Mini Block Dragonite

DSCF0007

I found this mini Dragonite at Mr Pen. I think it may be by the same makers as the mini 7-Eleven I built. It’s very similar in quality to the official nanoblock Eevee that is also in my collection.

The blocks are small and the same size as all the other micro-sets I own. There are plenty of extra pieces in case one got lost.

What I found slightly confusing with this particular set of instructions was that only the current steps blocks were coloured, so you couldn’t really compare it to the layer below. This one was a bit delicate and I broke the wing a couple of times while trying to build it.

Rawr. Look at how adorable he is when built! I was surprised the wings didn’t tip him backwards due to weight.

I guess his giant chibi head helps! I hope next time I visit the store they have Pikachu.

 

 

I Met Pompomchewy!

Yesterday, I met Toronto Instagram celeb @Pompomchewy! I totally didn’t realize his owner is one of my old roommates from university.

He’s so tiny and adorably fluffy.

And loves to wear his clothes! He jumps when you open his clothes cupboard and assists you in putting on his clothes.

Adorable Dim Sum @ Kwan

DSCF7687

Kwan is a beautiful modern Dim Sum and Chinese restaurant at Yonge and St. Clair. We went for the Dim Sum which consisted of traditional dishes that were often presented beautifully. They most typical items from shrimp dumplings, siu mai’s and chicken feet. I didn’t take a picture of everything because I thought it would be annoying to get the table of 10 to stop eating. Hah!

These deep-fried squid were presented in a bowl that you could eat. In case you were wondering, the bowl tasted like shrimp chips.

These adorable bunnies were filled with cream custard.

We also got some adorable bees with almonds.

We had a pleasant experience at Kwan and were super full and didn’t spend as much as we expected considering how well presented and smaller portion the dishes were. For those looking for a clean, yet still authentic (in terms of taste) experience, Kwan is a splendid spot. Plus you can instagram their desserts!

Happy 4th Birthday Teddy!

Teddy

Today Teddy turns 4 years old. I can’t believe time flies by so fast. It feels like not long ago that he entered our lives and changed it in ways we could never seem possible.

New Camera Backpack!

IMG_7283
I bought myself a new camera backpack from Johansen Camera Bags. All the bags on their website are super cute and fashionable, just what I was looking for in a camera bag.

IMG_7286
What I love most about it is that it doesn’t scream camera bag like some of the ones you see at Henry’s or Vistek. There’s even a section for a laptop that fits my Mac Air perfectly. Now I can look good while carrying all my precious gear on location.

Prints from Origrami

IMG_3556

As much as I love the ease of digital photography, I still love the feeling of holding a photograph so I printed some of my Instagram photos through Australian site, Origrami.

IMG_3560

They were delivered rather quickly by mail (considering I live in Canada). The photos came in an adorable camera shaped box with a branded tag inside.

IMG_3566

I ordered the Squareprintswhich were $22.95 AUD for 36 photos. The back of the photos had either a map (if a location was tagged) or a colourful camera logo along with your Instagram likes and comments. I really loved that idea as a backside since it provided a way to make my digital memories analog!

Mr. Tea

I added another item to my Fred and Friends family of products! Meet Mr. Tea. He is the most awesome tea infuser.

IMG_1384

I just love his chillin’ smile.

He comes apart in two pieces and you can put tea in his pants.

As he swims in your water, it turns into tea!
