Lulu does Italian day, gets drunk & eats a lot of Korean BBQ

So it's official. I have finally become part of the Commercial Drive neighbourhood (yo, what's up fam?!) because I've attended and hung out on a patio overlooking a community street festival—last weekend was the super bustling Italian Day on The Drive. This was a pretty jam-packed weekend, considering I got to spend the weekend: getting drunk…

7 Tips to Cohabiting: an amateur’s guide pt.1

So, as I've shared with you in my last couple posts, I have now successfully cohabited with my partner for one full month. It may not seem like a lot (it kinda isn't—I know), but I just wanted to make a just-for-fun blog about my experience of cohabiting thus far. Growing up being kind of…

Home is Wherever You Are, & Happy Earth Day to All

So, April has been kind of a big month for the books... I've been so busy, but I can finally say that I am happy to share with you readers, that I live with my best friend. He is an honest man, he works hard for what he wants and stands up for people and…

New blog—new life—who dis?

Hi friends! I've decided to re-introduce myself, and my blog, with a random fun questionnaire. So here goes. Happy reading! Question 1: How sneaky were you when you were younger? Well, I used to wait until my parents were napping, and then sneak into their room to steal from their jar of candies on the dresser.…

My mind is like a dog in an off-leash park

So this is where I tell you how my mind is like a dog at an off-leash park—zipping one direction and then REALLYQUICKLY zipping to another direction. This analogy came up to me on my walk to work this morning. I passed a park where a pupper was having a grand time, chasing after a…

pajama days and random ramble.

If I could live my life in pajamas.... I would. Well, maybe some days I'd like to get a bit dressy, and I guess they aren't the best for yoga, or dance, or hiking... so maybe not live my whole life in it. But it would be pretty sweet to have more pajama days nonetheless.…

study break & ABCs (and then some).

It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are you busy about? —unknown. Study break? Study break. Hey, I'm allowed. I went to class this morning, and actually did review some notes this evening, so let me to relax for the rest of the night. So far, the three classes…

+here’s to new adventures! [photos galore]

Well, I'll save you the trouble, and just welcome myself back... Welcome back, me! And with some sheepish looks and apologetic hand gestures, I am here to announce that I'm back for the new year! The semester ended with a rough tumble, and let's just dust ourselves off and leave last semester with LAST YEAR, and aside…

be the person your cat(s) think you are.

Some days, I lie in bed in the early mornings and just stare at the ceiling. Unmoving. Unmotivated. But without fail, each morning since I've brought my two fluffies home have been full of meows and purrs. Still, some days, I find myself lying there. Deep sigh. Grunt. Groan. But the thing is, your cat(s) don't care if…

Rest, recharge, reset & go.

Every experience, no matter how bad it seems, holds within it a blessing of some kind. The goal is to find it. —Buddha It seems, for the past while, I had failed myself. I had been feeding the negative wolf within, and neglecting the positive fluffy. But as they say, it is never too late…
