First Camping Trip!

Yes! You did read correctly! My first camping trip ever!

Who did I share my first experience with? My best friend Melissa! It was her first time camping too which made it very interesting. Newbies lol

We ended up going somewhere fairly close by for a first time experience, just in case something would go terribly wrong. You never know what can happen to two females who have never went camping before.

Anyway's, to my surprise, we survived! I'm kidding! Besides, we aren't completely incompetent!

Besides, 2 days and 2 nights is nothing. Beginners!

Here are some pictures to show for a good time at Bronte Creek Provincial Park =)

The Sound Of Silence

Have you ever felt that your life was just a joke?
That no one took you seriously, or took you for granted?
... I feel like that everyday that I wake up... I can't help but feel that that way about my life, I've been given no reason to think differently...

One could say the world I would actually use describe the way I feel about my life is hatred.

Hello darkness, my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more

People talking without speaking

People hearing without listening

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dared

Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you"

But my words, like silent raindrops fell

And echoed

In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls"

And whispered in the sounds of silence

My heart is numb... I have never been so hurt in my life by someone before.. I had grown skin so thick that a knife would struggle to cut through. What happened? What changed? Where did that strong woman I once knew go? I wish she would show herself. I really need her now more then ever to get through this.

How could you have been so stupid to give your heart to someone again after you promised yourself not to. Not after the first time. You were stronger and smarter then that. What went wrong? Now look what happened, you went and got cut.

Where are all the bandages? There isn't any.

You can suffer now, you made your bed,now lay in it.

Let your guard down did you? Ah well, shit happens right? 

Your a fool. You really are.

C'est la vie

Okay so basically in the span of 2 weeks I've come to the realization people are disgusting, and that's being nice. Everyone is so money oriented that it has blinded them of how to be a compassionate human being, if there even is such a thing. With the exception of maybe a handful of people that I'm greatful enough to know or have in my life. 

I remember mentioning last post about my foot being broken and all. Now currently I am working two jobs, a weekday and weekend job. I have been pushing myself  through the weekday job but have decided to not work the weekend one. Mainly because it is a whole lot harder for me to move around and carry out tasks. The weekday job however I have been managing pretty well given the circumstances. I work with complete cunts. I'm sorry, that's rude of me and completely uncalled for ... NOT!

You come to realize that if you aren't bringing in money for someone you might as well be considered dead. People don't phone you to see how your doing or how your managing. They call to ask when your coming back to work cause there is clients who want to book, or calling to ask things of you like agency workers to cover you. Like seriously? F off! 

Don't even get me started on the clinic I work for on the weekday! Pushing 7 clients on me in a row without a break! My foot is broken you moron! Here, let me break your foot and give you 7 clients to treat, let's see how you handle it... I'm technically not even supposed to be working. Not for 6 weeks. I went back to work the second week. Maybe I'm the retard but still. Not to mention she makes me crutch all the way to the front to grab the file and the client... Like I can do that at lightning speed anymore. What a *****! 

Did I mention these are all WOMEN?! Spineless, ruthless B*****! Argh!!

Anyways c'est la vie right? What can you do when the world you live in is based on how much money you can milk.

Lets change the topic to something positive shall we? I'm going camping for the first time in my life!  Woohoo! The date is set already, August 9th-11th. I know, only 2 nights, but it's a first. Baby steps right? My main concern is being eaten alive by Mosquitos, contracting west Nile or Lyme disease, or perhaps being mauled to death by a bear.... Good times... All normal fears right? Insect repellant apparent doesn't work as it should, and is there such thing as bear repellant? If so, I'm all over that like flies on shit. Sorry for the crudeness, but I can't find at the moment another way to compare my want for such a chemical. 

Sharks have a repellant don't they? 

Anyways. I'm still in a cast and crutches so this should be pretty interesting. Hiking with crutches... Can be done right? Swimming? God I hope this thing comes off on Tuesday next week. My X-rays are set for August the 6th so, fingers crossed!  

