Weekly Photo Challenge: (Extra)ordinary

Beijing, China. March 2015

My first thought after looking at this week’s photo theme was “What?  Didn’t we do this theme and topic already?”.  Then I stopped being negative and just rolled with it because I thought of a great picture that would fit this theme. XD   Continue reading

AYCE Sushi at Ten-Ichi Japanese Cuisine

Located at 4810 Sheppard Avenue East in Scarborough

After our first full-day event at a health & wellness seminar, we were early to arrive at Ten-Ichi for my birthday celebration.  Yay!  The seminar ended promptly at 5 p.m. and I had made the reservation for 20 people for 6:15 p.m., without thinking that we would be done so early and with no meeting after meeting to attend to.  It was good this way regardless because we could slowly meander to the restaurant to have our all-you-can-eat Japanese food. 🙂   Continue reading

Wild Alaskan Salmon Fillet Burger at Hero Burger

Located at 230 Commerce Valley Drive East in Richmond Hill

You can say that we’re either very coachable or that we apply what we learned immediately to our lives.  In between the lunch break during the health & wellness seminar that we had last weekend, we satisfied our stomachs by eating at Hero Burger at Highway 7 and Commerce Gate.   Continue reading

Lunch at Hanabi Sushi

Located at 4188 Finch Avenue East in Scarborough

I’ve heard a little bit about Hanabi Sushi from some of my friends and how they get some free stuff from there because they know the owner/person who works there.  Alice, Euphemia, and I went there for lunch on a Friday to check it out and I was excited to see what this place was all about.

Hanabi Sushi is a Japanese restaurant located on a corner of the plaza that is at Midland and Finch in Scarborough.   Continue reading

Pho 88 Vietnamese Restaurant (Scarborough)

Located at 325 Bamburgh Circle in Scarborough

On a Monday weekday, six of us went out for a late lunch at Pho 88 Vietnamese Restaurant at Bamburgh Circle in Scarborough.  I can’t wait for the days when we get to retire and eat out with friends and work out (to maintain good health) and help more people to do the same.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy Place

My computer, Markham. October 2015

I feel like this week’s photo challenge is a little redundant.  Didn’t we have a theme like this before?  Nevertheless, for me, my happy place is going home, sitting in front of my computer or phone to go on social media or blog while relaxing to some pop ballads (most recently) and unwinding and recharging.   Continue reading

Breakfast at Markham Station

Located at 5117 Sheppard Avenue East in Scarborough

I’ve heard a lot about Markham Station and their breakfast specials but have never had the chance to go until now.  It’s actually quite funny because even my own mom has dined here for breakfast and knows about their breakfast specials.   Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge: Boundaries

Carnival Splendor cruise. February 2015

Physical boundaries!  When we were on the cruise earlier this year to the West Caribbeans, the Carnival Splendor ship’s boundaries kept you safe you sound.  If you CHOOSE to leave those boundaries, then you pretty much will die unless you have a flotation device or are close to land.   Continue reading
