Making tomato pasta sauce that turned out more orange than red
Drinking lots of fluids – oj on the left and chilled japanese green tea on the right
Sneaking up on Fboy playing with the christmas ball he managed to get off the tree
Using the pasta sauce to make dinner
Waking Fboy up to chat. He sleeps on the top of a cabinet in the kitchen. This is me looking up at him.
I’ve been neck deep in work, I almost want to say shite but this shite makes us money so it’s nice shite. Well I’ve just been a wee bit grumpy because, hmm, it feels nice for a few hours a day to be super productive but the adrenalin trickles down slowly as night creeps into early morning. Then it’s 6AM, oh no!
So at times like these, I either really want to spend all my money on a nice bag or I dream of travelling. The big urge to urgh, do something that would make me smile for ten days straight! I’m digging these out from my photo collection, I don’t have new material to share at the mo’. Photos from my visit to Toronto, Canada, back in 2008. Ben and I went to visit my brother who was working there then.
We took the Amtrak train from New York City’s Penn Station to Toronto, packed sandwiches for the 12-hour ride
This is New York’s side of Niagara Falls. The train ran through, Poughkeepsie, Buffalo… I stopped counting after a while.
We got in the city at night and the first thing we did after putting our bags down was to go get a tattoo. This is where I got my gnome done.
And this is Kayla, the first husky I’ve ever befriended and lived with.
It was Spring when we arrived so the plants were happy things, even this was beautiful and I took this outside my brother’s apartment, along the pavement.
Like nothing I’ve ever seen before; Kensington Market
My brother cooked dinner
We had Wendy’s!
I love beavers so I yelped at seeing this
And I yelped again when my brother drove into a drive-thru ATM (?) Never seen anything like that either.
We stopped by this quaint town on our way to Niagara Falls, I forgot what its called. I love this photo in particular because it just shows how touristy Ben & I are. Busy taking photos while the locals sit on a bench on top of a hill and feed on cakes and such.
My brother and I
The magnificent Niagara Falls, it’s so big and loud and unreal
After the Falls, we headed back to Mississauga and went to an all-you-can-eat-wings buffet with some of his friends!
We went to Canada’s Wonderland on our last day
Then we drove to one of his friend’s home in the outskirts of Toronto for dinner and his mom made pupusas, oh my, my taste buds died and went to heaven while eating it.
I’m sorry, this was long!

All shot on Fujifilm Superia 400 with my Canon EOS 66, it’s a bit of leftovers that never made it into a post!

It’s Friday but no hurrays from me because it’s gonna be a working weekend for me. I’ve been staying in most of the week trying to meet a pretty crazy deadline. The only fun thing I’ve been doing is blending fruits up! And making tomato soup and I’ll try making cauliflower cheese soup over the weekend.
The photos will feature my one and only glass cup and it’s feeling a little sensitive cos I chose to use another cup today, yeeeps.

Some photos from Au Revoir Simone’s show at The Esplanade last Sunday.
Just to show the cute outfits they had on!
Pretty much want Erika Forster’s dress, yes
The girls had the cutest smiles in the whole world really. They played two shows that night and I went for the earlier one. I’m not sure if they saved the best for last or something but there were many obvious mistakes during the first show. Which made it very awkward to watch. And they didn’t play The Lucky One! Guess I ain’t so lucky. Regardless, I had a real nice time with xwen and friends tho which goes to show, good company trumps all!