I'm excited though none the less. Putting all freak scenarios aside, I'm sure Melissa and myself will be just fine and will have a great time! I'm pretty sure I'll have some sort of crazy story to tell when I get back.

Why do I have a bad feeling I will end up face planting a poison Ivy bush?  

Stay Tuned! 

True Love

So, when I was in high school, I was browsing the internet one day and came ended this random site. To be honest I must have been goofing around on Google typing in things like; love, true love, real love, you know how teenagers are. I can't remember if I was in a relationship or not at the time, possibly a heartbreak. Who knows.

Anyway's, I came stumbled upon this webpage "The Story Of What I Did For Love"...

Now I can't say for sure if it is a true story or not. All I now is that I had saved and printed out this story in a binder back when I first read it. I think I even cried reading it. Not to mention it comes with some beautiful soothing melody that uses Quicktime auto play. Nothing special, continuous loop. You barely even notice it once you start reading. At least I didn't.

If you happen to stumble on my blog, I highly recommend you sit down and read that story. Real or not, it makes for a good short read and really gets to you. It's sweet and sad, perfect for when you are depressed and want to make it worse.. I'm kidding!

Enjoy!! XoX ❤

It's Been Awhile

  It really has been awhile since I lasted posted. So much has happened in the last while that I don't even know where to start! 

The last time I had blogged about was going through some rough times with Matt and my health. Sadly, nothing has changed at all. Come to think of it, it's alot worse.

Where do I start with this grand update? 

Okay, let's start with my health. Well on a positive note my neck is alot better. I only visit the chiropractor once a week now, which is a huge leap from three times. On a sad, depressing, painful to mention note; I have recently broken my foot. How recent? Tuesday July 9th. Yep. Just my luck! In the dead of summer, I break my foot. Well, spiral fracture on the 5th metatarsal to be exact. Who cares what it is! It sucks! It's a broken bone that is now captivated in a death contraption called an air cast. Now alot of people would argue the thought of an air cast compared to a regular hard cast. I know, I know, I'm considered lucky in that sense. I can shower and take it off for my foot to breath right? I don't have to deal with having that nasty condition called 'smelly cast-foot syndrome.' Besides, if that were the case, I would most likely settle with amputation. GROSS!

Anyway's, it's been five days already and I'm going nuts! It swells like a balloon and it barely even fits in the cast any more. I think it's a sign to stop taking it off. To make the experience even more enjoyable, I wasn't prescribed any pain medication... Yay *faded*

Did I forget to mention that this is my first broken anything? First real injury! Well if the whole Cuba head trauma thing doesn't count. *Sigh* 

Six weeks in the air cast I was told. Two weeks until the next X-ray to see how the bone is healing. *fingers crossed*

It sucks hopping around on one foot, crutching around the house like a wounded soldier. It freaking sucks!! Not to mention I am a freaking cluts! Cluts-zilla should be my name! I smash into almost everything. I must of smashed my foot in total 50 times today. Not to mention falling going upstairs.... Yah...*long pause* I swear I'm going to end up in a full body cast one day if I don't take better care of myself.

On the plus side, Matt's family has been super supportive and super kind! Feeding me and making me smoothies, forcing me to sit down and ice my foot. Buying me awesome breakfasts and desserts to make me happy. They are so cute! Sad to say that they are there for me more then Matt is. *sigh* I will explain that after, it's a whole other story. My mom also has been pretty helpful and caring. It's nice to see that for a change since she never really took care of me. 

Moving on, it's trash talk Matt time. Well it's not trash talking, more like talking about him behind his back online. That sounds bad, scratch that. Anyways, where to begin with this boy... He has been next to impossible lately and no, I'm not just over reacting or being dramatic.

