Traveling Jays Fan
Still not completely over the devastating loss of Blue Jays last night. The game was very exciting and we were soooooo close to winning it all in a few opportunities! I only started watching the game for the past 10 games or so as my home team looked more and more like a worthy contender […]

Boredom
It took another week or so for me to fully recover from the cold/flu. Toronto had a week of heavy snow and cold weather. Report said that the total snowfall in just one week equaled that of the entire Winter last year! And because of the snow, I stayed home and had my first Sunday […]

A Little Pause
Not long after I messaged my mom that I have been staying healthy and never got sick in the past two or so months since returning to Canada, I started feeling unwell on Monday. Couldnāt remember the last time I got sick, but living alone and still hadnāt had my health card renewed with the […]
