- woke up around 10 last sat, had a quick breakfast and decided to hit the bed again since it was raining... woke up at 2pm, looked outside the window, and it was still raining!!! i didn't want to waste the day so i decided to leave the hotel and go shopping at bloor-yorkville. bloor-yorkville is the michigan avenue (chicago) of toronto. it is considered as the epicentre of toronto's high-fashion scene, weaving culture, cuisine, fashion , and film together into one vibrant midtown neighbourhood. i would have enjoyed it better it if was not raining but at least temperature was around 7 degrees. so not bad at all. i was able to buy some stuff at gap and nike. also i had late lunch at lettieri espresso bar and café (at cumberland st). it's a european style cafe that serves great smoked salmon with cream cheese sandwich and dark roast coffee.
- after bloor-yorkville, i picked up my most expensive purchase so far at bestbuy dundas. my new toy is a white 15.5 sony vaio laptop. i do i got a good deal. or maybe i'm rationalizing. haha. i'm a sucker for bargain items.
- i didn't want to spend saturday night in my hotel room so i finally got to watch second city's 10:30pm "this party is a riot" show at mercer street. it's just a 5 minute walk.
- it was raining the whole day and night and around 1230am, on my way home from the show, it started snowing hard. weird. just as i thought that winter is over, it bites me hard in the ass. haha.
- sunday, i got invited to a pinoy gathering. kakaiba talaga ang pinoy hospitality. bagnet, kare-kare, laing, fried tilapia, sapin-sapin, puto, kutsinta, etc. overflowing food!!!
- heard mass at st michael on ash wednesday. i almost forgot about it. good thing my officemate mentioned it while we were chatting. it's hard to be a catholic in a non-catholic nation. lent na pala. i'm still thinking of what to give up for lent. coffee? softdrinks? o maybe beer?