Okay.. So, as I mentioned before, rough patch. We sort of crawled out of the ditch for awhile, and by awhile I mean a few days, maybe a week or two. We now upgraded to sleeping in his bed at home instead of a bed we would make in his basement. We also had a weekend family getaway to Sherkston Shores Resort for the Canada Day weekend. Good times while they lasted. Sadly, he has fallen into this lying binge lately. I'm really starting to see a pattern here with him. 

It's like, if and when I'm injured, he backs away from me and distances himself. It's not me over thinking things. He hasn't kissed me in 5 days, hugged me or been affectionate with me in anyway, at all. Nada. I laid right beside him for 2 days straight with my broken foot in agony trying to get comfortable and sleep, and nothing. Not even goodnight. What's wrong with him!? I swear he doesn't love me any more! That's not even my problem with him! It gets way worse! 

He had been kicked off his soccer club 'Sporting' a little while back, and he went through his own small rough patch. But with the help of his friend Phil, Mauro, and myself, we had pulled together a new plan/project for him with a different soccer club in Toronto. I was there for him the most. I saw it in his face and the way he changed how much it affected him. It was hard for him, he wouldn't admit it. I knew better though. I was there for him as best as any girlfriend could be for someone they love, as long as the other person allows them to be there. He refused to talk to me and express how he truly felt.

A few days after, I had notice him imploding on himself, I addressed his emotional breakdown by asking him to talk to me. He freaked out at me and we ended up getting into a huge fight. He then ended up confessing that he had been avoiding me, and choosing to not tell me or talk about his feelings towards the whole situation. Why? Because he "assumed" I would be disappointed with him and his decision to not get back into it right away.... Ummm. I have been by your side through this whole mess! Staying up till 2-3 am in the morning in Tim Hortons with you and your friends just to brain storm, even when I had work  in the morning. Then scouting games for 2 hours at a time right after I would finish my real job. Rushing around and stressing; trying to involve myself in things I have no understanding of, just for you. Having headaches and migraines 3-4 days in a row from lack of sleep!  Ugh! Why? Because I love you and believe in you. So you can turn around and shit on me...  *Sigh*  

Sometimes I question myself, why do I bother? 

Today we had fought for 3 hours...it just keeps getting worse. I honestly feel like he takes me for granted and doesn't appreciate me. Even with me being hurt and weak, I find him getting frustrated with me and purposely trying to inflict pain on me by hurting me. Like the other day, he took my braided hair and whipped me in the face with it. It hit me in the eye made it water and burn like a bitch. He laughed sinisterly. Then I started crying because I felt like he was bullying me. I happen to be very emotional right now with this whole broken foot thing and not being able to be mobile. I hate not being able to be self sufficient. Anyway's, I told him how he made me felt in that moment, his response was to just laugh... Great... 

Anyway's, I'm exhausted. Time to hit the hay. 

Here are some recent pictures of what's been going on. Enjoy!

Air cast bound for 6 weeks *sad face*

Ps. I'm a blonde now ;).. Well sort of.

Down in the dumps.

It's official. My relationship is falling apart in front of me and I can't find a way to selvage it.

For the first time in a long time, I can't think of anything I wanted more but didn't fight to get it. Does that make sense? Probably not... But then again nothing to me makes sense anymore.

Where did we go wrong?

Fighting and arguing is the only thing we seem to have left in this crazy relationship. What's to come of us?

I want us to work, I really and truly do. I love Matt with all my heart and can't think of anyone I would want to spend my time with or my life with for that matter. It's been years since I was able to let go and just fall madly in love. I usually put walls up to avoid getting hurt. 

To be completely honest, I truly believe he does not love me or care about be the way he use to any more. Sounds like I'm over reacting right? But I'm not, I can assure you.

He has completely thrown his hands up to this whole relationship and it pushing away as much as he can.

I want to give up but I don't know how! I feel so emotionally invested in this relationship that it is not in me to throw this under the bus and say to hell with it.

For the love of GOD I was planing on going to England with him! Forget going! Moving! How do you loose feelings for someone that fast?

