the strength of my own wooden heart

I like this song.

PS. Happy July. Before we know it, summer will be long gone.
Yikes.

Time, relax a little, will you?

its too late, its too late

Our NYC trip was amazing.
Took me a good couple days to restore and replenish, but yes, our trip was so good.

The thunderstorm scare was a tease and didn't really occur. At all. Phew.
Our weekend was jam (ram) packed with lots of walking, lots of eating, and lots and lots of photos.
Oh, and a drink or two. Or three?

Bare with me, you shall be properly informed. Bit by bit.
(I kind of went on photo-overkill-mode).
Here are some photos from our first day. Shopping in Soho & strolling around Washington Square Park.
Running on no sleep. And plenty of walking. Hehe.

PS. This past weekend marked my bloggie's 2nd birthday. Weeeeird.

and everything's forgotten, i know you hate that

Good news. Off to NYC for the weekend.
Bad news. Thunderstorms forecasted for every day we are there.

Brutal, buzz killing, bad bad BAD news. I hate when the weather kills a good plan.
Whatever, we'll make the most of it!
(But I am super intensely hoping and praying that the rain will hold off).
I'm excited nonetheless. For the food, oh the foooood.

Here are some photos of what I'm taking with me.
Conclusion is that... packing kinda sucks.

Anyway. Hope you all have a stupendous end of week + weekend.
I hear its going to be raining in Toronto too...

and i'll gamble away my fright

Dinner at my dad's most fav restaurant.
Seoul House (haha). No but seriously, he actually really loves it there.

Happy Father's Day Appa!

PS. Those aren't his sunglasses, they're Leo's. (I put them on him). But my daddy is still badass anyway.

but the waters rising up, now all my lovers raise their cups

Gallivanting around Queen West.
Which is one of my fav past-times.

It was a food-filled weekend. Really filled.
I'll have to show you photos of that later though.

Byebye weekend. Hello three-day work week. Smiles!

we move at slow paces

First of all, what a wicked band name.
Second of all, does this song not have summer anthem written all over it?

Yes, yes I think it does.

its far too early in the morning to be trying to call you

So... I guess I should let you all know that I have (finally) purchased a new camera.
(Insert extremely happy, yet slightly guilty face here). 
I'm obviously very excited, but kinda scared slash intimidated. Can't lie.

Anyway, here are a few of my first shots over the last week.

P.S Boston won the Stanley Cup! What happened there?
P.P.S Don't make fun of my ancient boxy television. Right under there is my even more ancient VHS player. Yup.

i'd rather be a comma than a full stop

Coldplay released their new single last week.
I'm amped for their new album.

she said, do me a favour and stop flattering yourself

Digging this.

Oh, Pooh Bear : )

i'm so gifted at findin' what i don't like the most

Oh man, the air is getting so nasty, thick.
There was a moment today where my brother & I felt Korea... here in Toronto.
Smells of deep-fried food & ridiculous humidity levels.
When its too cold, we complain. When its too humid, we complain. Yikes.

Anyways, my summer hours have started. That means earlier-starting-weekends.
This is good news. Good news, indeed.
You know what else is good news? New York in two weeks!
Thats right kids.

i would take my last dollar out and bet it on you

Happy Weeeeekend.

This past week I finally got me a little bike! Perfect for borderline-midget-little-ol-me.
Have to do some adjustments and upgrades on it, but I'm pretty happy (ecstatic) about it.

In lieu, please enjoy the following visuals! I love me some good ol' flickr finds.
