first love never die



How did I only just recently hear this song even though it came out in 2011??? I've been listening to this a lot lately and it's just so beautiful :-)

reading break: cafes, art gallery, etc

Haven't made a post in ages!!! It's currently reading break (well the end of reading break sadly). February has passed by so quickly so far. I'm going to try to start from where I left off in my last post or w/e

So I wrote my math midterm and I didn't do as well as I had hoped. I mean I was still above class average but my mark is so terrible..... I should have caught up on math this reading break but I totally didn't and I have another midterm coming up in the beginning of march. I'm super stressed about that because I really have to do well on it or else I will have to rely on my final and I feel like for math, the final is always so much harder :-( I also wrote my physics midterm before reading break and I think that went alright. I haven't gotten my mark for it yet so we'll see!

So on tuesday I went to a cafe with madalene and then we went to the art gallery. We went to a cute lil place called Soirette (it's in the coal harbour area). I didn't take a pic of the interior but it was a pretty small place (it only had 4 small tables) but luckily there were very few people so we got a seat.


I got the vanilla cream latte which was really yummy and my friend got hot chocolate. We also got 6 macarons (I got lavender, caffe mocha, and passionfruit and my friend got lavender, mint chocolate and black tea lemon). I think my favourite was the lavender and I was kinda sad because there weren't that many to choose from when we were ordering but after purchasing our macarons and sitting down, they restocked and had a lot more flavours!!! They also put out a rose flavour one that looked so cute *sigh*

We went to Michaels the craft store to look around and I took a couple pics


Oohh we went to foot locker afterwards and I FINALLY got the nike air force 1s!!! I got the low ones in white and I'm so excited. Well, I had to order them because they didnt have the white ones in my size but I've been wanting these forever now!!! Better late than never right?? I feel like I'm super late on the trend or something haha but oh well....... maybe I should hop onto the adidas superstar trend next.

Afterwards we went to the vancouver art gallery since on tuesdays the admission is by donation. I don't think I'd gone to the art gallery since elementary school! This place is a lot bigger than I remembered it to be haha. Anyway here r some pics!!!

I took these with the sheer purpose of quoting blank space by taylor swift

On wednesday madalene and I went to the oak + fort warehouse sale. It was located in such a weird location - in some sketchy little building in the middle of a long road full of autobody shops and such. I didn't find too many things that I really liked. I ended up getting a super light (almost white) denim jacket for $40 (originally $128!!!). There was a black coat that I wanted but it was $120 (orig $248) but since I got to the nikes the day before I didn't want to spend too much. I haven't taken a pic of my jacket yet but maybe I'll do that another day.

I realized soon after that the location of the warehouse sale on the block next to a sign I wanted to take a pic of (at the catriona jeffries gallery) that reads "stay away from lonely places"


After that we went to gastown and we went to a coffee shop called Revolver. I got a macchiato and madalene got a hot chocolate. It's a really nice independent coffee shop that does things traditionally.


And also look at this black building in gastown haha, I love it


That's about it!!! Now I must study and catch up on all the stuff I should have caught up on throughout this reading break u_u bye!!!
