580. Last Weekend

Here is a very quick post from last weekend. I always say this but I'm going to try very hard from now on to make more frequent updates. I am so behind on my blog (about a month behind on my recent life posts and months and months behind on the vacation posts lol)..ahh. I probably make it sound like a chore but I actually enjoy blogging regularly because I can read back in the future. I just need to organize my time better and be more consistent with my posts.

So I wanted to post about my weekend because I had a lot of fun, and it was the night I introduced three of my closest friends to each other for the first time ever. This is something I never do/never done before. I usually see all my friends separately and never introduce them to each other unless we had all met at the same time. I have a few reasons for this but it's something I wouldn't do unless I knew for sure they would get along of course (which was true in this case). First I went with two of them to Gusto 101 for dinner. It was SO GOOD. I love their Regina Margherita pizza! We are definitely going to go back..the open industrial style in there also made it the perfect summer spot.



Then near the end of dinner one of my friends I hadn't seen in like 5 years texted me to meet up (he now lives out of town and was in Toronto for a night)...so I invited him out with us. We ended up walking to the harbourfront then sat at Amsterdam Brewhouse for some drinks and shots. It's our favourite patio by the harbour now - especially on the 2nd floor. We ended up patio-hopping until 2:30am and I took more polar bear shots, aperol spritz and sangrias than I should've hahah.

I can't wait for the rest of this summer. But our summer here in Toronto won't last for much longer unfortunately. Partly due to the fact that we don't get many hot days in a year...but also, my friends and I are all taking separate vacations this summer back to back/at different times so we would only have a few more weeks of summer together! But I am super excited for my vacation..

579. Hong Kong | Big Buddha

The Big Buddha in Hong Kong is a typical tourist attraction. Most of my family members who have lived in Hong Kong all their lives have never visited because they see it as just for tourists. & on my numerous trips to Hong Kong in the past..we also never went here. But this time it was on my list of places to see. So on one of our final days in Hong Kong, we went. I remember it being an insanely hot and humid day, but it was nice and sunny and I had a wonderful time.

The best photos are the ones when you don't know it's being taken. My mom took this shot of me which I didn't know until later. I really love it.






There were a lot of cows roaming around the area.




Starting the long climb up. It looks like I have short hair here lol.


So it was actually really hot that day. At the top there was a little shop selling popsicles and pretty much everyone went to buy one immediately when they got to the top. I did as well of course.







Then we went off in search of the "Wisdom Path":

578. Renovations | Part 9

I am finally almost done furnishing my place! All the major things are done but now I just have to finish unpacking some more boxes, get a wardrobe and a few final things that might take me awhile to find and buy (paintings and/or photos for my walls and also something for my washroom that I won't reveal yet..plus a few random things). I've said this many times but I really love my "new" place. I wish it didn't take me so long to renovate. Now I really want to do another place..maybe I should become an interior designer hahah. Here are some photos of the different areas. I will probably do a final update (part 10) once I get my wardrobe and finish unpacking everything.
