Life is Slowing Down
Do you ever have so much going on for what seems to be all at the same time, and then suddenly, a dry spell? Yeah, that's my life right now.
It seemed like during the last couple of weeks, I was out and about, constantly getting stuff done and now these days, I'm home alone, wasting away my days in bed. I mostly tell myself that I simply am catching up on missed TV shows and sleep. Anyway, I just need to do more exciting things so I have decent content to blog about haha. Plus I really need to stop waking up at 3pm when the day is already half over...
So what's up? What have I been doing?
I went downtown to visit Mike at the salon like I seem to do every Monday. I had taken out a book from the library the day before so I wanted to do some reading at the salon while keeping him company. He's usually the only one working in the salon on Mondays so I like to go down and chill. We walked over to his place after work because and stumbled upon a cool looking shop that sold modernly designed items. I wanted to buy this paper cutter bird thing that looked so cool but so unnecessary for me to have, so I didn't. Bought Mike bought a tie which was pretty cool. We got Krispy Kreme donuts on the way and he made tonkatsu for dinner. Both were quite delicious. Then we got Starbucks on the way to the subway before I went back home. Spending time with Mike makes me appreciate the Leos in my life because they're so brotherly to me. It's really nice to have that kind of company around.
I started to read Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians because I heard it was a good book. I've never been a big reader but I seem to have a list of books
(stories) that I really want to indulge in. I don't know what about me it is but I just cannot bring myself to continue reading this book. I'm currently 54 pages in and I haven't touched it ever since. I'm sure it's a good book, but I just suck at reading. Why do I even bother?
A couple of days later, I went over to Suki's to chill and ended up staying over. I bought purple Manic Panic to tone out my hair so she helped me with that. We did it twice before we were satisfied with the ashy-ness. We also had a very bro-like dinner and downed some drinks.
Over the weekend, I went to hang with my cousin. She invited me to dinner with her co-op's since it was their last day in the office. We went to Tsuki Izakaya and ordered tons of food
(more pictures on my Instagram). I met a bunch of people and had a lot of fun making new friends :) Everyone was really nice and down to earth. It was rather fun trying to guess each other's signs in my head haha.
I ended up staying with her overnight downtown which was really fun. I've always wanted to live downtown and that really solidified my "dream".
In the morning, we made a quick breakfast, got ready, then met up with her friend for lunch at Salad King. It was really fun and relaxing to be able to wake up in downtown Toronto and walk to almost any destination. We walked our way there and it was a huge workout for me, but I enjoyed it. After lunch, we shopped around the Eaton Center to bum and waste some time.
We met up with our other cousin and his wife for dinner at Hush. I really liked spending time with my family as I haven't seen them in quite some time. They're all so lucky to be living downtown where there is so much more things to do and see than up here in Narnia.
After dinner, we decided to go back home and dye her hair, which us girls did. Now all three of us our hair coloured! Then we went back to the married couple's place and stayed the night there. It was super fun because they have a cat and a dog <3 We had Chinese dessert and sipped on some wine. Did I mention this was my 4th day in a row of drinking? Opps.
This little rascal kept opening my door and climbing into bed with me even though I'd pick him up and throw him out of the room. I soon gave up and he came and curled up beside me.
In the morning, my cousin Andrew made us some spicy udon. I, of course had a coffee and also a beer. Can you tell that I definitely make good adult responsible choices? We ventured off to costco shortly after and then I hopped on the subway and made my way home.
The other day, I went grocery shopping with mom and there happened to be animals inside. I was so surprised but delighted because OMFG ANIMALS ARE MY FAVOURITE. There was a pony!! But needless to say, I was soooo confused as to why there were animals. There didn't seem to be a supervisor around so I didn't know where these animals came from or who they belonged to, but a bunch of kids were petting the animals so I joined in. No shame.
I also went to Garage and bought some clothes and got my first pair of Doctor Martens! I'll do a separate haul post to show them<3
Anyway, that's what I've been up to these days. I've been applying to jobs everywhere and hopefully I hear from some of them soon! For now, here's more pictures.
