all good things

The holidays are winding down and I’m glad I’ve been relaxing and busying myself enough to not have time to blog.

I don’t even know how to do this.. be prepared for a long long long post.

Lol. k.. skating! I guess no outdoor skating this year.. maybe next year?

Hehe, worthwhile trip because I learned to skate backwards! Woooh

Boring Christmas Eve spent at home.. but very exciting Christmas! Got to open tons of presents from my own personal santa and his famfam, hehe. I’ve already started using, eating (yes, I get snacks for Christmas :D) and wearing most things already. Headed over to his cousins for Christmas dinner.. mmm.. love the food. I didn’t get to take a picture of the food.. but there’s cookies!



There was a santa picture on a chocolate piece of the dessert!

Boxing day shopping was .. horrid. I got nothing… Anyway, after that fail.. went to get ice cream at marble slab! Ice cream on a rainy day.. is not bad! I ordered cheesecake with marshmallow and cookie dough addons and he ordered… peanut butter banana with chocolate chip addons (how boring!!). haha. Mine didn’t taste amazing though…. Bad choices on bad part still. Waffle cone was pretty good though..


Raptors game against Detroit Pistons. My first basketball game! It was pretty exciting!! But I was stupid and forgot my zoom lens! :(


Sat around Union station to waste some time :)

I love being at the station, reminds me much of the Nuit blanche exhibition. I would honestly sit there all day and just people watch.. places like this and airports!!
Dinner at Joe Badali’s. Maybe it was cause I ordered the wrong things..or I don’t know. I didn’t particularly like this place. The calamari was really disgusting cause the batter had no seasoning whatsoever. The dessert was amazing though and made everything better. I don’t even recall the names of the pastas.. these Italian restaurants and their menus.. For dessert we got Brownie Cheesecake!! It was so delicious.




Finally got the see the girls for a Christmas dinner! Thank you secret santa ;)






The rest.. can be found on my picasa. You’re smart if you stalk me on the regular and already know! Anyhow, just ask me or… something

Wow this post is sooo long!! New Years Eve! Could have been better… but spent with the ones I love so that’s all that matters..


Japanese noodles for long life.. hehe.

He does all things graceful. I swear. Haha.

Japanese new year celebrations today..at his grandma’s place!




Dessert was amazinggggg, mud pie and some jello cake thing!


Hi baby. (Japanese babies are the cutest!)

Played some games, made a 3 year old friend, and he showed me books he read when he was young.. heh.

New years reflections/resolutions next post… way too long. Jees -__-

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.
