The Eggnog Time.

I went to my paradise, also known as, Malachi again for another week, but this time, I brought one of my close friends, Natasha Evans (I also like to call her Eggnog - an insider between us) with me. She experinced Malachi for the very first time, and she fell in love with that beautiful place.

Our three days stay turned into seven days stay, and it was worth every moment there. Many new memories were made - Natasha fell off the jetski during her first ride with me, chasing after the jetski while it was floating further away from us, and the golf cart almost rolled down the hill with Natasha on board when I hopped off. Also, new experiences were made - Natasha went tubing for the first time, witnessing flying squirrels, and having a kangaroo mouse scrambling around on my foot. We celebrated my grandpa's 85th birthday on our last day there.

A picture is definitely worth a thousand words.

Basking and Catching up.


Basking in +36c weather with the sun blazing on the sand is always fun with a friend. I started the day by shopping at good ol' Wal-Mart with Natasha to find her a cute bathing suit for her to wear, then rushed off to my dentist appointment. Pretty interesting morning, but hey, I got some strawberry fluoride. So yummy.

It was Natasha's first time to go to a beach with a friend to bask and catch-up, so I introduced her to Grand Beach. She absolutely loved it, especially the fact that there was a group of large people a couple feet away had a sub station set up to make subs on the beach. We weren't allowed to be on the boardwalk 'cause apparently, there was a bear on loose nearby.

We spent an hour on the beach 'cause it was incredibly hot. We were extremely grateful that my car have A.C when we arrived back to the car.

Tomorrow, Natasha and I will head to Malachi! It will be her first time, as well. Definitely looking forward to more photo opportunities.

A Picture Is Worth A 1,000 Words.

I apologize for not keeping up with my blog, but what can I say? It's summer time, and that means I'm super-b busy with fabulous summer plans! This summer have been treating me wonderful lately, and I'm very grateful for each opportunity.

Jordan and I went to my cabin also known as paradise at Malachi, Ontario for a week with my family. I had a ton of opportunities to take wonderful shots because of the beautiful surrounding. Jordan and I finally became official again on July 15 after two months break, and we celebrated his birthday at the cabin as well. It was a fun-filled week!

We returned to Winnipeg for my cousin, Taylor's wedding. It was such an emotional day because my entire family have never seen my cousin so happy and in love with a girl before, and we welcomed Alicia into our family. The backyard setting for the wedding was perfectly gorgeous, but we all were under a huge white tent due to the on and off rain.
Shortly after the wedding, I got myself tattooed with two beautiful stars on my hip bones. It is a very spontaneous moment, and I don't regret it one bit. For people who are wondering why I chose stars, I'm absolutely absorbed into astronomy, and I'm always fascinated by them ever since I was a young lass.

My dear bestfriend, Chris, (the one who is holding a cup with pink straw) moved to Calgary yesterday for university. We had a mini farewell late lunch at an amazing crepe/bubble tea place, Kawaii Crepe. It was my friends' first visit, and they absolutely loved it there! It's pretty upsetting for all of us to let him go. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, so I could see him again.

Yesterday, Jordan and I went to Gimli because I've never been there, even though I lived in Winnipeg in my entire life. We brought my dear chihuahua, Cooper with us. It was an amazing afternoon because I pretty much fell in love with the town. It's so beachy, and reminds me a lot like Seaside, Oregon. (Jordan and I stayed there for a week for a beach volleyball tournament). Cooper definitely enjoyed himself as well, and he passed out the minute we got back to the car. So adorable!

Life's sweet.
