Day to myself~

2012-01-28T15:07:00.003-05:00

Sometimes being a part of a couple, some people lose themselves.

Every Saturday I get part of the afternoon to myself. It feels so nice to get to know myself, to do things at my own without having to fuse over things about my other half.

Have you taken a day off lately, just to get in touch with yourself?

Random post for December

2011-12-19T14:18:00.001-05:00

I'm making it a habit putting up my random post of the month! Here are some pictures from December that I'd like to share, enjoy!

"Mom, meatloaf!!!" I have to say it like that everytime... Will Ferrell really drilled that in me (from Wedding Crasher)

Seafarer of Catan :) finally tried it!! It was a long game that took up the entire night~ James won despite the fact that everyone was against him (3 vs 1)

Delicious bread from Canyon Creek and my fave Riesling wine!

Noba is the anniversary gift from Em :) he is completely handmade from scratch~~

I even took him to work :)

Here is Happy, super obedient (because he thinks he is getting food (AWWWW!)

Miffy and Griffy playing their characters

My nerdy man and I decided that we cannot just have 1 computer at our weekday place... so we bought back my computer and put the two computers side by side... Now we can play Dungeon Defenders together :)

Jazz's baby on the way!

2011-12-09T11:37:00.001-05:00

Baby Shah is on the way!! Boy or girl! boy or girl!! Will find out in the next 24hours~

Typical Monday

2011-12-05T11:36:00.001-05:00

A day that Al's away is always a bad day... bad news first thing in the morning plus a sticky situation with some order... fabulous! I need another drink~

But on a brighter note... We finished playing both Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Hitman: Blood Money and then found a new game to be addicted to... Dungeon Defenders~ :) Gotta build towers and level up!!

the Blues~

2011-12-02T10:46:00.001-05:00

Winter is the strangest season of all. It is the season full of holiday spirits and very dark and depressing days~

Gourmet Food and Wine Expo 2011

2011-11-23T10:35:00.001-05:00

Just want to share the few pictures I took from this year's Gourmet Food and Wine Expo~ So much to eat and drink that there was no time for pictures~ Still, please enjoy :)

My favourite wine! Hinterbrook: Riesling

paired with cheese, cracker and sausage

I LOVE the seafood paella from this place and have gotten it everytime I saw it!

Delicious roast beef sandwich at Canyon Creek booth

It was a very fun time with lots to try and taste~~ I did not try much beer this year but I did get my St Ambroise Oatmeal beer :) Now I can go to the beer store for them! buhahahaha~

Random pix from November

2011-11-15T12:41:00.001-05:00

Randomness to start off November:

This is part of my library that I will be donating out... I will never reread them, but a lot of them had sentimental values... I can't believe that I read so many books before...

My comic collection that I'm getting rid of as well...

We have friends birthday throughout the month of November, starting with Em on the 4th, Alan on the 8th, Will on the 10th and Esther on the 12th (I think...) so... Happy birthday to all Scorpios~

This is the bunch that got ubber drunk on Eh-Lynn's birthday (minus Auntie, she behaved herself!!)

Recently, I've been craving spicy Korean noodles... this is what I made at work~~ :)

We decided to put up our tree early this year... Here is how the tree looked at 9am :)

This is what it looked like at 1pm

Finally, at around 3pm it looked like this :)

D3 beta!!

2011-11-15T09:14:00.000-05:00

Em got the beta, so we got to try it out! :)

First character? Female wizard by the name of Miffy. Basically your typical ice sorc~ So much more stuff to explore!!! <3

First screenshot of the game!

Miffy with Piggy, our first companion

LFL baby! goooooo Toronto Triumph!

2011-11-02T11:51:00.002-04:00

The weekend started on Friday night when we went to Real Sports Bar downtown and then proceed to watch LFL... It was the first time eM and I went to see a game live... it was a bonus that there were a bunch of girls in lingerie tackling each other ;) Unfortunately, the Toronto team lost 6-30(I think... it might have been worse)... But who could win against the American team? They were all big and strong!

the grp I went with for dinner + LFL

massive burger!!

look! it's half the size of my head!!

at the beginning of the game

in the little monitor above the field is Matt and Kevtar dancing to YMCA!

We ended off the weekend watching Elaine's concert... This was also another first for us :) I really liked the song Sway and I'm thinking about having it played at the wedding... what do you think?

Tuesday night: FAIL!

2011-11-02T08:05:00.001-04:00

No one from the original group wanted to meet up... Needless to say, we all stayed home... and I have been so looking forward to finally a Tuesday... Try again NEXT week...

----------

The thing that cheered me up today was this delicious slice of Red Velvet... So GOOOOD!

Surprise party for my 27th bday

2011-10-19T08:56:00.000-04:00

My fiance is the bestest =) He planned a surprise dinner for my birthday this year and us plus 11 of our closest friends ate at Spoon and Fork! :) Here are some goodies I got this year! (I'm still surprise!)

These are sooooo good~~~ *drools*

this is NOT tickle-me-Elmo

a pair of glove so soft and warm (and pretty too!)

my favourite tea in the whole-wide-world, from my buddy-o-pal and his gf

this beautiful scarf made with LOVE by Roni XD keeps me warm and pretty!

this is also from her, used it once so far and really like the smooth skin afterwards!

I'm missing some of the other presents I got... so maybe I can do an update when I go around to taking pictures XD I got a T-shirt and long sleeve from YY and a beautiful jacket from eM :) I also got clips (I typed chips the first time... hahahhaha cHips!!) for my bracelet =X heheh...

27 soon...

2011-10-06T11:58:00.002-04:00

It had just dawned on me that I will be turning 27 next week... wow... how time flies!

Random pix from September

2011-10-05T12:55:00.001-04:00

Let's tell a story with the following pictures... shall we?

I kicked eM off a cliff...

To be precise.. it was this one...

Then I found the ring...

