Sending Love to Paris

November 13, 2015LifeLeave a Comment

I don’t think anything I blogged about would be really appropriate tonight so I’m sending my love to Paris. This one strangely hit me more than the usual world tragedies since part of the drama tonight happened at a concert of all places. Concerts aren’t often the place for something like that to happen. Generally I feel like a safe part of a community whenever I am at one. I don’t think any one there to see Eagles of Death Metal expected it either. This is a tragedy I am still trying to process.

Presenting Ride the Tempo’s First Show

November 12, 2015Entertainment, Life1 Comment

For the first time ever I’m presenting a show as Ride the Tempo. I have always wanted to host a show but have been a bit reluctant because I was scared that it wouldn’t go perfectly, or that people wouldn’t show up.

I finally decided to take the dive when I was offered a slot at The Handlebar. A lot of work goes into organizing a show. Thinking up a theme, finding and securing artists, posters, press releases and I’ve been doing it all while holding my full-time job (which itself has some insane events during non-work hours, but that’s another story).

I’m super proud and happy to announce L CON, Parallels and NYSSA at the Handlebar on November 29th. Facebook event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/460187380844670/.

So far, I’ve received an overwhelming response and support from the music community I’ve surrounded myself with. I’m happy to have said YES to this opportunity. We all have to jump into the unknown occasionally to grow as people.

What’s My Favourite Food?

November 11, 2015FoodLeave a Comment

People like to ask me what my favourite food is and weirdly I think the answer isn’t pizza or burgers… it’s RIBS. I can never resist a nice juicy rack of ribs, whether they are homemade or from a restaurant!

What’s your favourite food?

It’s getting cold here but my hands are totally ready with these new mitts I got at work!

I Binged On Master of None

November 9, 2015Entertainment, TVLeave a Comment

I spent most of the weekend bing watching on Aziz Ansari’s new Netflix series Master of None. It was so great. I think my favourite part of it was the real life lessons and (often taboo) topics were covered in meaningful ways. I won’t give away any spoilers so I think you should go watch it before someone else does!

Took my cousin to @sweetjesus4life 🍦🍦🍦

I returned to Sweet Jesus with my cousin before it got too cold because I wanted to try some more of their insane cones.

I had the cookies and cream cone chocked full of Oreo goodness!

My cousin tried the Krusty the Cone, the most Instagram worthy thing in the store. It’s a little on the sweet side since it is all sugary stuff after all!

Khao San Road

November 7, 2015November 7, 2015Food, Restaurant ReviewsLeave a Comment

I finally visited Khao San Road with my cousin. The restaurant does not take reservations but we only had to wait around 15 minutes for a table two during dinner service. We ordered two dishes the Kua Gling and Kha Soi.

The Khua Soi, which I ordered with shrimp, was a golden curry with coconut milk and crispy noodles. At Khao San Road, you can choose between a bunch of different spice levels. I did a level 3 out of a possible 11. 3 was already a decent level of spicy but the coconut milk in this dish helped cool down the tongue. The curry was super flavourful and I loved the crunchy noodles.

The Kua Gling was a shredded meat dish and we chose chicken as the protein. We also chose spice level 3 on this dish but it felt a lot spicier than the other one.

To go with my dinner I had some Singha, a Thai beer. I found it relatively light and refreshing between bites of curry.

You might have to wait for a table at Khao San Road, but their flavourful curries are definitely worth it!

IONIX Ash

I finally opened the Ionix Ash I received via Bunz Trading Zone.

It opens up to 9 pieces sort of like Lego Mini figs, only more like a mini robot.

Behold Ash bot!

I Love Autumn

November 5, 2015Health, Inspiration, LifeLeave a Comment

I love autumn, the temperature is perfect and nature is so beautiful! It is also time to relax after a relatively busy summer.

I have been focusing on spending more time with friends and myself. It’s time to recharge.

Enchanted Forest Colouring Book

November 4, 2015Art, Crafts/DIY1 Comment

I craved to the adult colouring book craze. It is an activity that is super relaxing and gets your creative juices going. Colouring between intricate lines gets you focused on something else besides a busy life. It’s also relatively inexpensive to buy one with beautiful line work. My sister has Johanna Basford’s Secret Garden, so I thought I’d get her second book Enchanted Forest.

Can you believe this is just the cover page? It’s still a work in progress but it is done with a set of 50 markers. I think I’m going to do different sets of markers, pens, pencils, paint on each page since I own a lot of unused art supplies. I’ll be blogging my favourite pages as I make my way through this book.
