tdot with the girls

Hey guys, so I was out of town for three days with my two friends, sister and younger cousin. We went to live in my apartment  for a few days, which is located in Scarborough. We spent most, or actually the whole time shopping LOL I'll do a little re-cap of everything that we did during our stay!

Apartment:
I already told you guys it is in Scarborough, it is a pretty nice condo that includes a small swimming pool and gym that can be used for those who live in the building. I really want to live in there one day, right not we're renting it out to collage student.

 This is the living room, I love how one wall is made up of all glass! Also the balcony is on the left side, very small
 This is the window view of outside. Also what I fell asleep to every night. I swear I can just sit in the dark every night and watch the city, I love it! Can't see the CN Tower though ):
 


Day One
On the first day we headed out town around 3 p.m. since my dad had to work earlier. When we arrived at Scarborough, we drop off all the luggage and went to Pacific Mall to shopp abit. Our main concern was helping one of my friend on choosing a hair dye and actually buying it. We ended up buying Palty hair dye, since I've used it in the past. I didn't end up buying anything, just some chips and other food to snack on during the night. After shopping, we went to visit my aunt who lived near by and went out to eat dinner at a Chinese restaurant. We ended up dying my friends hair first, which turned out right! Then we wondered around the lobby area and the two girls went to the gym while my cousin and I went for a swim.


 
Day Two
After sleeping at 4:30 a.m. in the morning and waking up at 8 a.m. to get ready, i was surprisingly not tired LOL We decided to get ready at 8:30 and take the subway whenever we're ready to head downtown. It took us around 45mins to get downtown, we were nervous at first since it was our first time taking the subway alone, but thankfully my older cousin gave us directions before we left. We stopped at Dundas station and went to Eaton Center. Spent most of our day shopping in the mall and outside of it. Although we got bored of the mall after being there all day, we started people watching, aha. We had to wait until my older cousin was off work to take us out for dinner, we ended up going to a sushi restaurant that's right in front of Much Music (Queen st.) don't remember the name of the restaurant... but the food was delicious and cheap too!








My bento box from the Japanese restaurant. Shrimp tempura, California roll, and teriyaki chicken all for only $10-ish! *O*

Day Three
For the last day we didn't have much time to shop around, so we went to the Scarborough town center to eat breakfast and shop abit, then headed out to Pacific mall again. By this day we were all tired since everyone slept late, I slept at 4:30 a.m. for the two days because I was texting a friend... -___-


 Next post will be about what I bought during the trip! I didn't end up getting much, but that's alright!

New clothes

The second day before the start of winter break, i asked my mom to bring me to Value Village to pick up an ugly sweater to wear for the last schools day's "ugly sweater day". It was just an excuse for me to go to the thrift store, since my mom does not approve of me shopping there. Aha! Something actually caught my eye, a dark-ish red cardigan which was only $7 CAD. There were also amazing blazers, but I don't wear blazers often so I decided not to buy one.





A few days ago my mom was cleaning out her closet and putting some of her clothes in the storage, grandma spotted a sweater that she thought I might like, since I'm still somewhat into the granny style XD Grandma showed it to me and I thought it was pretty cute, although I don't know what to wear it with. This sweater is 18 years old, mom bought it when she just came to Canada, it's older than me!

