Gearing Up Your Reading Experience

I often find people uninterested in reading. And if I do find fellow readers, I often hear complaints about reading issues, mentioning that they could read for hours during younger years. This might be a sign that you think it’s a chore and reading inefficiently, and I hope to help you overcome that.

Music in a Nutshell

Ting, tok, tung, bakaww, wheeeu, *insert various other noises* – all just tools for music. However, it sounds like a disaster in a barn

The fault in our Goodreads reviews

The fault in our Goodreads reviews

Take a moment to pick a book, preferably in English. Then, search “*name of your book* review” on Google. One of the very first things you'll see are the ratings on a website called “Goodreads”, the Facebook of books.

Ember

ALBUM REVIEW / The “Ember” that's a bonfire

Sixteen years have passed since the release of “Saturate”, and like aged wine, Breaking Benjamin's music has matured beautifully. That notion is quite obvious as soon as you listen to the album that came out this year on April 13: Ember.

football fouls

The beauty of football fouls

Goals are a work of art. The blood, sweat and tears that go into them really give them a whole new beauty. However, in this World Cup, I had found beauty in something else: football fouls. You see, goals still maintain a linear procedure: shoot, score, cheer. But fouls? They're ever-changing. Goals may be art, but fouls are life.

Coco

MOVIE REVIEW / Coco: The movie that made me go loco

Music is a focal point of this movie, so the first thing I'd like to comment on is the incredible soundtrack. It's catchy as hell, well-composed, and meshes in with the movie beautifully. It even assists with the story progression both subtly and openly. In fact, it's so good that “Remember Me”, which is a song that is played frequently in various different scenarios in the

How to deal with proper criticism

How to deal with proper criticism

I think there are two types of critics. The first one is that one moron who has his top so high up his bottom that he forgets that literally no one asked for his opinion (emphasis on OPINION).

She watched the flashing hourglass beside two pink hearts, six hundreds and the number 658.

Dear Henry

Dear Henry

Things haven't been the same since you left us. We've all been stuck here in this pit of misery and we're hoping you'll come back, but we're all too painfully aware that you never will, regardless of how much we want to.

The struggles of not being photogenic

“Captain, we have a problem,” one of the little people in your head tells their overlord, who immediately tenses up. “What is it?” he asks warily. The little person turns on the screen which shows the outside world through your eyes.

Ships and the anchor

She groaned wearily and shut her eyes, pretending she'd never heard it.

Types of texters

Types of texters

Humans have a strange obsession with the classification of pretty much everything. While I'm more of a cat than a human, I still categorise stuff from time to time. So here are some common types of texters.

The High Intensity Interval Training Buddy

The High Intensity Interval Training Buddy

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a difficult thing to do. To work your muscles so vigorously within such a short time frame is both admirable if you manage to pull it off, and extremely tiresome. But you know what's even more

The consequences of having a dark sense of humour

The first rule of Fight Club is that you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is that you do NOT talk about Fight Club. Congratulations, now you know what to do about your dark sense of humour.

Secret Photo Stash

Secret Photo Stash

Everyone probably has photos they want to hide. It could be pictures of your crush or that one obscure and creepy meme that you found funny but if anyone else were to see it, it's solid evidence to throw you in jail.

Bookworm Peeves

Bookworms usually tend to have it hard. By “it”, I mean “the book”, which they usually prefer to have in hard cover.

The bright sides to a spoiler

Spoilers are something we avoid like the plague and any mention of them results in riots, pitchforks, and a whole lot of hate.

An infinite number of games

An infinite number of games

You've got two choices at hand. Choice number one is to go on the app store and spend hours and hours looking for games, painstakingly waiting for them to download (especially if you've got slow internet), trying them out and then sighing in possible frustration when you realise this isn't really that fun. Choice number two is to download “Bored Button”, an app with a possibly infinite number of arcade games, for free.

Colourful 2D Racing

Let me just first mention that I have a strong dislike for repetitive games where your only goal is to beat your own high score. However, it's with games like “Data Wing” that I make an exception.

The stages of reading fanfiction

Fanfiction is a… difficult thing, to say the least, in terms of all the things you could feel while reading it. We've all been there (well, I HOPE we've all been there or this is woefully inaccurate)

Finding a genuinely good free music player is annoyingly difficult for music aficionados. This is where JetAudio comes to the rescue.

All the strange things walk into a teashop...

These are the first words you see when you start watching this surprisingly unconventional show. If you tell me it doesn't immediately pique your interest, you're basically Pinocchio.

Types of Rickshawalas

This piece of work is in no way a slight to the image of rickshawalas. Regardless of what I tell you, without them, Bangladesh wouldn't be Bangladesh.

Was, Is, Will Be

My name is Tepners and here I'd been standing with two rather strange bedfellows, origins of our appearance in this room unknown.

How you're helping out the wrong way

Helping other people out regardless of what detrimental effects it could have on themselves is second-nature for some people.