I'm so crushed. I don't know what to do...

Sunday Confirmation

Sunday 21st was Matthew's cousin Marcus's grade 8 confirmation. I of course was invited which is great, but family gatherings that are not my family scare the crap out of me.

I think it could be the fact I haven't really met 'all' of his family yet, or at least all in one sitting. Well it wasn't that large of a gathering at the banquet hall which was a good thing. But none of this is important or relevant to why I am writing this blog.

I want to discuss the relationship of Matt's mom and I. Lets start with outfit selecting shall we. First of all, I was the first person she wanted to give her an opinion on what she should wear. Skirt or pants? This top or that one? These shoes or those?
Let me start off by saying, I'm an acceptance whore. I have this "need" to be accepted by the significant others parents. Especially the mother, always the mother.

I've been dating Matt for a year, just 2 months over now and it feels like I've been fighting for his mothers attention. Well, not really, she would bake with me and stuff but still. I wanted more! I also felt like I was trying to take the place of Matthew's Ex girlfriend Maria, which was hard for me to stomach.

Anyways, back to the story.

So, the day of, I needed pantyhose, I was going to go with Matt to Walmart to quickly grab a pair but his mother offered to have me try on a pair of hers that weren't opened. Okay, nothing special about that right? Right.

After I was dressed, I was trying out accessories to wear with the dress, which of course I asked her opinion. She took a look at the bracelet I had on, then turned to her jewellery box and went through her stuff and picked one of hers for me to wear. I thought that was really nice of her. I then sat down and watched her put on her make-up.

Once we were all done we headed to the church then straight to the hall. I ended up sitting beside his mom in the hall, which was fine. Night went well, then espresso and brandy and baileys shots were passed around. I declined of course 'vow from Cuba'.

Then his mother says;

" Does this mean I don't have a drinking partner if I want to go out?"

WoW! I swear I must of blushed!

Matt then stepped in before I could say anything;

" Don't worry, she'll grow out of it soon enough."

Umm, no I won't... I almost died!! Hello!?!

Then it was time for pictures. They came to the table that we were sitting at and wanted a family group shot. I moved out of the way. Lina; Matt's cousin, then told me to get into the picture, I'm considered part of the family too.

Matt's mom then followed that with "practically" which threw me off...maybe more so in a bad way...

Later that night when we got home, Matt and his dad went downstairs to the basement to watch the highlights from the Benfica game, while his mom, miki and I stayed upstairs. Me and his mom ended up having a long winded conversation for over half an hour. The conversation consisted of married life, changes, dealing with the family drama they are experiencing. I like it when she opens up to me and talks to me about personal things. Especially when we can relate.

I hope soon we can actually have bonding time. Like if she were to invite me out somewhere alone. Like she did with the ex Maria...all..the...time.

God.

Update on health- still shit. That is all.

Lack of Affection

So I noticed it has been awhile since I last posted.

Where has the time gone? Anyway

So an update on my health status, it's still shit. In alot of pain at the moment and still no feeling in my right thumb and index finger *sad face*

Chiro x2 a week and I've been slacking with the massages. Haven't had one in over a week and I think it is the reason why I'm not improving. Crap.

Tax season? Finally just filed mine yesterday. Pushing the deadline much?

Affection? Hmm, the reason for the title should be explained.

Where do I start? Hmm let's see, NO affection for moi !

None.

At all.

Kisses? Nah! I don't get any. Bedroom passion? Don't get any of that either. Spooning is the only affection I get and sadly, even that's poor and lacking. Hugs? Sure, if your into the whole hugging your buddy *pat pat* on the back thing.

What happen? A fight that took place like 2 weeks ago... Sure, talk about holding a grudge. Although it's not me!

Yes dear Matthew was apparently hurt and now he is "safe guarding" himself... Okay?

