Movie Review: Charlie St. Cloud



Last night we finally found the time to take a house movie trip, although very last minute, to go and see Charlie St.Cloud. The movie had me hooked with the adorable smile and sleak hair cut of Zac Efron.

Although the trailer looked very chick flicky, I give this movie a lot more credit then that and would recommend it as long as you don`t mind having a good cry.

It`s really hard to summarize the movie without giving to much away, so I recommend you watch the trailer on youtube and then go see it.

Big City Living

As most of you know I love the city and everything about it: the noise, the people, the consant buzz all around. But being in the city you often forget about the natural beauty that is right above you.

This weekend we went down to the beach and had a little bonfire (one of my favorite summer activities may I add) and I found myself in awe over the beauty of a clear night sky filled with so many stars.


That same night sky lies over me every night, but it isn`t until you are only meters away from the hustle and bustle of the city that you realize and remember its beauty.

The Last few Bits of Summer

Summer has flown by like no other, only 3 weeks left, NOT that I`m counting!

I have found this summer to be much more enjoyable then some of the previous. Maybe that is because I`m not preoccupied with completing summer courses and can actually just enjoy the summer months!

I have been to a couple great concerts lately, flourished by some great company.


Kings of Leon was a little over two weeks ago now. Overall a pretty good concert. They sound exactly like there album live.



John Mayer on the other hand was absolutley incredible, not that I would expect anything less. We had a great time rocking out to his old and new songs along with some great covers.

Last week we had some family visitors from overseas. We got to hit up the Jay`s game, which was a lot of fun.


Over the August long weekend Beck, Nick and I headed up to Shawn`s cottage in Aurora. We got in some great days of wakeboarding, swimming, suanaing and just chilling.

I did manage to get up on the wakeboard for a very brief stint, thanks to the wonderful instruction of Beck and Shawn.


Overall the summer so far has been very complacement. Some very exciting weekends, along with some very chill ones. Looking forward to the just enjoying these next couple weeks of gorgeous weather!
