maybe two is better than one

:( hehe. haven't blogged in a month+. School has been doing its job at owning me and my social life.

Last weekend was kinda amazing, he came back! First night, we went to try Joey Bravos. It was his second time there and my first.. It was actually okay. The restaurant was basically empty, except for the bar. The calamari was soooo good! Except  They didn’t have the sour cream sauce.. I had a smoked salmon pasta and I think I was a bit too happy and distracted to realize whether or not it was good. It was just mediocore I think. Not bad though!

For dessert, we shared a tiramisu :P


Next morning, he made me breakfast :) I hate eggs, but omlettes with loads of cheese and other stuff + lots of salt and pepper is fine. Haha.

Yes I requested for hot dogs and cherry tomatoes in my omelette.

Went to school and class then took a walk down the valley.. to take pictures!
The trail started off with this tree!

So obviously, we had to be in on the love! :D



I honestly had no idea where we were going but we found bridges to take pictures on :)








The sky was getting dark super fast although it was only like 4 something :( so we had to go but the sunset was a great backdrop :P

No lie it was so scary walking back to school through that forest trail. Holy crap :(

Next morning, he came to pick me up from work with a rose :) eeeeeeeeeeee :D Went to church to help out a bit then out to dinner with the family at some white, no seriously white Chinese restaurant. Everyone eating there was white.
Went shopping on Sunday with no luck, I’m so picky and small. I hate shopping and not getting anything :) Wanted to go sushi buffet but we went too late, it was going to be dinner rate :( So we just ordered a sushi platter and.. pigged out.
Monday morning, he woke up early to join me in class again :) Went to the school restaurant, Rex’s Den for lunch. The food was cheap but bad. You honestly get what you pay for. I ordered buttered chicken and he ordered chicken pasta.. The nacho also didn’t have enough cheese! And no sour cream again!


I think that was a big enough update/post, cause honestly within this month +, this weekend was the most interesting. So.. 5 days out of.. 5 weeks I actually did something with my life other than studying my life away. I know, you’re all jealous -___-'.

Near to you

Thanksgiving weekend couldn't have been better.. spent with friends and boyfriend+his family.
I should be studying right now but.. nope, just waiting him to land.

Friday: Dim sum with friends at an awkward time of day but was so fun! I totally didn't think of taking pictures..
I wanted to go to summers to get ice cream but dim sum was sooo filling so maybe the next time he comes back? :(
Changed, and was almost late but it was like pouring outside :( Decided to walk to Il Fornello instead of streetcar... why? :( But anyway got there and.. almost everyone was there already.. oopsies lol. hehe, it was lovely to see everyone again. and the presents! <3 Then just hung out for a bit afterwards..

Saturday: Morning walk to haircut place (so nice and peaceful!). His haircut lady was commenting on how I've matured through the years since she met me.. that was sweet of her and nice to know :). Stopped by mcdees for a quick breakfast. lol, waited around while he got his hair cut and decided to walk around st. lawrence market.. Our second breakfast consisted of a hot crepe with chocolate, hazelnut and walnuts. It was soooo good! Then walked towards Smoke's Poutinerie, I got the traditional while he tried the chicken peppercorn. That was pretty good!

Sunday: Family thanksgiving dinner at his house. I can't say enough how much I love their family gatherings and just their family in general. There's always so much food and people. And the baby cousins! The most adorable kids ever.. they've grown so much since these past two years. love love love <3 Played Beatles rockband, it was pretty fun :) It's nice to know most songs and try out the harmonizing.. Continued playing with just the sisters after the guests left :) hehe.

Monday: Needed to get working/studying.. so just studied for most of the day. I say we are pretty good with staying with studying tasks except for food distractions. Haha, had dessert from the night before (apple crumple and pumpkin pie) for an afternoon snack. MMmmm so good!! After that.. tried to study ... lying down in bed - not a very good idea! Fell asleep until dinner.. haha. Turkey soup for dinner from turkey last night, so delicious :) Then it was goodbye time :(

Wow it took me so long to type all that, his plane probably landed alreadY? yay. So pictures time, didn't take much really.. :(

Chicken Parma .. it was okay! not amazing but was a surprisingly large portion!

Linguine di Mare

delicious birthday cake.. omg. so good.

so come home cause i've been waiting for you














Sushi at .. Sushi Tower? I don't remember.. wasn't the best meal ever. The sushi was kind of.. lacking and the soy sauce was way too .. salty.

Nuit Blanche was kinda a disappointment. I never.. realized how crowded it's gotten.. I remember it's first year, there was like.. like not even half the amount of people I saw Saturday. It's getting too overrated.. though I wish I was in a better mood and had more time to explore some of the more hidden works.
My favourite was.. the Imminent Departure at Union Station Grand Hall. Something I could relate to at least and it was just so creepy, so gorgeous and so mysterious at the same time!

2.5 more days!
