in a daze

life of the rich but not so famous

spent the day downtown with auntie bonnie to "culturalize" myself. omgosh it was SO much fun, definitely unforgettable. anyways we go downtown and we go to this restaurant called big daddy's and we go to the indoor section (which is like the basement) and the decor was SO nice, like so creative. anyways, we ate soo much. had fried calamari, ALLIGATOR bites (actually tasted like chicken..), RAW oysters (actually better than cooked), and cajun shrimp/crawfish rice. omgosh, okay, my tastes are definitely expanded! like who eats alligator and raw oysters on a daily basis. oh gosh. then we went on bloor to shop and "study what other people wear" (lol) well yeah we went to over the rainbow and yeahhh i cant afford anything but the stuff was pretty average anyways. and then we walked around i dont even remember where lol but we walked a lot and sat a lot cuz it was hot and i am easily tired. (hehe) oh yeah we went into this designer store (i swear the designer was gay) but anyways his styles were really cool, bizarre but cool. like if i saw anyone wearing it on the streets, i would like honestly die of laughter but i guess as art its really eccentric and can actually pass as beautiful. however! an exception was this skirt. it was only slightly bizarre but it was so creative, again, if i was rich i wouldve bought that so quickly but it was like over 1000 im sure, considering the simpler "less artistic" shirts were already high hundreds..but the designer was so nice. anywaysss we went to holt renfrew and walked around for like the longest time. and then we saw these purses there was this marc jacobs purse that was only like $199..."only" but yeah i guess in rich peoples standards thats cheap but the craziest thing was that i could have owned it...my aunt was like this close to buying it but okay im sorry im so chinese but thats still 200 bucks! anyways there was this pucci bag we both REALLY liked but yeah its $500 (on sale) and yeeeah, NO. lol then we went to the clothing level and oh my word, there were like kids of 11 or something and their parents were so spoiling them lucky bums. example:
mother (tall blonde): im just gonna grab a few shirts for ______
father (in suit and really good posture): honey, mommy's gonna buy you that shirt okay?
daughter (chubby): *shrugs*
father: oh you dont want it?
daughter (slightly smiling): noo, i do.
mother (by racks): this shirt with your other skirt *moves to rack where i was...kinda nudges me aside* or do you want this orange dress?
me: *walks away knowing i cant afford anything....* LOL
but bonnie bought me some face stuff from there before leaving (main reason for going) and the guy was so nice..even though he kept touching me face (apparently, i have dehydrated cheeks)...i think he was gay...

afteeer we walked underground, and looked at more purses and drank juice (and the guy was like macking on my aunt..very EW..but whatever he was nice) and then we went to some like underground store and got this shirt for like 10 bucks so good..oh yeah whoever wants, they were selling sean john stuff for $20

thenn we walked to eatons and oh we were walking to sephora but then i got distracted by suzy shier cuz they had a sale. anyways i bought my halter, its black, i hate it, but...itll have to do..but on the bright side! it was only 7.50 :) anyways we went to sephora, looked at my philosophy stuff, and she said it wasnt good (aww) we looked around a bit and then went out to second cup i think, (oh yeah! we ate some homemade frozen yogourt before holt renfrew...and we bought "the best chocolate in the world" from chocolate and cremes which in my humble opinion, wasnt the best chocolate in the word at all lol) but anyways got iced white mocha from second cup and it was so cold and nice and it kept us awake for the rest of the time and then i was telling her how i wanted to get a staple perfume so we went back to sephora and spent like the longest time there until we tried every perfume there basically...and then they recommended us to go to sears cuz i couldnt decide. and then at searss omgosh, even MORE perfumes. and then we got recommended all these kinds too, oh gosh, im so picky...anyways i think i tried like every brand there was available. things ive never even heard of before but heres the few ive decided i like best..so help me choose :)

anyways we went to "LEE" for dinner. i LOVE this chef. okay not only is he super...mmm cant say creative for this but he made two restaurants side by side the first fine-dining, called his first name susur (retard name..but what can we say? hes an artist..for culinary) and the second restaurant is casual dining called his last name LEE. anyways both are superly good, just one has a richer atmosphere. anyways we had fusion food. okay yes, first time for everything again. it was SUPER good though. we had avocado and pineapple salad. it was SOOOO good like the textures and tastes and everything was SO nicely complimenting omgosh. it was amazing. and then there was some kind of pork salad with apple, current, and something dresssing. okay i swear that was not pork..it was so much more elegant than the chinese pork that were used to. it was like...elegant. and then we had lamb with this mint and pineapple sauce that was SO good too omgosh it was like woww..and thennnn we had duck confit which was good..but the topping was too sweet and took away from the rest of the taste..oh my word im becoming a food critic! oh yeah and i had my first martini, whoo, dont i feel special. but its like pretty good, anyways i ate way too much today and i feel super fat and i have cramps annnnd bonnies a crazy driver. i was very afraid in her car
