[The Intense Summer] VANCOUVER DAY 1

6/29/2014

 
I have returned to Vancouver!!! 
(To read up on last year's trip(s), click here =))

Instead of taking an early morning flight this time, we opted for one that took place in the evening, hence why I'm typing this at 4:36 AM EST...Yikes.

But anyways, the rundown of the day went something like this:
- Wake up from a dream involving Jackson and Mark from GOT7 (> ω < !!!)
- Finish packing the remaining items for the trip
- Head to the airport a bit earlier to walk around and have dinner at Mill St. Brewery

Mill St. was essentially a kid-friendly pub-style restaurant serving up freshly toasted sandwiches, chicken wings, nachos, and, of course, beer to go along with the various television monitors around the interior of the restaurant showing the Columbia vs. Uruguay match.
< Shown below: Classic Wings, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Chicken Club >
After eating, we walked around a few of the shops before heading to the gate for boarding. Some of the new ones included MAC Cosmetics, Victoria's Secret, and Jo Malone fragrances.

Out & About #30 | UCanShops + More Aka Teppan?!

6/21/2014

 
Considering that I will be out of the province/country for a good month as of next week, today will probably be my last trip to Markham for a while.

After physio I headed over to First Markham Place to pick up a few things and stopped by UCanShops to see if they had a foot peeling mask I could try out before my walking-intensive vacation.


They were actually having a MASSIVE blowout sale, but as I am saving as much as I possibly can for my upcoming vacation, I only picked up what I needed.

Out & About #29 | Daily Food Snaps

6/19/2014

 
Having finally finished summer school last night (WOOT WOOT!), I've embarked on the journey to clean out photos off my phone from the past two weeks.
And as you can probably guess, food shots make up the bulk of these pictures.

...Ok no never mind. They're all food photos. (What'd you know?)

Out & About #28 | Munching in Markham (Pt. 2)

6/10/2014

 
Whoa! Has it already been a full month since my last post?!

Yeah so summer school is finally coming to an end. Yes, finally. FINALLY.


F I N A L L Y !!!


Well, ok, these thirteen classes were nowhere close to the hell that I had to go through last summer. Heck, the prof is even super sweet. And she actually knows how to teach. Like wow, never thought I'd see that in a summer school classroom.

But that aside, it can be observed that I have named this entry #28 as opposed to #27, which should supposedly follow #26.
No, I haven't made a mistake. And yes, I do plan on drafting a #27 once summer school ends and I feel less inclined to just crouch in front of my laptop and make GOT7 gifs.

Out & About #27 shall thoroughly discuss first-timer Anime North experiences; while I am reluctant to let the weekend itself become a thing of the past (and thus have been constantly postponing the entry, I have uploaded photos to allow those that did not attend to get a snippet of how the event was carried about through my eyes.  As always, event photos (in addition to food shots) can be found here.


Moving on though, this past weekend I was abruptly invited to a karaoke session in Markham by my friend and his high school buddies. As I was too absorbed in filming others, I didn't actually get a chance to snap a photo of the karaoke place itself - it was called Ten23. Not only did it have an amazing selection of songs from different regions (along with their official M/Vs), the happy hour was a complete steal at only $8.99 (+ tax) for 4 hours and two free drinks.

Afterwards, we went to Korean Grill House at Commerce Gate for dinner.
As Sweet Note happened to be in that same general area, I really couldn't help but stop by to check out the delectable little desserts, puddings, and pastries that they had on display before I left.