And we were like 'let's fly!!!'

but that made the reindeer sad

and to cheer up the reindeer ate burger at Lick's (or turned into a burger.. have your pick)

finally, the sky started clearing up

but people missed the big waves

...and I mean BIG waves

and the puffy clouds

yet a man at the edge of the earth

was determined to find the perfect place

with his love....

I didn't kick him off the cliff... :)

Pigging out on Family Trip!

2011-09-13T13:44:00.003-04:00

First off... let me justify my pigging out during this trip with my family... I went white water rafting down Ocoee River for 3 hours... I deserved all the yummies that followed the next couple of days... :) Here's half of my trip down the river with the names of the rapids :)

Ok... and now onto the food! Due do the fact that moving lots of pictures around can be quite... painful... these pictures are at random... not in the order they were consumed (over 3 days...)

my first Seafood Gumbo

This was SOOOOOO awesome with 8 shrimps, 4 oyster and some crab meat... It was a very generous portion that made someboddy VERY happy, there was also a bit of rice at the bottom :)

Escargots + pastry

Close-up

Very oily, but the escargots were delicious~

Pork Belly

Tasted like the pork inside 'juong,' it was very fattie!

Smoked Salmon Tarte

Just plain mouth watering deliciousness... I love smoked salmon and capers... and there was plenty of them on this tarte :)

Strawberry Sangria

Not my only drink on this trip... but the only one the parents know about... :) Aunt said that it tasted like cough medicine... haha...

Blooming Onion

We had two of these orders, but it seems the family isn't too fond of fried stuff... wasted about 2/3 of the second one...

My side salad...

Ribeye with mashed potato

My steak came out... too rare... as were my parent's lamb chop... the chef lost his touch that night!

Fried Cheesecake topped with bananas, strawberries and whipped cream!

Sadly, this was my only dessert from the trip, but it was good :) I love fried cheesecake!

Florentine chicken in crêpe

Great sauce, but big portion, I was only able to finished 1 and 1/2... My bro finished the rest :)

Assorted fried seafood, and... fried alligator meat.

I was so surprised that alligator meat actually tasted like chicken! It was yummy :)

Misc Oyster Platter

I didn't get to try, but gpa did and he loves it :)

Something to cheer you up~~

2011-09-12T12:42:00.003-04:00

If you are having a bad day, like I am today... I hope this will help put a smile on your face. Just be grateful you aren't being swallowed by a red dragon! Bet you are glad that you are not a cat!

Aries

Cali

PS. Before anyone tells me I'm being cruel... this is suppose to be for Halloween... Just wanted to make sure the costume fits :)

Need new object of obsession...

2011-08-30T12:21:00.003-04:00

Have you ever been obsessed about something and then suddenly one day you lose all interest? I've had my iPod touch since last November and until recently have been something I can spend hours with... now... I only use it to play music at work and to play Angry Birds when they have their updates (which is getting less frequent now...) *sigh* I think I need something new to play with... Makeup is definitely not an option all the time... so any suggestions? I've joined DeviantArt and Makeuptalk... but still.. they don't hold my interest for quite that long... meh~~ okies... enuf... Lemme just share this cute picture with you and end this post for now, enjoy!

2011-08-26T10:41:00.000-04:00

Since Kevtar is too busy at the Fan Expo to come to work to take care of his pets... I am now babysitting the shrimps... haha... Here's a picture of Shrimpy and Sebastian!

The duty was then passed onto my bunny :)

Drying up at work...

2011-08-23T09:49:00.001-04:00

It seems counter-intuitive to have the heater on during the summer times... But when the office temperature is set to 23 degree Celsius it's obvious why. I can't seem to understand how such cold temperature is comfortable. It literally feels like I'm sitting in a fridge... On top of freezing, my contacts are becoming uncomfortable because of the lack of moisture in the air... Having trouble staying hydrated!!

Thanks goodness it is Tuesday, at least I got my weekly meet to look forward to tonight! I wonder what games we'll be playing tonight :)

Month-niversary: Aug 15, 2011

2011-08-16T12:29:00.000-04:00

This is what we look like 32 months after we dated... haha...

For this month-niversary, we decided to celebrate it at Canyon Creek. Here's the yummy!!

Spicy Calamari

Lamb Two Ways

Filet Mignon

We originally wanted to get the Slow Roast Prime Rib which we both LOVED, but they had a big party and everyone ordered it... Em was tempted to wait 1.5 hours for it however my stomach couldn't wait (it was 8 something by then) so... the manager gave us a complimentary dessert. Unfortunately I don't know where the picture went :| just imagine a delicious chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream! :)

Rollercoaster ride Saturday~

2011-08-15T16:19:00.004-04:00

Aww... so our original plan to hit the beach fell through on Saturday and we decided to go to shooting range and shopping instead... But the morning started a bit.. off.. our car was hit by some idiot driver who wouldn't let us merge into the lane even though our car was already in front of him... we thought he only hit our side mirror but found out there was more damage to the body later T^T should have gotten that guy's plate! Anyways... that's how our morning started... but the rest of the day went by okay (just with lots of stupido drivers...)

We decided to go shooting first... and here's is the gun that we shot!

JK :D this was on display... These were the actual guns we shot...

I still love the PS90 :)

Next we went shopping at Waldon Galleria... the only thing we got was... liquid nitrogen ice cream... It was mouth watering vanilla + Oreo goodness!!! I know I was to stay away from dairy products but these were just irresistible...

From there we also got these poker chips for Fallsview Casino that qualifies each of us for food at the casino or credit to play at the slot... There was a huge misunderstanding with the restaurants in the casino... so long story short we went elsewhere to eat, got some credits for the slot machine and won 100$ each =) also... as a bonus we got free parking :)

Update: 23/08/11

I forgot to post the yummylicious food we had at 'the Famous'

Corned beef on rye

"Mom, meatloaf!!" - the Famous Meat loaf

Somewhere on Mt Orford...

2011-08-09T09:04:00.002-04:00

Did you know that....

