can't believe it's already been one month since i lost posted anything here. i guess i just don't have much to say at all; really not much has happened to me since the last entry, what a boring life i lead eh? but something that has been keeping me up at night and really consuming my attention is me taking the next step... how do u know when u are ready to buy your own place?
i'm standing at the edge, everything is prepared but yet i can't take that leap. i like the place that i saw, but my interest still irks me whenever i think of the one that slipped out of my hands. there is something about an old well-maintained building that makes you think of the older posh toronto; dare i even say manhattan like feel? while i am sure everyone who comes to this moment will have this... cold feet, i just wonder if it is really a sign that i am in fact not ready to move out, not ready financially to be living so close to the edge.
some food links, i know everyone already knows these places, but i've just "discovered" them for myself. first up, diana's seafood (www.dianasseafood.com). located in the lawrence+warden area of toronto. from the outside, it looked like the rest of that area, a little runned down, but it offered a vast variety of seafood. the reason that i went there? to get myself some fresh oysters; yes, if you are keeping score, i officially like fresh oysters (no, i hate them cooked).
second one is cumbrae's (www.cumbraes.com). a excellent butcher shop with 3 locations serving toronto, who get their products from local farms!
hockey season is among us again! here's to me hoping that the toronto maple leafs (www.mapleleafs.com) will be making an appearance in the playoffs this year. while it is still preseason/exhibition games and nothing to get excited about, at least we haven't lost every single game; for those who don't know it's 2-2-1 with a game up against the sabres. the opening game for the leafs will be on the 7th against the montreal canadiens at the acc.
last but not least.... are you ready for the winter season? have your emergency kits ready? i do, flash lights, gas stoves, MRE kits, emergency blankets, water... let's hope this season will be like last season's, a nice balmy dry winter.
