, United Way or the Christian Children’s Fund etc, but those …
TRI-CITY AREA
The Tri-City area as it is called, is made up of Port Moody, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, or as some call it “Poco” My sister who used to live in Port Moody works as a para-legal in a place called “The Poco Law office” while my Brother, …
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 5 Dancing With the Fishes
CSI New York Season 2 Episode 5 Dancing With the Fishes
That was one horrible episode. The investigations and the murders did not even matter, because the cases themselves were just too boring to begin with. I would rate this episode below average. But that should not reflect …
Foyers House hotel Loch Ness, Scotland
This hotel sits just back from the banks of the world famous Loch Ness. Because of its slightly elevated position, you are able to enjoy some of the most breath taking views I have ever seen from a hotel. Off the top of my head I can only think …
CSI New York Season 3 Episode 16 Heart of Glass
This is one of my most favourite episodes on the show. I found the stories to be really unusual and intriguing and totally unanticipated. I wonder if those kind of things are possible in real life. Or at least theoretically. The cases were strange but I really loved it.
In …
American Legion Post 321
The American Legion Post 321 in Cooper City, Florida is a great place for the veterans and other old folks to hangout. Inside is a really nice bar with an assortment of drinks, and theirs also a dining room and a cool little hangout spot to play pool,listen …
On the Run Scotscam episode
This was a really cool episode. I think it was a lot of fun and a lot of humour. The only thing is that I did not care very much for the actor who played the frauder Elliot Castro. I don’t know what but there was something a bit …
Moon Dust Better Than Miracle Grow for Desert Soil
When my new home was finished I ordered some trees for the yard from Moon Valley Nursery in Chandler Arizona. I realized they would need food since our desert ground has little nutrition. Something called Moon Dust, sold by their company, was suggested. I decided to stick with my Miracle …