2011-08-03T12:30:00.002-04:00

Dairy can cause acne.

I discovered this little fact only recently... It came as a bit of a shock at the beginning, but then it kind of made sense... I indulge in cups of milktea at work everyday, I take my coffee with lots of cream and I love milk chocolate and icecream sandwiches... These are just a few things that whenever I had in excess gives me mild to moderate acne problems... of course, I know that excess sugar, lack of sleep, stress and oily food can be a cause too... but when those are kept constant and the only change was the dairy intake, it's hard to not think that milk is the main culprit behind my issue...

So... with this new bit of information, I've been replaced my daily milktea with green tea (or ginseng tea) the past week (with 2 slips...) and I find that my skin is slowly but surely clearing up. There is less redness on my cheeks and fewer new pimples or whiteheads... Let's hope I can keep this up!!

-------

Uggh uggh... soo I read up online... and I might actually be allergic to milk... sigh...

Little surprise...

2011-07-26T09:51:00.001-04:00

My friend returned from his 5 weeks long trip in India and bought back souvenirs... Mine was this wonderful mini Taj Mahal inside a snow globe. It's perfect :)

I have not owned a snow globed in over 18 years. The last one I had was a mini purple snow globe with a doll in the middle (which I had promptly broken after a show and tell in grade 2...)

I find them amusing and so mystical... Thanks Nak Nak :)

TekSavvy is awesome!!

2011-07-21T12:25:00.001-04:00

I love my internet provider. So far we've had it for 21 days and 'touch wood' it has been trouble-free! The downloading speed is awesome, no more lagging YT vids! So happy! Last night I was downloading movies faster than I can watch them :) The customer service is always awesome, you will always get someone to talk to and they have all been helpful and nice in helping you solve your problems and patiently answer your questions :) They have such pleasant people working there 24/7... So happy with them that I wish I had left Bell sooner!

^_^ just happy customer in general and wanted to share! :D

Funny article :)

2011-07-18T13:01:00.001-04:00

While looking at online websites I stumbled upon this article :)

Lazy day~~

2011-07-18T10:56:00.000-04:00

The morning started with "The Lazy Song," so I thought it would be fitting to post the following picture of Aries.

It was really hot yesterday, yet this kitty chose to be under the sun!!! Strange one!

SIGH

2011-07-15T10:28:00.002-04:00

The saddest part is, you are suppose to be the first person I turn to... but you're not.

Freezing at work..

2011-07-12T09:43:00.002-04:00

It's too cold in here... I always have my heater on and I sneeze like crazy if it is not -__- Wish I was home!

Random food post :)

2011-07-06T10:42:00.005-04:00

Some Montreal food and Tiramisu made by two of my gfs :D

Daisy's Tiramisu

Roni's Tiramisu

My moka at Café Java :) on July 1st, 2011

Lunch at Le Grand Comptoir <3<3 on July 2

Dinner on July 2, 2011

I love food :) I also love eating Tiramisu first thing in the morning, there is just something so appealing having alcohol for breakfast... haha...

Camping at Bon Echo Provincial Park

2011-06-30T09:23:00.004-04:00

(For bigger pictures... click on them!)

'Are you for real?'

Yes.. he is fighting with the bubbles

Sexy~~!

When you focus on the smaller things in life.. you miss out the big picture...

Umbrella fight!

Almost the entire camping crew!

plus me! (Daisy had to switch with me )

Making lunch :)

Journey of the Kayaks + Canoes

photos of each one under the rock!

Beautiful rock art all over the cliff

panoramic sweep of the cliff

We connected all the canoes and kayaks together and traveled as one... :D

top view from our hike

This is us after a long (2 km) hike uphill (I think it was called Cliff Top Trail...)

two lovebirds on a paddle boat (JK)

attempt to bake an apple pie... well... warm it up...

Shall we end off with a fob pose? :)

iPod = alive

2011-06-30T08:14:00.002-04:00

~~I woke up this morning to find out that my iPod won't turn back on :( I've only had it since November of last year... Can't believe it won't turn on anymore... Bring it back to the Apple store?~~

~~I'm more upset at the fact that all my pictures are lost... my memories... I wonder if it's fixable...~~

Apparently, it was my own stupidity. My iPod turns on now... I plugged it into the computer, press and held both power button and home button for 10 seconds and the magic apple appeared! *relief!*

Anywhere but here!

2011-06-22T10:29:00.000-04:00

I missed the warm beach sand, cool breeze and sunshine...

Yorkville Exotic Car Show June 19, 2011

2011-06-19T09:23:00.003-04:00

This was a great way to celebrate Father's day. We went with Em's family to check out 100+ gorgeous exotic cars displayed on red carpet Bloor street in Yorkville... The weather was perfect! Here are some of my best shots (and they still suck... i know!) Anyways, enjoy! Be warned, there's a lot of pictures!

Big crowd!

Rolls Royce Ghost

1955 Jaguar XK140

James Bond was kind enough to show his car at this event :)

Sexy in red...

They had the Aston Martin in many colours... this was my fave :)

Supported by 4 teacups...

2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera

Ford GT and other exotic cars!

McLaren SLR

Viper!!!

Porsche envy anyone?

I have to post this yellow 1964 Fiat, he looks so much like Luigi from Cars :)

Old school Ferrari

and more Ferrari...

This GT-R was not part of the show, but it is just too gorgeous to pass!

Red 1993 Supra :)

1969 Jaguar E-Type Convertible

I'm sorry I didn't name all the cars or all the years for that matter... But I figure it is better to leave it blank than to mislabelled them :)

Actually... if you go on the official Yorkville Exotic Car Show website you'd find a bunch of pictures of the cars there and the sponsors...

My first F1 experience...

