Out & About #52 | Dragon Legend

11/29/2014

This past Saturday, we attended an early Christmas get-together at a buffet restaurant by the name of Dragon Legend.

A significant portion of the photos taken can be found HERE, though as my camera decided to malfunction quite early into the evening, the rest of the photos had to be captured using alternate methods.

The exterior had a rather interesting design, with blue, green, and red lights outlining the odd pentagon-like shapes surrounding the building. Utilizing the same colour scheme, lighting components forming abstract figures were found in the grassy area of the parking lot.

Out & About #51 | Things I Consume (Pt. 3) + Even More Bubble Republic (?!)

11/28/2014

It doesn't quite occur to majority of students that it's official exam period until they realize than only three more days of school remain. Hibernation period begins....now.

Well not right now. But soon.

Anyways, here's a short collection of the things that have enlightened my visual and gustatory senses this week:

1) ittybittys' Hallmark Sulley plushie (acquired on Black Friday!)
2) Hazelnut Frappucino w/ a shot of Caramel Brûlée
3) Purdy's Assorted Chocolates

Out & About #50 | Things I Consume (Pt. 2) + More Bubble Republic (?!?!)

11/21/2014

It's been a long week.

No, it's been a stupendously long two months.
Before I can even start to ponder how I'll organize my time for exam prep, I first have to digest the fact that the next two upcoming weeks will consist of nothing else but final project and assignment due dates.

But coming back to these images, here are the things I spotted/ingested this past week:

1), 2) Raindrops behind the science building
3) Homemade Coconut Slush (in a Starbucks cup)
4), 5) Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino w/ Caramel Brulee topping
6) Peppermint-flavoured Lindor chocolate?!
7) Black Tea w/ tapioca and Caramel Pudding Milk Tea from Bubble Republic
8) Taiwanese Chive Dumpings
9), 10) Sweetened Condensed Milk Thick Toast
11) Overhead shot of 8), 9)/10)
12) Homemade Mango White Tea w/ green apple, coconut, and strawberry jelly (in a Starbucks cup)

Out & About #48 | FanFare Geek Fest II + Bubble Republic

11/8/2014

(I am still in the midst of editing cosplay photos, but they will be available HERE once I've finished!)

The first FanFare Geek Fest by ConBravo! took place in Hamilton earlier this year. This time around, the convention was held at International Plaza, one of the panel buildings for Anime North.

The event was said to begin at 10 AM, though even upon arriving a little after noon, there weren't many cosplayers in the building. I headed up to registration and then took a quick look around the venue.

As I was carrying quite a bit more equipment than I was used to, it became slightly inconvenient to take photos. Thus, I only ended up using my phone to capture a couple of shots inside the terribly-lit vendors alley.

Lighting outside of the vendors alley wasn't much better. The ceilings were rather high, and the incandescent chandeliers cast a horrid yellow-green tint on everyone beneath them.
Shooting outside wasn't exactly an option either; there had been on-and-off periods of rain since early morning and it was chilly enough that my fingers would go numb in a matter of minutes.

Needless to say, I wasn't able to capture as many shots as I would've liked. In comparison to outdoor events held in the summer, I had taken a substantially larger amount of photos, though few were satisfactory enough by my standards.

Following the event, I headed to Bubble Republic for dinner with a friend that had been kind enough (and patient enough) to accompany me as my assistant for the day, even shielding me from the rain while outside.