No! It's annoying! Like get over it already! It was just a fight! No one cheating on anyone, no one physically hurt anyone. Just a regular altercation! It happens in relationships. But now you want to shut down everything else in the relationship cause you want to what? Prove a point?

I'm starting to think my injury has alot to do with this. I've noticed a change in his behavior big time. He started off caring and concerned, helpful, always wanting to treat me or take care of me. It lasted for the first week or so. But instead of it getting better or it not being a big issue, it got worse and started affecting me emotionally. I feel like he's frustrated with me because I'm still broken and need help. It's like I'm not allowed to be injured for more then a week and supposed to spring right back. No, it doesn't work like that. I use to be the one taking care of him and now the roles reversed. He's not taking well to it.

*sigh* On another note, I'm job hunting again, looking for a part time office job so I can take it easy on my body and focus on fixing my posture and spinal deformities.

Well back to work, lets hope things change and start looking up. I need a pick me up and soon. I want to go to England. Seriously, start fresh.

*Fingers Crossed*

Crazy Week

So I haven't posted since last week.

Probably because I've been broken?

I'm a walking disaster right now. Looking back to my last post, I'm doing a whole lot worse. My hand is numb! Well my thumb and index finger. My neck and shoulder is still in pain but doing alot better. Did I mention I have electric sharp shooting pain into my arm?

Ugh! It's affecting my work. OH! I forgot to mention! I'm a freak! Yes a freak! I had X-rays done on my full spine and I look like a lopsided animal! It's so depressing to know I look like that underneath all that skin and fat. Yuck!

I had cupping done. It's nasty looking. (Picture below says enough)

My cervical spine has no curve at all! And my lumbar spine is curved and rotated. I have rotatory scoliosis. YaY? :/ Great!

So with the help of Massage Therapists, Chriopractor's, and a Naturopathic doctor, they are all currently trying to correct me and help me live a pain free life. Is this possible?

*STOP FAVORING YOUR RIGHT SIDE*

I've been wearing a neck brace at night, that's pretty awesome. Not.

I have a question to ask! Why wasn't warm ice created? What about people with cold sensitivities. You know, the kind where you can't creat your own body heat and your core temperature drops below -80. Fun times let me tell you.

Hmm, lets see; I've been massaging my clients a with my right hand in my pocket to avoid using it. Doesn't really matter since I can't feel it anyways!! Professional right? Not. Well, whatever it takes to stop abusing myself right?

All I know is I'm one step away from looking like Kwazi Moto. No joke. True story.

Sleepy time.

PS. Current picture.

Depressed

Have you ever been in so much pain that you can't even function to put on your own clothes?

Or to the point that you break down crying cause it's affecting your ability to work?

Well I am currently suffering with a problem in my neck, right shoulder and arm. It all started Wednesday last week on the 20th. I woke up totally fine, no pain, went to grab something from the closet overhead and BAM! Neck spams from HELL!

Whatever, I've dealt with this before, some stretching, heat, massage from the boyfriend, and some Advil. Usually my pains go away in 2-3 days. Not this time.

On Thursday 21st I had 15 clients at work. I think I forgot to mention what I do for a living. I massage people. Professionally of course. I'm fully licensed and practicing for 3 years now. Anyways!

10 clients in and I'm DYING! So I seek out a fellow MT to help me. I find a rehab clinic upstairs in the same building that is willing to take me in for a 30 min treatment. She helps, I get some relief, but it doesn't last long seeing as I still had 5 treatments to do.

After work, I went home, took a hot shower, stretched, and popped and Advil then went to bed.

When I woke up in the morning I was a disaster! I was having sharp shooting pain in my eye, visual disturbances, and tingling in my arm. Okay? I till had to face work for the rest of the weekend. Great!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday go by and it's just getting worse. The pain is now catching my arm!

Monday (yesterday) rolls around and still working! I work Mondays and Wednesdays at a Chiropractic clinic uptown. After 2 treatments I couldn't take it anymore. I was in tears! I approached the Chriopractor and asked him for help. Let me start off by saying Chiropractors scare me. I've never been adjusted before and never wanted to be. But I was desperate!

