smokey sunset

 

This beautiful sunset caught my eye... the sun was so orange! :O

lipsticks

 

I have a hoarding problem :O... I had no idea I had so many unopened lipsticks... and this is only a partial of my collection :O :O :O

Humpty Dumpty cheese sticks

 

Ever so often, I crave these Humpty Dumpty Cheese Sticks, these are the Canadian version of "Cheetos" :) The cheese tastes closer to real cheese than Cheetos :)

Duolingo turns pretty

 

Duolingo puts on makeup :P

wildfire smoke and the moon

 

The moon looks pretty because there is a "smoke" filter...

huge McD's ice cream

 

Is it me, or are their ice creams getting bigger and bigger? :) I'm not complaining though :P I can't believe I finished it :D

our poor air quality

 

I stepped out of the house and the air was filled with smoke... :(

We made it to the top 5 worst air quality cities of the world :(

wildfire smoke and the sun

 

Look what the wildfire smoke did to our beautiful sky and sun :O :O :O

It has been a while since I last heard about Pink Stuff, and I'm amazed at how they have expanded! :O :O :O

Rocktrumpet

 

This really pretty flower caught my eye... it is the Rocktrumpet :)

sidewalk chalk

 

This isn't as easy to see in the photo as I thought it would be... but this was for a fun-raiser with corny ice cream jokes.

pizza hut tonight :)

 

I didn't think I would like Pizza Hut's Pepperoni pizza as much as I thought I would :) They know how to do pizza :) yum!

tiny bus shelter

 

This is the smallest bus shelter I have ever seen... why didn't they make it a bit bigger? it isn't like they didn't have space or anything... 

Canadian geese

 These 3 Canadian Geese decided to take a stroll in the middle of the road! They were very nonchalant 😆 just enjoying their stroll :P

pretty summer flowers

 

Here are some pictures of flowers I found fascinating during my walks :)

my facial mist collection

 There are a few more I couldn't include in this picture... but this pretty summarizes what I have and use :)

I love rings

Here are a few I bought this week <3

 I love stacking rings :) and of course... also rings that are not stackable :)

Buster Baxter draws his friends

 

I took these screenshots from the Arthur episode “Framed” (Season 17, Episode 9). It’s one of my all-time favourites—about being an artist and staying true to your creativity.

This drawing of Arthur is one of my favourites from Buster. He sketches Arthur as transparent, with a big heart—such a thoughtful way to capture who Arthur really is.

I also love this portrait of Francine, but Arthur’s still wins my heart. ❤️ 

I wish I had Buster’s creativity—his ability to see people so clearly and translate that into art is truly something special.

baked Portuguese chicken with rice

 

I haven't had proper Hong Kong food in so long!! And I'm glad I ordered this today (was craving this: Baked Portuguese chicken with rice all day!). 

There was more chicken than rice and I like it that way <3 <3 <3

meat

 

I discovered certain herbs, and it is making me cook more meat :)

McD's ice cream

 

I started ordering more and more McD's ice cream >__< it tastes good... but I'm hoping it won't cause any signficant weight gain >_____<

club sandwich

 

I haven't had a HK-style club sandwich in a very long time... I almost forgot how good they taste <3

clouds and sky

 

this view of the sky caught my eye <3

enjoy sitting

 

I like how a neighbour decided to leave a tree stump for us to sit on :)

GoodNotes no more

Once my go-to for digital note-taking, GoodNotes used to be everything I needed—clean, efficient, and intuitive. I loved it so much I nearly bought the full version when it was still a one-time purchase.

(click here for my full review and ranting!!)

But after their big update, everything changed. They swapped the one-time payment for a subscription model, added confusing version tiers, and overloaded the app with flashy AI tools and a math solver. Instead of improving the experience, it left me overwhelmed and frustrated.

The simple, thoughtful interface was replaced by clutter. I haven’t opened the app since.

I thought I found my perfect creative space—turns out, I haven’t. So here I am, back on the hunt for a simple, no-frills note-taking app where I can let my ideas flow without getting lost in features I didn’t ask for.

Goodbye, GoodNotes. Sometimes less really is more.
RIP GoodNotes.
