The Sky is the Limit.

Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn, you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.
Please don't, please don't, please don't...
There's no need to complicate
'Cause our time is short.

FINALLY! i was able to go to wonderland this saturday with a couple friends :) and this time i was determined to take a picture of us while we were on every single ride we rode!


amazing how i never dropped my camera, eh? :)


so.. i DID manage to snap a picture on most of the rides. although i failed at the italian job one.. and my camera's battery power was really low at the end of the day :\. and we didn't really end up going on that many rides anyways, ended up walking around and playing random arcade games and eating and whatnot most of the time :P. soo i guess i'll just have to continue this project next time! loll.


picture that i took while riding on windseeker! i thought this ride was going to be the most amazing one ever since it looked like my favourite childhood one.. you know, the one where you sit in these super long swings and they swing you around like a merry-go-round :D.. but windseeker is simply what the name implies. all you get is wind.. and a real-life map of wonderland haha. a nice break, though.


and ooh, this is a picture of Starlight Spectacular! sadly, i didn't have my dslr so the pictures aren't that great (and my battery was low so i couldn't film it).. but basically, it's this light show that wonderland put on for its 30th anniversary. SO nice. the lights and fountains danced with the music that was playing, and the mountain became so colourful at one point :P.


so yeah, that's how our day turned out :). ps if you ever feel like going to wonderland, take the GO bus there! SO much faster and only like $1 more than TTC loll. unless you love waking up early in the morning :P.

Interesting Eats?

Part of the secret of a success in life
Is to eat what you like
And let the food fight it out inside.

went downtown a couple days ago to chill and do a couple things. of course, i lugged my dslr over there because, well, there's always something to take a picture of in downtown toronto :). and this is one of the places we went to! a small patisserie with amazingly decorated cakes and cute small pastries.


everything was behind glass - so it was kind of hard to take good photos of them :\. but anyways, the blue/brown cake was soo nice. i wannttt :O.


we bought six macarons (i.e. macaroons) to try out. the yellow one was the best - caramel flavoured. sweet and salty all at once! lmaoo.


we also went to this random pizza & pasta place: Magic Oven. it looked tiny from the outside but once you get in... it's actually preeetty big.


they had a lot of original, interesting pizzas to choose from there, one of which was the "uber sustenance": an organic pizza garnished with 24k gold leaves!


haaad to try it just to take photos of it :D. and just in case you're wondering.. gold tastes like nothing. it just absorbed the spicy taste of the sausages haha. and to my surprise, it doesn't cut you as you eat it! loll.


even though the gold pizza was really cool, the other pizza we got with sundried tomatoes, chicken, goat cheese, and portobello mushrooms on thai basil pesto tasted better :). and i loved their thin crust, yuumm.


yup, that's all for now! i am running on less than 16 hours of sleep over the last 3 days. and i think i'm gonna crash... now haha. will post up wonderland pictures sooon :)!

Dear Photograph.

Memories are a way of holding on
To the things we love,
The things we are,
The things we never want to lose.
Caption: dear photograph, thank you for everything we had.

i don't know if i'm really late, but i just discovered this site through a facebook post from a friend :): dearphotograph.com. it is THE cutest thing ever! and i hope one day, when i'm all old and wrinkly, i can make some of my own amazing 'dear photographs' as well :). so, of course, before that day comes.. i guess i just have to keep collecting picture memories - most of which, hopefully, i can look back on and simply smile.

sorry, no picture (that i've taken) today. i'll need to grow up quite a bit more before the pictures i've taken can become 'dear photograph's ♥.
