our mission is to never let it




"I’m convinced that tragedy wants to harden us, and that our mission is to never let it.
I guess I’m learning, little by little, that we decide what our lives are going to be. 
Things happen to us but it’s our reactions that matter.”
- Sally, on Felicity

i have this weird liking to taking photos of people's backside.
that is my sister up there, from her last visit.
while exploring the little streets of downtown toronto.

every time she leaves for london, i consider hopping on a plane with her spontaneously.

into the streets, we're coming down





sometimes. weekend dim sum with the fam feels so necessary.
do you not concur?

reason will not reach a solution






some photos of the local flower shop by our church.
i must admit, i am a flowers-type-of-girl. yes yes.
i just think... they can lighten up a room.

i'm getting more into plants too.
succulents are nice and cute.
and the word 'succulent' is actually a favourite of mine.

seriously, it is.
hello, spring.

ps. remember florence? she's still well and kicking. lovely little thing.

my doe, my dear, my darling







a little pictorial exploration of our local korean market. aka the hangook shikpoom.
above, are two traditional korean desserts.
ho dduk (sweet korean pancakes) and boong uh bbang (a red bean filled pastry).
street food type of things. korea's street food is so good.

hope you all had a lovely easter weekend.

today, i was able to have a sit-down, relaxed, slow breakfast at home.
a paced down morning meal with many different spreads laid out for my toast.
a luxury i never have. as i'm always a robot in the morning.
waking up just. in. time. to make it on time. terrible habit.

i think i need to stop doing that. and start having more relaxed mornings.
because they're so nice.

4.07.2012

dear, i fear we're facing a problem







at universal grill with yury.
that PLT sandwich showcased up there was bomb.
actually, both our dishes were pretty bomb.

happy long weekend.
happy easter.

its an extra, extra long weekend for me.
i took two days off next week.
wahoooo.

ps. this cover. (my karaoke jam).

you're the only light, only if for a night






sorry if you don't like food photos, because...
i tend to be one of those people who take photos of everything i consume.

i just like food that much.

vietnamese with my family from the weekend.
apparently this place's pho broth kicks your fav pho place's pho broth's ass.
(as per my brother, sister, and friends of both).

did you understand that? thats a lotta pho in one sentence.
i'm more of a vermicelli girl myself. but gotta love pho broth. yum.

ps. this song. love it.

4.02.2012

and the only solution was to stand up and fight








brunch with my siblings on the weekend.

as always, it feels nice to have our big sister back for a visit.
our home, and family feels complete and live.
... and we always eat well when shes here. consistently. which i don't mind.

oh yeah, happy april!

ps. listening to this (hehe).