Merry Christmas! :D

Hey guys! Merry Christmas to you all! :) I'm kinda bored right now, so I might aswell tell you about my day. This morning my friend Patrick came over and gave me a present (chocolate, and more candy), we walked over to our friend Andrea's house to give her her present, than us three walked to Christine's. After that Andrea and I hung out at Patrick's house, and since it was my first time over, he gave me a tour around his house aha! We hung out for awhile doing random stuff and we came up with a brilliant idea of doing 'chubby bunny'. Which is basically stuffing yourself with marshmallows and seeing how can stuff the most in their mouth. I ended up winning with my chubby cheeks with five huge marshmallows in my mouth lol. I come home and there are family members over and they're all eating hot pot. Which brings me to where I am now, hiding in my room and creating a list of items I want from Hong Kong since my mom is going back soon. How are you spending your Christmas?
I have so many plans for this coming week: 
- Sunday = Boxing day shopping with Tony and Patrick (shopping with boys = just there to chill, i doubt there will be any good sales anyways)
- Mon-Wed = my friends Christine, Andrea and I, along with my sister and cousin are heading out to Toronto. We plan on shopping all three days! Only problem is where? (besides the eaton center of course)
- Thursday =
tobogganing with friends
- Friday = 'Beauty night/party' with my family/cousins 

Which means the second week of break is dedicated to homework and whatever else needs to be done -.- OH! Also I'd like to tell you guys about what I got for Christmas!!
Lots of money, $200 mastercard giftcard (which means I can shop online!), chocolate/candy, Body shop; mango body gel, and a notebook. I think I wrote too much.... -.-
Here, look at my new facebook profile picture XD (p.s. i'd be surprised if anyone reads all of this...)

Merry Christmas Eve!

Hey guys! This is the first day of my winter break ( so late, i know) and it's also Christmas eve! :) Have you done anything exciting today? I did nothing special all day, I feel like the Grinch T^T Sadly there's no Christmas tree up either because school ended so late and mom said she doesn't want to put it up. My sister and I didn't have time to put it up while there was still school, and it would be pointless to put it up for like two days than take it down again. I did nothing today, I was bored most of the time. I just finished painting a gift for someone in the morning, and took pictures for fun XD Oh my gosh! I also applied to university! I'm so nervous to be accepted! I applied to University of Toronto St.George + Scarborough and Western. I'm keepin' it to the Ontario region :) 
On Wednesday I stayed up until 3a.m. to make gifts for a few people, 11 to be exact :P Each of them are unique and made with love <3 also because I'm too cheap to spend too much money ahaha! Atleast it's better than receiving nothing from me hehe. They're Christmas tree ornaments 


Hehe, Pokeball ornaments! Gosh, i'm such a nerd! The first one is an original Pokeball and the black one is an ultra ball for those non-nerdy people :P
I gave the red one for my friend David, I was originally going to make just him one since i knew he was making me a Pokemon card and I wanted to give him something in return, but I ended up making more lol
I gave the Ultra ball to my friend Michael, he too is also a poke nerd like me ahaha! <3

This one is for Andrea, I was originally going to draw Rilakkuma and a sunflower (her favorite flower, mine too!) but I didn't have the correct paints at home to draw those ): So instead I drew her a cloud (my trademark lol) and badtz-kuma, a Sanrio character! <3

Hehe, this one was for my cute awesome cousin! I know Sharly liked Nightmare before Christmas for awhile, so it was really easy to decide on what to draw for her. Jack looks somewhat scary, i tried fixing the smile and added the blush marks to make him look cuter lol


I drew Minnie Mouse for my friend Christine! :) She was Minnie mouse for Halloween and I just got the idea off of my Forever21 Minnie muse cardigan Aha! I really like it though!

This one is for Natty! I'm not too close with her, probably because I've only known her for half a year :P But I had to make her one! :) I was going to draw her Rilakkuma aswell but again, not the right paint! 


Hello Kitty for Dianne! :) The girl who always invites me to her parties! I didn't know what to draw her either, it was either a Sanrio character or an animal LOL




This one is for my best friend, Courtney. I think it's one of my favorites! It took the longest too because the paint took forever to dry! I pretty much just doodled on it lol


 Hehe, I thought this one was pretty cute too! This one was the last one I did, which I finished this morning. Aha, I drew a panda because he has a really cute panda sticker on his iphone and he showed me his cute penguin plushie XD



I wrapped them all nicely too. Hehe, so which one is your favorite? :)
Sorry for the photo spam!
