Phil's-osophy

Recently I was on Reddit and came across a Modern Family's picture post. I can't tell you how much I love Modern Family. Phil Dunphy is hilarious and always has quirky remarks. I honestly wished Modern Family published this book like how How I Met Your Mother had The Bro Code written. I would buy it. LOL.

My favorite one was...

Bwahahahaha.

Hope it made you laugh as much as it did to me. Hope everyone has a blessed Easter!

Valentine's Celebrations

This year I was very lucky to spend my Valentine's Day with two of my very best friends, Lance and Hubert. 

It started with Lance surprising me at 7 am with two Betsey Johnson bracelets and some Lindt chocolates. These aren't just any costume jewellery but future promises to take me to visit the pandas and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Super sweet, right? I honestly don't even understand why I deserve all of this. I am so blessed.

Lance and I did our own couple-ly thing by having dinner at a Korean restaurant in China Town. We decided to keep the day very normal and small because another part of his gift to me this year was a trip to Banff for a few days the week after V-Day.

We ordered the Korean hot pot dish with spicy pork and oh my! Even though they say it's for 2 people... I bet 3 or 4 people could eat this and be full. I loved it because we knew that this place wouldn't be buzzing with couples so it was very quiet, but filled with our conversation! The food we got was the kind of comfort food I was craving and it definitely hit the spot.

Here's my arm candy for the night.

So pretty!

 After dinner, we took a stroll around down town for a bit where we saw a smart car parked along the road like this. Haha, I guess it's because he can. While walking around we also people watched. There were many couples out, obviously, and a few very cute old couples out and about, holding onto each other. It gave me such a warm and fuzzy feeling inside because I hope that will be me one day! 

At the end of our walk, we sat at the Marriott while waiting for Hubert to get off work. We then went to dinner with Hubert at the Cheesecake Company. Lance and I didn't eat but we got dessert here. The dessert here is massive. We always get the cheesecake sundae and it's delightful! Unfortunately they ran out of bananas that night so we got extra strawberries and pineapples. All in all it was a good day because I got to spend it with the best people in the world.

Food, food, food

Hello y'all!

Guess what I've been up to again? Eating more food! It's basically the ONLY activity we do when we hang out with friends. I have got to stop hanging out with these people; nothing gets digested in me. Hahaha. TMI.

Too be honest, we do a lot of cooking at home too but I never take pictures of what I make. I always attempt to make healthy foods at home when I can. I happened to pick up two of this cutie patootie drinks last week. It's a natural child's fruit drink with 100% fruits, no preservatives, colorings, additives, fat, or water and is gluten free! It's super pulpy so it's like a mini snack I guess you could say. I only bought it to try just because it's so cute! I'm a terrible shopper.

Last week, my friends and I helped Thomas move into his new place. Since I was with guys and they tend to always be hungry, we ended up going for Japanese food at Taiyo. Oh my goodness. We order so much food. We all had to over eat and then pack some home. It was pretty awesome here. The age dashi tofu was so yummy and crispy. I tend to be a bit picky about this and won't order this at very many Japanese restaurants because sometimes it can be super mushy before the dish is even served. We also ordered a few other appetizers such as the tako kimchi, seaweed salad and assorted tempura, as well as some simple rolls and special rolls. I think my favorite was the sunrise roll though I can't remember what's in it. Oops! 

After dinner, we grabbed some groceries at T&T for my friend and then headed to Walmart for some house essentials. Check out my crazy boots! They're my Juicy Couture moon boots. They look so ridiculous but super fun because I feel like I can jump in to puddles and just stomp all over people. =D 

I believe the next day we went to Ginger Beef as we were kind of showing a friend who's new to Calgary around town. We got some Chinese food and thank god, we went here because I was craving one of their dishes with egg tofu, scallops and eggplants. It smells so good and tastes amazing. 

Over the weekend I helped my brother bake some cupcakes because he wanted to... Note to self never bake with kids unless you are prepared to do ALL the work. Only towards the end I had fun as I got to decorate them.

 

Has anyone ever had this? I always get a kick out of the marble in this bottle. What can I say I'm easily amused. LOL. Number one loser. 

Anyways, signing off now. 

P.S., if anyone's got some amazing brussel sprouts recipe, please let me know! I'm probably going to make some in the next couple of days and I just don't know what do do with them. Thank you!