2011-06-14T12:29:00.002-04:00

We were so excited to watch the race only to be disappointed.. We didn't realize that for 80$ general admission fee you only get to hear the cars... In any case... It was still an enjoyable experience until the rain started pouring down... haha.. I think it would have been better if we each had a beer, it would have been more chilling! In the end the race was temporarily stopped due to the heavy rainfall (which lasted 2 hours)... All in all, I think I prefer watching the race in the comfort of my own home or at a bar... Less wet, and more action... Though the sound of the engine was amazing :)

so many people at the general admission area.. and so many people paid for the bench...

my only decent shot from the race!!

Movies day! :D

2011-06-14T12:07:00.000-04:00

I got Monday off so that I could unwind a bit and just relax after the Montreal trip... We ended up watching 4 movies in 24 hours :)

Megaminds <-- third time rewatching it... LOVE IT :)
Pirates of the Caribbeans: On Stranger Tides <-- I enjoy it for it's action, but I hate being left clueless, about everything, for the entire duration, including the ending...
Kung Fu Panda 2 <-- love the shao lin soccer reference :) It was kid humour
Kick Ass <-- funny but NOT appropriate for kids

two happy kids after a movie

Random picture :)

2011-06-08T10:13:00.000-04:00

Photo of almost everything that I love

Unhealthy addiction

2011-06-06T12:39:00.003-04:00

I need a cheaper alternative to cure my boredom... I also need to cut my credit cards...

I have been splurging and over spending on makeup, clothes and shoes. I need to stop, but am not overly motivated to.. This month's credit card bill is already through the roof... Maybe I really need to get help.

Month of June... PACKED!!

2011-06-03T11:33:00.002-04:00

This month seems to be the month that everything is happening... so far I have 3 weekends packed with activities... The Canadian Grand Prix festival followed by Camping and finally back for the Annual Jazz Festival :D packed packed packed!! Not to mention that the first week of June is packed with warehouse sales... Yesterday I went to the International Centre for 3 sales, and tomorrow I'm going to the MAC warehouse sale! I'm on a highhhhhhhh....

Yay!! Splurgeeeee

2011-06-01T12:45:00.002-04:00

Already June, and without anything big to save for I can afford to buy whatever I need to start off this summer XD Let the shopping begin~

My list...

~~shoes~~
more makeup
work clothes
~~fun/casual/going-out clothes~~
anklet, actually just jewelry in general
cable connector thingy to connect my monitor to the wii!!
new storage for makeup
new bed sheets (I'm getting tired of blue and green)
purse

That's it for now... we'll see what else pops in my mind :)

BBQ + Juong + Wii weekend :)

2011-05-30T12:37:00.003-04:00

The chef and the bartender :)

most awesom-iest slider!!

These yummylicious wings were marinated by Daisy who refused to be in pictures.... so I'm tagging her on them :)

Sahan marinated the ribs :)

This is me on Sunday, with a face tooo white and a shirt too light!! I got it dirty later on in the evening! haha... These 'juong' were made to celebrate a Chinese tradition that is coming up next week =)we made both salty and sweet ones, and even though they didn't look that good, they tasted great!

The prettiest juong I made, though, there is no sticky rice in there and only green beans... oops!

The first salty juong we had!

On both Saturday and Sunday we played the Wii... I think Em really enjoys it :) I didn't really take pictures of people playing as it was too intense during the games =) Mario Party and New Super Mario FTW!!

Tick, Tock~~

2011-05-30T11:19:00.002-04:00

It's almost June...

First time watching a car race LIVE!!!

2011-05-24T13:14:00.002-04:00

We watched 2 (almost 3) races at the Mosport International Racetrack for the first time ever!

It was so exciting, with lots of beautiful cars and heart-pounding race! Here's some pictures of beauuuuutiful Vipers, Porsche and Corvettes! There were more cars but I can't upload them all so I chose to share this variety of cars. =) Enjoy!!

Update: just recently found out I'm going to the F1 race in Montreal in June!~~ boooyah!!

Spring time!

2011-05-20T10:46:00.001-04:00

You can tell that it's spring already because the Canadian geese family's are soooo big now! Here is 4 families outside of Ecowater...

The goslings are sooo cute and of different sizes.

My mean coworker tapped on the window and startled the parents + babies. One of the baby was so scared he pooped himself while running away =(

Oh.. and found out one thing today. I'm allergic to something (ie pollen or spores) during this season =(

Puppy fun

2011-05-15T22:25:00.002-04:00

This pup was so excited to see me... he peed all over me! haha... a real cutie and joy! I meet him for the first time since knowing Daisy~!

Meet Happy and his pink bone ^_^

Lost my ring :(

2011-05-10T09:58:00.000-04:00

I am so sad. I lost my Wendall August ring... and there is no replacement...

Everything I like, I always lose... sigh... further proves that it is pointless getting attached to things... or people for that matter... bleh~

Portal 2

2011-05-06T09:50:00.000-04:00

I'm still working on the single player on my account, but two weekends ago Em and I finished it on his account. It was so fun :) Last week we also tried out the two player version, and enjoyed it throughly!! GlaDOS is so funny! the 2 player is suppose to be cooperative but she keeps distracting us by comparing our performances or randomly picking favourites... She is definately something else! :) I also LOVE her song (Want you gone) and is very tempted to have it as my ringtone! Ahh... Games~ Can always count on it for entertaining you for hours!

Beautiful Saturday afternoon @ BR

2011-05-02T11:34:00.001-04:00

Spent afternoon chilling with friends :) Games + BBT + crushed ice = Yummilicious Fun!!

Crushed ice with red beans, grass jelly and condensed milk!!

Insane map with 5 cloisters all together!

I really enjoy playing Carcasonne, even though a lot of the time it is the luck of the draw, it does involve certain tactics. I was almost able to have monopoly of the bottom farm (which is a whooping 30 points!!) but later James and Ronnie both got their connecting piece for the second meeple. It was worth a try :)

I keep forgeting that Bubble Republic served crushed ice, so when Ronnie pointed it out we decided to get it and split it among us. It was very refreshing and tasted sooooooo good drenched in condensed milk! I just wish they had mango as one of the toppings!

