I’d freeze it right now. Every now and then, you come across a perfect place in time and desire for everything to stop so you can stay a while. I’m in that place right now.

It’s my dad’s birthday today. Happy birthday to the Father of the Year every year. I love you, dad.

Here’s the beautiful BMO stadium against the beautiful Toronto skyline. We live in a beautiful city.

New tunes on repeat:
Bit by Bit – Mother Mother
Lover of the Light – Mumford and Sons
Trojans – Atlas Genius

PS. I have the best family in the world. I love them to pieces.

I made it!

Around this time last year, I was researching GMAT prep courses and MBA programs. In April, I went on hiatus and cracked open my GMAT books for the first time (flashback to post). That was the beginning of the first of many long roads. In May, June, July, and August, I wanted to kill the GMAT (flashback to post). In September, October, and November, everything suddenly clicked and I started to enjoy solving Math problems (flashback to post). In December, I wrote the GMAT (flashback to post). In January and February, I slaved away with applications. Yesterday, I got accepted into the MBA program of the Schulich School of Business and here we are. I am so happy. Thank you yet again to my awesome and unfailing God.

Part time school and full time work commences in May 2013. I have no idea what to do with my Etsy shop. I’m considering letting my little sister run it for a while. Nonetheless, workhorse mode: ON. Here comes the next long road – this isn’t going to be easy but I think I can, I think I can, I know I can! The best part – it’ll all be documented on this blog because this blog is going to be the journal of my life until I am no more (beginning 2009).

Haven’t posted self portraits in a while, so I went out shooting with my girlfriend this afternoon. A beautiful day always calls for a photo date.

I love Mountain Sound. I enjoy the Hipster subculture although a lot of people dislike it. Like this guy.

My best friend is a sweet cook and baker. Check out her newly launched foodie blog at LaseBakes.com. You’ll be salivating by the end of it.

After adding the archives section the other day, I was in an html / php headspace so I kept going and built a nice footer at the bottom of this blog. Scroll all the way down to see. :)

Another burly cow photo. There were so many great shots of them looking right at the camera, they all had to be posted. I did have to make all sorts of funny noises to get them to hold their stare though.

Thank goodness February is over. We’re another month closer to Spring and another month closer to being able to hop on my gorgeous vintage Dutch bicycle for therapeutic bike rides in the sunset.

Look at them! They are adorable. There was a herd of them in some countryside farm.

But I’ve finally added an archives section to this blog – it can be accessed through the navigation bar on the top right corner. The “archives” is exactly as the word describes – essentially a collective library of my postings (photos and writings) since the inception of the blog in December 2009. It needed to be done for a very long time but got away with procrastination and not wanting to figure it out. Making these additions may seem simple and it’s because they probably are… but only to a web developer. For everyone else, it’s a ton of Googling, reading gibberish computer language, and trials and errors. But with some patience and persistence, you figure it out eventually.

I’ll leave you with this amazing story if you haven’t already heard about it.

Need to look great for the Jamaican sun. That means P90X workouts at 10:00PM. Right after this post.

If there is any place in your heart for the beautiful and abandoned, visit Prince Edward County.
