Okotte Ramen food

Okotte Ramen located at 9688 Leslie St in Richmond Hill

December 20, 2018:  This was actually my second time dining in at Okotte Ramen with the first time for lunch about a month ago.  Okotte Ramen is located on Lesile Street north of 16th Avenue in Richmond Hill and operates similarly to Deer Garden or Lucky Noodle (for about $10, you get a customizable noodle soup or rice in soup with two toppings and $2.75 snacks on the side).  Thus, even though their name is “Okotte Ramen”, they don’t only offer ramen at all.  They also serve rice dishes and Continue reading

Paintball Nation in Mississauga

Dec 16, 2018:

I took time out this weekend from my mountain of transcripts to indulge in a game of paintball. (Technically, I ended up finishing everything in time but if I hadn’t gone, I would have finished everything in a more comfortable time frame with less stress, but c’est la vie and these moments with friends are priceless and fleeting — it’s always worth the sacrifice.)

Nail One Spa in Markham

Dec. 14, 2018:  On the recommendation of my friend, I went to check out Nail One Spa for a manicure since I needed one ASAP.  I would have gone to the one I usually go to, but upon looking at the map of her new location, I wasn’t going to give up an hour of my day for the round-trip commute no matter how good her nail art was.  I had wanted to visit a new nail salon to try out anyway, so this worked out.   Continue reading

It begins!

Just when I thought this might be an easy December, I receive an e-mail this morning about an order of four days of a hearing back in 2017.  😀  I should have known it was too early to call it a moderately paced month.  XD  Continue reading
