Wedding bells

Time seems to be flying! April and May passed by so quickly, i felt like i had no time for anything!

One of my good friends, of whom i've known for 10+ years got married to her sweetheart recently. It was a beautiful wedding, and of course i cried like a baby. Happy tears of course.

Sporting Life 10k Marathon

My first marathon ever! I'm so happy my friend convinced me to join. Now i find running to be very enjoyable. I've been jogging everyday at the park and i'm glad i didn't call it quits yet.

This marathon is supporting Camp Oochigeas for kids with cancer. I'm glad it's going to such a good cause.

Parajumpers- Gobi Review

Sorry i know this is a bad time posting this review up seeing as it's so warm outside, but i got this jacket about 2 weeks ago after wanting it for so long, i finally caved.

Remember when Canada Goose was the most popular jacket out there, i wanted one but didn't get one. Then i discovered Nobis and Moose knuckles, and i thought OMG i want a moose knuckle jacket! Those pom poms are too cute!

But then this year ( i know, i am a bit out of the loop), i discovered Parajumpers, and i thought you know what, forget about the rest! I want myself a Parajumpers jacket!!!!

But the funny thing is that it wasn't the design or the brand or how warm it is that got me, it was their signature yellow strap at the back of the jacket, and the hook on the front! It's designed to supposed to look like a parachute will come out. And you know, i always dreamed of sky diving, so for now i can dream a little.

Please excuse the non matchie loose fabric sticking out, it was not a photoshoot type of day.

I was debating over whether to get the red one or the black one, but since it was their last red i felt like it had to be mine.

The hood itself can split open, so you can wear it like you have a giant furry collar, but that look doesn't look good on me since i'm such a short person, it sort of looks like the jacket is trying to swallow me whole. So i keep it zipped up.

There's all sorts of pockets everywhere on this jacket

 There's my parachute hook! It hooks on to the other side for extra warmth around the neck area, and all you have to do is pull on the yellow strap to release. Easy as pie.

There's my parachute release strap haha. This was the part that caught my eye the most =D

There's also pockets on the arms and lookie a cute little elbow patch =)

The Parajumpers logo. The previous year jackets had this badge removable, i don't know why they would do that since people can easily steal it and sell it for $30 (yup, people actually buy them). This one is sewn on, so i won't have to worry about it falling off or being torn off by someone, they also gave me an extra patch because they were so nice =)

The fur is made with Rabit fur and fox fur (or was it racoon...) it's super soft and extra warm and cuddly. Don't worry, no animals were harmed during the making, they made sure to state that in the booklet provided. All the fur trimmings as well as the buckles are all removable for easy wash.

Overall i love this Gobi jacket. It keeps me super warm and toasty. And it's a classic bomber jacket type, so i can wear it over and over and over and it will never get old.

I bought this jacket at JCY house after my size was sold out everywhere. 

Original price for this jacket is $998 before taxes, they sold it to me for $925 after taxes. DEAL!

My jacket is size XXS, which i was really surprised about because i thought i need an XS or a small but the sizes run pretty big, and i'm so happy they had this last one at JCY house because i know for sure that if i go to Sporting Life, they wouldn't ever carry a size XXS let alone a red one!

I was planning on buying this next year since winter is ending and it was so expensive but the sales lady was so good at what she does i gave in. I don't regret it though, $925 is a good price compared to $1127 after taxes.

February Round Up!

Hey everyone. I know I haven't been posting as much as before, I think it's because I haven't been taking a lot of pictures with my camera for a while and everything now is taken with my phone. And then I forget them and they just start accumulating and then I think "oh darn" too many pictures now, where do I start?!
Here are some from this month

Valentine's Day, the mister picked me up from work and we walked around before getting ready for dinner.

I'm happy to know that i still fit into a kid's wagon =D

After he dropped me home so i can change while he said he had to go "pick up something".
He came back surprising me with a huge bouquet of blue roses and a giant floating hello kitty balloon. Aww! I loved it! I was always saying all these years that i really wanted balloons for my birthdays, and i guess he remembered on valentine's day =D
I give him points for remembering i like balloons.

I felt really bad, because all i made him were cheesecake cupcakes from scratch. It was my first time making them so i didn't even know if they tasted good.

For Valentine's dinner, he took me to an Italian Restaurant called "Fraticelli's Italian Grill & Lounge", It was a very popular and busy place that apparently won an award. There were line ups at the door all night, and we stayed pretty late too.

I hate that we always forget to take a picture together.

After dinner he also gave me this House of Harlow necklace that i wanted really badly. I almost forgot about it. I love it! I know everyone owns this thing already, but i love it!

Last week, i finally got to go snowboarding at Blue mountain. We always go at least once a year. It was a really nice day though, the snow wasn't as icy and it wasn't unbearably cold.

After all that fun and exercise, we stopped by East side Mario's for a nice hot dinner. Servers in Collingwood are so much nicer and well mannered than those in Toronto. Housing is cheaper too! Hmmm

Warm bodies

I saw warm bodies over the weekend and I LOVED it!!!
At first i thought all i was going to see were blood and gore and a hot zombie, but i thought the movie was very well done. It's funny, it's witty and it's romantic. I love the humour!
When can you ever find a comedy/romance/horror?

Now i'm starting to read the book. Books are always better than movies, i'm ecstatic!
