subway

 

There was a point in my life where I had Subway EVERY.DAY. (That's because that was the only option available on my side of campus... 😂 )... I decided to order from Subway today and ... nostalgia hit me... <3 I almost forgot how much I liked it.

McCafe The Grinch Dr Seuss cups

 

These cups are so cute! I didn't know they were offering Dr. Seuss/The Grinch cups this season. I don't know how many there are,  these three are so cute <3

pillow plushies

 these are cute, but I prefer traditional stuff animals

Timbits

 

It doesn't get more Canadian than this :P... I haven't had Timbits in a very long time (it has been almost ... 5 years! :O) The chocolate ones are still my favourite! :D

I found Arthur as a plushie :O... I didn't know he had his own plushie :)

There's a huge pinecone inside this Christmas piece :)

heated bus stops

 

I haven't ridden on a bus in a long time... and to my surprise, these new bus stops have heaters installed! It was very warm and toasty <3

Today I Learned... Pinecones

 

closed vs open pinecones

Today I learned the difference between open and closed pinecones.

By default, they are open, but when wet, they close to protect the seeds inside).

I picked up the opened ones (ones on the right) yesterday when it was bright and sunny, and the closed ones today, after a huge rainstorm. I was curious when I saw that they all closed today, and after an observation and a quick Google search (to confirm my observation), they close when it is wet and cold.

These pinecones have a mind of their own :O

Kimchi and Cheese Rice Balls

I've been craving hot and spicy foods during this winter season... and this is one of the things I really like

 

before this, I didn't know Koreans had rice balls like Japanese onigiri

Unfortunately, the cheese is not chewy or stringy... it is just... normal. cheese. :(

This is the brand, for anyone interested :)

Christmas decorations

 

These snowmen are so cute <3

different eggs

 

I couldn't help but notice how elongated and pointy this egg is. (It wasn't a double yolk but it sure looked like it could have been)

Colour Personality Test

 

I got yellow :)

These were the other possibilities available.

Out of all of these, I would not have guessed I'm "joy" 🤗

link to the colour personality test.

I just realized after taking the test that they only focus on 4 colours: Orange, Yellow, Green and Blue

my neighbour

 

This cutie didn't want me to leave... look at those sad puppy eyes O.o

natural beauty

 

no filter... I'm going to miss this scenery :(.... bye-bye... until next year :(

is it just me?

 

Is it just me or does this log formation remind you of Snoopy (or some dog)?

I was wondering what a dog was doing down there until I realized it wasn't a dog... it was just a bunch of random logs.

Hackberry

 

I have finally identified the source of the plum, berry scent in the air, it's from these Hackberry trees and their leaves <3

This is my favourite place of all the places I visited this season. I love the vibrance and the elements that make up this scenic view. It is vast. I do my morning devotions here <3
