Toronto Happenings – UNO

Planning on checking this out tomorrow night. If you’re in Toronto and you’re a fan of street art, come check it out. free admission… tacos… good musak….and art… what more could you ask for??

This event reminds me of all the street art i saw on my recent trip to Chile, which was one of three things I saw everywhere during my brief stay in Santiago & Valparaiso, along with stray dogs (heartbreaking!) and couples making out. no joke. it was such a common sight to see couples in a passionate embrace or lying on top of eachother in parks. at first the extreme PDA  made me uncomfortable, and then i realized i was just jealous. hah.

Here some photos of the street art i took in Chile. the trip was incredible by the way. my first time in South America and it definitely did not disappoint. look forward to going back someday…

     

i wasn’t exaggerating about the making out……

Happiness Tip

Ola from Chile!

A little happiness tip… in case you need a reminder.

I may not have completely found the ‘what’ and the ‘who’ yet but isn’t the search half the fun? well for me it is anyway…

be happy, my friends. it’s a short life and there’s no better way to live. (and if you aren’t happy, don’t ever give up on the search) xoxo

Bucket List Item #3

Okay so my 29th year bucket list hasn’t really been seeing as much action as I’d hoped.

I’d had these grandiose plans to make this an unforgettable year full of memories and new experiences but yet, I find myself stuck in the same cycle every week. dinners, social drinking and the occasional club/birthday event here and there. It’s been fun but it’s the same type of fun I’ve been having for the past 10 years. Its not that I want to stop doing all those things (I cherish those memories as well) but this year, especially, I wanted to focus on travelling, expanding my cultural interests, being adventurous and yeah, maybe even get caught up in a whirl-wind, passionate fling and do foolish things in the fleeting name of youth and romance.

Have I ever told you that I’m what some might call, a romantic-realist? an oxymoron if there ever was one.

I may not want to fall in love right now but I wouldn’t mind taking a temporary stumble. Dating casually can be fun but after awhile you realize that it’s not fulfilling. Committing to a relationship, on the other hand, signifies something far more serious than I’m ready for and so I’m stuck in a kind of dating purgatory; wanting to feel a real connection with someone without having all the expectations, pressures and obligations that come along with making something ‘official’. I just shuddered. I feel like the hyena’s in Lion King when they freak out at the sound of Mufasa’s name.

‘Oooh say it again.’

‘Official’

‘Oooooooh!’

Ugh. 

Too many half-written drafts. Instead of inspiring, the beautiful weather has only been distracting me. 

Tell me a story.

Art, Music, The Creatives

it was all a dream

Oldschool hiphop reminds me of my childhood. my teen years driving around town in my mom’s black Jimmy with my bestfriend in the passenger street, windows rolled down, music turned way up.

It reminds me of summer days and an era of no responsibilities. Nothing will bring me back to my youth as much as oldschool hiphop does.

I won’t hate on todays music. Music today is undeniably catchy although in my opinion, lacks soul and depth. It still makes me want to dance, makes me want to turn it up loud though. So I won’t hate on it. Today’s music is this generations classics.

But man, am I ever grateful that I grew up in the era of tupac, nasir jones and of course, biggie. those are my classics and nothing will ever change that.

…….You know very well who you are Don’t let em hold you down Reach for the stars……..
