black friday

i've been abusing my poor wallet a little too much lately... and i've tried to be a good girl and give it much needed rest. christmas is coming and i need to think of others, even though my favorite person (insert: me) is most deserving ;)

anyways. i would like to thank all the canadian shops that are offering me so many good deals to prevent us from going south of the border...

i would also like to curse you for testing my weak will power via e-mail deals...

on a similar note... i heard a customer used pepper spray at Wal-Mart in the US in a shopping frenzy. whoa?

dd weekend...

i know i've been lazy w updating, but did you really think i'd forget to update about my duran duran weekend?

the road trip w jen (my road dog!) was good... we listened to 190 dd songs on shuffle to prepare for the concert... and i drank a million red bulls and ate the best chocolate bar ever (mint 3 Musketeers!!)

we got to Windsor in the early evening and decided to go to Caesar's Palace casino early to engage in some buffet action... but the line up was 103294804958309485 people deep, so we settled on Nathan's hot dogs (that didn't settle quite right?! :S)

the main reason for the trip:





awesome concert, as per usual. simon was in rare form... my highlights:

• The Man Who Stole a Leopard
• Leave a Light On
  
• Wild Boys
  

and i took my first iPhone video! Come Undone...



so excited because i get to do it all over again tomorrow... :D

iphone 4

iphone 4 loser line up. ok, they aren't losers... that's mean. let me re-phrase... they are people with poor time management skills. yes?

it's just a phone... can't you wait a few weeks or whatever...? i'm pretty sure they were there for hours.

i'd wait in line for a rollercoaster... or pizza... or... concert tickets... but not a phone. then again, i used a razer until it wasn't "cool" anymore. meh. i just need the ability to make and receive phone calls. i'm not a tech person.

i love pizza.

if my feet could only be so lucky...

... and they are!

i am sharing my new obsession with you... Kurt Geiger. i don't think my feet will ever be the same.

i don't know what else i can say, so go see for yourself!

Stinky!

saturday was a great day... walking up and down Queen West with the Trini... she got the skirt she's been wanting and i got my American Apparel fix (cross back mesh bras!)

but geez... i hope those garbage dudes go back to work for the sake of everyone living in the GTA... stinky!

Bad killa

i hurt my wallet today.

-Stuart Weitzman yellow patent cut out sandals
-Bebe acid wash skinny jeans
-AA colour blocked leggings
-AA watercolour leggings (from "I Want" post below)

bad killa, very bad.

*slaps wrist*

Sample Saaaaaaleeee!!!

i dunno about you... but i love clothes. even better? clothes on sale! it's the holidays again and i wanna spoil myself AND the people around me... so why not ditch the mall and come out to the Offshoot sample sale. streetwear for up to 70% off? $10 section? Mixtape Massacre? do you REALLY NEED anymore reasons?

oh yeah... i'll be there too... another good reason.

cash is king, so leave your credit at home boys & girls!!!

Pacific Mall!

i'm sure everyone from around the GTA is familiar with Pacific Mall, located in Markham at the accident prone intersection of Kennedy/Steeles. it's a place where you can get by without speaking a word of English... which does not come in handy when you don't speak Chinese (i.e me). i ventured out there with my cousin the other day, as i was in the mood to do some bargaining and pay with cash (no tax! ;)

anyways... some pictures of the day's finds...



i walked in hungry and wanted to nibble on something as i walked around... so i headed over to one of the snack shops. i have to admit, i have a weakness for asian snacks (except for those pickled/preserved fruits... ew) haha... i settled on these. they are Japanese corn snacks (think crunchy Cheetos, only no cheese. replace with various asian inspired flavours... squid, wasabi, bbq'd corn... yeah i dunno)

an advertisment outside a lingerie shop... it's like she's saying, "WOW! Cleavage!!!". i secretly say the same thing when i find a good bra. hahaha

these are weird... there was a store that had a whole window display of them. they are little stuffed dogs that are sleeping in baskets... but you can see their little bodies rise and fall, as if they are breathing :S um... why don't you just GET A REAL DOG?

damn... Cash Money just made it everywhere, didn't they? ha.

so the snacks held me over until i really had to get down to business. walking around the food court is always a little daunting for me because i'm still a little squeamish with some of the more... lets call them... ethnic varities (i am not a hit at the family parties). gimme a break, i still ask for a fork when i go to Chinese restaurants :(

Standouts:

-Pork Tripe w/ Sweet N Sour Preserved Vegetable

-Squeezed Cold Pork Ear (ok, i don't even know where to start with that one)

-Deep Fried Fish Skin

-Intestine w/ Chiu Chow Soy Sauce (ok, i like soy sauce... hahaha)

-Curry Duck Gizzard

(ok, just click the picture above for more detail, bleeruurghhh)

"You're Fuckin' Lazy, I'm Fuckin' Busy..."

well said?!?!

a condom wholesaler in the mall... great... now you know where to buy 'em in bulk... for... nevermind.
