After standup paddle boarding in the morning with Smiley Sarah and a comprehensive business training session in which I had a small part in (hehe), Mabel, Sarah, and I went for dinner at a beef noodle place that Mabel frequents. Beef Noodle Restaurant doesn’t look like a great restaurant from the outside but you can say that it’s a gem. It resides on Sheppard Ave E near Midland. Continue reading
Paddle boards
The other day, I posted a picture for the Weekly Photo Challenge about my experience doing stand-up paddle boarding but I haven’t blogged about it yet. Now that I’m done my detox and back to my regular “schedule” of blogging again, the next post in my line-up (still very backlogged) is about the time when Sarah and I went stand-up paddle boarding on August 31.

Salmon Watching in Port Hope, Ontario. September, 2014
I love new experiences and today was definitely a new experience. A group of us went salmon watching in Port Hope in Ontario. It’s about an hour drive east from Markham and I’m glad that we headed out the door early in the morning. It was pouring rain when we left on our mini road trip and a few of us were concerned that there would be thunderstorms and we wouldn’t be able to safely get out to watch the salmon run.

Detox-worthy?
Uh oh, what happened to my daily updates of my September detox?!? Here it is! 😀 As I’ve mentioned before, this second time of doing a detox has been more lax and carefree than the first time when I did it in March. Continue reading
Stand-up Paddle Boarding, August 2014
Recently, I’ve had a taste of endurance when I went on a stand-up paddle boarding session at Sunnyside Park at Lake Ontario this summer. If you don’t have endurance, it will be hard to go on that paddle board and paddle it all the way out and back to shore. 🙂 Continue reading

I’ve been hearing of Eat Fresh Be Healthy for a while now. My friend Vivian posted a picture of the food she ate from here on facebook and commented on how the food was affordable and really great! So when Priscilla and I were thinking of a restaurant to go to recently, we arrived here on a humid summer day.
They have a prix fixe dinner here where they say “the only place you can have a prix fixe gourmet meal here any time of the year”. Continue reading

This is my second time doing the Nutriclean detox and I’m going to have more fun this time around than the first time. If you don’t know what a detox is, it’s a week where you eat clean in order to allow your body to cleanse out the gunk that’s in your system and to allow your liver and colon to rest up on digesting the usual heavy carbs and red meat. Continue reading
Day 1 of detox
Hi everybody! I’m participating in a 7-day detox again with Nutriclean. This means that for the next 7 days, I’ll be eating clean — no processed food, red meat, excessive sugar, oil, salt, alcohol, and carbs. In the last detox that I did with friends (it was my first detox), I did the intense version where absolutely no meat was allowed. Continue reading

Betty and I had never been to a Yuk Yuk’s stand up comedy show before so when I saw the deal come on at Groupon, we decided to try it out (buy two for the price of one deal AND I got paid to buy it!). Our Groupon was going to expire at the first of September, so we finally managed to find a time where our busy schedules freed us up to watch a show. Continue reading
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge — I did it.
I know, I know, there’s been a ton of controversy surrounding this particular charity phenomenon that’s been going viral around the globe. Here are my thoughts around this activity:
First of all, this is for charity. Anything that people do for charity, other than just standing on the street to canvas for donations, will be something out of the ordinary (even that can be called extraordinary). Continue reading
