it's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky

look! this is my new mini globe.

i remember when we lived in our old house, my sister had a big one.
when we moved, i think it was thrown out.
without my approval.
i really liked that globe, you see.

i've wanted a globe since.
my room is teeny. which makes this mini globe just perfect.
my friend laughed at me when i bought it.
but it actually makes me smile. is that odd?

anyway. happy.. uh... tuesday.

you're probably hoping never would end

ugh. sunday night. comes too soon.
did you have a good weekend?
mine was alright. tiring. short. but kinda fun, i suppose.

its weird that february has come to an end.
really weird. soon enough, spring will be upon us.
and winter kind of feels like it never even came.
(watch i speak too soon).
i even finally purchased boots to fight the snow.
that could mildly sound like a complaint. but its not.

im finding that i really hate being super cold. (likewise, super hot).
i actually sincerely enjoy having and feeling all four seasons.
but the serious extremes of both hot and cold equals yuck. and grump.

anyway. so. the picture. i completed this task and have now initiated a new one.
actually me and jeana were attempting a different pattern.
but its like, super difficult. and seems impossible at the moment.
so i'm using the above materials for something a bit more rookie.
aka easy. aka possible-to-follow-from-a-noob-like-me.

but we will conquer that other one. eventually.

you're too insistent, don't you stop and distant

hi, happy thursday.
this short week is seeming pretty... well, short.
short and busy.

i met my highschool love gagan yesterday.
i swear we are two peas in a pod. still. after all these years.
kindred spirits for sure.

anyway. here are some things in and around.
some new booties. my work shirts. my fav new ring (or weapon?).
and the new elephant friend, that i bought with gagan actually.
ps. listening to this and this lately.
pps. i think i'm getting braces. eep

to something better left unknown

some last week valentine DIY-ness. courtesy of here.

how was your long weekend?
weirdly, mine seems like a big blur.

guys, i need a little pick me up. i'm feeling... fidgety.
and drained. busy. but not at the same time.
um....

and at once i knew, i was not magnificent

HAPPY FRIDAY.
this week seemed long. right?
but we get a long weekend.
high five for family day, wooo.

so that up there.
... those would be potato chip cookies.
sounds weird right? or amazing. pending on what your tastebuds are like.
let me confirm for you: they're pretty interesting and tasty.
especially if you like salty eats. i sure definitely positively do.

ps. watch this cover. just wicked.
(you should know i love him by now).

do you still remember, how we used to be

happy one-day-late international love day.
(wait, is valentine's day international? er...)

anyway. this is some swag from the red, pink, chocolate and heart infested day.

i actually like valentine's day.
its a cute day, i feel.

ps. my esther ohsy oh made me that card. isn't it just lovely?

louder than sirens, louder than bells

our dessert. from our montreal pitstop. we went on a mild hunt for these badboys.
and i'm glad we did.
ive had my share of macarons, but these were a bit different. (in a good way).

have you ever tried ice cream macarons?
well... they're pretty phenemonal, won't lie.

hope you had a great weekend.
real talk: i'm in need of something to look forward to.
which usually equates to "i need to be traveling somewhere". and soon.

the way we sleep, like theres no sunrise

after we skated in ottawa last weekend, we headed to montreal.
just for a couple hours.
to... well, eat.

it had to be here, obviously.
was my first time there. my fellow friends were hyping it up the whole way there.
and can't lie. guys, its pretty good.

also. montreal seems pretty promising.
i think next time, i'll stay for more than a couple hours.

ps. happy weekend. i need a good one.

once upon a time, on the same side in the same game

our weekend was long, but short. a bit too short, it seemed.
oh, and also very packed.
and of course, very, very, very fun.

the whole thing started with a skate on the canal in ottawa.
we did over 12km.
picked up some beaver tails. and frozen taffy. and apple cider.
also, i got to see my lovely cousin emily.

was a perfect little pitstop. to get to our final destination, that is.

didn't have to stoop so low

ah, thursday.
finally. you are here.

this week has seriously just flown right by. no complaints here though. at all.
but also, this week is a legit shortened work week for me.
tonight, me and a few friends are trekking to mont tremblant for some snowboardage.
actually, we're making a few pit stops before too.
to ottawa. and montreal. to see a few faces.

i need this so bad.
i've been feeling like i need a little getaway. an escape, if you will.
its good for the mind. you know?
some snow therapy.
i need this really bad.

and its my first time boarding outside of anywhere somewhat accessible to torontonians.
basically, outside of ontario. whooo. 
i am stoked.

this weekend totally crept up on me.
and i'm getting more and more antsy as the hours pass by.
five o'clock. please. come. now.

ps. that was a dinner i concocted this week (inspired by this).
turkey feta meatballs. with sweet potato fries. and asparagus.
i like all things about that combo.
