new faces

today was a great day! i woke up at 10, which much to my dismay, was actually 11. oops! i had to rush, as i was supposed to be downtown by 1, meaning i would have to leave at 12. what was this engagement i was rushing off to you ask? one of my friends, amalia, has just moved to toronto for a 3 month internship at  a pr agency (i think she said it was called rocket public relations, but don't quote me on it!) we worked together at the good old real canadian superstore a few years back, and now she's here in the big city whoo! super excited for some summer shenanigans and backyard bbqs at her house in little india!

we went to one of my fave restos fresh on spadina. i ordered some mango pomegranate juice, which was basically summer in a glass. it was so refreshing! to eat, i had the jerusalem bowl on soba noodles. this was actually SO SO good! i got this description off of their facebook page: Jerusalem Fresh Bowl, where vegetables gather to hug each other♥ Hummus, grilled spinach, tomato, cucumber, parsley, red onion, sunflower sprouts, olive oil and tamari, mixed herbs, lemon and chili powder. 


can you imagine something yummier than that?! this pic i found on flickr doesn't do it justice:

man, mix that all together and it's heaven! i couldn't even finish half so i packed up the rest to go. then we shopped around queen street, finding this super cute vintage store across from urban outfitters (i forget the name, someone help me out!) i was so tempted by sweaters and menswear woolen pants... oh right, it is springtime. i find myself always wanting to wear the opposite season's appropriate attire. onesies in the winter, sweaters in the summer... so discombobulated! anyways, i put off the temptation for knits that would make me look like a 60 year old grandpa, and instead, found a shirt for st patties day, a lovely green/white striped number from forever 21, some clover hair clips, and a pair of faux reading glasses (my friend allison has the same ones and they are just so fun!) 

so we'll have to coordinate so we both don't wear them to school on the same day. i know, i know, these glasses are soooo stereotypical "creative person" slash "nerdy hipster" but i like them and i don't care what anyone else thinks! my roommate met me at dundas for this shopping adventure, then we got a nice bottle of vino for thursdays festivities and she picked up some keith's for her boyfriend's visit starting wednesday! needless to say, the commute home was tiring, carrying all this extra crap. 

enjoyed my lunch leftovers for dinner. i basically got nothing accomplished on the school front today, but lots of other stuff got done! i finished the night having a really nice long skype with one of my best friends, jess deeks (shameless plug http://jessicadeeks.com/ she is an amazing photographer!) cut up a watermelon for breakfasts during the week and lit some candles and just chilled. making a mental list of everything i have to do tomorrow... laundry gaaaah! no socks! forgot to change my fish's water as well poor baby. also, something to get excited about! young lions next saturday! my supertalented art director vanessa and i are so stoked for this! we've been planning our food for weeks. poutine on spicy fries. it is going to be so rad. anyways, it's one in the morning and i'm rambling and definitely not saying anything that anyone would find remotely interesting! lol so goodnight everyone, hope you all had a fun weekend! and have some wicked st patty's plans ;)
