Cute food

Rawrs! Had a really great day wandering around Eastern Downtown today. One of the highlights was frolicking through T&T Asian Supermarket. YESH. I swear Asians have a natural propensity to cuteness. CHECK out these panda cakes. Omnomnoms. I don't even think I would have the heart to eat these little beauties! There are also Piggie buns? and other food with cute animals on them.. but these are by FAR the best. Also, I bought a lot of books as gifts today!

Insight

So I was just reading through some stuff and reflecting and came upon this little blurb.

"Sometimes I doubt my own intentions. Sometimes I doubt why I am where I am. Where am I? Where am I headed? Do I want to be there? Go back to the things that make you happiest and stick to them. Don't let go and don't regret enjoyment. Try new things."

I feel like this can be extended/elaborated on.

"Try new things." Don't be afraid to see if they make you happy. If they don't make you happy and don't add value, then it's essentially a wasted investment and you could be getting better returns elsewhere. (Yes, I just business schooled that sentence UP!) However, if they do ADD VALUE to your life then make them happen. Over and over again. Keep creating your own happiness and don't let anything stand in the way of that. YOU are in control.

Dogs chasing dogs!

Sooo today I was studying for ma Marketing final at my neighbourhood park when this supercute dog runs up to me and drops his rubber orange ball at my feet. His owner is apologizing for the distraction, but it's all good! I throw the ball back in the owner's direction (kinda weakly.. :P) and get back to my marketing pricing strategies.

Anywayssss. Backstory aside, about 5 minutes later, I look up to see that same doggy chasing another smaller, fluffier dog around! It's nipping at the fluffy dog's tail, playfighting etc. Best of all, the dog that was being chased kept playing dead perhaps in an attempt to fend off further tail nipping? :) Regardless, it was superduper cutee! And I was definitely very distracted and unproductive.
There goes my studying! At least I got some adorableness-appreciation out of it....

Crunchy apples

Omnomnomlicious. So satisfying creating crunching noises!

Also, check out that teensy bit of alliteration right thurr. ^

The click of heels on the floor

Click Clack, Click Clack
I HEAR SOMEONE COMING! Someone with heels on... Are they pretty pumps, saucy stilettos (yes I just said saucy...),  beautiful boots or even... MEN'S SHOES?! (wait WHAT)
It doesn't matter.
A clicky heel is a clicky heel is a clicky heel.

Playlists that read your mind

I swear, it is alien-strange how these playlists are READING MY MIND :O
Also, sing-a-longs and stats are surprisingly fun :) @Angus

Great Quotes II

Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul.

Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love doesn’t happen by chance, at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows slowly, sinking roots first before branching and blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.
You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.

You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.

Flashbacks / acting like a kid again

Today, I attempted to study on the kitchen table, since with STATS (GRRRR) I have an absolute shitstorm of notes that I need to sort through AKA need MOAR SPACE.
In my super tired/hadnt even really started studying/agony I decided to lie down across 2 chairs.
This was my typical lazy/mischievous Emily technique when I was little. I would be at the kitchen table refusing to eat my vegetables or w.e. and just lie across more chairs and stare at the bottom of our kitchen table.
It's actually very interesting. It has different areas where it has been painted/finished and various parts that are kind of "lazy" looking (as in they didnt bother to polish it up). There's also something scrawled across the length of it, but the legs are in the way, so I cant really read it. :(
I guess what struck me the most, was that familiar (awkward?) position. It made me feel like I was 7 again- running my hands along the bottom of the table and feeling the different textures and edges. I wish I could have stayed under there forever. Hide from it all.
Side note: It made me smile while I was under there, but I guess this is kind of a bummer-post with a weird downer tone to it.

KEEP ON TREKKING!

Rainbows in bubbles!

The beauty in the tiniest things! Rainbow colours in bubbles.
Enough said! (Tired from studying.)

The "summering" of meals

At Easter dinner on Saturday everything was a lot lighter and "fresher" than a typical winter meal. The shrimp were flavoured with lemon zest and cilantro, the appetizers were fluffy, light spinach bites, and dessert was a light lemon meringue ice square. It was a nice reminder that SPRING IS HERE and it's starting to show through our meal choices.

And today for dinner, I had a delicious summery meal of rotisserie chicken and potato salad (with fresh apple and cheddar squares). The perfect easy, last minute picnic meal!

Also, found strawberries in the fridge. SCORE!

:)

AND THIS

bahahaha! giggling*

I guess "THIS" "AND THIS" are actually both referring to FUNNY GIFS.

:)

Do you think you can smell the freshness of the air?

THIS

I know. I don't know why, but this made me laugh SO HARD.

:)

PS: It's sunny today. Even if you can't be outside, open a window and breathe in the fresh air!

Strawberry bus stop!

So i am on granville street and i see a huge strawberry!
Turns out it's an ad for McD's smoothies since the weather's warming up. Looks delish!

Forgetting you have to be somewhere/ do something and accidentally doing it anyways

So yesterday, I had just got home from school at about 10:45-10:50ish and turned on my laptop when I remembered I was supposed to Skype my marketing group at 11pm! Perfect timing for me to grab some food and munch while talking to them.

:)

Perfect scrambled eggs

Nomnomnoms! I think i'm having late night food cravings... the last post was also about food!
Delicious, fluffy, seasoned, eggs that go great with sausages and bread and such ARE AMAZING. Sometimes I accidentally-on-purpose spill some of my ketchup or other condiments on them just to try out new flavours ;)  Shhh... it's a secret! (Most recently it was sesame oil.)

:)

Ooey Gooey Cheese!

Y'know when you grab a slice of pizza and that lovely, delicious cheese stretches out like an elastic band annnnd you just keep pulling until it finally releases? Yea, that stuff. Even more delish just because it has entertained you first

:)
