ISLAND LIFE - PART 3




on gabriola island, there is a farmers market
held on saturday mornings.

my friend is obsessed with this bread stick that is stuffed with feta and sun-dried tomatoes.
so naturally, our first stop at the farmers market was 
the slow rise bakery stand.

there we bought 5 sticks of this feta/sun-dried tomato bread, 
and just for kicks we got a pumpkin/white-choco/raison scone.

after taking a stroll around the market, we quickly booked it to this beach and dug into this scrumptious bread.

my friend is right, this bread is definitely one of a kind.
(the scone was delicious too)

after heading back home, we decided that we will attempt to make this feta/sun-dried tomato bread by the end of this summer!

hopefully it won't be some catastrophic disaster.

stay tuned...

ISLAND LIFE - PART 2

1. this is an alpaca
2. sunset at it's prime
3. two hooligans on a rock
4. dreary eerie morning
5. abstract?
6. bff's?

is it true that the older you get, 
the faster that time goes by?

this summer has literally been slipping 
through the ends of my fingertips.
i can't seem to get a grasp on it.

it's making me realize how fast-lived our lives our.
we are just like water particles running down a river bank;
there's no stopping us.

i fear that one day i’ll get old and
realize that there were more things that
i should have done, should have seen, or should have said.

so i guess all i can do right now
is make the most out of each day.
-learn and grow.
-enjoy and savour.
-laugh and smile.

ISLAND LIFE - PART 1

1. coolest lamp i've ever laid my eyes upon
2. nothing better than some german yodeling
3. thrifting at it's finest
4. look at that fine view
5. dayum

i went to my friends cabin on gabriola island again this summer.

this little island is packed with a ton of mesmerizing views and quirky attractions.

what we did:

-we took embarrassing videos of us dancing hcore 
and squashing spiders (how cruel of us)

-we went to this recycle depot and found 
heels and booties for $1!! (best day ever)
and i got memoirs of a geisha for $0.50!! (p.s. great book)

-we had a lovely quinoa dinner by the ocean accompanied by some bumping tunes

-we strolled along the beach with this random kitty-cat on a rainy morning and sang low by flo rider in a 
very obnoxious manner

-we took a 2 hour nap just because we could

-we visited some alpaca's and miniature horses

-we watched our fav movie he's just not that into you for the bagillionth time and went gaga over 
ben affleck and jennifer aniston


it was nice being able to get away from the city
with my hommie, and spend a carefree weekend not having to worry about work.

"sometimes the bestest of things, 
comes from the bestest of places." 
-some random kook

:)

more to come!
