Happy Canada Day long weekend!

Hi everyone,

Wow, I don't even remember when I last posted, seems like forever! My apologies, life happens and you forget about your blog for months at a time. I guess the most significant event that occurred was that I had a little accident while at a club and as a result I injured my ankle. Long story short I had a cast on my ankle for 2 weeks. I learned a great deal about myself during this time, I learned to never take your health for granted and to appreciate the little things in life such as walking to the corner store or walking up a flight of stairs unassisted. The experience definitely humbled me and gave me a better appreciation of life in general. Life is short and shouldn't be wasted. Since getting my cast off I have been attending physiotherapy to strengthen my foot and to regain my flexibility.  I am probably 90% recovered which is good because I do intend to fully enjoy the great summer weather Toronto has to offer. Besides my ankle injury nothing huge to report; I will try to check in more frequently but I say that everytime, lol. I leave you with a picture of me the day before getting my cast off! Please avoid breaking a bone or tearing a muscle because it really isn't fun being in a cast.

 

Long Overdue!

Wow, I can't believe it is already March, really, where has all the time gone??? My last post was shortly after New years, I really have to do a better job of posting new entries.  Just to give you a quick and dirty summary of activities since my last post I have just completed my photography course this past Saturday! =)

I am even more excited about taking pictures now and I hope to continue my love and interest in photography as it is a great way for me to express some of my creative energies.  I don't think I will be taking the 2nd part of the course as I feel I am capable now of figuring a lot of things out on my own. 

I am pretty excited now because I am actually going to Europe for the first time this June!!! I only have 2 weeks off so it will be a short trip unfortunately but it's okay, I will just have to save some stuff for next time.  I am planning on visiting London, Paris and Amsterdam.  I feel there still isn't enough time to do 3 cities in 2 weeks but you can never really have enough time to see an entire city right?

I am recovering from a cold that has lasted more than a week, I am so frustrated as it has really thrown my gym routine out the window....not only that, but I sound terrible over the phone and everyone can hear it!

I am hoping to learn how to cook properly, that is my next big goal for me. I know it probably sounds sad, but I can't really cook, lol, so that is why this is at the top of my priority list. It makes a lot of sense since I like eating and I like to try all kinds of food that I learn how to cook stuff that I like to eat.

I hope the next time I blog I will have made some progress, I will try to post a picture of my first creation.
Below is a picture I took of Allan Garden Conservatory, I have used a HDR program to process it. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

It is a new year and I am excited to build on the success and momentum from 2010! I am currently taking my first photography class, so I am quite excited to be taking photography more seriously! I am also trying to get my ass back into shape so I have been pretty good with my gym routine thus far. I do hope to make a trip to Europe this year, I really want to go, hopefully I am able to book some vacation this summer. I think one of things I want to continue from 2010 is to continue to be more active and involved in what Toronto has to offer. I am curious and I want to continue to explore all the cool things Toronto has to offer and perhaps meet a few new people along the way. I just want to share a cool picture I took while waiting for my bus at Finch Station, I am continuing to hone my craft, hope you enjoy the journey!