Mid Life Crisis @ 26

2011-04-25T09:51:00.001-04:00

I'm slightly sleep deprived... Did not sleep well last night... Maybe a total of 2 hours... at most?

Terrible dream that I don't really want to remember. Ugh...

I saw my face this morning and couldn't believe how horrible I looked. When you don't rest well it really shows on your face. It seems that all the rest this weekend couldn't help compensate for last night...

When you are tired strange thoughts come to mind. I keep thinking about if onlys again... and it's just extra depressing when you see where you are and where you could have been if only you did something different. Maybe I wouldn't have stayed here and work a crappy reception job for 2 years... and I mean I got promoted, but I still sit at this desk everyday, and now that we have no more receptionist I am back here...

I will be turning 27 this year and it does not feel like my life is going anywhere...

feeling blue~

2011-04-15T11:05:00.007-04:00

Going through the motion of life but not really living it...

Can't get this empty feeling to go away and drowning it with material stuff doesn't really work...

28th month together~!

2011-04-15T09:06:00.009-04:00

For our monthly celebration we had Italian food at this place I can't recall the name... but the food was very good... especially the appetizers!!

Here's some pictures~

Chicken soup for me

2011-04-14T10:29:00.000-04:00

I've been craving chicken noodle soup since I've been sick this weekend so I was happy to see that Lipton Cup-a-Soup was on sale at the Shopper's near me for $0.99 a box. I decided to buy one box and try it out and I really like it. So far this morning I've had 2 packs... which also means I've consumed 56% of my sodium intake for the day... haha.. you win some, you lose some~ it was exactly what I needed.

I'm sooo happi :D

2011-04-13T09:50:00.001-04:00

One of my bestest friend just got engaged. I'm ESTATIC!!!!!

Wedding date pending, but will be in 2013!!!

We were randomly browsing through some cute wedding dress style for inspiration, but she's got 2 years, so plenty of time to find the perfect dress (as well as the rest of the wedding planning!!!)

Can hardly wait!!!

Bake for Japan

2011-04-12T10:54:00.004-04:00

It was raining early afternoon, thank goodness it warmed up later on!

This past weekend I was invited to take part in the Bake for Japan event that was held at the Amaranto Cafe on 809 St. Clair in Toronto. Several other locations across GTA was also part of the event. Together, generous Torontonians donated over $20,000 this weekend. All proceeds went directly to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

I was surprised at the amount of goodies (such as cupcakes, cookies, full sized cakes, t-shirts, buttons and many more) that were donated by bakeries (ie, the Guy who Bakes and the owners of Amaranto Cafe) and other volunteers. Another surprise was the amount of people who came out to make a donation on such a rainy day. I was truly amazed to see the power of kindness at work. It had been a great way to end the week =)

Ooh... very random, but we grabbed pizza at the 241 Pizza place just around the corner and it was sooooo yummy! The owners there were also very nice. This seemed to be a very nice neighborhood, filled with kind and giving people =)

Water

2011-04-07T09:48:00.000-04:00

As we all know, water is essential to sustain life, which is why we should fuel our body with sufficient water daily. I got these cute cups while I was in the states this weekend and made sure my body is water daily. Are you having enough water?

To find out how much water you 'should' have daily you can use the calculator found on this link: http://liftforlife.com/content/bodybuilding-fitness-diet-health-articles/diet-articles/341-drinkwater

I just wanted to share this because I found it on Google :) Enjoy!

My night :)

2011-04-07T09:32:00.001-04:00

By making time for myself yesterday I realized I could accomplish a lot of things I keep puttting off....

I managed to take a nap, play some angry bird, clean out some more garbage from my drawers, watch two movies (My Left Eye Sees Ghost '我左眼見到鬼' and How to lose a guy in 10 days) such awesome movies I keep re-watching :) , remove my leftover nail polish from my hand and my toe nails, repaint my toes, almost finish making stars for my brush holder and finally I had a snack with my grandparents around 11 last night ^_^

Feeling accomplished... haha...

Voilà! my eyeshadow brush holder :)

Making the straw stars really hurt my fingers, but it is all worth it cuz it look soooooo pretty ^_^

Another weekend of shopping!

2011-04-05T12:17:00.029-04:00

Grove City Premium Outlet + Millcreek Mall = lots of shopping!

The past weekend I went shopping with our usual group + two newbies and shopped to our hearts content for two days. I didn't buy much (other than makeup) but I did pick up a cute pair of earrings and a unique ring from Wendell August...

These are made from aluminium, hence are light and non-allergenic :) I really love them and are in fact wearing both today!

Boys will be boys. Even though it was a shopping trip they found time to goof around :)

parking lot at Best Western playing with rocket nerf gun

@ Wal-Mart playing with kids toy again!!

There was a pet store at the mall with some very CUTE pets... I had to take a pictures of these cuties, I wish I could bring them home!!!!

Note on the makeup shopping. It is definately better to shop for makeup with another girl :) You get more input and encouragement... of course that also means its more painful for your wallet XD

Time for change

2011-03-24T10:11:00.001-04:00

Every so often, people need time for themselves. I had one of those rare occasions yesterday evening. After getting home and changing out of my office attire, I went to shovel the snow in the driveway alone. I had a lot of time to think about things, and I'm not quite sure if it was because the cold made me more alert or if the action of the snow shovelling cause the increase of blood flow to my brain... in any case my thoughts were crystal clear. I was thinking about certain aspects of my life when I reached an "epiphany"!! (LoLs to the word in the UCLA girl vid!) I know the saying that "Good things will come to those who wait" unfortunately, I'm not a patient person so I let my impulses dictate my actions and everything I say (rarely thought through or filtered). Because of this, I realize that I cause many of the problems in my relationships and friendships. I feel responsible for everything that has gone awry. I am the reason for the failure of all my relationships with men, failure to keep close friends, in general failure to have any girl friends. I feel that my lonely existence is my fault and with all this realization, I am looking forward to change. But I will be doing it my way and at my own pace I just hope people will let me be and extend their patience.

