Road trip... kind of...

Oops, I'm late again :P

All the pictures from today's post is actually from August 15th and the 16th,

but I was pre-occupied enjoying my last few weeks of my summer.

 I have been planning to finally get my G1 this summer but I still kept procrastinating, 

thinking that I'm not ready, though I probably am.

So hopefully I can manage to get it during my busy school year...

since I'm going to be going into my finally year -a.k.a. grade 12-

and I need to give all I got to be accepted to the universities I want to go to.

ANYWAYS, enough of me worrying about next year,

these are the pictures from Quebec when my family went to Our Lady of Cape Shrine

I hope you enjoy :)

Right before they started a presentation of the shrine's history

Photo of me  and my sister when we stopped by thousand islands on our way home

Long exposure photo from where I stayed

 

Hope you have a good long weekend for those in Canada :)

friends, memories, and love - YSP

Recently, I went to the University of Toronto for Youth Summer Program

I applied for a scholarship for the one week microbiology program.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much but back around in June, 

I got an email from the University of Toronto saying that I actually got the scholarship!

So that was how I got to go to Youth Summer Program at U of T,

In short form, YSP

 I got to meet so many amazing people including my lab instructors and some awesome friends

I was in Blue Team for my lab projects 

and I think my team had the best instructors and lab mates out of all of them

So these are some of the pictures containing the awesome memories made with these amazing people

  from the amazing week long program.

 

That's Sarah Z. on the left, me in the middle and Anthony on the right.

Our trip to the Eaton Centre on one of the nights and that is Simren beside me.

That's Sarah again and my roommate Celina on the right. Man, does she laugh a lot.

One of the very few normal pictures of all of us

The night we ditched the Casino Night and had a fun times in my room

On Wednesday, We went on a boat cruise for 4 hours and this was probably the best night even of the week.

One of Sarah's amazing faces

A desired break from school

Right after i posted my most recent blog post, 

I realized that I've uploaded all these pictures on to blogspot but haven't published them yet.

So these are some pictures of me and my friends at Canada's Wonderland

Our music students from our school participated in the Thrills&Trills music festival back in May

Where we played as an orchestra in the morning

and went to Wonderland for the afternoon.

It was a really nice break from school with all the crazy assignments and tests going on.

 

yes, I did go on the vortex with my DSLR camera

baby goose with its parents :)

After coming back with my school, I actually went back to Wonderland with my sister and stayed until closing

getting back and a little bit of yoga..

I ashamed to admit that I've been away from this blog for way too long.

Though there are a lot of excuses that I can list, 

(summer school, YSP, Doctor Who,work, etc...)

I'm going to try to post as much as I can for the rest of the summer

So I'll give you a little bit of sneak peak of Lole white yoga session i went to back in June.

P.S. Excuse the photo quality, These were taken with my compact camera

my friends who went to yoga with me :)

everyone settling in

pre-yoga hair braiding session

March Break: trip downtown

When march break came,

On the first day of the first weekend of the break, 

my friend Shadi and I went downtown to get a crewneck sweater China Town.

I've been wanting to make a custom glitter sweatshirt for quite a long time

and I just couldn't wait any longer to try this.

Ma infinity-moustache sweater ∞

This is the result of my sweatshirt-making-experiment

and I think it turned out pretty well 

other than the fact that my sweater shrunk to half its size when it came out from the wash :(

I might also do a tutorial on this later on if any of you are interested.

Out downtown trip started at China town

It looked like he was fairly new into the street performance thing.
He was squishing two volunteers face when i tried to get on that monocycle.

He struggled a little bit when he was getting the juggling started but he caught on after about 2 tries

My friend, Shadi, finally lost her Chipotle virginity!

Are my eyelashes long enough yet?

After a very long day of walking, we were both craving smoothies by the end of the day.
But we couldn't find booster juice in sight so we went around Eaton Centre looking for one
Until...
We found Teavanna and tried this sample, which was a mix of Blueberry Bliss and Pineapple Kona Pop!  iced tea.

Desperate-for-tea Shadi,

Happy Shadi!
And yes! she's wearing makeup here!

Tired Shadi :(

My friend Shadi also has her own blog 

so you should definitely go check it out by clicking on her name!
