maman, je t’aime !.

my mom & sister are finally coming to visit me in Toronto next week, June 28th! it was really sad to say goodbye to my mom. whenever i would talk to her about moving to Toronto for university, it’s like she wouldn’t pay attention or listen. maybe she was just trying to avoid facing the situation in a way. she’s always told my sister and i that we’re the most beautiful thing she has in life, and that we’re her reason to live. we’ve always been really close. although things kind of changed a bit when her and my dad got separated last Christmas, she moved out while my sister and i stayed with my dad, so we haven’t spent as much time together, still, i love my mom, she’s amazing and i can’t wait to see her.

as you’ve probably noticed if you follow me on twitter, i’ve got a love affair with food. and so does my mom, and my sister too. so i’m excited for when they visit just so i can bring them to all these cool restaurants that i’ve been to so far. not that i eat out everyday, but i enjoy finding out about awesome restaurants (which excludes fast food places).

there’s this one all you can eat sushi place on Queen street called Aji Sai, honestly the best all you can eat place that i’ve been to in my life. because you know.. usually “all you can eat” places tend to suit the “you get what you pay for” say. but the food is actually amazing for the price, it’s around 14$ for lunch, and 22$ for dinner. and their menu isn’t all sushi, but also has all kind of other asian dishes.

then there’s my absolute favorite restaurant so far called Chi-Ko-Roo on Church Street. it isn’t that expensive either, and yet the food is amazing, so is the service and the place itself, very modern looking. oh, and the plates are huge! so you can take the leftovers to go, and pretty much get a second meal out of it! their menu has tons of tasty and healthy food. and they serve you free bread with three different amazing dips. one is hummus, and i think another one is this one Asiago Garlic Artichoke dip. OH, and they’ve got the best Sweet Potato fries i’ve had… so yeah, if you’re ever in the area. you should go! and maybe i’ll bump into you. okay no.. i don’t actually go that often!

my sister also really wants to go to Canada’s Wonderland (Some kind of a Six Flags style attraction park), so we might go there too. i haven’t been in so long..

and that picture on top of the post is of my mom and i, i have no idea how old i was.. but it’s definitely one of my favorite pictures of the two of us!

How cute! You were so blond! hahha I used to have blond hair when I was younger but suddenly my hair turned to dark brown, almost black. Oh, I love Toronto so much. The time I was there, I tried to experiment all kinds of restaurants. Chinese, japanese (also fast food). I miss it so much, the winter, cheap clothes. Not so much the food, because if we are going to compare, food here in general (brazil) are almost half of the price there. But id absolutely live there. Theres a restaurant, 2200 Yonge Street, near hansa english school, mandarin i think. I enjoyed so much when I went to eat there. You should try it.

Ok, here I go to buy a new television. Bye-Bye.

I’ve lived in Toronto my entire life and I have been to both of those resturants. I don’t go frequently, but i have to admit, they are very good :)

And you should go to Canada’s Wonderland for sure :) One of my favorite places to go. but be careful, the lines can get crazy long depending on the weather.

Ahh, you’re back I see. (: I just read this post and the previous one. So I’ll just comment on both of them. To start it off.. I’m extremely happy to know that the whole moving situation went well. Its not always easy moving, let alone countries. But hey, turned out to be worth it huh? I’m glad that you’re just about settled in with your apartment, job, and people. That food looks amazing.. Too bad I don’t like sushi, lol. But yeah, wish you the best of luck with everything. You look adorable, btw. :D

Friday, 25. June 2010 um 4:38 AM Uhr

I did a project in language arts well powerpoint and it was on where you would go on your dream vacation and somewhere you haven’t gone and somewhere you really wanted to go. And I picked Toronto, Canada. And I found for the amusement parks that the Wonderland amusement park that it has alot of rides and I put pictures of it and it was amazingly awesome looking but I wouldn’t ever ride that ride it was like really high up and like there was like water or something under I would be too afraid to fall off that high up….. You probably don’t even care haha…. Did you dye your hair? Because you have black hair now and you use to have blonde/brown hair or did or um in that picture you did….

Friday, 25. June 2010 um 10:12 AM Uhr

own, oh my god, is you??

you was (are too) so cute, mt best friend has a blond hair too, but now he is like me( with brown hair).

And I’m the one who told her about you! It pisses me off that she thinks she knows more about you than I do when she didn’t even know about you! and shes like u didn’t know he sings!??!?! It’s not like your a singer…..and

Monday, 28. June 2010 um 6:27 PM Uhr

Those restaurants you mentioned? love them! :D
i’ve been in Toronto almost my whole life, and its great here i love it! Definitely go to Wonderland (i’m a sucker for rollercoasters, love them!) try The Bat, it goes upside down twice, and then backwards!!!
if you don’t mind me saying, try going to the Distillery District, it has cobblestone streets and really cool old buildings that are AMAZING for photoshoots, and there’s live music sometimes and great food, there’s one place there you would LOVE called ‘a taste of Quebec’sometimes i imagine getting a loft in the distillery district, it’d be so cool!!!! anyway, i brought my camera, my friend, some clothes, and my bass guitar down there the other day, and i haven’t developed the photos yet but i have a feeling they are gonna turn out great!!
hope you read this, i guarantee you’ll love the distillery!!!
luv,

Oh yeah, you should go to Grand bend beach for sure. It’s like… a 2 hour drive from toronto but it’s worth it cause the beach is really nice. And you get used to the fact that your swimming in a lake (huron) as opposed to the ocean. You should look it up. Grand bend, Ontario.