I'm thinking maybe I need to go to a different place and start off fresh, however if I do that, will the relationships I have last?

Snow again!

2011-03-23T10:56:00.001-04:00

Ugh... I thought spring was on its way... I was wrong! We got snow last night and some more today... :( And today I was almost late for work since there was an accident on Eglinton! Sigh... We got spoiled by 2 weeks of nice weather and now that it snowed again people have to relearn how to drive :|

took this picture while I was stopped at a red light...

March 22nd - World Water Day 2011

2011-03-22T17:34:00.003-04:00

To celebrate WWD, we had a company BBQ and pot luck at Ecowater Canada and it was awesome!! We watched the "Water" clip, the VP made a small speech and so did the mkt manager, also everyone was involved because we each had a card that we had to read out loud... my card said "1 in 6 people don't have access to freshwater" whereas some of my coworkers had everything from "how much water is used to make beer" to "diarrhea"... yay!! Anyways, on a happy note there was lots of yummy food like wings, burgers, hot dogs, salads and cupcakes!!! Yummy cupcakes in my tummy... It was sooooo good I had 4 :) [plus 1 more the next day] They were so soft with just the right amount of icing I have to find out where to get them :)

* Nom, nom!! *

Friendship

2011-03-21T11:20:00.002-04:00

A genuinely good friend is one of those people that is HARD to come by. Always remember to cherish your precious ones~

:) fun week

2011-03-18T10:19:00.002-04:00

It's been a very entertaining week, seeing friends almost everyday and drank 2 weeknights! :) Good times!

I think I might just have to keep some beer at home, it helps me sleep at night :D Hopefully won't turn me into a raging alcoholic!!

No more indulging for the next 4 weeks!

2011-03-15T12:12:00.001-04:00

I'm broke broke... so no more shopping for unnecessary things the next 4 weeks...

I got too much in the past weekend.. and then today something I've been looking forward to since months ago was finally available... bringing me down another 75$... so yeah... no more for the next little while...

On the other hand, I'm an ubber happy shopper :) will have to take pics of the goodies I got :)

Haircut 2011

2011-02-28T10:34:00.002-05:00

So after postponing it for 6 months, I finally decided that it was time for me to get my haircut... and I'm kinda glad.. sorta.. I just realize because of my neglect these past few months, I'd probably have to spend more money... cuz my hair was sooooo damaged... oil treatment and better shampoo is required.... also because of my "experimental perming" phase, my ends are extremely curly, and I now need to invest in a proper flat iron -__-"

Anyways, here is the before and after!

before

during

after

So yea, it looks almost the same, but very layered and almost more assymetrical... but at least I look well kept... I think.... :D

N8 is back!

2011-02-28T10:00:00.001-05:00

Got my phone back and started customizing it right away!! Unfortunately, I don't have many pictures on it and can't change the wallpaper for the home screen to my own pics. Maybe I could upload some of the pics taken with my camera..

Anyways, next big project would be to get all the songs uploaded onto the phone.. that will take a while! Also, download some new ones :)

Joining an online cult... haha...

2011-02-22T12:18:00.000-05:00

I typed in google "I need a new obsession" and the site 43things.com came up... I'm considering joining it.. but.. Do I have the courage?? hmmmm...

Rings

2011-02-18T10:36:00.000-05:00

Here are the 20 (out of 4600+) rings that I found interesting on eBay yesterday...

Please note, these pics were taken from the eBay site, they don't belong to me.. just a collection of print screen of rings I found pretty...

Crushed...

2011-02-16T15:29:00.002-05:00

Just when things started to look good...

V-day~

2011-02-14T11:25:00.005-05:00

Happy Valentine's day to everyone who celebrates it.

Good luck baby!!

It's the day~~ Hope it all goes well~~

3rd time boarding this season!

2011-02-07T13:37:00.004-05:00

I was determined to work on my toe-side while boarding down. However, I didn't get as much practice as I would have liked since I tackled another new obstacle... the Blue hill... I fell a lot this time and my thighs are killing me (I was breaking all the way down the blue hill) ugghhh...

But despite all the pain I had a ton of fun. It was the perfect day for snowboarding with equally perfect company. Ronnie, Byron and Em :)

It was a great time and Ronnie and I made 9 runs (3 of which were on the blue hill) We had finished off the perfect trip with A&W... Wahh... the Papa burgers were SOOOOOO good :) I love the 2 for 1 deals, the rootbeer and the sweet treats they gave us.

I wouldn't mind going again... and getting night tickets :)

Missing my N8...

2011-02-01T10:40:00.001-05:00

It's been 2 weeks since I returned from my awesome trip, but also, 2 weeks since the 'death' of my N8...

I miss it... I wonder when Rogers will be done fixing it.... or replacing it... Gosh... So sad... It was such an awesome phone that took awesome pictures... :( Please, please I want it back!

Happies~

2011-02-01T10:37:00.000-05:00

Snowboarding twice in 2 weeks :D

First time boarding this season was at Horseshoe with James, Alan, Esther, Chris, Will, Jeff and Em!

I think it was the perfect way for me to start the season, since the runs are shorter it allows me to practise without getting too scared.. or so I thought... Surprisingly, I had picked up where I left off last season, and riding down that hill with my heels was almost second nature~ We also had very nice snow... Even though Em complained it was a little too sticky and the boards weren't gliding down as smoothly... Downer was that everyone skied, except for Em, Jeff and I so we didn't get to see much of the rest of the group, but we did meet up once and a while and had some good laughs :) Another thing was that Ronnie and Byron were at Blue instead of Horseshoe ughh... Last minute change of plans :(

The evening ended with us having dinner/snack at Richmond court, and food is always a good thing :)

The second time around we went to Blue Mountain. Again, the weather was flawless, but everyone tried out snowboarding. Unfortunately, Alan's arch and Will bad knee prevented them from snowboarding and they want back to skiing like maniacs down the hill! hehe... It was fun. It seems Chris had a natural talent with boarding. James, like me, was excellent on our heels... but not so much the toes! In fact, Em had to help us train a bit near the end... I am now comfortable toeing my way down :) Looking forward to more improvement this season. I kind of don't want the winter to end... However, I can do without the snow in the city... hehe...

