Tremblant: Blueberry Lake Chalets

Annnnnnd we're off... at 5 in the A.M.


The eight hour drive there went by really quickly, surprisingly.






Our chalet was even prettier than in pictures!




We used the hot tub at least once, if not, twice a day. Sooo nice.


Waffles, strawberries, tea, a beautiful view with natural sunlight, and a good book for breakfast. What else can you ask for?!


Alex cooked an entire meal for us! It was delicious and sooo filling! (Look at this gigantic portion!)


Aventure Neige tubing hills that we didn't end up going on because they were a loooot smaller than we had hoped. :( No fun!


Time to snowboooooard.


The Village at Mont Tremblant.








Maple syrup on a stick?


The view from the lifts were so breathtaking.








Oh boy.




Homemade potato salad from scratch :)


I'm back from Tremblant and I kinda miss it already. Our chalet was beautiful. It was completely built with wood, large open ceiling in the living room with a nice fireplace, gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor hot tub, pool table in the basement, and practically all the amenities we needed. While we were there, the weather was amazing. And by amazing, I still mean -10C of coldness, but it was masked by the sunny and clear skies so we could hardly tell. To me, the highlight of the trip was star gazing at night from the hot tub, singing along to old school tunes, and running back into the chalet afterwards for a nice hot chocolate. These are some of the pictures from my camera, but the majority of them were taken on Dan's DSLR, which I will probably upload later. Hope everyone had a nice reading week/spring break! :)

Daflanki.

Daniel drew this back in December when our group was still in the best shape. I miss this so much. I miss when we all used to get along so well. Things are so different now only two months later, but regardless, we're off to Blueberry Lake Resort at Mont Tremblant for the next week. I hope everyone is able to pull their shit together and forget the "drama"-- at least, temporarily. I'm hoping for the best.

Hanging out with the guys means eating greasy foods. Wings & beer, anyone? Blah.


Stoned Aaron, lmao. Devoured that sub like a monster.


Name tag for Schulich recruitment weekend.


The Via Rail London station. My train home was delayed for four hours and I was stuck there for no freakin' reason. I was so frustrated because I didn't get home till 1AM when I was supposed to be back by 9PM to attend a late family dinner.


Taco night with Liv! We made enough for like twenty people, haha. Needless to say, we had a LOT of leftovers.


Livia also made me watch The Roommate with her. Which, by the way, was the WORST MOVIE EVER. PLEASE SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AND DON'T WATCH IT.


Chinese New Year moneyyyyy, baby. This year's count was around five hundred, which is less than 'usual', but I'm reallllly not complaining.


Super Saturday. Sushi and shopping with Sandra.


Hellooo.


My favourite kind of root beer and Super Smash Bros.


"Um, hello. We can't find parking anywhere..."


I love DeSerres and scrapbooking paper.


Late night studying with the boys and the discovery of the yummiest juice: Frooti.


The boys apartment. After six months, they still have minimal furniture and no curtains. Figures.


Gotta love waking up to a "You're So Special" balloon - LOL.


A & P's engagement party with Liv. Super awkward because I didn't know anyone except the DJ, of all people.

I needed to get out of the house so I've been staying over at the boys' apartment. This weekend wasn't exactly eventful, per se, but I got a lot of work done and had chill times with the guys. Three more days in London, then reading week!!! What did everyone do this weekend? PS. Party Rock Anthem ♥

Blackberry Torch.

I upgraded to the Blackberry Torch (yes, after long debate, I still caved back into my little RIM hole unwilling to give up a physical keyboard or BBM). I'm quite impressed with the responsiveness of the touch screen as I expected it to suck like the Storm did, but the battery life is still pretty disappointing. I got the phone over the weekend spontaneously. It wasn't planned; there was no excitement. I don't remember the last thing I was excited about-- do you? Is it because I'm growing up and little things are less exciting, or am I just living life on auto-pilot-- entirely emotionless? I'm spending reading week up at Mont Tremblant in Quebec with my friends; I'm going to Asia (for the first time, mind you) for eleven days in March with my family; It's also likely that I will be going on another cruise post-exams in April. Shit, there's a lot I should be excited for in terms of traveling alone-- but I'm not. Figures.

I had lunch with a really good friend of mine over the weekend. We don't see each other often, but when we do, we pick things up like time doesn't exist. She tells me, "Your life seems so perfect!" I laugh at that because people commonly tell me this and it seems like everyone believes it, but me. I always want more, more, more; better, better, better. And to some extent, I think it's good to always want improvement. But on the other hand, I need to learn how to be satisfied with what I have. I've quoted Ani DiFranco many times before, but: What kind of paradise am I looking for? I've got everything I want and still I want more.