So he did what any Chiro does, he cracked my neck. Apparently, according to him I have a pinched nerve and I had a rib that was popped out :/ ... Umm okay?
He also made me wear a cervical spine decompressor which didn't really help. I actually found that it caused me more pain.

Today it is Tuesday and YES I am working! I'm in so much pain that I'm considering taking work off for the rest of the week. My arms are gone, no strength at all, shoulder and neck are shot to shit. (Excuse me French) but I can't help but be irritable and cranky!

I booked another massage at 4 pm between clients. I know there no point but I'll take anything at this point.

Heal me please! Somebody! *tear*

Coming home

So Matt is coming back home tomorrow from Portugal. I don't know how I feel about that to be completely honest... I thought I would be excited, ecstatic to be honest since I missed him so much. But I'm not :/ I'm indifferent, and I can't seem to understand why. Maybe it was because he upset me and we got into an argument on Friday night. But why should something like that push me so over the edge to a point where I don't care to miss you?

We haven't really talked all that much since he had left. We Skype here and there whenever he gets the chance.

" I miss you, I feel like apart of me is missing, I hate not seeing you. I want to dedicate more time to you."

These words and a whole lot more was preached to me over the time he was there. But yet, Friday, 2 and a half days left till he returns, I write something sentimental on his Facebook wall.
I believe I wrote ...

" Two and a half days left... That's two days too many :("

His response to that was..

"It's already been 6 days"

What?... Are you joking?.... It's hard enough for me to display public affection, especially on your Facebook wall, and that's what you respond with?!?

I made a comment to him later on that his response was "lame," to which he responded with.." Wow, really?"

We talked a little more and then he took off for a short period of time. I finished work and was getting ready to leave when I got a Skype message saying..

"They want me to go to a bar, should I go? :/"

Not even two seconds after that he posts a comment on MY Facebook wall saying..

" "I wish you were here (L)" "..

I quoted that in a quote because be quoted that himself!! :/

Trying to soften the blow much? Only after I make a stink about the comment you last made and now you wanna go to a bar. How convenient.

He ended up going of course and strolling in at 4 am in the morning. I wanted to snap! This caused a fight the next day and we haven't been the same since...

I'm going with his parents to the airport tomorrow to pick him up... Hopefully things change then and the thirst for him comes back.

We will see... His flight is at 5:30 am their time, 1:30 an hour our time. He is expected at 3-3:30 pm tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.

He Left Me

Yes, that's right. He left me. He went to Portugal for a week without me....*SAD FACE*

As I have mentioned, he works in a Soccer Club that happens to travel annually to Portugal to practice and learn in their actual academy. What sucks thought is I have no Matt for a whole week. This blows. It happened last year too but it didn't suck AS much. Mainly because I didn't love him yet.

Anyway's, he had to be at the airport for 5:00 pm since his flight was for 8. His parents and Miki took him and told me to come along. Thank GOD I only had one client at work yesterday. So we all went over to the airport. Matt sat in the middle seat of the back and Miki and I sat on either side. Both of us were crying and the parents were laughing at both of us. "

"It's only a week guys, he will be back"

So we dropped him off, we left, Miki wanted me to stay with him for a bit still and play video games with him, which I agreed to. Before I left Matt's dad Bino, asked for my number to put in his phone so that they could invite me over for coffee or dinner. The Mindy and I hugged and she said that since she is always home and barely answers her cell phone to just call the house. We said our goodbyes and Matt phoned me as I was getting into my car.

We spoke a few more times until his plane took off. He even sent my a text message while he was in the air.

6 hours and 46 minutes was the length of his flight. I kept track and set alarms to wake me up around his arrival time. It was 3:08 am here in Ontario when he landed and 8:11 am there in Portugal. HE had sent me a text message from his phone around 4:10 am here to let me know he had landed and that he will contact me when he has the chance. I have already received 1 text message since and then he had messaged me on skpye around 12 pm here.

