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!

Crappy weather and starbucks

I just got back from Starbucks at Target

to get some Frappuccinos for myself and my sister

since today is the lat day of the HAPPY HOUR Where you get 50% off on Frappuccinos!

She got Java Chip and I got Caramel Ribbon Crunch.

When I got my order, I realized that they were missing the caramel crunch on top of my Frappuccino

so I asked them if there was anything else they can replace the caramel crunch with.

They said that they can give me a chocolate crunch and I said, 'Sure, why not. Might as well try.'

I thought they were going to just add chocolate crunch on top of my current Frappuccino

BUT they made me another Venti Frappuccino instead!

It made me so happy, because I basically got 2 Venti Frappuccinos for $2.75!

Of course, I shared both with my mom

but it just made my day how I got to try two new Frappuccinos today :D


you can clearly see how happy I was

Sea food?

Just a little bit more food I found on my camera recently

I was on instagram yesterday and I read the funniest diet-related joke.

It was:

"I'm on a seafood diet. When I see food, I eat food"

Made me laugh and I hope it made you laugh too :)

Over the March Break, which was almost 2 monthes ago, 

I made a pair of Ombré Denim Shorts from a pair of thrifted jeans.

and I'll be posting a tutorial on how to make these shorts soon. once I get these two tests over with :(

and yes, I also made that camera strap :)

Ultimate: MCI VS. LCI

On the same day as our game against TCI,

We also played against LCI which is known as one of the most spirited Ultimate teams.

I really enjoyed playing against them since they were very friendly and talkative during the game.

When I fell head first during the game,

my opposite player made sure I was ok and didn't have a concussion throughout the entire game.

I really loved how she was so nice and kind even though I was playing against her.
because trust me, some people can play reallyy dirty and mean :(

caption this photo?


At half time, LCI was leading 5-1

until MCI came back with a different strategy.



I spy three shy grade nine girls



This is a really good photo showing give and go passes between handlers.



Not exactly the best way to catch a disc.


For those interested in watching the game,

This is this link to the page where you will be able to watch highlights of our games.

Ultimate: MCI VS. TCI

On Tuesday, April 30 2013, our school's ultimate team played Thistletown C.I.  and Lakeshore C.I.

Both schools were very challenging

but our team kept the 'undefeated' status.

These are some of the photos taken during the game against Thistletown C.I.


Cheers before the game!





and this is me and my friends, being silly in front of the camera.

Introducing: our team manager!

Half Time

As you can see, the grade nine girls on our team are quite good at photobombing.

Towards the tunnel!
TUNNEL!

Yes, that is a camera man at the back. All our game was recorded and aired on Rogers TV.



Both teams played very tough 

but the final score was 6-5 for us.

Game against LCI will follow shortly.

2 Nights Ago

The sky reminded me of summer nights and cotton candy.
I just had to snap a picture :)

April 14: Birthday Outing #2

For those who are wondering why I had 2 birthday outings,

it's because my friends from school

and my "out of school" best aren't the closest,

so to avoid any awkwardness, I just had two separate birthday outings.

For my second, or smaller, birthday outing,

we went to Caffe Demetre located on Bloor St.

My friend, who apparently likes reading my blog posts, was being herself. Even in public.

Beautiful birthday cards i got for my birthday
It meant a lot because this was my first hand-made birthday cards I've ever gotten.

My friends asked the waiter to play "Happy Birthday" on the PA and include a candle on my crepe.
and yes, the crepe was extremely filling and delicious!
After consuming around 1000 calories worth of crepe,

one of my friends was craving McDonald fries

and we walked 30 minutes from Bloor St. to get to the closest McDonald's.

Even though we might have burned 100 calories from walking for so long,

we all evened it out by sharing 2 Large French Fries.


April 13: birthday outing #1

As my first birthday outing with my friends,

we all went to Kelsey's for dinner

followed by movies after.

We were so proud that we actually managed to come out to a formal dinner.
You would understand why if you see us hang out at school...



I got free ice cream and fried Mars bars as a 'birthday gift' from Kelsey's.
It was my first time trying fried Mars bar, and I have to say, it was very good.

After our dinner, we all went to my friends house for a good game of pool.

I was attempting to be all serious, but as you can tell, I'm not very good at those stuff.

What's a party without fooling around?
