body blitz water spa
After the gruelling Algonquin trip, my body was mostly aches and pains (though not as bad as last year; a testament to my much better diet and workout routine these days) so I made a visit to the women-only Body Blitz Water Spa. I knew I had to go within two days of returning from…

kayaking on the harbourfront
Two weekends ago, I attended a beginner’s kayaking course at the Toronto harbourfront. I’ve been kayaking before, but only once or twice – and never have I had lessons on how to paddle properly. So this course, suggested by my friend, intrigued me. The coolest thing about it was being able to see the city…

nyc blast
So, I’m back from New York. I didn’t post right away, because I needed a few days to let it all sink in first. Well, I also went camping promptly upon my return! In any case, I’ve now formulated a few thoughts about the whole experience of that city, brief though it was. New York…

days go by featured on blogto
My blog was recently featured on BlogTo.com’s Blogerati files. Very exciting! I want to thank Lily from BlogTo for contacting me and asking if I’d like to have it up there. It’s been great getting the extra hits and I think my site is showing up more often in search engine results (usually for Toronto-based…

new york, here i come!
I’m off to New York City today! I’ve never been… or at least, if I have, I was too young to remember it. From one big city, to another: I wonder what it will be like? Two friends have been recently and they both said they felt much safer and more comfortable in Toronto than…

red and white again, but this time it’s not x-mas
Happy Canada Day! 139 years… I think next year’s gonna be a big one. And in 11 years, we’ll have a huge one. Oh… 11 years… I’ll be 35… woah. I’m off celebrating Canada’s glorious woodlands, camping near Algonquin park for the weekend (yeah, I wrote this post ahead of time). In any case, you…

the garbage goblins have landed in toronto
Not to steal a topic, but I recently saw a poster for the TTC’s new ad campaign, Put The Garbage Where It Belongs, and it made me laugh out loud. On the subway platform. When I was by myself. Garbage goblins! I love it! It was so damn cheesey, it really did hit me. Spacing‘s…

ttc metropass colours
(Apparently I’m a bit more ill than I had originally thought.) I wanted to make an observation on the TTC monthly Metropass and the colours they choose to use on it. Earlier this year, brown was one of the dominant colours on the card for two months in a row; I don’t remember if these…

toronto manhunt!
Last night I made it out to my first ever game of Manhunt, a variation on the age-old game of hide and seek, with my friend Peter. Manhunt is played outside at night. The game starts off with one “hunter”, and the hunted steel away into the darkness to hide. This particular game, which happens…
