Woohoo! For the first time in 9 months, I had the chance to chill (well, it can be taken literally coz it really is cold outside!) and enjoy the sights, tastes and sounds of downtown Toronto on a Saturday night.
Our first stop was at Distillery district. The place is quite memorable to me coz the first time I went there was the day I had bonded with a friend who visited me from Halifax and we're like the loudest that night. Haha. Anyway, I remember that night felt so romantic and nice. Families and couples went there for the Christmas night market. I felt the love in the air.
And tonight was no exception. It is still the same topic of our conversations. Only with another friend this time. Love. Haha. Or I guess it's just me. I bring it with me wherever I go whomever I am with. I just love to talk about "IT".
I love the SOMA Chocolatemaker place! It was just nice and cozy to stay for a hot chocolate or coffee. I had the the Classic Dark-side of me mug which was really like the kind you'd love to wake up drinking in the morning. Catchy label huh? :D
The place offered a variety of delicious chocolate gourmet and truffles too. To Chocolate lovers, this place will be like heaven for you! :)
Then we went to listen to Jazz music at The Rex Hotel, Jazz and Blue bar at Queen street West. The place was jam-packed with yuppies to middle-aged crowd. They play cool music and serve good food too. Overall, i'd say the experience was just O.K. I realized that I still prefer the quiet places like coffee shops or just me preparing a home-cooked meal for dinner or enjoying a popcorn while watching a movie at home with someone special. Or maybe I just love quality time alone. Depends really who I am with, I think.
Anyway, tonight being the self-proclaimed hopeful romantic that I am (I can't believe I am saying it here out loud! insert face-palm here), I have allowed my train of thoughts to wander and challenged my brain to articulate something I would like to say about Love:
"Love in all its mysterious ways is unfathomable. Compelling. The next thing you know you got hit by an arrow. And you find yourself dumbfounded and yielding to the mandates of its glorious reign as it resides in your heart. Then you know you are never the same. It changes you. Forever. 💙 " - KLC
So cheers to all those hopefuls and faithfuls out there! Here's to finding that One True Love! :)
