My very first Relay for Life event, Esther Shiner Stadium. June 2009
The sample photos chosen for this week’s photo challenge for “humanity” rub me the wrong way. The writer selected photos of people in Ethiopia and quoted, “I met this woman in southern Ethiopia at Project Mercy, a not-for-profit relief and development agency working to alleviate human suffering and poverty in the country. Her pride at her handiwork was evident.” Continue reading
Darryl’s Wood Fired Grill located at 3300 High Point Rd in Greensboro, NC
On the second last day before we left Greensboro, we all decided to go out for a lovely dinner at Darryl’s Wood Fired Grill. We were a big group of more than 20 and had to wait a little bit of time before the host called us. Since we were such a big group, we ended up splitting up into three tables but they made sure to put us in the same area so it was like we were still eating together which was nice.

Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill is really disappointing. I would suggest going to the other restaurants like Darryl’s which is across the street. When we arrived, we were a huge group of 18 and were told that we wouldn’t be able to get a table for another 45 minutes to an hour. We decided against waiting for that long for a table so some of us decided to get take-out instead since getting take-out means getting the food faster. Continue reading
The road trip that changed lives — August 6-11, 2014
At the beginning of August, hundreds of young, ambitious, hardworking, kind-hearted, and energetic individuals boarded eight buses to go on a 14-hour road trip to a little-known city in North Carolina — Greensboro. This was my second convention to learn more about new technologies and how to take control of my own economy but the very first road trip where I’ve travelled with 50 other friends on a tour bus together. Continue reading

Tracy and I met up at Lohas Cafe to chat and catch up recently. I had originally wanted to visit Lambie Bubble Tea since I really liked the environment and food there, but to my surprise, we discovered that it was closed down. What! That place was such a nice place for food and casual chats. Luckily, since First Markham Place has shops and restaurants around every corner, we decided to go into Lohas Cafe instead.

Aragvi located at 2006 Highway 7 in Vaughan
I had the pleasure of being invited to dine at Aragvi Restaurant again for the opening of their brand new location in Vaughan. Remember when I first stepped into Aragvi in my first blog post review of them and commented that they serve delicious food but reside in an area that doesn’t look that nice? Well, this new location is big and cozy and definitely an improvement from their old location. Continue reading
Treetop trekking adventure! July, 2014
The example picture for this week’s photo challenge of Adventure! shows two people partaking in stand up paddling. I actually did that this past weekend too! However, I don’t want to show that picture although it was a heck of an adventure to stand up and paddle on a board. Instead, I’m going to show another picture of an adventure. This summer, I got to go treetop trekking for the very first time! Continue reading

After our very first run-through of our TLS party, a couple of us gathered at Kenny’s Noodle for dinner. I’ve been to Kenny’s Noodle in the past on multiple occasions and never really loved their food since it was mediocre Chinese food and lacked a little something in their food that made a returning trip really worth it. Continue reading
Our own team’s TLS Party
My team and I hosted our very first TLS health and wellness event a few weeks ago. TLS is a transition lifestyle weight management program which helps you to maintain a healthy body weight whether you need to gain or lose weight. Not a lot of people know about this successful weight management program so our wellness party aimed to educated our friends and family members about this wonderful program. Continue reading

This is another restaurant that I’ve been recommended to by friends solely due to social media. Social media is SO powerful nowadays — all you do is recommend things to friends online on Facebook or instagram and bam!, they want to know more and will actually go out to buy or try something based on what you posted. Imagine if we could get paid for doing this free “advertising”. Wouldn’t that be cool? Continue reading
