quick post-

Hi! 

eheh... I haven't blogged in awhile, have I? But I have a new circle lens review post coming up soon! 
Just making a quick post to show that I haven't abandoned my blog =p

hellohellohello I'm back

-

Ahem hello. I haven't blogged in awhile because I was quite busy over this summer *coughcoughlazycoughnoonereadsmybloganywaycoughdie*
But I'm back! Kind of. School just started so I'll need to concentrate since it's my last year but . . the 1st week has already passed & I already wanna lay down & die LOL. jk I just never want to leave my house.

This semester, I'm taking Leadership, Biology, Work Exp & Law . . & I have 2 off blocks! I can leave the house later which is great because it takes me about 45 mins-1 hour to get to school.
Yep, make myself suffer to see my friends but end up not really seeing my friends at school anyway because I'm so fucking socially awkward oh my god.

Let me recap what happened this summer: summer school, volunteer to help international students in ESL, discovery of BL (OMGG) & video games. Ok done.

3 of the international students (guys) I mentored for volunteer! I'm on the very right (I look so awkward lol...) & my friend with the yellow shirt was also a mentor. 

This was on the last day of volunteer, where all the international students gathered at a school to celebrate I guess. It was SO hot that day because they didn't even bother putting on the aircon =o=

For some reason I only have pictures with them on my camera. Maybe because they're cute, lol.

They were also irritatingly funny at times =o=

Here are some pics from . . early July. Yes, I have hundreds of pics to upload from this summer, & this is only the beginning.

English Bay! 

My first REAL Converse shoes from Sushi ahahaa 

The last day before seeing this nublet before she went back to Chinar!! 

♥ she's back now

This sheer black shirt was one of my purchases from Portland, Oregon in U.S. Only $6? Shopping in America ♥ 

Another purchase from the U.S . . the F21 in Canada is a bit lame.

ahh the last 3 pics were taken with Sushi's pro Canon camera

-I  never know what to title my posts because they're all over the place =3=

Portland, Oregon Trip!

-

I went on a 3 day 2 night trip to Portland, Oregon! 

The weather was wonderful - no sun, no sweat.

It was a 5-6 hr car ride . . Book + music = good to go. With a sore butt & frozen legs though.

*Pic heavy post

 Portland's Chinatown

I didn't take many pictures because it wasn't impressive at all aha. It's really nothing compared to Van's Chinatown. 

VOODOO DOUGHNUTS

We had to wait about 20 minutes in line for this . . at 10 am o_o;;

I keep on thinking of Sudden Attack when I read this. "Fire in the hole!" anyone?

Menu!

can you spot the "cock-n-balls" doughnut? lol. the blunt is behind it.

You can check out the menu online..it's pretty interesting 

The pink/blue swirly one was lemon, the yellow one was mango, the tan one was .. boston cream? & raspberry jam inside the voodoo!

It tastes pretty good! But I think I still prefer simpler donuts like Krispy Kreme's original glazed ;o;

the box is so cute! But horrible lighting because it was taken in the hotel room

After stuffing ourselves with donuts, we went to the weekend Flea Market
It apparently supports many local artists.

SOAPPP

blurry ><

Ceramic face sculptures 

The soaps were so cute! & smelled really good. 

So many flavours . . 

 

I hate gai lan. I only took this picture because they gave us a truckload of it -__- & this is only the plate 1/4 eaten? The serving sizes are huge down there. 

lol a unique scene?

"Welcome to the Portland" LOL as if what's going on the background represents Portland . .

BEN & JERRY'S

Berry

Raspberry crunch? 

 <3!! I need to get myself one of these . . . some day. The floral ones are so lovely.

After downtown, we went to oldtown. It had a lot of unique little boutiques but we didn't go in any of them D;

Super busy ice cream shop? The line up was soo long. 

I don't know if you could tell, but I really liked this ... rock cliff thing. It reminded me of my trip to China years ago. 

CARGO Chinese Emporium

This guy was about $200. 

The pictures I took inside the store hardly represent what it really was like. It was cluttered & filled with all sorts of asian stuff. There were furniture, vases, sculptures, statues, doors, fake plants, accessories etcetcetc. Most were vintage . . & they definitely smelled vintage. It was funky LOL.

We also went to 2 Goodwill's but I didn't find anything. I was way too tired to treasure hunt XD. 

They were nicely organized, had ok items & didn't really smell.

Thrift shops in Van should be ashamed of themselves. You suck. You smell & literally sell vintage, bad quality clothing for $50. Wtf I wouldn't take that clothing if you gave it to me for free. 

~~This post feels like it's all over the place. I can't express myself ahah so I gave up halfway. Pictures can speak for themselves ^^

Anyway, FINALLY I posted this! Being the lazy ass I am, I left this post for weeks, too lazy to edit the pictures. I'm halfway through summer school as well, & I start volunteer on Monday . . But tonight I get to see fireworks? yeyeyeye bye
