Out & About #237 | Collective May Visuals

5/31/2016

 
Sudden realization: These collections of monthly visuals have gradually morphed into assuming the same format as monthly recaps, but in a less intrusive manner compared to the "Monthly Favourites" videos of YouTube beauty gurus. (And by "intrusive" I mean "personal".)

Despite the conclusion of my Toronto term, I had no intention to go about a portion of my summer unproductively. This later led me into the neighbouring city of Oakville, where I have likely spent an equal amount of time being trapped amidst rush hour and attending to the academic troubles of struggling students.
(It's true, by the way, that Oakville's public transit system is horrendous beyond belief. Though despite the fact that a significant chunk of the city's inhabitants utilize automobiles as their main mode of transportation, very few are actually capable of maneuvering through local roads while maintaining a continuous speed, let alone make a simple left turn when traffic in the opposite direction stop to render their lives easier...)

Moving forwards shall be an expected increase in the number of Oakville-related driving challenges as well as the shots captured in the second half of May! (Partial visuals can be found here.)
1. Summer Drink Days at McDonald's means $1 drink deals all the time; my drink of choice: Iced Coffee and, occasionally, Frozen Lemonade/Iced Tea

2. Lazy Breakfast consisting of Pizelle cookies and Homemade "Nice Cream" with frozen bananas and matcha

3. Dinner consisting of Baked Panko Fish Bites w/ Parsley-Wasabi dipping sauce. a thin, herb-infused omelette, and avocado and apple slices

4. An impromptu meetup took place at Green Grotto as a result of my sudden lack of Wi-Fi at home.

5. Relaxing strolls in the neighbourhood
6. Lemon Yogurt Drink w/ Coconut Jelly from Chatime
7. My all-time fave from CoCo, Three Guys Milk Tea (aka milk tea w/ grass jelly, tapioca, and pudding) feat. my driving buddy

8. Spotted graduation plushies while card-shopping at Hallmark, prompting myself to wonder about my own graduation date
9. Hot Matcha + partially demolished Coffee Cheesecake from Love Me Sweet

10. Kevin's Taiyaki now offers Ice Cream Bungeoppang?!
While my last experience was less than exemplary, this new summer item does pique my interest. (Hmm, green tea taiyaki...)

11. This summer marks my first attempt at biking, and hopefully the year that I obtain the much-needed skill to transport myself by other means than busing and/or driving.
Picture
12. Halo Halo from the most authentic place I'm aware of: Quiapo! Quiapo!
I'm less than thrilled about their latest price increase, however.

13. Sunset spotted while waiting at the McD's Drive-Thru lane.

14. Breakfast(s) consisting of: Lattes, Coconut Bread from Caldense Bakery, Coffee Cheesecake (again), and Iced Coffee.

And surprisingly, that's all I have to share at this point in time.

I would also like to take this chance to apologize for the recent lack of activity on this space. Not only has my ancient laptop finally succumbed to the powers of Nature herself, but it also snatched a solid portion of photos with it before its departure. Though now fixed, several issues still remain unsolved, and shall require some time to regain full functionality. In the meantime, a very kind friend has lent me a laptop for daily Internet usage and even went as far to assist in troubleshooting when none of my required editing software programs were installing properly.

In the meantime, please bear with me as I struggle to work through my intense amount of backlog and get up and running once again! See you next month!
