christmas on steroids.

also known as, bright lights in stanley park
we didn't have time to go on the little train ride through the park
{we chose zac efron instead.
the movie ended up being pretty cheesy
...so not sure if we made the best choice there}
however, we were able to enjoy the lights in the plaza
we had to do a rushed loop since the park was closing in five minutes.
and judging by this santa, some ornaments were ready to call it a night.
have a great saturday everyone!!

la chaleur des lumières

{the warmth of lights}instead of studying for exams,
i decided to string some lanterns and hang some lights.
the lanterns + twinkle lights have instantly
made my bedroom feel more cozy + festive.
i'm telling myself that such a cozy atmosphere will surely
encourage diligent studying.
it's working already, look:
{my last required read of the semester. fini!}

speaking of exams,
i'm afraid that it is really crunch time!
consequently,
i will not be spending much time around here these next few days.

as of thursday, december tenth, at nine o'clock pm,
{yes, an exam at night time. what a horrible idea}
i will be free to:
blog + pleasure read + have a sleepover with the niece and nephew
+ decorate christmas cookies + go to vancouver + send off christmas cards
+ go for a massage + christmas shop + cook + organize my photo albums
at my leisure for {almost} a whole glorious month.

see you then!!
