Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm














Last weekend I went to Montreal, Quebec for the weekend with one of my closest girlfriends to get away from Toronto just for a little bit. I packed Thursday evening and left right after work Friday afternoon. Getting to the bus terminal after work was a tad bit stressful because of the rush hour. I swear I almost didn't make it on time but since I went to another terminal - I caught the bus on time (Thank god). I finally met up with my girlfriend on the bus and we caught up with snacks and music. Though our seats were extremely uncomfortable (I think my neck was about to break during the entire 7 hours), I loved our bonding time. We were the first ones off the bus and hopped into a friend's car then headed to Tonic Nightclub. The next day we had lunch and spent the day in downtown Montreal and most of our time at Old Port. I was extremely upset that I didn't have my DSLR on me because Old Montreal was absolutely beautiful. There are some areas where it's so culturally-orientated - cobblestone, paintings, old statues... etc. Surprisingly, I bumped into a couple friends from Toronto when we were roaming around downtown. That night we decided to meet up with them and go to Muzique nightclub (amazing house music). The next day we visited family and had to go back to Old Montreal in the rain because we loved it so much. I'm hoping to go back during the wintertime when the city is covered in blankets of snow and visit my lovely new friends from Montreal.

 I can't wait any longer for my T1i.

Anticipation

 I hate getting bad news back from the doctor. Just hoping everything will be better soon (really really really...soon). Totally missed out on dinner with the co-workers - wish I had gone to hang out with everybody ugh. But I'm stuck at home cleaning and packing for Montreal tomorrow since I'm leaving literally right after work. It's going to be such an uncomfortable ride there but whateverrrr - don't care :) Yaung and I are taking one of those coach buses down there.. and helllll yuuuhhh, adventure is calling for us this weekend. I can't wait to be back in Montreal again. Hopefully they'll have cute little boutiques for me to shop in :) I wish the other girls were coming though b/c it would've been so fun (yes you Vee and Tee). On another note, my Steven Madden boots arrive tomorrow! WOO so excited.. but I don't even know if I'll get to see it before I leave for MTL haha. Honestly, I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas or something. I've been checking the mailbox across the field (cause Markham houses are wierd like that) everyday after work to see if my Swarovski necklaces have arrived yet.. Sadly, they haven't. Come faster please!
