On the hunt for some gum!

Ooooo I saw this ad for Extra Dessert Delights gum in the Instyle December 2010 issue last night

Where have I been?!  I'd love to get my hands on this!!! 

OMG I'm one of the few people I know that love mint chocolate chip

Ohhh I'll be checking all those racks of gum sold near the cashiers until I find it LOL

Have you tried this gum or seen it in stores?

String Games & String Figures

I was just thinking the other day about these string figures/games I use to play when I was young - the most common series called cat's cradle.Image source here I wonder if they're still popular now with young kids? ;)Did you use to play these string games? Do you even know what I'm talking about LOL? Aside: I'm currently on vacation. This was a scheduled post I made prior to my trip. I'll get

How to: Basic Cable TV with no monthly fees

Okay, this product did not work for me. But it worked for my parent's tenants and also for my older sister - and it was through them that I tried this TV antenna in the first place. It was a surprise to my older sister & myself that you can buy this $15 Phillips TV antenna from Walmart to get basic channels that you would usually have to pay a monthly fee for through your TV provider It's easy

DIY Mugshot

I really hope I got a bit of a chuckle out of you rather than any worries from my last post.... I would not have posted my last post if I thought it would worry anyone. Plus, I don't think anyone would worry about me LOLI'm glad to see I made some of you laugh :) So here's a DIY mugshot post! The website I used for this is FantasyFelon. It's free, just click "Browse" on the left of the website to

Beautiful sunrise & I'm on green team

There was a beautiful cast of sunrise on the clouds this morning when I looked out on my balcony.....And I was munching some green grapes this morning. When it comes to grapes and apples, I only like the green grape variety and Granny Smith. My Dad and older sister are opposite and favour red grapes and Red Delicious apples.Like Mommie, Bobo is on the green team ;)(above): Bobo with lettuce this

Hanging out at Evgueni's studio

I took a 15-20 minute stroll to Evgueni's place yesterday evening. I really love the city lights at night. And for a big city, Toronto is so nice and quiet on a weekday evening in the Yorkville area (downtown Toronto's high end boutiques/condo living). Especially in windy/chilly weather like last night.Since there were very few people around last evening, I took a few pictures. (above): Bloor

I have the best friends :)

I feel so blessed with the people in my life. I have wonderful friends :)And they're super super hilarious sometimes! Here's just a few examples from what happened in the past couple of days.....Text messages between Evgueni and I. The bubbles in white are written by him....I wrote the reply in green.He always reminds me that I had introduced beer into his life. And as a result of beer & lots of

Canada's Tallest Residential Building

I was sitting out on my balcony last week and thought of sharing some random pictures. Canada's Tallest Residential Building is being built right now and you can see if from my balcony. It's essentially in my "backyard" so to speak - it's at the corner of Yonge and Gerrard streets. The condo will be over 75 stories high (243 metres). And all 931 suites sold out within days. Okay, I

Comment on "Pop princess 'sorry' for not disclosing HIV+ status

You know when "sorry" comes too fucking late? That's what I thought when I read this article from the Toronto Star this morning.I can't figure out if blogger has a copy/paste function...so I just took three pictures of my computer screen regarding the article and posted it here for you to read. I seriously don't know why the lines show up in the picture like this since my computer screen is

Canada Olympic Park Bobsleigh + Canada's Wonderland Roller Coasters

I have to say, this post turned out longer that I anticipated! Just letting you know...LOLThere's been a couple of things pre-occupying my mind the past few days. One of which is roller coaster related. I'll get back to that. I was thinking about my past roller coaster experiences and I came across these old pictures back in December 2007. On December 15th, 2007 I was in Calgary, Alberta (

Weekend at Mom and Dad's

Here's a short re-cap of this past weekend....I got these gift certificates in the mail on Friday. Dale is so sweet to send me these. He knows I like to watch movies, and that I love the super warm hoodies from Roots...and that yes, I think Swiss Chalet ribs are the best! I know I mentioned the rib thing a few times already ;) I got this Heinz tee when I was in Grove City over Easter weekend.

Rethink Alberta?!

Hmmm....I'm not really sure what to say after I just saw this video in the article "Oil sands ads urge tourists to avoid Alberta" on GlobeinvestorGOLD.com This message really hit home in a sad way :(I love the people in Calgary - I think it's a beautiful city.My younger sister and her boyfriend live in Edmonton (see map below).And I absolutely love the breath taking mountains in Alberta - I had a

Wake me up

In the past couple of months I've reverted back to my morning coffee routine. The only coffee I drink is my Nescafe rich hazelnut instant coffee. The instructions say to put one teaspoon / one cup of water. But I double up with two teaspoons and a ton of coffee-mate. My older sister teased me about my love for instant coffee... saying it was very British or something to that effect. Nothing

I love vintage packaging

My Mom came over to pick me up at my condo Saturday and one of my light bulbs was out. She found a few old light bulbs and handed them over to me.So funny! Look how old the packaging is heheMy parents have a bad habit of stocking up on items and in this case, re-discovering them eons later ;) Do you stock up on things too?