1st Vacation!!! :D

2011-01-24T10:54:00.002-05:00

Em and I went on out first 'vacation' on the 9th! Punta Cana was awesome!!

We went snorkeling, para-sailing, banana boat, swimming with sharks, got massages with stingrays, walking along a beautiful white sand beach, ate to our hearts content every day we were there... and slept a lot! :)

It was a truly relaxing week and was awesome until the last few hours... I was panicking like crazy because we didn't have our boarding passes printed... turns out they were going to print it for us at the airport... *phew*

I would do this trip again, but next time I would like to go with friends also... There were so many activities that you simply cannot do as a couple!

Pho + Bubble Tease?

2011-01-07T11:45:00.010-05:00

:) last night was FUN!!!!

James and Ronnie and I meet up for dinner + bbt, and we decided to try out a new place! Bubble Tease!!

Love the decor, unfortunately the prettiness of the the chairs is not an indication of its level of 'comfort'.

Regardless, we had fun chatting and taking crazy pictures! :) would love to do it again sometimes!

Chinky day~

2011-01-06T08:42:00.000-05:00

Very Chinese this morning... I woke up... looked in the mirror and it was like

-___-

My eyes were open... but it looked like just lines! haha...

This is why I needed the Naked Pallette... Unfortunately it's still not in stock~ I will be looking forward to it when it does come around again!

N8

2011-01-05T10:23:00.003-05:00

I love my N8. :) It is such a sturdy phone with an awesome camera (12MP) and excellent battery life! Cannot wait to take pictures with this baby on the trip XD

Yay Yay!!

First fight in 2011

2011-01-04T08:42:00.004-05:00

and it was something stupid =/

bleh~

but for some reason, even though we fight I never doubt the relationship... more like I feel that it'd work out in the end...

Do I think that the relationship is set in stone? Ugh... How stupid...

Happy 2011 :)

2011-01-03T08:37:00.000-05:00

Just wanted to wish everyone an awesome year to come!

Destiny... not the same as Oasis

2010-12-29T09:43:00.000-05:00

Our usual destination for "the" Tuesday meet is Oasis in Mississauga... But yesterday we decided to toss it up a bit and went uptown to try out Destiny on Highway 7 + East Beaver Creek in Markham... Big mistake!

1. The seats were extremely uncomfortable, with everyone sinking right into the seats... The pillows were hardly helpful... Some people who are tall couldn't even see the top of their drinks, not because it was a big drink but because we were like kids sitting at the adults table...
2. There were lipstick marks on the glass..
3. Service was slow (although it was busy there... we couldn't imagine why...)
4. it was 30 minutes after we were seated that a waiter decided to come take our order...
5. Byron (the tallest guy at the place) was unsuccessful to get the waiter's attention.... Are these people blind or do they just not want businses?

Anyways... I really prefer our usual place... even though there is a smaller variety of drinks, at least we get comfortable chairs, clean glasses and good service... it is also much closer to home :)

We played Carcasonne yesterday and Ronnie beat everyone by at least 10 points! Good job!! :) Can't wait for next week!! Will be needing it since it will be a full week at work again... ugh!!

N8

2010-12-22T09:48:00.000-05:00

My awesome bf got me the phone that most suits me... the N8 :) I will be taking more pictures and will be uploading pictures taken by this awesome phone. So for in 1 week I have taken over 160 of random things~ just love it!

happy gift, not so happy delivery service

2010-12-20T09:22:00.001-05:00

Next time I buy a gift I have to seriously consider which courier to use...

DHL is horrible...

First off.. it charged over 17$ for duty + S&H for an item that is less than 30$... Second, the people there can't seem to give you a straight answer as to whether a second delivery will be made... how hard is it for them to look into their system to verify that?

I called Friday and was told that it was the final attempt and that I'd have to pick up the package at the DHL pick up centre in Brampton... On Monday morning I wanted to double check the address and I found out that the package will be out for delivery today and that if I missed this one then I can pick up my package the next day... Or I can put a cheque with that amount in my front door... How on earth am I suppose to do that? I have a 8 to 430 job and my home isn't exactly close... I also asked the girl if I can have the package redirected to my workplace and I was told that the info could be recorded but that the package is already on the truck.... So... she can't confirm if a 3rd delivery can be made and on top of that I won't be able to get the package until after Christmas...

DHL is a mistake I will never make again. I will never use its service again... Would also not recommend it... Unless you want to double your cost and increase your stress level...

Snowboarding Season on its way!

2010-12-06T23:04:00.000-05:00

Blue Mountain opens this coming weekend and Em's already thinking about going! But I'm really excited and I want to go! also I want to try out Mont-Orford near Magog where Daddy works! Its close enough to Wong Tong restaurant so that we can snowboard all morning, run for food around noon and continue with it until 4.... Kinda sad that they don't have night skiing tho... :(

Les photographes

2010-12-06T12:31:00.004-05:00

:) had a fun morning snapping pictures with mommy :) here's some sample of my "art"

lonely one

bursting one

one big crowd

These pictures were taken with my awesome D80 with a Sigma 18-200mm lens :D

Settlers of Catan

2010-12-01T09:38:00.010-05:00

First thing in the morning I tell people at work about playing Catan, they immediately assumed it was a "Chinese" game... Upon research it is discovered to be a GERMAN game created in 1995...

Anyways... It was cuthroat again last night :| the good thing is that the girls stuck together! Ronnie and I came VERY close to winning at 9 points. Longest Road + 1 city + 5 settlement + 1 victory point :) Nerdstar! But it was still fun!