I miss him so much... I cant wait till he comes home on the 18th. I have never wished for it to be a Monday so much in my entire life.

I love you Matthew.
❤

Friday Date night

Yesterday was a great day! No work? Sounds great! But seriously, in all honestly, having no work yesterday was the best thing. I ended up having a wonder afternoon/evening with my Matthew. *sigh*

I have slept over almost every night this whole week at his house, so I ended up driving him to school yesterday morning for 8:30. It was cool mainly since I made him stay up late to watch "Baggage" with me. Have you seen it? It's hosted by Jerry Springer and basically it's about the main player either a female or male trying to find a date out of three bachelors or three bachelorettes who all have, well, baggage! To sum it all up,the three contestants each have 3 suitcases, a small, medium, and a large. In each suitcase is a piece of baggage that they have to reveal to the main person in which she or he must send 2 of them packing. 

To be completely honest I hate reality TV and games shows for the most part but for some reason, I am hooked! They have the most bizarre "baggage" I have ever seen!

UH? ....What?

At the end of the game, if the main player has finally ruled out which contestants baggage they can handle, he or she then has to reveal their biggest piece of baggage and hope that theirs is accepted too. Yes, the main player of the game can be rejected for their baggage. I find it so funny! The outcome sometimes is hilarious! You must watch if you have the GSN (Game Show Network).

Anyways! Back to yesterday *happy face*

So after I dropped him off at school, I went home to take care of my own little things. We decided that we were going to meet up in the afternoon since he finishes school at 1:30 on Fridays. I had brought up the idea of venturing downtown just for the heck of it! So that's what we did! I wanted to take the bus so we both picked a subway station close to the both of us to meet at. He decided to take me to Kensington Market which is a National Historic site of Canada that contains a mixture of vintage clothing stores, Latin American grocers and butchers, loads of fresh quality produce, café's and watering holes. Then he decided to take me to the Distillery District which is another historic entertainment site located on the east end of Toronto and it withholds numerous café's, restaurants, shops, art gallery's and exhibits.

After venturing around in our lovely freezing Canadian weather! We decided that we were starving and wanted to eat. It was a toss-up between Porketta Sandwiches or Mexican. We both agreed on Mexican food. Besides, I've been craving for it a long time now.

Matt said he knew a good place that he's been to three times on Yonge called "La Mexicana." Which I must say was totally worth it. First of all, I know the history of this place to him, so I was kind of sceptical and awkward at first. Him and his ex had their "one year" there and his birthday which both happen to fall on the same day.. Great.. Associate your birthday with your ex. Ugh.

Any-Who! It was an overall memorable evening. We both ordered the same dishes since it caught both of our attentions.I need to mention how they place nachos on the table! So much better then bread! YUM!

Cute Place

Nachos! Yum!!

 The ambiance was very nice, and not to mention they had a live Mariachi band who was circling the restaurant! So much fun! 

They ended up approaching us and asking us if we had a request. Matt told them to surprise us to which they then turned to me and asked me if I speak Spanish. Clearly not ... So I said "No." They then started singing a song in English. Stand by Me by Ben. E. King was the song that they chose. They also made us hold both hands through the hold entire song. I was so embarrassed! It wasn't a special occasion or anything, but the whole room was staring at us being sarenated. All I could do was laugh. Matt just smiled at me and sang along to the song while looking at me. I was bright red! RED!

These were the dishes we got. The same I know. Great minds think alike :)

After dinner, we head back to his house to watch a movie. He has a slew of movies that I haven't watched yet. He decided we should watch Inglorious Bastards by Quentin Tarantino. Honestly a great movie!

We then curled up together and went to sleep. Perfect ending to a perfect day. *sigh* I love him.

So darling, darling, stand by me. Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me.

Muah! XoX
