Danny Krivit!

So my weekend went by so quickly, but it was quite nice. On Friday nite, I was super tired so I fell into sleep, but woke up early and started cleaning my place. Then I went to a nearest organic restaurant called LIVE to have my breakie there. I had this French Onion Soup, which was very tasty. Then I went to an east asian art and clothing shop next door, where I bought a facy reddish/orange wrap around skirt for the warmer weather. It was so beautiful, and although i was wearing this hip hop/yoga stype olive color tight pants, the skirt matched well with it, so I wore it out for my shopping errands that I was planning on doing. I will take a photo of it sometime soon. LOL I then went to the organic grocery store to buy some veges, dried beans, e3live (organic liquid vitamins) and what not. Then because I had soo much grocery with me, I decided to come home for a cup of tea and a slice of cherry cheese cake for a dessert.hmmm It was tasty. Then the weather was so gorgeous and I got lots of sun light from the window of my room..so I took a photo of me chilling on my bed.. LOL



and then I took a nap, since I was still feeling abit tired (I usually sleep in on Sat morning even I may go to bed early the nite before)....got up and then went to the gym. I then came home and ate some food (mixed vege tomato stew and steamed basmati and wild rice)...and chilled a bit.

I was determined to go and check out Danny Krivit, so I went out to see the show with my friend, Hisa. It took sometime to find a good parking lot, but we found one, and on the way to the venue, we bumped into Danny Krivit, so we had to say hi. We shook hands and it was nice to see his bright down-to-earth smiles :) I was ready to rock'n roll... lol

I found a bit difficult time getting into the mix first, because the sound sort of scattered away (too high ceiling). And the speaker was sort of facing the middle, so it did not travel to the side that I was staying. But I got used to it, and sort of fell in love with the people's great vibes and lost myself dancing with them. It was super fun dancing with loads of people. :)

There was this house dancer crew that was doing their thing, and it really brought much joy in me. I love dancing so much, so it feels just so right when others do their things. :)

Here is a photo of me before heading out for the nite.


My sunday was sent somewhat chilling but busy from afternoon until nite.
But I made a pretty good brunch though. I made salad with curry flavoured chickpea, mushroom, roasted asparagus over two different kind of lettuce and avocado (with ginger dressing) and stir fly vege with red beans over steamed kasha (buck wheat). My roommate loves steamed buck wheat (apparently, it is a Russian thing), so he called his friend over so that three of us can enjoy the feast from Sunday early afternoon. Was super delicous :) I will post photos of them later tomorrow..

Then later, although I was sort of very tired from staying up, dancing up in storm for 3 hours (kind of nothing, but was tired) the nite before, I had to go to some shops for work, so I left my place for shopping. Then I worked out, went to an asian grocery store, did my laundry, cooked food (steamed basmati and wild rice, curry flavoured potatoes with tuna, vegetarian cabbage roll with chick peas, mushroom, carrot, spinach and onion, tomato soup from the broth I got from cooking the cabbage roll, avocado and green salad with ginger dressing and cut up some fruits). So overall, I think I did a lot of cooking today. But considering I will be visiting my best friend in Chicago soon, I want to make sure I know what I will be cooking while staying there, so I have been trying different styles of cooking to decide the best of best recipes that I have came up with... :)

Anyway, gotta go and sleep. Good nite :)
