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.)

HeyNoodles located at 1 Spadina Rd #12 in Richmond Hill
Dec. 15, 2018: Checked out this Chinese noodles restaurant that so many people have been posting about. This is actually the fourth location of this HeyNoodles restaurant (嘿小面) in the Greater Toronto Area (with two more opening soon) and I was eager to see what it was all about.
This new-ish location is located at 16th Avenue and Spadina Road in Continue reading
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
Papa Chang’s Take Out and Catering located at 431 Alden Rd, Unit 2 in Markham

Since then I’ve been wanting to swing by Papa Chang’s Take Out and Catering whenever I was in this area so that I could have a fixing of the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Continue reading
Luscious 5 Kitchen + Bar located at 7500 Woodbine Ave in Markham
December 4, 2018: I came back to eat here!! 😀 I initially visited this new restaurant called Luscious 5 Kitchen + Bar with Betty on October 17 for lunch. I remember noticing this restaurant when driving on Woodbine Avenue and that it had replaced the previous Maison du Japon restaurant.
I remember on that visit how new the restaurant was and that since Continue reading
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
Here’s what I learned about wedding planning so far (about 2 months after we got engaged):
– KISS: keep it simple, silly. Don’t stray from one idea or one brand to another when someone gives you a supposedly “better” idea. Stick to your guns about what you want and don’t be easily swayed by others (sometimes saving Continue reading
One-hour train ride from Pisa to Florence!
Saturday, September 9, 2018. Day 6:
Today we checked out of Hotel La Pace and had a breakfast at Cofer Bar before taking the train to Florence. We had a simple mozzarella and tomato panini but it was not so simple because it was delicious. The staff heated it up for us so that the panini bread was crispy and Continue reading
