Do you know what I did last summer? It’s the best summer I’ve ever had and I don’t know if I could top that ever again. Here are the stats: 4 continents, 8 countries, 21 cities, 11 flights, some bottles of wines and sangrias, and a handful of people I’ve

Can someone explain this to me how a floating busker gets his ass up on the air? I was hypnotized and I wracked my brains out on how this thing happen. I’m sure this one doesn’t involve magic or hypnotic evil spells, right? I’m beginning to think that his shadow (looks

I went to my first lavender farm yesterday. It’s in Milton, less than an hour drive from Toronto. The direction going there is kinda complicated. We tried to google the address written on the website but it kept bringing us to an address in Boston, Massachusettes. So, we called and

Here are the photos of the 2015 Toronto Pride Parade. I wasn’t really motivated to finish the Pride because it got boring. I don’t like it when each group has more than 50 people marching and do nothing but walk. Not even cheering. It got drag. So, I decided to

Both the living and the dead came to join the Zombie Walk Toronto 2014 Parade that started at Nathan Phillips Square in the city’s downtown. As usual, bloody and decaying zombies woke up to terrorize the shit out of the living parade watchers. Even the commuters sitting within the comfort of

Fall Colours in Crothers Woods

The fall colors in Crothers Woods in Toronto didn’t disappoint me. When the sun showed up after lunchtime today, a friend and I went for a hike for two hours there. Well, not exactly two hours of hiking; 45 minutes of that were spent in camwhoring. We were worried the

It’s a festival called with two names: Caribana Festival (the old one) and Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival (the new one). For most people, the former is better-sounding than the latter that bears its sponsor’s name. Caribana, aka Scotiabank Caribbean Festival 2014 is no different from the past: disorganized.
