Aerolatte

Hello hello!

I'm back from vacation in Orlando, i've got lots to tell but until I upload my pictures, I want to share something I just found out; how amazing an aerolatte is. Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE lattes. Mochachinos more specifically but lattes in general. So I bought myself a little gidget called an 'aerolatte' a while back, before I even moved. I bought it from amazon 'cause it was on special and I figured it wouldn't work very well but I loved the idea of being able to make lattes at home. See, I used to be a barista, I therefore got used to making myself perfect coffee from a professional barista machine and then missed it the second I stopped working there. But 5$ for a latte is crazy if you want to drink one every morning!


So anyway, i bought the device, never used it and I tried it this morning. It's amazing!!! It frothed my soy milk A LOT. I then made a shot of expresso, pourred it in and VOILA! The only difference with a steam frother is that it doesn't warm up the milk. So I put it in the microwave for a minute first. After taht, it's 20 seconds, no mess and lots of froth. I'm so happy. I can now enjoy vanilla soy milk lattes whenever I feel like it for waaaayyy cheaper than Starbucks!

I've relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
But I denied in my capacity to love
I am willing, to give up this fight

New Beginnings

I haven't written in a really long time and I apologize. It seems a lot of things dramatically changed in my life recently and instead of capturing them here, I took some time for myself and figured some things out.

But i'm back and hopefully with a force! ;)

I'm currently unemployed, an unfortunate event that is also a blessing in disguised. It permitted me to refocus my attention on what I wanted to accomplish in life and figure out who I wanted to be. I want to work for a non-profit organization, preferably in the fundraising sector. So i'm currently applying to a lot of places and volunteering at different organization to gain experience and therefore become more employable. Changing careers isn't easy. I feel like i'm trying to penetrate a very tight circle and it's an uphill battle.

Besides that i've moved into my very own apartment. After having roomates for 4 years, it was time for me to have my own space, my own safe haven. It's been a lot of work, packing, moving, unpacking, renovating, organizing etc. But it's also very rewarding. I have to paint my walls soon and i'm excited to pick colors and make it all mine.

I will leave you now with one of my favourite quote and a promise to write more often!

Be the change you want to see in the world - Gandhi

Life

Life is chaos. Embrace it. Forgive yourself. Breathe. And enjoy the ride.

Change this to '25' and that's pretty much where I'm at!

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...

Foster Monster & Skinny Bitches

It's been quite a while since I've posted! I apologize!

I've actually been quite busy. I took another foster dog from the SPCA but he's much more work than my dear Mia (now named Daphnee) was! The poor boy wasn't educated properly so he still marks his territory (urinate) and is VERY dominant. I can't let him on couches or on my bed as to assert myself as alpha dog. He also tries to hump anything that moves, including my knee once while I was crouching. It's quite disturbing...especially for the cats!

But he's a good dog. He just needs a firm hand and some neutering. He's a butterfly/shitzu/cocker spaniel mix. He's so cute you almost forget the monster in him.


On another note, I finished reading Skinny Bitch, a vegan prone tough-love guidebook. It was entertaining and hilarious as they don't go easy on the language. It was the first time I've ever been called a pussy for drinking coffee! It has, however, inspired me to do better with my diet and eat more fruits and vegetables and way less meat. I've been eating meat about once a week since, discovering lots of meat substitues, like soya based fake chicken, at a local health food store. A good friend of mine is also doing the same so we support each other and sometimes go grocery shopping together. I recommend the book to anyone who's ever been intrigued by vegetarism (although, it is a very strict vegan guidebook) and wants to learn some horrible truth about the food industry.