Do you think there really is much difference between NYC and Toronto??
I’m hoping to move over there and it’d really be of help if you could let me know what you think about life in toronto and NYC C:

Much Love,

hey alex!
can i suggest a good restruant? Cause this one is amazing! It’s called spadina gardens and it is a chinese food place located on 144 dundas street toronto.
if you go there get the honey garlic shrimp or the crispy ginger beef. Thoose are my favourites!

here’s the site’s link: http://www.spadinagarden.com/ourmenu.html

hope you enjoy!

Probably, people told you yet, but… I just need to.
You were so damn cute! I mean, all kids are cute, obviously, but… you were like a puppet, weren’t you?
And your hands! Oh, i love hands… I have a passion with hands <3 <3 <3…
Anyway…
I'm happy knowing that you and your mother are so close. My mom and i are so close, too, in a way that normal people don't understand… But i don't care 'cause i love my mom… We're important for each other, and that's enough.
Abou food, well… I like food… except asian food 'cause… i don't know really…but…it doesn't inspire me…
But…i can try, if i'll go to toronto, one day…

Friday, 9. July 2010 um 2:48 PM Uhr

Awwe :)
I’m glad you, your mom and your sister are going to spend some time together ? :)

Saturday, 10. July 2010 um 9:31 AM Uhr

That picture with your mom is cute. She’s so pretty and you’re adorable.
I’m glad everything is going great for you in Toronto. :) When are we going to get a glimpse of your apartment? (Sorry. That sounds slightly stalker-ish. Ha. I live in France so it’ not like I’m going to show up on your doorstep and be all like “…heeeeey. Yo, what’s up?” – cue to awkward silence.) You said you were going to post some…
Also, I’ve been to Wonderland when I went to visit my family in Toronto. I went there in 2004 so it probably has changed a lot but I remember it being really fun. Although it’s very crowded in the summer.
Thanks for making me hungry with all your food shots. Really. The last time I saw something as beautiful as that was in Japan when I went there on holiday with a friend. Shame on you. Now I’m going to be all depressed because the best thing I can probably come up with in the kitchen is a mediocre bowl of fried rice (and I’m not even sure I’ve got enough food for that. Meh.)

What a precious picture of you and your mom (The blonde’s a great look) Hope you had a nice time with your mom and sister; it’s crazy how time goes by so fast!

Those food pictures had my mouth watering a little. I would deeply consider quitting university and instead photograph food! (Entirely joking)

Okay…so there really is no way to make this not sound random. But long story short, I’m a writer…oh wait…uh…that doesn’t make the story any shorter. Okay well, anyways, to the almost complete beginning of what I was trying to tell you. I was on Facebook. My friend showed me the ‘Pieces of Flair’ app, or game, or whatever it’s called. And since I actually have a book character named ‘Alex’, I was wondering what would happen if I searched the name ‘Alex’ on ‘Pieces of Flair’ and just so happened to stumble on a picture of you (its kinda funny using the word ‘stumble’ lol…I don’t think you really can stumble on something electronic and totally nonexistent in the real world…it would be kinda weird and totally random if you could)… ANYways so I was thinking ‘hey, this kid looks almost exactly like my book character!!!’ (please don’t take offense to the whole ‘kid’ thing)…I call almost everyone ‘kid’…which is kind of funny since I’m sixteen years old and most people are older than me…well in age usually…anyways, getting off subject here (which I have a tendency to do a lot). So I tried to figure out who you were and here we are now. Wow. That was a long story. Sure, I suppose it would have helped if I didn’t keep trailing off randomly…which for me is almost an impossibility. anyways, you seriously look almost exactly like my book character and have the same name as him. Interesting…and a little weird (But in a good way).
But anyways, my name’s Coral :D (And wow, I never realized how much I say ‘anyways’…I need a new word).
So…that’s pretty much it…well, at least as to why I randomly started talking to you. That, and I think you’re blog is pretty interesting (I ended up reading a lot of your past posts today lol). Also your photos are artistically really cool :P :D (Sorry for the long comment by the way. I usually prefer to write as closely to how I talk in real life as I can) so yeah…anyways…
so…I’ll maybe talk to you soon?

right now i’m vacationing in korea, currently in seoul, and i haven’t had one type of food here that i don’t like.
but then again…i’ve grown up with korean food and american food since i’m half korean, so maybe i’m just used to it?