Also, Ronnie and I took a bunch of booth pictures with my iPod!! Lots of goofy pictures, however I need to be selective and put all the 'showable' ones together, so we'll see when I get to it!! I wonder if it can be done on the ipod~ Actually, I'm really enjoying my Apple just because of how convenient it is to download and install things, although yesterday was my first time being 'caught' downloading an illegal version of a calendar app by its producer :( sad!!! I really liked the app...Sometimes I wish I wasn't so cheap... XD maybe I will pay for the app... maybe... haha...

Extremely random picture taken with ipod then put together with PhotoShake

Some cuties at home!

Don Don sooo tired after a whole day of walking at Woofstock!

First time for me, first time for Hilton!

2010-11-29T11:03:00.007-05:00

I went to Woofstock for the first time with Em's family. Quite an interesting experience :) Saw lots of dogs that were sooo cute and awesome... Many of the bigger dogs were so timid and like Hilton had their tails between their legs... But most if not all of the miniature and toy dogs were outgoing and just loving the attention people were giving them... Strange.. I always thought that the bigger the dog the more confident they had!!

Saw my first Irish Wolfhound... OMG they are soooo big!! even bigger than the Great Dane!! and soo cute!! Due to curiosity, I looked them up to find that they are wolf hunting dogs and were used in wars!! Would never have guessed since they have such a goofy face!!

Also some cuties that we saw were pomeranians, pugs, Greyhounds, Chow Chows, Alaskan Malamute, American Husky, Collies, golden retrievers, chihuahua, poodle, Afghan hound, Basset hound, dachshund, beagle (puppy), yorkshire terrier, boston terrier, bulldog, schnauzer, german sherpard, and two dogs that I really want.... the Shiba Inu and the Italian Greyhound... OMG SUCH CUTIES!!!!!! i vant them alll!!!!!!

Here are some picture I took... Enjoy :)

My future dog!!

Tech Elle!

2010-11-19T11:49:00.000-05:00

I want a smart phone now. This way I'll have access to Internet anywhere! Ugh... This is going to be an expensive hobby. Never thought I'd be so crazi and techy.

N8?? or... N900??

I just know that I will be sticking with Nokias :)

ipod touch~~ a new obsession!

2010-11-08T09:31:00.000-05:00

I'm going to be honest, I do not like hardcore Apple fans... which in turn made me dislike Apple. I was one of those people who did not understand the hype.

But...

I got a my ipod touch this weekend.... and I am obsessed with their apps... Currently... I'm addicted to Pocket Frogs :)

Happi birthday Em!!

2010-11-07T13:01:00.002-05:00

I set out to make dinner for 5 people.... I had enough food to feed 8+ people :) Here's a quick list of what was for dinner

A plate of finger food such as cheese and crackers and kalbassa
Raspberry baby spinach salad sprinkled with almond in a balsamic vinegar + olive oil + honey dressing
Virgin sangria (white grape juice + soda drink + raspberry + blueberry + orange + lime)
Spare ribs with Szechuan sauce + honey
Chicken pot pie (bite size! and sooooooo good!)
Smoked salmon
Baked Potatoe skins
The main entrée was a chicken farfalle with a white sauce

This was basically my present for Em this year... a dinner I made for him and his family... oooh + I also made him a mojito when he got home... :D

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa

2010-11-02T10:24:00.000-04:00

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa

from: Dr. Demento's Delights
Warner Bros. 1975 BS 2855 0698

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to
leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...
You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see
I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!

You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said
that losing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and
laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??
Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you
in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!! And...

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy
to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming
to take me away, ha-haaa!!!
To the happy home, with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time... (fade out)

Hey, buddy!

My Halloween Look for 2010 - Tim Burton's Corpse Bride: Emily

2010-11-01T13:44:00.008-04:00

My interpretation of Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

First off, I just want to say that this costume was totally spontaneous. We were at Winner's when it was decided that I'm no longer doing the Grudge Lady and switching off to the corpse's bride. My friend YY was the one who spotted this kid's size 12 gown and I was convinced to try it... and it fits! It is a beautiful white dress with a very puffy bottom, but it is about 6 inches too short... (at least I'm taller than a 12 year old!!)

Next, we proceed to working on my head piece, since Emily has blue hair, I decided to find a wig... upon searching online I realized that the online stores are all out of stock for a decent priced blue wig.... BOOH!!! I would have gone with my natural black hair.... if I didn't find the 'Candy Girl' wig at Spirit Halloween the day after!! (I think it would have worked... right??)

To complete the bride look, I used some mini clips (in place of a tiara) and a squared neck scarf to make the veil... It worked :)

To create the bony arm on Emily I cut up some paper bones and taped it onto my black shirt and connected the shirt to the skeleton glove I had with a black hairtie. Because Emily had a pair of ripped white long gloves on her, I was able to cover up the part where the two meet with it. It was perfect! I also noticed that she had loose blue skin on her right ankle so I decided to put on a pair of blue socks to imitate it... :)

The final piece that I had worked on was the bouquet, although I know that her bouquet was not blue and purple... but it was the only ribbons I had avaiable to me at 10pm that night... so it will have to do... I made the 5 roses and taped it to a small pen I had and wrapped it with the green tape... The bride now has her bouquet, and it ready to chase her groom.... mukakakkakaka :D

Oh... and the makeup took 2 hours to apply the next day... :D I got this white cream makeup from the dollar store to create the white canvas.... although next time I do this, I will know the let it dry completely before applying makeup :)

Lastly, if you want to do this makeup check out audfaced on Youtube. I got the instructions from her video :)

I have never... in my whole life applied two layers of nail polish perfectly without having to redo them... Tonight however... I did it!

Unfortunately it did not last...

I had to work on some last minute detail to complete my look for work tomorrow... :) hopefully it's worth it!

Was it worth it?? :)
