622. Blogmas Day 20 | Patria

Last night we went to Patria for another Spanish dinner. It was a really nice evening and one of my favourites during the holidays this year so far, as it was a pretty special occasion as well. We ordered quite a lot this time and all left feeling incredibly full (the opposite from my first time here lol).

602. Recent Life

This has probably been one of the most eventful and fun months of my year so far. I've been really really busy..but in a good way. I am quite happy with my current stage in life right now in terms of work, personal and social life, but I wish time would slow down. Recently I've mostly been working my usual job(s), working on the new startup, cooking a lot of pumpkin things, going to the gym/yoga, long walks with Hennessy, stock research and trading, meeting new people, going out a lot, etc. I did renovations at my place in the beginning of this year. It's now October and I still haven't finished organizing everything (as I haven't gotten around to it) and there's still a few more pieces of furniture I have to buy. My goal before the end of this year is to get everything for that done. I can't believe summer is over already and that we're nearing the end of another year. I don't have any set plans yet for the holidays but hopefully will be going away somewhere at some point..

Anyways, here is a big post of what has been going on this month:





Recently I've been obsessed with everything pumpkin. You'd probably know this if you follow me on Instagram and/or Snapchat though lol. So far I've made 3 pumpkin cakes already and 1 pumpkin soup within the span of 2 weeks. I have a list of other pumpkin recipes I'm going to try (pumpkin risotto, pumpkin pie, pumpkin pasta, pumpkin ricotta stuffed pasta shells, etc etc etc). I have a very obsessive personality so once I like something..I go extreme with it. Oh and one thing I really want to do this year is pumpkin picking (on a farm of course)!


















Last weekend I went to dinner at Patria, a Spanish restaurant with a few friends. I've recently developed a love for everything Spanish. Mostly thanks to Despacito hahah. The tapas here were really good but the portions were tiny for the price we paid. I still really liked the restaurant though. The decor inside is very cool.



Here's a couple dishes we got. They're about $15-20 each which we felt was a bit overpriced.


I drank so much that night! =\ Starting with half a pitcher of Sangria.

On another night when the weather was perfect in the evening, I took Hennessy for a loooong walk around the harbourfront (my favourite area to walk him). I sat for over an hour just people watching, listening to music and thinking about life. Then a bunch of little kids came over and played with Hennessy for awhile. They were so cute.

I wish Snapchat filters were real life hahah. These days I am more active on social media so if you haven't yet, feel free to add me on Instagram/Snapchat! @leftbanked

417. Cava Suprema

I had a pretty relaxed (lazy) weekend. Stayed in, did a bit of work, & watched the first to third Big Bang Theory seasons in a span of 2 days?! I've never watched this show before but now I'm hooked.

I love bright nail polish and recently found this one from China Glaze - Pool Party. I've tried many different brands but they are the best for neon colours. This one is actually really pink/red/coral-ish but in the photos it looks really orange.






Hennessy's favourite spot to sunbathe during the day..on this blanket in front of the couch.
