Hello, lovely.
How’s your summer starting?
I hope you all love summer regardless of how hot and stuffy it can get. Living in a country with extra-long winter, I can say with confidence that I do.
That being said, I wanna share what I did in Toronto this may and June with both cheers and tears. There were some byes (and buys) and also some hi-s.
Unlike other months of my life, I ended up spending most of my Iife at home these two months, looking back, trying new hobbies under cool a/c.
Let me share them right away.
May
I watched this movie in the theatre.
I don’t know if you have seen the original movie because ver 2 seems to be for fans of the ver 1. All characters’ character seem to continue and overlap except that they got older (in a positive sense). I enjoyed the movie’s message besides that it brought some old memories.
I went to meet a friend after watching the movie. She was waiting in a Japanese cafe/ restaurant downtown area I’ve never been, so I lost ways to be late. We also had bingsu that was lovely. It’s funny that we both prepared pink tumblers for each other.
She’s only person very special to me. That was hi of the month that I mentioned in the beginning.
I also got my nails done, I almost forgot, in blue/indigo color that matched the fish tank nearby the nail shop place. So lovely and chrome nail stayed this time. #rebelnails
Everyone seemed to have lined up at this cafe for either mango sago drink or this one, grape and cheesefoam.
Not my personal favorite kind of taste but loved the interior design of cafe. It was well decorated about tea leafs.
You know I love following my mom to her shop to get my works done. (If you know, yo know)
I love socks that I wore this day. I think is nice color combo.
Q: Did i get my work done?
A: Yes, I think I did some intensive amount of crocheting that day.
I went to grocery shopping on a lazy Sunday with my mom and discovered galleria supermarket, the new one, has black pepper sauce that my friend needed. I will remember this and get that for her next time. If you are reading this and remember you said this, yes you are getting one.
On an exhausting day in my office, being hungry, I went to the lunch room and discovered a lovely work of my doctor’s patient.
i can tell she really put work into it and didn’t forget to share with neighbors. Thank you whoever did this. Best kim-bob ever.
this is first cafe I saw when I typed cafe Toronto on instagram. Lovely space with fountain and vinyl record display besides mentioning it’s unique wine glass.
their matcha was special with edible flower
it’s officially over with the who created and destroyed my 3 year emotional sand castle.
well… You know it hurts regardless of quality of chats we had or how bad or good the person behaved.
No guessing pls. Cuz it’s not what you think whatever you think.
as soon as I found myself after the bye part, I turned my hair to orange brown. Although it lasted shortly it elevated my mood for that week or two. I really loved the color although it de-dyed quickly.
I went to winners and found this coconut snack that was my favorite. It was not too sweet but very good, which is a usual compliment from a Korean about a snack
Also, I didn’t know chips o hoy come n chewy version. It reminded of me Sabrina carpenter’s song: house tour, which is top on the billboard.
I cooked my own pasta which add mussels and squid in them. Recipe from 1000 recipes (a Korean app) that taste spicy. My mom liked so did I.
June
my financial stability needs to be put to together after tax re-evaluation.
So I decided to do that but I don’t know how to control the urge to be happy. Mental hands up if you can relate.
I had my 1st proper acai bowl and it had too much pennut butter was too good. I guess a food can be tasty/healthy at the same time.
Did you know this place? It is Italian themed grocer and has many stuff normal supermarket does not have. I bought the cheese YouTubers had for the first time and some truffle oil.
after watching Billie’s movie that was really good and real-concert-like I felt like singing all these songs at karaoke
after a week of working, I had & bahn-mi by going out again. It created a lot of mess but was good.
I also went to shop at Zara and got that interesting denim shorts. I forgot and ignored my financial stability needs.
I got my SHEIN parcel but i kept only two sets of co-ords. Their quality seemed to be worsening due to cost price.
I suceeded in making a crochet square that is bigger for the first time. It is not even wabbly. So proud.
i misplaced my glasses and ordered proof kiths cuz it’s good price. I reed it often good quality. the bottom one fits my face shape better.

I went to grocery shopping cus I was really into cooking lately. My mom’s nice enough to let me buy the ingredients.
that’s what I made after shopping for grocery. My family really enjoyed them
I did a blue one while the red ones arrive cuz I ran out of yarn in the middle. Waiting for it desperately.
I bought an iPhone and a iPad at Walmart cuz my phone’s screen broke. First time using I stuff so… need some time to get used it.
I ate some pho after working at a very old looking viet restaurant. It was like I am at Vietnam.
I made this cape scarf thing out of the square. First project that is actually wearable. I connect many sqaures into one project, so it was not difficult.
I made a beat vest with blue squares. It is more satisfying than you think.
I bought this book from indigo and still reading it. I finished chapter 4. It is about game and philosophy. Very very authentic and interesting.
I went out for my lunch time and had nangmyun. It was very god.
I add a matcha latte to lunch and it was not sweet at all but it made me too full.
I got my nails and pedi done because my blue nail got too long. This time I went to a different nail shop. Satisfied with the result. I also got my pedi done in same kind of blue on the nail.
this is new cafe open and it is viral on instagram. Their mugwort latte is very good although their cake is pound cake.
I started the pink one and I did 3 hearts at the front in the nick of time. Wow. I really devoted my time to crocheting these two months.
it’s really calming especially after upsetting events in my life.
i cut my hair in bob again. It is kind of better looking although i planed to grow it long. I gave up after a terrible relationship end. It killed my motivation to look younger.
I am to beads as well. It looks like sky full of hobbies lately. I made a pill with letters and shapes.
I read the book that I mentioned earlier more. And made summaries with Apple Pencil and paraphrasing by typing it. love the mind-map design.
I also drew using a sketch app and it was very relaxing activity to forget less famous and not busy Sunday.

Summary
It’s finally summer and finally over for me and the villain of my heart and self-esteem. I can focus on hobby and calming my negative feelings not following the path to go down. Nothing’s not crazily not working at my work and my financial stability will better on its own in time, i know. Lovely days as long as I say it and occasional day out spending alone will drive me more enthusiastic. I learned to give up on areas I am not good at and work on areas that can change.
I hope you enjoyed the post and I will see you in 2 months when summer will be ready to leave.
with love,
From Jane
