Aluminum foil and perfectionists

 

Aluminum foil must be every perfectionist's worst nightmare... once you slightly ruin the perfect surface, it will never go back, no matter how hard you try ot iron it back... in fact the more you try the worse it becomes >____< hahaha

Yankee Candle air purifiers

 

Yankee Candle isn't as popular as it is in the US in Canada, so it took this long for me to get my hands on something "Yankee Candle". These air fresheners/purifiers are so pungent (but not overwhelming). I'm impressed :)

tulip trees

Last year, I learned there was a kind of tree called Tulip tree, because its leaves resemble the shape of a tulip, and this year, I learned that said tree produces flowers!?!??! :O :O :O

it's a bunniful day

 

I got to see a few bunnies today! :D They are so cute!

While "talking" to them, I realized what you can say to a bunny can't be said to a human. 

For example:

- Omigosh, you are so cute, come here and let me squeeze you

- you have such a cute butt <3

tonight's dinner, pizza hut

 

Pizza Hut's pizzas always taste so good <3 Their pepperoni pizza is so flavourful <3

And, because I'm in Canada, of course, I ordered a Canadian pizza <3 (Happy Canada Day Week!)

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

Today, I want to highlight one of my favourite Canadian Prime Ministers—Lester B. Pearson. If his name sounds familiar, it might be because Toronto’s international airport is named after him—and rightfully so!

Canadian Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson (1963 to 1968)

Pearson's contributions to Canada were not only impactful but also enduring. When people think of Canada today, many associate us with universal healthcare, a strong social safety net, peacekeeping, and our iconic red and white maple leaf flag. Did you know that we can thank Lester B. Pearson for all of this?

Serving as Prime Minister from 1963 to 1968, Pearson led with diplomacy, vision, and pragmatism. His government introduced universal health care, the Canada Pension Plan, and student loan programs—all of which continue to shape the lives of Canadians today. Under his leadership, Canada also officially adopted the Maple Leaf flag in 1965, giving us a bold and unifying national symbol.

But his influence wasn’t just domestic. Before becoming Prime Minister, Pearson earned international recognition as a skilled diplomat. In fact, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for organizing the first United Nations peacekeeping force, helping to de-escalate the Suez Crisis. His efforts laid the foundation for Canada’s long-standing reputation as a peacekeeping nation.

Lester B. Pearson was a visionary who modernized Canada and helped shape the compassionate, inclusive identity we’re known for today. On this Canada Day, I’m especially grateful for his legacy.

🍁 Thank you, Mr. Pearson—for helping build the Canada we’re so proud to celebrate today! 🍁
